يَضِيعُ, inf. n.
ضَيَاعٌ and
ضَيْعَةٌ (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K) and
ضَيْعٌ and
ضِيعٌ, (K,) It (a thing, S, Mgh, O, Msb) perished, came to nought,
passed away, or became lost. (S, O, Msb, K.) It is said in a trad. of
Saad,
إِِنِّى
أَخَافُ
عَلَى
الأَعْنَابِ
الضَّيْعُةَ i. e. [Verily I fear, for the grapes,] their [lit.
the] perishing, or becoming lost. (TA.) ― -b2- And
ضاع, (K, TA,) inf. n.
ضَيَاعٌ and
ضَيْعَةٌ, (TA,) It (a thing) was left; left, or let, alone;
or neglected. (K, TA.) Hence,

left untended, and unminded; and were left alone, or
neglected. (TA.) -A2-

تَضْيِيعٌ; (S;) and ↓
اضاعهُ , (O, Msb, K,) inf. n.
إِِضَاعَةٌ; (S;) both signify the same; (S, O, Msb, K;)
He made, or
caused, the thing to perish, or become lost; he destroyed it, wasted
it, or lost it. (Msb, K, TA.) Hence,
ضَيَّعُوا
فُلَانًا is used by the vulgar as meaning They beheaded such a one with
the sword. (TA.) It is said in a prov.,
الصَّيْفَ
ضَيَّعْتِ
اللَّبَنَ [In the spring, or in the summer, thou losedst the milk],
in which the
ت is with kesr when the words are addressed to a male, or to a female, or to
a pl. number, because originally addressed to a woman, the wife of a wealthy
man, whom she disliked because of his being aged, wherefore he divorced her, and
a poor man married her, and she sent to her first husband requesting a gift, and
he answered her thus; (S, O, K; *)
الصيف being in the accus. case as an adv. n.: so says Yaakoob: (S, O:) or
El-Aswad Ibn-Hurmuz divorced his wife El- ' Anood Esh-Shenneeyeh, (O, K,) of the
BenooShenn, (TA,) preferring to her a beautiful and wealthy woman of his people;
(O, K; *) then there occurred between them what led to their separation, and he
sought to obtain [again] El- ' Anood, and sent a message to her; but in replying
to him she said, “
أَنْشَأْتَ
تَطْلُبُ
وَصْلَنَا
فِى
الصَّيْفِ
ضَيَّعْتَ
اللَّبَنْ
” [Thou hast begun to seek our union: in the spring, or in the summer,
thou losedst the milk]: (O, * K:) the
ت in this case being with fet-h. (K. [See more in Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii.
197-8, or in Har p. 577; in both of which, however, and in the O,
ضيّعت is with kesr in the latter case, as in the former.]) [One says also,
ضيّع
عَهْدَهُ, meaning He broke his compact, contract, or covenant].
The phrase, in a trad.,
نَهَى
عَنْ
المَالِ ↓
إِِضَاعَةِ means He forbade the expending of wealth otherwise than in
obedience to God, and the squandering thereof, and extravagance. (TA.) ―
-b2- See also the next paragraph. 4
اضاع
الشَّىْءَ : see 2, first sentence, and last but one. ― -b2- Also, [and app. ↓
ضيّعهُ likewise, accord. to the K,] He left the thing; left it,
or let it, alone; or neglected it. (K, TA.) You say,
اضاع
عِيَالَهُ He neglected his family, or household; omitted taking
good care of them, or being mindful of them. (TA.)
وَمَا
كَانَ
اللّٰهُ
لِيُضِعَ
إِِيمَانَكُمْ, in the Kur [ii. 138], means And God will not neglect
[or make to be lost] your prayer. (TA.)
أَضَاعُوا
الصَّلَاةَ, in the same, [xix. 60,] means Who neglected, or
omitted, prayer, (Bd, TA,) altogether: (TA:) or deferred it: (Bd:)
or who performed it in other than its right time: but the first
explanation is more suitable, for the unbelievers are meant thereby. (TA.) -A2-
اضاع [is also intrans., and] may signify He found his affair to be coming
to nought. (Ham p. 33.) ― -b2- And His estates (ضِيَاعُهُ)
became wide-spread, (S, O, K,) and many, or numerous. (S,
O, Msb, K.) 5
تضيّع , said of the wind, It blew: because it [often] destroys that
upon which it blows: so says Er-Rághib. (TA. [But it may be from what here
follows.]) ― -b2- Said of musk, It diffused its odour, or fragrance:
(S, O, K;) a dial. var. of
تضوّع: (S:) or an instance of substitution [of
ى for

مَاتَ
ضِيْعًا and
ضِيَعًا: see
ضَيَاعٌ.
ضَيْعَةٌ an inf. n. of 1. (S, &c.) ― -b2- See
ضَيَاعٌ, below, last sentence but one. ― -b3- Also A single case, or
occasion, of perishing, coming to nought, passing away, or becoming

(TA.) ― -b4-
تَرَكْتُهُ
بِضَيْعَةٍ means I left him unsought-after, or unminded, or
unmissed. (TA. [See also a similar phrase voce
ضَيَاعٌ.]) -A2- Also i. q.
عَقَارٌ [meaning An estate consisting of land, or of land and a
house, or of a house or land yielding a revenue, or of a
house and palm-trees, or the like]; (S, O, Msb, K;) and
[particularly] land yielding a revenue; (K;) or with the people of the
towns and villages and cultivated lands it signifies the property, of a
man, consisting of palm-trees and grape-vines and land: but the Arabs [of
the desert] know not the word in this sense: (Az, TA:) IF says, I do not reckon
the application of this word as a name for the
عَقَار to be of the original language, but think it to be an innovation in
speech; and I have heard it said that this is termed a
ضيعة because, when frequent attention to it is neglected, it perishes; and
if it be so, this is an evidence of what we have said, that it is of the
innovated speech: (O, TA:) the dim. is ↓
ضُيَيْعَةٌ , for which one should not say
ضُوَيْعَةٌ: (S, O, K:) the pl. is
ضِيَاعٌ and
ضِيَعٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) as though the latter were a contraction of the
former, (Msb,) and
ضَيْعَاتٌ: (K:) accord. to Lth, the first of these pls. signifies places
of alighting or abode or settlement; which are thus called
because, when the paying frequent attention to them, or taking good care of
them, and the keeping them, or putting them, in a good state, or state of
repair, is neglected, they come to nought: and
ضَيْعَاتٌ occurs in a trad. as meaning the means of subsistence.
(TA.) And, (T, O, Msb, K,) as used by the Arabs [of the desert], who know not
the word in any other sense than this, (T, O,) A craft, or handicraft,
by which one gains his subsistence; a mode, or manner, of gain; or
any habitual work or occupation of a man; (T, O, Msb, K) as
the sewing of skins or boots and the like; and the
twisting of ropes; and the weaving, or plaiting, of palm-leaves;
and the culture of palm-trees (عَمَلُ
النَّخْلِ); and the pasturing of camels; and the like thereof;
(T, O;) including the sowing, or tilling, of land: (TA:) or the
ضَيْعَة of the Arabs was the management, or tending, of camels
and of sheep and goats: and the term includes a man's craft, or
handicraft, or means of gain: (Sh, O:) and his traffic: (Sh,
O, K:) one says to a man,
قُمْ
إِِلَى
ضَيْعَتِكَ [Arise to thy craft, &c.]: (Sh, O:) and
كُلُّ
رَجُلٍ
وَضَيْعَتَهُ, [Every man should occupy himself with his proper
craft, &c.] (Msb.)
أَفْشَى
اللّٰهُ,
ضَيْعَتَهُ, occurring in a trad., means God made or may God make,
his means of subsistence to be abundant. (TA.) And one says,
فَشَتْ
ضَيْعَتُهُ, [or, more commonly,
فَشَتْ
عَلَيْهِ
ضَيْعَتُهُ, as in the TA in art.
فشو, &c.,] which is said to mean His property was, or became,
large, or abundant, [or wide-spread,] so that he was unable
to collect it together: and [hence] his means of attaining his object
[or his affairs (as in the TA in art.
فشو)] became disordered so that he knew not with which of them to begin:
(TA:) or he took to doing an affair that did not concern him: (TA, and
Ham p. 33:) it is nearly like the saying
اِتَّسَعَ
الخَرْقُ
عَلَى
الرَّاقِعِ [expl. in art.
خرق]. (Ham ibid.) And
إِِنِّى
لَأَرَى
ضَيْعَةً
لَا
يُصْلِحُهَا
إِِلَّا
ضَجْعَةٌ [Verily I see property that nothing but a sleep will restore to
a right state] a prov.; said by a pastor whose camels had dispersed
themselves, and who, desiring to collect them together, and being unable to do
so, sought aid of sleep. (O.)
مَاتَ
ضِيعَةً
ذ : see the next paragraph.
ضَيَاعٌ
ذ an inf. n. of 1 [q. v.]. (S, &c.) [Hence] one says,
مَاتَ
ضَيَاعًا, as also ↓
ضِيَعًا , and ↓
ضِيْعًا , and ↓
ضِيعَةٌ , He (a man, TA) died unsought-after, or
unminded, or unmissed. (K, TA. [See also a similar phrase voce

untended, and unminded; (TA;) or such as are exposed, or liable,
to perish, (بِعَرَضِ
أَنْ
يَضِيعَ,) as young children, and those who are crippled, or
deprived of the power of motion, who cannot manage their own affairs: (Mgh:)
occurring in a trad., in which it is said that when a man died leaving such as
are thus termed, (تَرَكَ
ضَيَاعًا,) they were to be brought to the Prophet, (Mgh, O,) to be
maintained by means of the government-treasury: (Mgh:) a prefixed noun is to be
understood [i. e. it is for
عِيَالَ
ضَيَاعٍ or the like]: (Mgh:) or it is an inf. n. used as a subst. [properly
thus termed]: (Mgh, O:) or, accord. to one relation of the trad., the word is ↓
ضَيْعَةً [which is likewise an inf. n., and in this case to be expl. in
the same manner]: (Mgh:) if read
ضِيَاعًا, it would be pl. of
ضَائِعٌ. (Mgh, O.) -A2- Also A sort of perfume, or odoriferous
substance. (K.)
ضُيَيْعَةٌ
ذ dim. of

جَائِعٌ
يُلْقِى
فِى
مِعًى
ضَائِعٍ [A hungry canine tooth that throws the food into an empty
gut]. (S.)
أَضْيَعُ means

بِمَضْيَعَةٍ [He left his family, or household, in a state of
perishing, &c.]. (Mgh.) So too in the saying,
