دَفَعَهُ , (S, Msb, K,) aor.
دَفَعَ , (K,) inf. n.
دَفْعٌ
(Msb, K) and
دَفَاعٌ (TA) and
مَدْفَعٌ, (K,) [
He
impelled it, pushed it, thrust it, or
drove it; and
particularly,
so as to remove it from its place;
he propelled it; he repelled, or
repulsed, it; he
pushed it, thrust it, or
drove it, away, or
back;]
he put it away, or
removed it from its place,
(Msb, TA,)
by, or
with, force, or
strength: (TA:)
or
دَفْعٌ signifies the
putting away or
removing or
turning back a thing
before the coming or
arriving [of that thing]; like as
رَفْعٌ signifies the
“ putting away or removing or turning back ”
a thing “ after the coming or arriving ” thereof.
(Kull p. 185.) Hence the saying in the Kur
[ii. 252, and xxii. 41],
وَلَوْ لَا دَفْعُ ٱللّٰهِ النَّاسَ [
And
were it not for God's repelling men]; where
some read ↓
دِفَاعُ [which means the same, as will
be seen in the course of what follows, though
bearing also another interpretation, likewise to be
seen in what follows]. (TA.) You say,
دَفَعْتُ
الرَّجُلَ [
I impelled, pushed, &c.,
the man]. (S.)
And ↓
دافعهُ, inf. n.
دِفَاعٌ [and
مُدَافَعَةٌ]; and
↓
دفّعهُ; (TA;) [both, app., accord. to the TA,
signifying the same; but the latter more properly relates to several objects together, or signifies
he impelled it, pushed it, &c.,
much, or
vehemently, or
often; whereas]
مُدَافَعَةٌ (K, TA)
and
دِفَاعٌ (TA) are [often exactly]
syn. with دَفْعٌ.
(K, TA.) Thus, (TA,) you say, as meaning the
same,
دافع ↓
عَنْهُ and
دَفَعَ [
He repelled from him;
whence another explanation of these two phrases,
which see in what follows]. (S, TA.) And hence,
دَفَعَ ٱللّٰهُ عَنْكَ المَكْرُوهَ, inf. n.
دَفْعٌ, (tropical:) [
May God
repel, or
avert, from thee what is disliked, or
hated, or
evil]: (TA:) and
دَافَعَ ↓
ٱللّٰهُ عَنْكَ السُّوْءَ,
inf. n.
دِفَاعٌ, (tropical:) [
May God repel, or
avert, from
thee evil]. (S, TA.) And
دَفَعْتُ عَنْهُ الأَذَى (tropical:) [
I
repelled, or
averted, from him what was hurtful,
or
annoying; as also ↓
دَافَعْتُ]. (Msb, K, TA.)
Sb mentions, as a saying of the Arabs,
اِدْفَعِ الشَّرَّ
وَلَوْ إِصْبَعًا (tropical:) [
Repel thou, or
avert thou, evil, or
mischief, though but with a finger: the last word
being in the accus. case by reason of the subaudition of the prep.
ب; the meaning being
بِإِصْبَعٍ].
(TA.) [See also an ex. voce
دَفُوعٌ.] When
دَفْعٌ is made trans. by means of
عَنْ, [and has
a single objective complement, a second objective complement is understood, and in general] it
has the meaning or the act of (assumed tropical:)
Defending; as in
the Kur [xxii. 39],
إِنَّ ٱللّٰهَ يَدْفَعُ عَنْ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
(assumed tropical:) [
Verily God defendeth those who have believed;
i. e.
repelleth from them aggression and the like];
(B;) and ↓
يُدَافِعُ, in the same, (K, TA,) accord.
to another reading, signifies the same; (K, TA;)
or this latter signifies (assumed tropical:)
defendeth energetically,
with the energy of him who contendeth for superiority in so doing. (Bd.) And
دَافَعْتُ ↓
عَنْهُ signifies [also] (assumed tropical:)
I pleaded, or
contended in arguments, in defence of him. (Msb.) [Exceptions
to the statement cited above form the B will be
found in what follows in this paragraph; and
another exception, voce
مُدَفَّعٌ.] ―
2-b2- [In the exs.
which follow, the verb is used in senses little
differing, essentially, from those assigned to it in
the first sentence of this art.] ―
2-b3-
دَفَعْتُ مِنَ الإِنَآءِ
دَفَْعَةً [
I poured forth from the vessel a single
pouring]: the last word, which is with fet-h, is
an inf. n. [of un.]. (Msb.) ―
2-b4-
دَفَعَتِ اللِّبَأَفِى
ضَرْعِهَا قُبَيْلَ النِّتَاجِ (tropical:) [
She (a ewe, or goat, S, or a
camel, S, K)
infused the first milk into her
udder, i. e.
secreted it therein, a little before
bringing forth]. (S, K.) And
دَفَعَتِ اللَّبَنِ عَلَى
رَأْسِ وَلَدِهَا لِكَثْرَتِهِ (tropical:) [
She (a ewe or goat, or a
camel, TA)
secreted the milk in her udder when
about to produce her young, by reason of its
abundance]; for the milk becomes abundant in
her udder only when she is about to bring forth:
the inf. n. [app. the inf. n. of un.] is
دَفْعَةٌ. (TA.)
And
دَفَعَتْ alone, said of a ewe or goat, signifies
(assumed tropical:)
She secreted milk in her udder when about to
produce the young; expl. by
أَضْرَعَتْ عَلَى رَأْسِ
الوَلَدِ [which see in art.
ضرع]. (S, TA.) Accord.
to En-Nadr, one says
دَفَعَتْ بِلَبِنِهَا, and
بِاللَّبَنِ,
when her young is in her belly; but when she
has brought forth, one does not say
دَفَعَتْ. (TA.)
―
2-b5- In the saying,
غَشِيِتْنَا سَحَابَةٌ فَدَفَعْنَاهَا إِلَى غَيْرِنَا
[lit.
A cloud overspread us, and we drove it away
to other persons], meaning (tropical:)
it departed from us
to other persons, دفعناها is for
دَفَعَتْنَا, which
means
دُفِعَتْ عَنَّا [lit.
it was driven away from
us]. (TA.) ―
2-b6-
دَفَعَهُ بِحُجَّةٍ (assumed tropical:) [

refuted him, by an argument or
the like].

كفح.) ―
2-b7-
دَفَعْتُ القَوْلَ (assumed tropical:)
I rebutted
the saying; repelled it by an argument, an allegation, or
a proof. (Msb.) ―
2-b8-
اِدْفَعْ هٰذَا (tropical:)
Leave
thou this, sparing him. (As, TA.) [See
مُدَفَّعٌ.]
―
2-b9- [In several exs. here following, the verb
resembles
اندفع;
نَفْسَهُ, or the like, being understood after it.] ―
2-b10-
دَفَعَ المَآءُ [
The water poured
out, or
forth, as though it impelled, or
propelled,
itself]: (TA: [where it is followed by
وَٱنْصَبَّ,
as an explicative adjunct:]) and so
السَّيْلُ [
the
torrent]. (ISh.) [See also 6.] And
دَفَعَ الوَادِى
بِالمَآءِ [
The valley poured with water]. (TA in
art.

The people, or
company of men, came at once. (Msb.) ―
2-b13-

دُفِعَ إِلَيْهِ, (Msb, TA,) in the
pass. form, (Msb,) (tropical:)
He reached, or
came to, the

هٰذَا طَرِيقٌ يَدْفَعُ

This is a road which reaches to
such a place. (TA.) ―
2-b14-
دَفَعَ مِنْ عَرَفَاتٍ (assumed tropical:)
He
commenced the journey from 'Arafát, and impelled and removed himself thence, or
impelled
his she-camel, and urged her to go. (TA, from a
trad.) And
دَفَعْتُ عَنِ المَوْضِعِ (assumed tropical:)
I removed, went,
went away, or
journeyed, from the place. (Msb.)
[See again 7.] ―
2-b15-
دَفَعَ also signifies (assumed tropical:)
He returned.
(MF.) ―
2-b16- When
دَفْعٌ is made trans. by means
of
إِلَى, it [generally, but not always, as has been
shown above,] has the meaning of the act of
Giving, or
delivering; as in the Kur [iv. 5],
فَٱدْفَعُوا إِلَيْهِمْ أَمْوَالَهُمْ [
Then give ye, or
deliver ye,
to them their property]. (B.) You say,
دَفَعْتُ
إِلَىى فُلَانٍ شَيْئًا [

delivered, to such a one a
thing]. (S, K. *) And
دَفَعْتُ الوَدِيعَةَ إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا I
restored the deposit to its owner. (Msb.) And
دَفَعْتُ لَهُ قِطْعَةً مِنَ المَالِ [
I gave him a part, or
portion, of the property]. (S in art.

دَفَعَهُ
[alone]
He gave it; syn.
أَعْطَاهُ. (Er-Rághib,
MF.)
