رَفَعَهُ , (S, Msb, K,) aor.
رَفَعَ , (K, TA,) inf. n.
رَفْعٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb,)
He raised it: [this is generally the best rendering, as it serves to indicate
several particular significations which will be
found explained in what follows:]
he elevated it;
upraised it; uplifted it: he took it up: contr. of
خَفَضَهُ: (Msb:) or
of وَضَعَهُ: (S, Mgh, K:) as
also ↓
رفّعهُ, (K,) inf. n.
تَرْفِيعٌ; (TA;) and ↓
ارتفعهُ;
(K;) for accord. to the “ Nawádir, ” you say,
ارتفعهُ بِيَدِهِ and
رَفَعَهُ [
he raised it, lifted it, heaved
it, or
took it up, with his hand]; but Az says
that
ارتفع is intrans., and that he has heard no
authority for its being trans., in the sense of
رَفَعَ,
except that which he had read in the “ Nawádir
el-Aaráb:” (TA:)
رَفْعٌ is sometimes applied to
corporeal things, meaning the
raising, or
elevating,
a thing
from the resting-place thereof: sometimes
to a building, meaning the
rearing it, uprearing
it, or
making it
high or
lofty: (Er-Rághib:) or
in relation to corporeal things, it is used properly
to denote motion, and removal: (Msb:) it signifies the
putting away or removing or
turning back
a thing
after the coming or
arriving thereof; like
as
دَفْعٌ signifies the putting away or removing
or turning back a thing before the coming or
arriving [thereof]: (Kull p. 185:) but in relation
to ideal things, it is [tropically used, as it is also
in many other cases, and] accorded in meaning to
what the case requires. (Msb.) [In its principal
senses, proper and tropical,
رَفْعٌ agrees with the
Latin
Tollere..] It is said in the Kur [ii. 60 and
87],
رَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ ٱلطُّورَ We raised above you from
its resting-place the mountain: and in the same
[xii. 2],
اَللّٰهُ ٱلَّذِى رَفَعَ السَّمٰوَاتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا
[
God is He who raised the heavens without
pillars that ye see; or, as
ye see them]: and in
the same [ii. 121],
وَإِذْ يَرْفَعُ إِبْرٰهِيمُ القَوَاعِدَ مِنَ
البَيْتِ [
And when Abraham]
was rearing or
uprearing or
making high or
lofty [
the foundations
of the House of God, at Mekkeh]. (Er-Rághib.)
And you say,
اِرْفَعْ هٰذَا Take thou this: (Mgh:)
or
take it and carry it [
away; or
take it up and
remove it]. (TA.) And

رَفَعَهُ إِلَى البَيْدَرِ, (Msb,) aor.
رَفَعَ , (Lh,) inf. n.
رَفْعٌ

رِفَاعَةٌ and
رِفَاعٌ [perhaps a mistranscription for
رَفَاعُ, which see below], (Lh, TA,)
He removed, or
transported, the seed-produce
from the place in which he had reaped it, (Lh,)
or
carried it after the reaping, (S, K,)
to the
place in which the grain was to be trodden out.
(Lh, S, K.) [This last signification is said in the
TA to be tropical; but according to a passage of
the Msb quoted in the first sentence of this art.,
it is proper. In most of the phrases here following, the verb is undoubtedly used tropically.] ―
2-b2-
رَفَعُوا إِلَىَّ عُيُونَهُمْ (tropical:) [
They raised towards me their
eyes]. (TA.) ―
2-b3-
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى فُلَانٍ فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ بِى
رَأْسًا (Mgh, TA *) (tropical:)
I went in to such a one, and
he did not look towards me, nor pay any regard,
or
attention, to me. (Mgh.) [
بِى is not here a
mistake for
لِى, for the phrase is often found thus
written.] ―
2-b4-
رُفِعَ لِىَ الشَّىْءُ (assumed tropical:) [
The thing was, as
it were, raised into view, i. e.

made it to appear tall, and as though quivering,
vibrating, or
playing up and down;] syn.
زَهَاهُ
[of which, when it relates to the mirage, the
meaning is best expressed by the latter of the two
explanations here given]. (TA.) ―

We
exalt in degrees of rank, or
station, whom We
please: (Er-Rághib:) and
وَٱللّٰهُ يَرْفَعُ مَنْ يَشَآءُ
وَيَخْفِضُ (assumed tropical:)
And God exalteth whom He pleaseth,
and abaseth: (S and TA:) and [in like manner,]
رَفْعُ الذِّكْرِ means the
exalting of one's fame;

words,
وَإِلَى السَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ, in the Kur
[lxxxviii. 18], indicate two meanings;
And to the
heaven, how it is elevated in respect of its place;
and (assumed tropical:)
how it is exalted in respect of excellence,
and exaltation of rank. (Er-Rághib.) [In like
manner also,]
فِى بُيُوتٍ أَذِنَ ٱللّٰهُ أَنْ تُرْفَعَ, in the
Kur [xxiv. 36], means
In houses which God hath
permitted to be built; (Bd, TA;) accord. to
some: (TA:) or, (assumed tropical:)
to be honoured; (Zj, Bd;) so
says El-Hasan; (Zj;) or, (assumed tropical:)
to be exalted in estimation. (Er-Rághib.) It is said in a trad.,
إِنَّ
ٱللّٰهَ يَرْفَعُ العَدْلَ وَيَخْفِضُهُ (assumed tropical:)
Verily God exalteth
the just, and maketh him to have the ascendency
over the unjust, and at one time
abaseth him, so
that He maketh the unjust to overcome him, in
order to try his creatures, in the present world.

work He will accept: (Jel:) or the meaning is
يَرْفَعُ العَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ الكَلِمَ الطَّيَّبَ (assumed tropical:) [
righteous work
will cause praise, or
the like, (mentioned immediately before the above-cited words of the Kur,)

2-b8-
رَفْعٌ Also signifies (assumed tropical:) The
bringing a thing
near;

he
brought his adversary before the Sultán (
قَرَّبَهُ
إِلَيْهِ),
