[1]
فَتَنَهُ , (T, S, M, &c.,) aor.
فَتِنَ , (M,) inf. n.
فَتْنٌ, (S, M, K,) [and quasi-inf. n., in this and
other senses,
فِتْنَةٌ,]
He burned it (T, * S, * M, K *)
in the fire. (M.) Hence, [in the Kur li. 13,]
يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ (T, * S, M, K *) i. e. [
The
day, or
on the day, accord. to two different readings, (
يَوْمُ and
يَوْمَ, the latter of which is the
more common,)]
when they shall be burned (T,
S, M, K)
with the fire [of Hell]. (T.) And [in
the Kur lxxxv. 10,]
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ Verily they who burned the believing
men and the believing women (T, S *) in the fire
kindled in the trench, or pit; throwing them
therein. (T.) This is said to be the primary signification of the verb. (TA.) ―
2-b2- And
He melted
it with fire, (T,) or
put it into the fire, (S, Msb,)
namely, gold, (T, S, Msb,) and silver,
in order
to separate, or
distinguish, (T, Msb,)
the bad from
the good, (T,) or
the good from the bad, (Msb,)
or
to see what was its [
degree of]
goodness. (S.)
―
2-b3- And hence, accord. to Er-Rághib,
الفَتْنُ is
used as meaning
The causing a man
to enter into
fire [app.
by way of trial, or
probation], and [
in
like manner]
into a state of punishment, or
affliction: (TA:) [and it is also used as meaning
the
slaying another; whence, in the Kur iv. 102,]
إِنْ
خِفْتُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا means [
If ye fear
that those who have disbelieved]
may slay you;
and in like manner in the Chapter of Yoonus [i. e.
in x. 83],
أَنْ يَفْتِنَهُمْ means
ان يَقْتُلَهُمْ. (T. [In
the TA, these two exs. are misplaced, or something has been omitted before them by a copyist.])
―
2-b4- [Hence also,] one says,
فَتَنَهُ, aor.
فَتِنَ , (K, TA,)
inf. n.
فَتْنٌ, (TA,)
He, or
it, caused him to fall
into الفِتْنَة; (K, TA;) i. e.
trial; and
affliction,
distress, or
hardship; [generally meaning
an
affliction whereby some good or evil quality is put
to the test;] (TA;) as also ↓
اِفْتَتَنَهُ; and ↓
فتّنهُ;
(K, TA;) but this, of which the inf. n. is
تَفْتِينٌ,
has an intensive signification; (S;) and ↓
أَفْتَنَهُ;
(K, TA;) which last is rare, or rather, accord.
to As, [though app. not in this sense, but in
another, to be mentioned in what follows,] is not
allowable: (TA:) the first of these verbs is trans.
and intrans.: (S, K, TA:) you say also,
فَتَنَ,
(AZ, T, S, K, TA,) aor.
فَتِنَ , (AZ, T, K,) inf. n.
فُتُونٌ, (AZ, T, S, TA,)
He fell into فِتْنَة [i. e.
trial, or
affliction, &c.]; (AZ, T, K;) as also
↓
اِفْتَتَنَ: (K:) or the former signifies
he shifted
from a good, to an evil, state or
condition: or,
accord. to En-Nadr, one says ↓
اِفْتَتَنَ and
اُفْتُتِنَ,
both meaning the same; and this is correct; but
فَتَنَ as quasi-pass. of
فَتَنْتُهُ [i. e. as intrans.] is of
weak authority: (T:) and ↓
اُفْتُتِنَ, said of a man,
[as also
اِفْتَتَنَ,] and
فُتِنَ, signify the same, (S,
M,) accord. to AZ, (M,) i. e.
he was smitten by
a فِتْنَة [or
trial, &c.,]
so that his wealth, or
property, or
his intellect, departed: and likewise
he
was tried, or
tested: (S:) and accord. to AZ,
one says, of a man, ↓
أُفْتِنَ, [if not a mistranscription for
اُفْتُتِنَ, as above,] with damm,
meaning
فُتِنَ: (TA:) [and
فَتَنَهُ has
فُتُونٌ also as
an inf. n.:] it is said in the Kur [xx. 41],
وَفَتَنَّاكَ
فُتُونًا (S) i. e.
And we tried thee with a [
severe]
trying: or the noun in this instance is pl. of
فَتْنٌ;
or of
فِتْنَةٌ, formed by disregard of the
ة, like
حُجُوزٌ
and
بُدُورٌ which are [said to be] pls. of
حُجْزَةٌ and
بَدْرَةٌ; so that the
meaning is, we tried thee with
several sorts of trying: (Bd:) or, as some say,
and we purified thee with a [
thorough or
an effectual]
purifying [
like that of gold, or
silver, by
means of fire]: (TA:) [in many instances]
فَتَنَهُ,
aor.
فَتِنَ , [inf. n.
فَتْنٌ,] signifies
He tried, or
tested,
him; whence, in the Kur ix. 127,
يُفْتَنُونَ means
They are tried, or
tested, by being summoned to
war, against unbelievers or the like; or, as some
say, by the infliction of punishment or of some
evil thing. (M.)
فَتَنْتُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ, in the Kur
[lvii. 13], means
Ye caused yourselves to fall into
trial and punishment. (TA.) And
وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ,
in the Kur xxix. 1, is expl. as meaning
While they
are not tried in their persons and their possessions
so that he who has true faith may be known from
others by his patient endurance of trial. (T.)
And the saying, in a trad.,
إِنَّكُمْ تُفْتَنُونَ فِى القُبُورِ
means [
Verily ye shall be tried, or
tested, in the
graves by]
the questioning of [
the two angels]
Munkar and Nekeer. (TA.) [See also
مَفْتُونٌ,
which is said to be an inf. n., and syn. with
فِتْنَةٌ,
meaning
خِبْرَةٌ, or with
فُتُونٌ (mentioned above as
an inf. n. of the intrans. v.
فَتَنَ), meaning
جُنُونٌ; as well as a pass. part. n.] ―
2-b5- And
فَتَنَهٌ,
(M, TA,) inf. n.
فَتْنٌ, (TA, [or perhaps
فُتُونٌ, as
in the next following sentence]) also signifies
He made him (a man, M)
to turn from, or
quit,
(M, TA,)
the predicament in which he was, (M,)
or
the right course: (TA:) whence, in the Kur
[xvii. 75],
وَإِنْ كَادُوا لَيَفْتِنُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلَّذِى أَوْحَيْنَا
إِلَيْكَ (M, TA) i. e. [
And verily they were near to]
their making thee to turn [
from that which we
had revealed to thee]: thus this saying has been
explained. (TA.) [And
He, or
it, seduced him;
or
tempted him: thus it may often be well rendered, agreeably with what next precedes and
what next follows, and with explanations of its
act. part. n. and of
فِتْنَةٌ.] And one says,
فَتَنَ
المَالُ النَّاسَ, aor.
فَتِنَ , inf. n.
فُتُونٌ, [or perhaps
فَتْنٌ,
as in the next preceding sentence,] meaning
Wealth, or
property, inclined, or
attracted, to it,
men, or
mankind: and
فُتِنَ فِى دِينِهِ and ↓
اُفْتُتِنَ,
both in the pass. form,
He declined [or
was made
to decline]
from [
the right way in]
his religion.
(Msb.) And
فَتَنَهُ, aor,
فَتِنَ , inf. n.
فَتْنٌ and
فُتُونٌ,
(M, K,)
He, or
it induced in him admiration,
or
pleasure; (M, * K, * TA;) as also ↓
أَفْتَنَهُ [respecting which see what here follows]: (M, K:)
and one says, of a woman,
فَتَنَتْهُ, (T, S,) meaning
[
She enamoured him; or
captivated his heart;
i. e.]
she bereaved him of his heart, or
reason,
(
دَلَّهَتْهُ, [thus in several copies of the S, in one of
my copies
بَلَّهَتْهُ,]
and [
so affected him that]
he
loved her; (S;) as also ↓
أَفْتَنَتْهُ; (T, S;) the
former of the dial. of El-Hijáz, and the latter of
the dial. of Nejd; (T, S; *) but ↓
افتنتهُ, (T, S,)
or
افتنهُ, (M,) was disallowed by As, (T, S, M,)
and he paid no regard to a verse mentioned to
him as an ex. thereof, (T,) [or] he ignored a
verse cited to him as an ex. of the pass. part. n.
from an
أُرْجُوزَة of Ru-beh, not knowing it therein;
(M;) most of the lexicologists, however, allow
both: (T:) Sb says that
فَتَنَهُ signifies
he put [or
occasioned]
in him فِتْنَة; and ↓
افتنهُ,
he caused
الفِتْنَة to come to him [or
to affect him]; (M;)
or he said that the latter means
he made him to
be فَاتِن: (TA voce
حَزَنَهُ:) and one says also, of
a man,
فُتِنَ بٱلْمَرْأَةِ and ↓
اُفْتُتِنَ [both meaning
He
was enamoured by the woman]. (T.) ―
2-b6- And
one says also, of a man,
فَتَنَ, aor.
فَتِنَ , inf. n.
فُتُونٌ,
meaning
He desired الفُجُور [i. e.
the committing of
adultery or
fornication]: (AZ, TA:) or
فَتَنَ إِلَى
النِّسَآءِ, inf. n.
فُتُونٌ,
he desired الفُجُور (T, M, K,
TA)
with women or
the women; as also
فُتِنَ إِلَيْهِنَّ.
(M, K, TA.)
