خَتَمَهُ , (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor.
خَتِمَ , (Msb, K,)
inf. n. خَتْمٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and خِتَامٌ, (Lh,
K, TA,) with kesr, (TA,) [in the CK, erroneously, خَتَام,] i. q. طَبَعَهُ [He sealed, stamped,
imprinted, or impressed, it]: (Msb, K:) or he
put the خَاتَم [or signet] upon it: (Mgh:) namely,
a thing, (S, Mgh,) or a writing or book and the
like: and خَتَمَ عَلَيْهِ signifies the same [or he put
a seal, or the impression of a signet, upon it].
(Msb.) Accord. to Er-Rághib, خَتْمٌ and طَبْعٌ
signify The impressing a thing with the engraving
of the signet and stamp: and the former [as is
indicated, but not plainly expressed, as distinguished from the latter,] is tropically used,
sometimes, as meaning the securing oneself from
a thing, and protecting [oneself] from it; in consideration of protection by means of sealing upon
writings and doors: and sometimes as meaning
the producing an impression, or effect, upon a
thing from another thing; in consideration of the
impress produced [by the signet]: and sometimes
it is used as relating to (assumed tropical:) the reaching the end [of
a thing]: (TA:) or the primary signification of
خَتْمٌ is the act of covering over [a thing]: (Az,
TA:) accord. to Zj, the proper meaning of خَتْمٌ
and طَبْعٌ is the covering over a thing, and securing
oneself from a thing's entering it: some say that
the former signifies the concealing a notification
of a thing, [as] by putting one's fingers over it, by
way of guarding oneself thereby. (TA.) ―
2-b2-
Hence, خَتْمُ الشَّهَادَةِ [The sealing of the testimony];
which is thus described by El-Hulwánee: the
witness, when he wrote his name upon a صَكّ
[q. v.], caused his written name to be beneath a
piece of lead, [i. e. covered it with a piece of lead,]
and put upon it the impress of his signet, in order
that there might be no falsification of it or substitution for it. (Mgh.) ―
2-b3- As to خَتْمُ الأَعْنَاقِ [The
sealing of the necks], the case is related, in the
“Risáleh Yoosufeeyeh,” to have been this:
'Omar sent Ibn-Honeyf to seal the عُلُوج [or unbelievers] of the Sawád; and he sealed five
hundred thousand of them, in classes; that is, he
marked them twelve dirhems, and twenty-four,
and forty-eight; tying a thong upon the neck of
each, and putting upon the knot a seal of lead.
(Mgh.) ―
2-b4- خَتْمٌ also signifies The protecting what
is in a writing by marking [or stamping] a piece
of clay [upon it, or by means of a seal of any
kind]. (TA.) ―
2-b5- And you say, of a man, خَتَمَ
عَلَيْكَ بَابَهُ [He sealed his door against thee];
meaning (tropical:) he turned away from thee, avoided thee,
or shunned thee. (TA.) ―
2-b6- And خَتَمَ لَكَ بَابَهُ
[He sealed for thee his door]; meaning (tropical:) he preferred thee to others. (TA.) ―
2-b7- خَتَمَ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ
[which may be rendered He sealed his heart]
means (tropical:) he made him to be such that he understood
not, and such that nothing proceeded from him;
or he made his heart, or mind, to be such that it
understood not, &c. (K, TA.) خَتَمَ ٱللّٰهُ عَلَى
قُلُوبِهِمْ, in the Kur [ii. 6], is like the phrase in
the same [xvi. 110 and xlvii. 18] طَبَعَ ٱللّٰهُ عَلَى
قُلُوبِهِمْ: (TA:) it points to what God has made
to be usually the case when a man has ended in
believing what is false and in committing that
which is forbidden, so that he turns not his face to
the truth; this occasioning, as its result, his becoming inured to the approval of acts of disobedience, so that he is as though this habit were
impressed upon his heart: the assertion of ElJubbáee, that it means God hath put a seal upon
their hearts, as a sign, to the angels, of their
infidelity, is nought: (Er-Rághib, TA:) الخَتْمُ
is explained by IAar as meaning the preventing
of the heart from believing. (L in art. خدع.)
[See also طَبَعَ.] ―
2-b8- خَتَمَ الشَّىْءَ, inf. n. خَتْمٌ, also
signifies [as indicated above] (assumed tropical:) He reached the
end of the thing. (K.) And اِخْتَتَمْتُ ↓ الشَّىْءَ
(assumed tropical:) [I ended, or finished, the thing,] contr. of
اِفْتَتَحْتُهُ. (S, TA.) You say, خَتَمَ القُرْآنَ (assumed tropical:) He
reached the end of the Kur-án [in reciting it];
(S, Er-Rághib;) [he recited the whole of the
Kur-án;] he completed [the recital of] the Kur-
án: (Mgh:) [and] he retained in his memory the
last portion of the Kur-án; meaning he retained
the whole of it in his memory. (Msb.) It is said
of Suleymán El-Aamash, كَانَ يَقْرَأُ خَتْمًا, meaning
(assumed tropical:) He used to recite the whole of the Kur-án; at
one time, according to the reading of Ibn-Mes'ood;
at another time, from the edition of 'Othmán.
(Mgh.) ―
2-b9- You say also, خَتَمَ ٱللّٰهُ لَهُ بِخَيْرٍ (assumed tropical:) [May
God make his end to be good]. (S.) ―
2-b10- خَتَمَ البَذْرَ
(assumed tropical:) He covered over the sown seed: (Az, TA:) or
خَتَمُوا عَلَى البَذْرِ (assumed tropical:) they turned up the earth over
the sown seed, and then watered it: (Et-Táïfee,
TA:) or خَتَمَ الزَّرْعَ, (JK, K, TA,) aor.
خَتِمَ , inf. n.
خَتْمٌ, (TA,) (tropical:) he watered the seed-produce, or
sown field, the first time; (JK, K, TA;) because,
when it is watered, it is finished (خُتِمَ) with the
رحا [app. رَحَا, which here seems to mean the
“roller,” as being likened to a mill-stone, though
I find no authority for this meaning]; (TA;) as
also خَتَمَ عَلَيْهِ: (K:) or خَتَمُوا عَلَى زُرُوعِهِمْ
means (assumed tropical:) they watered their sown fields while these
were as yet كِرَاب [app. meaning clear of vegetation]. (JK, TA.) ―
2-b11- خَتَمَ النَّحْلُ (tropical:) The bees
filled with honey the place in which they deposited
it: (JK, A, TA:) or خَتْمٌ signifies bees' collecting
some thin wax, thinner than the wax of the comb,
and smearing with it the orifices of their خَلَايَا
[or hives]. (M, K, TA.)
