📖 Lane's Lexicon (Root: طول)

[1] طَالَ , (S, O, Msb, K,) said by some to be of the class of قَرُبَ, being made by them to accord in from with its contr., which is قَصُرَ, and by others said to be of the class of قَالَ, (Msb,) first pers. طُلْتُ, [said to be] originally طَوُلْتُ, because one says طَوِيلٌ, [not طَائِلٌ, when using it as an intrans. v.,] (S, O,) aor. يَطُولُ, (TA,) inf. n. طُولٌ, (S, * O, * Msb, K,) It (a thing, S, O, Msb) was, or became, elongated, or extended; [i. e. it was, or became, long; and it was, or became, tall, or high; which meanings are sometimes more explicitly denoted in order to avoid ambiguity, as when one says طَالَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ it was, or became, elongated, or extended, upon the surface of the earth or ground; and طَالَ فِى السَّمَآءِ it was, or became, elongated, or extended, towards (lit. into) the sky;] (S, O, Msb, K;) and ↓ استطال signifies the same. (S, O, K.) It is also said of any time that is extended; and of anxiety that cleaves to one continually; and the like: [see طُولٌ, below:] thus one says طَالَ اللَّيْلُ [The night became long, or protracted]: (TA:) [and thus طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الأَمَدُ, in the Kur lvii. 15, means The time became extended, or prolonged, unto them:] and تَطَاوَلَ ↓ عَلَيْهِمُ العُمُرُ, in the Kur xxviii. 45, means, in like manner, [Life was prolonged unto them; or] their lives became long, or prolonged: (Jel:) and طال المَجْلِسُ The time of the assembly was, or became, extended, or prolonged: (Msb:) and طال الهَمُّ [Anxiety became protracted]. (TA.) [One says also طَالَمَا فَعَلَ كَذَا Long time did he thus; and the like; with the restrictive ما: see Har p. 17.] ＝ 1-A2- When trans. [without a particle it is of the class فَعَلَ; not فَعُلَ, because this is not trans.: (TA:) one says طُلْتُهُ meaning I exceeded him, or surpassed him, in الطُّول [i. e. tallness; or I overtopped him]: and also in الطَّوْل [i. e. beneficence, and excellence, &c.]. (S, O, K.) See 3. A poet says, إِنَّ الفَرَزْدَقَ صَخْرَةٌ عَارِيَةٌ طَالَتْ فَلَيْسَ تَنَالُهَا الأَوْعَالُ [Verily El-Farezdak is a bare rock that has exceeded in height the mountain-goats so that the mountain-goats do not reach it]: he means طَالَتِ الأَوْعَالَ. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., فَطَالَ العَبَّاسُ عُمَرَ i. e. And El-'Abbás exceeded 'Omar in tallness of stature. (TA.) And you say, طَالَهُ فِى الحَسَبِ [He excelled him in the grounds of pretension to respect or honour]. (K and TA in explanation of شَرَفَهُ: in the CK [erroneously] طاوَلَهُ.) ＝ 1-A3- One says also, طال عَلَيْهِ, (S,) or عَلَيْهِمْ, (Msb, K,) the verb in this case being of the class of قَالَ, aor. يَطُولُ, (Msb,) inf. n. طَوْلٌ; (S, * Msb;) and ↓ تطوّل; (S, Msb, K;) and ↓ اطال; (Msb;) He bestowed, or conferred, a benefit or benefits, or a favour or favours, (S, Msb, K,) upon him, (S,) or upon them. (Msb, K.) And تطوّل ↓ عَلَيْنَا بِشَىْءٍ He gave to us a thing; like تَنَوَّلَ; but the latter is said by Aboo-Mihjen to be used only in relation to good; and the former, sometimes, in relation to good and to evil.
