(M.) ― 2-b2- [Hence,] مَسَّهَا, (M, A, Msb,) first pers. مَسِسْتُهَا, aor. يَمَسُّهَا, (Msb,) inf. n. مَسٌّ and مَسِيسٌ, (Mgh, Msb,) (tropical:) Inivit eam; scil. mulierem; (M, A, Msb;) as also ↓ مَاسَّهَا, (M, A, Msb,) inf. n. مُمَاسَّةٌ (S, Msb) and مِسَاسٌ: (Msb:) the former is used in this sense in several places in the Kur, and is said by some to be preferable to the latter: (TA:) and تَمَاسٌّ is also used metonymically for [the coming together, in the sense of] مُبَاضَعَةٌ, as well as مُمَاسَّةٌ. (S.) ― 2-b3- مَسَّ المَآءُ الجَسَدَ, inf. n. مَسٌّ, (tropical:) The water wetted the body. (Msb.) ― 2-b4- مَسَّ also signifies (tropical:) He, or it, struck, or smote; because striking, or smiting, like touching, is with the hand. (TA.) You say, مَسَّهُ بِالسَّوْطِ (tropical:) He struck him with the whip]. (A.) ― 2-b5- And it is said of anything annoying or hurtful that befals a man. Thus in the Kur, [ii. 74, and iii. 23,] لَنْ تَمَسَّنَا النَّارُ (tropical:) [The fire of hell will not smite us; or here it may be rendered touch us]. And [ii. 210,] مَسَّتْهُمُ البَأْسَآءُ [Distress, or misfortune, smote, or afflicted, or befell, them]. And in other instances; all which are similar to the saying in the same, ذُوقُوا مَسَّ سَقَرَ. (TA.) [See مَسٌّ below.] You say also, مَسَّهُ المَرَضُ (tropical:) [Sickness smote him, or befell him]: and مَسَّهُ العَذَابُ (tropical:) [Punishment befell him]: and مَسَّهُ الكِبَرُ (tropical:) [Old age came upon him]. (A.) And مَسَّتْهُ الجِنُّ (tropical:) [lit. The jinn, or genii touched him; meaning, affected him with madness, or insanity]: (TA:) [whence,] مُسَّ, [in the TA, مُسَّ بِهِ, app. meaning, from what immediately precedes, مُسَّ بِالجُنُونِ, inf. n. مَسٌّ,] He was, or became, [touched with madness, or insanity: or] mad, or insane: (K:) as though the jinn had touched him. (TA.) And مَسَّهُ بِعَذَابٍ (tropical:) He punished him. (TA, from a trad.) ― 2-b6- [Hence, app.,] مَسَّتْ إِلَيْهِ الحَاجَةُ, (S, K,) inf. n. [مَسٌّ and] مَسِيسٌ, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) [which seems to signify either The want of him, or it, was difficult of accomplishment, or distressing; or the want was difficult of accomplishment, or distressing, to him]. (S, K,. [In both these lexicons, the meaning is left to be inferred only from the fact that this phrase immediately follows the explanation of حَاجَةٌ مَاسَّةٌ, q. v.]) ― 2-b7- [مَسَّ is also said of what is good, as well as of what is evil; as in the following instance:] مَسَّتْهُ مَوَاسُّ الخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ (tropical:) [The haps of good fortune, and of evil,] happened to him, or betided him. (TA.) ― 2-b8- [As touching implies proximity,] مَسَّتْ بِكَ رَحِمُ فُلَانٍ signifies (tropical:) The relationship of such a one is near to you. (S, K, * TA.) ― 2-b9- And as مَسَّ originally signifies “ he touched or felt with the hand, ” it is used metaphorically as meaning (tropical:) He took a thing; as, for instance, (in a trad.,) water from a مِيضَأَة. (TA.) ＝ 1-A2- مَسَّ is made doubly trans. by means of the prep. بِ prefixed to the second objective complement. (Msb.) See 4, in two places.
