Why this shape?What each of the 18 patterns does

What each pattern does. The pattern gives a tendency, not a rule: many words have drifted into meanings of their own.

The pattern machinePour the root into a pattern; see whether the word exists

Choose a pattern; the root's letters pour into it. Then see whether the word exists in our sources. The machine makes shapes; only usage makes words.

مَفْعَلَةح ق قمَحْقَقَة

Not in our sources. A possible shape, not a word we can show: the Quran, the library and Lane do not have it for this root.

Place noun with -a. The place noun with the feminine -a. Sometimes it is only a variant of mafʿal; often it names the place where a thing is found in abundance (maʾsada, 'a place full of lions'). So maktab is the place of writing, and maktaba, where writings are gathered: a library, a bookshop. Our summary

But: maktaba is not in our classical dictionaries for k-t-b: Lane and al-Jawharī give maktab ('a school'), none gives maktaba. Its sense of 'library, bookshop' fits the pattern of abundance, but that is our reading of the pattern, not a classical entry. Many mafʿala words are single items of usage (maqbara 'cemetery'), which the grammarians call heard, not formed by rule.

The grammarians on this pattern (4)
  • ما يكون مفعلة لازمة لها الهاء والفتحة … وذلك إذا أردت أن تكثر الشيء بالمكان، وذلك قولك: أرض مسبعة، ومأسدة

    Chapter on what is mafʿala, with the -a and the a-vowel always: that is when you mean that a thing abounds in a place, as you say 'a land of many beasts of prey (masbaʿa), of many lions (maʾsada)'

This root has a weak or doubled letter, so real words change shape (qāla → qāʾil, not qāwil); the machine pours the letters in as they are, and matches attested words by their regular pattern.

About thisWhat “attested” means here; the sources

Attested means found in our data: the Quranic Arabic Corpus (lemmas, verb Forms, participles, verbal nouns, plurals), the library's words (automatic analysis), Lane's Lexicon (his headwords, the Forms he numbers, the verbal nouns and plurals he names) and Ibn Fāris's entry. Nothing is generated for this list. Meanings are Lane's first gloss in his entry, or else the analyser's gloss (“auto”). Vowelling follows the corpus, then Lane, then the analyser; verbs are given in the regular perfect. Lane's Lexicon thins out after qāf, and a few of his entries cover several roots at once: those roots show no Lane. The patterns, written with ف ع ل, are computed by us.

  • al-Khalīl · 170Al-ḥaqq (الحق) is the opposite of al-bāṭil.

    al-Khalīl b. Aḥmad (d. c. 170/786), Kitāb al-ʿAyn. The first Arabic dictionary, arranged by permutations of the root letters.

    Al-ḥaqq (الحق) is the opposite of al-bāṭil. 'Ḥaqqa al-shay'u yaḥiqqu ḥaqqan' (حق الشيء يحق حقا) means it became obligatory (wajaba wujūban). You say: 'yaḥiqqu 'alayka an taf'ala kadhā' (يحق عليك أن تفعل كذا) [it is incumbent on you to do such], and 'anta ḥaqīqun 'alā an taf'alahu' (أنت حقيق على أن تفعله). Ḥaqīq (حقيق) is [the pattern] fa'īl in the position of a passive participle (maf'ūl). The saying of God Almighty: 'ḥaqīqun 'alā an lā aqūla' (حقيق على أن لا أقول) means maḥqūq (محقوق), as one says 'wājib' (واجب, obligatory). Every passive participle reduced to the pattern fa'īl has masculine and feminine alike without the tā', so you say to a woman: 'anti ḥaqīqatun li-dhālika' (أنت حقيقة لذلك) and 'anti maḥqūqatun an taf'alī dhālika' (أنت محقوقة أن تفعلي ذلك). Al-A'shā said: "Worthy is she (la-maḥqūqatun) to answer his call, and to know that the one cared for is fortunate..." Al-ḥiqqa (الحقة) derives from al-ḥaqq, as if it were more emphatically obligatory and more specific; you say 'hādhihi ḥiqqatī' (هذه حقتي) meaning 'my right.' [It is said]: 'wa-ḥaqquhu laysat bi-qawli al-tarhati' (وحقه ليست بقول الترهة) [his right is not mere idle talk]. Al-ḥaqīqa (الحقيقة) is that to which the rightful due of a matter ultimately amounts. 'Balaghtu ḥaqīqata hādhā' (بلغت حقيقة هذا) means 'the certain truth of its case.' In the ḥadīth: 'None of you attains the ḥaqīqa (reality) of faith until he does not fault a Muslim for a fault present in himself.' Ḥaqīqat al-rajul (حقيقة الرجل) is what is incumbent upon him to defend of his kin; plural ḥaqā'iq (حقائق). You say 'aḥaqqa al-rajulu' (أحق الرجل) when he speaks truthfully and makes a claim that becomes established and confirmed for him, like saying he spoke truly and said this is the truth. You say 'mā kāna yaḥiqquka an taf'ala kadhā' (ما كان يحقك أن تفعل كذا) meaning 'it was not incumbent on you.' Al-ḥāqqa (الحاقة) is the calamity that has become certain, so that there is no denying it. It is said of one who disputes over trifles: 'innahu la-naziqu al-ḥiqāq' (إنه لنزق الحقاق). In the ḥadīth: 'matā mā yaghlū yaḥtaqqū' (متى ما يغلوا يحتقوا), meaning each claims the right is on his side; and 'yaghlū' means they go to excess in their religion and dispute and argue. Al-ḥaqq (الحق) [also denotes] a camel one year younger than jadha' (جذع), that being when it becomes fit to be ridden; the female is ḥiqqa (حقة) when fit for the stallion; plural ḥiqāq and ḥaqā'iq. 'Adī said: 'lā ḥiqqatun hunna wa-lā yanūbu' (لا حقة هن ولا ينوب). Al-A'shā said: 'yā qawmi qawmī idhā 'azzat al-khamru wa-qāmat ziqāquhum wa-al-ḥiqāqu' [O my people, my people, when wine grows scarce and their skins and the ḥiqāq rise]. The [other] transmission is 'qāmat ḥiqāquhum wa-al-ziqāqu'; so whoever transmits 'qāmat ziqāquhum wa-al-ḥiqāqu' [reverses the order].

    الحق نقيض الباطل. حق الشيء يحق حقا أي وجب وجوبا. وتقول: يحق عليك أن تفعل كذا، وأنت حقيق على أن تفعله. وحقيق فعيل في موضع مفعول. وقول الله عز وجل «1» - حقيق على أن لا أقول «2» معناه محقوق كما تقول: واجب. وكل مفعول رد إلى فعيل فمذكره ومؤنثه بغير الهاء، وتقول للمرأة: أنت حقيقة لذلك، وأنت محقوقة أن تفعلي ذلك، قال الأعشى: لمحقوقة أن تستجيبي لصوته ... وأن تعلمي أن المعان موفق «3» والحقة من الحق كأنها أوجب وأخص. تقول: هذه حقتي أي حقي. قال: وحقه ليست بقول الترهة. والحقيقة: ما يصير إليه حق الأمر ووجوبه. وبلغت حقيقة هذا: أي يقين شأنه. وفي الحديث: لا يبلغ أحدكم حقيقة الإيمان حتى لا يعيب على مسلم «4» بعيب هو فيه. وحقيقة الرجل: ما لزمه الدفاع عنه من أهل بيته، والجميع حقائق. وتقول: أحق الرجل إذا قال حقا وادعى حقا فوجب له وحقق، كقولك: صدق وقال هذا هو الحق. وتقول: ما كان يحقك أن تفعل كذا أي ما حق لك. والحاقة: النازلة التي حقت فلا كاذبة لها. وتقول للرجل إذا خاصم في صغار الأشياء: إنه لنزق الحقاق. وفي الحديث: متى ما يغلوا يحتقوا أي يدعي كل واحد أن الحق في يديه، ويغلوا أي يسرفوا في دينهم ويختصموا ويتجادلوا. والحق: دون الجذع من الإبل بسنة، وذلك حين يستحق للركوب، والأنثى حقة: إذا استحقت الفحل، وجمعه حقاق وحقائق، قال عدي: لا حقة هن ولا ينوب «1» وقال الأعشى «2» أي قوم قومي إذا عزت الخمر ... وقامت زقاقهم والحقاق والرواية: قامت حقاقهم والزقاق فمن رواه: قامت زقاقهم والحقاق

  • al-Jawharī · 393Al-ḥaqq (الحق): the opposite of al-bāṭil.

    al-Jawharī (d. c. 393/1003), al-Ṣiḥāḥ. Admits only usage he judged sound.

    Al-ḥaqq (الحق): the opposite of al-bāṭil. Al-ḥaqq: one of the ḥuqūq (rights). Al-ḥiqqa (الحقة) is more specific than it; you say 'hādhihi ḥiqqatī' (هذه حقتي) meaning 'my ḥaqq.' Al-ḥiqqa also [means] the true reality of a matter; it is said 'lammā 'arafa al-ḥiqqata minnī haraba' (لما عرف الحقة مني هرب) [when he recognized the truth from me, he fled]. Their saying 'la-ḥaqqu lā ātīka' (لحق لا آتيك) is an oath of the Arabs which they raise without tanwīn when it comes after the lām; and when they remove the lām they say 'ḥaqqan lā ātīka' (حقا لا آتيك). Their saying 'kāna dhālika 'inda ḥaqqi liqāḥihā' (كان ذاك عند حق لقاحها) — also with kasra, 'ḥiqqi liqāḥihā' — means 'at the time that was confirmed in her [i.e., conception].' Al-ḥuqqa (الحقة) with ḍamma [a casket] is well known, plural ḥuqq, ḥuqaq, ḥiqāq. Al-ḥiqq (الحق) with kasra is a camel that has completed three years and entered the fourth; the female is ḥiqqa and also ḥiqq, so named because of its fitness to be loaded and put to use; one says 'huwa ḥiqqun bayyinu al-ḥiqqati' (هو حق بين الحقة), al-ḥiqqa here being a verbal noun. Al-A'shā said: 'bi-ḥiqqihā rubiṭat fī al-lujayni ḥattā al-sadīsi lahā asan' [by her ḥiqq-age she was tied among silver ornaments until her sadīs tooth had grown], plural ḥiqāq and ḥiqaq. He did not mean by 'bi-ḥiqqatihā' a description of her, since one does not say that as one says 'bi-jadha'atihā fa'ala bihā kadhā', nor 'bi-thaniyyatihā', nor 'bi-bāzilihā'; nor did he mean by 'asan' that she grew old, for one does not say 'asanna al-sinnu' [the tooth aged], but rather 'asanna al-rajulu' and 'asannat al-mar'atu'; rather he meant she was tied among the silver ornaments during the time she was a ḥiqqa, until her sadīs tooth sprouted, i.e., grew. The plural of al-ḥiqāq is ḥiqaq, like kitāb/kutub. From this is the saying of al-Musayyab ibn 'Alas: 'qad nālanī minhum 'alā 'adamin mithla al-fasīli ṣighāruhā al-ḥiqaqu' [I was afflicted by them, despite scarcity, like the young palm-shoots, their small ones the ḥiqaq]. It may also be pluralized as ḥaqā'iq, like ifāl/afā'il. The rajaz poet said: 'wa-masadin amarra min ayāniqin lasna bi-anyābin wa-lā ḥaqā'iqi' [and a rope twisted tighter than young she-camels, neither fanged nor ḥiqāq-aged]. Al-Aṣma'ī said: if the she-camel passes the year without giving birth, it is said 'she has passed the ḥiqq' (jāzat al-ḥiqqa). 'Atat al-nāqatu 'alā ḥiqqihā' (أتت الناقة على حقها) means the time she was covered the previous year. 'Saqaṭa fulānun 'alā ḥāqqi ra'sihi' (سقط فلان على حاق رأسه) means on the very crown of his head. 'Ji'tuhu fī ḥāqqi al-shitā'i' (جئته في حاق الشتاء) means in the very middle of winter. Al-ḥāqqa (الحاقة) is the Resurrection, named so because in it are the ḥawāqq al-umūr [the certainties of all matters]. 'Ḥāqahu' (حاقه) means he disputed with him, each claiming the right; and if one overcame the other, it is said 'ḥaqqahu' (حقه). It is said of one who disputes over trifles: 'innahu la-naziqu al-ḥiqāq' (إنه لنزق الحقاق). It is said 'mā lahu fīhi ḥaqqun wa-lā ḥiqāqun' (ما له فيه حق ولا حقاق) meaning 'no dispute.' Al-taḥāqq (التحاق) is mutual disputation; al-iḥtiqāq (الاحتقاق) is mutual disputation. You say 'iḥtaqqa fulānun wa-fulānun' (احتق فلان وفلان) — it is not said of one alone, just as 'ikhtaṣama' is not said of one without the other. 'Iḥtaqqa al-farasu' (احتق الفرس) means he became lean/fit. 'Ṭa'natun...' [entry continues]

    . الحق: خلاف الباطل. والحق: واحد الحقوق. والحقة أخص منه. يقال: هذه حقتي، أي حقي. والحقة أيضا: حقيقة الأمر. يقال: لما عرف الحقة مني هرب. وقولهم: " لحق لا آتيك "، هو يمين للعرب يرفعونها بغير تنوين إذا جاءت بعد اللام، وإذا أزالوا عنها اللام قالوا: حقا لا آتيك. وقولهم: كان ذاك عند حق لقاحها وحق لقاحها أيضا بالكسر، أي حين ثبت ذلك فيها. والحقة بالضم معروفة، والجمع حق وحقق وحقاق. والحق بالكسر: ما كان من الإبل ابن ثلاث سنين وقد دخل في الرابعة، والأنثى حقة وحق أيضا، سمى بذلك لا ستحقاقه أن يحمل عليه وأن ينتفع به. يقول: هو حق بين الحقة. وهو مصدر. قال الاعشى بحقها ربطت (1) في اللجين حتى السديس لها أسن والجمع حقاق وحقق. ولم يرد بحقتها صفة لها، لانه لا يقال ذلك كما يقال بجذعتها فعل بها كذا، ولا بثنيتها ولا ببازلها. ولا أراد بقوله أسن كبر، لانه لا يقال أسن السن، وإنما يقال أسن الرجل وأسنت المرأة: وإنما أراد أنها ربطت في اللجين وقتا كانت فيه حقة، إلى أن نجم سديسها أي نبت. وجمع الحقاق حقق، مثال كتاب وكتب. ومنه قول المسيب بن علس: قد نالني منهم على عدم مثل الفسيل صغارها الحقق وربما جمع على حقائق مثل إفال وأفائل. قال الراجز: ومسد أمر من أيانق لسن بأنياب ولا حقائق قال الاصمعي: إذا جازت الناقة السنة ولم تلد قيل: قد جازت الحق. وأتت الناقة على حقها، أي الوقت الذى ضربت فيه عام أول. وسقط فلان على حاق رأسه، أي وسط رأسه. وجئته في حاق الشتاء، أي في وسطه. والحاقة: القيامة، سميت بذلك لأن فيها حواق الأمور. وحاقه، أي خاصمه وادعى كل واحد منهما الحق، فإذا غلبه قيل: حقه. ويقال للرجل إذا خاصم في صغار الاشياء: " إنه لنزق الحقاق ". ويقال: ما له فيه حق ولا حقاق، أي خصومة. والتحاق: التخاصم. والاحتقاق: الاختصام. وتقول: احتق فلان وفلان، ولا يقال للواحد، كما لا يقال اختصم للواحد. دون الآخر. واحتق الفرس، أي ضمر. وطعنة محتقة، أي لا زيغ فيها وقد نفذت. ويقال رمى فلان الصيد فاحتق بعضا وشرم بعضا، أي قتل بعضا وأفلت بعض جريحا. ومنه قول الشاعر: (1) * من بين محتق لها ومشرم (2) * وحققت حذره أحقه حقا، وأحققته أيضا، إذا فعلت ما كان يحذره. ويقال أيضا: حققت الرجل، وأحققته، إذا أثبته، حكاه أبو عبيد. قال: وحققت الأمر وأحققته أيضا، إذا تحققته وصرت منه على يقين. قال الكسائي: يقال حق لك أن تفعل هذا، وحققت أن تفعل هذا، بمعنى. وحق له أن يفعل كذا، وهو حقيق أن يفعل كذا، وهو حقيق به، ومحقوق به، أي خليق له، والجمع أحقاء ومحقوقون. وحق الشئ يحق بالكسر، أي وجب. وأحققت الشئ، أي أوجبته. واستحققته، أي استوجبته. وتحقق عنده الخبر، أي صح. وحققت قوله وظنه تحقيقا، أي صدقت. وكلام محقق، أي رصين. قال الراجز: دع ذا وحبر منطقا محققا * وثوب محقق، إذا كان محكم النسج. قال الراجز (1) : تسربل جلد وجه أبيك إنا كفيناك المحققة الرقاقا والحقيقة: خلاف المجاز. والحقيقة: ما يحق على الرجل أن يحميه. وفلان حامي الحقيقة. ويقال: الحقيقة: الراية. قال عامر بن الطفيل: أنا الفارس الحامى حقيقة جعفر (2) * والاحق من الخيل: الذي لا يعرق. أنشد أبو عمرو لرجل من الانصار (1) : وأقدر مشرف الصهوات ساط كميت لاأحق ولا شئيت (2) وقال الاصمعي في تفسير هذا البيت: الاقدر الذى يجوز حافرا رجليه حافرى يديه. والشئيت: الذى يقصر حافرا رجليه عن حافرى يديه. والاحق: الذى يطبق حافرا رجليه حافرى يديه ومصدره الحقق. والحقحقة: أرفع السير وأتعبه للظهر. وفي الحديث أن مطرف بن عبد الله بن الشخير قال لابنه لمت اجتهد في العبادة: " خير الامور أو ساطها والحسنة بين السيئتين، وشر السير الحقح …

  • Ibn Fāris · 395Ḥā' and qāf form one root indicating the soundness and correctness of a thing (iḥkām al-shay' wa-ṣiḥḥatuhu).

    Ibn Fāris (d. 395/1004), Maqāyīs al-Lugha. Seeks each root's original sense (aṣl).

    Ḥā' and qāf form one root indicating the soundness and correctness of a thing (iḥkām al-shay' wa-ṣiḥḥatuhu). Ḥaqq (الحق) is the opposite of bāṭil (الباطل, falsehood); then every branch [meaning] returns to this by good derivation and proper correspondence. It is said 'ḥaqqa al-shay'' (حق الشيء) meaning it became obligatory. Al-Kisā'ī said: the Arabs say 'innaka la-ta'rifu al-ḥiqqata 'alayka wa-tu'fā bimā ladayka' (إنك لتعرف الحقة عليك وتعفى بما لديك) [you well know the claim/due against you, yet are excused because of what you have]; and they say 'lammā 'arafa al-ḥiqqata minnī inkasara' (لما عرف الحقة مني انكسر) [when he recognized the just claim from me, he was broken/defeated]. It is said 'ḥāqqa fulānun fulānan' (حاق فلان فلانا) when each of the two claims [a right]; and when one overcomes the other regarding the right, it is said 'ḥaqqahu' (حقه) and 'aḥaqqahu' (أحقه). 'Iḥtaqqa al-nāsu fī al-dīn' (احتق الناس في الدين) means each claims to have the right in religion. In the ḥadīth of 'Alī, peace be upon him: 'If women reach naṣṣ al-ḥiqāq (نص الحقاق) then the paternal kin (al-'aṣaba) have priority.' Abū 'Ubayd said: he means reaching maturity and attainment of reason; al-ḥiqāq (الحقاق) is that this one says 'I am more entitled' (anā aḥaqq) and those say 'we are more entitled' (naḥnu aḥaqq); 'ḥāqaqtuhu ḥiqāqan' (حاققته حقاقا) [I disputed rights with him]. Whoever reads it 'naṣṣ al-ḥaqā'iq' (نص الحقائق) intends it as the plural of ḥaqīqa (الحقيقة). It is said of a man who disputes over trifling matters: 'innahu la-naziqu al-ḥiqāq' (إنه لنزق الحقاق). It is said 'ṭa'natun muḥtaqqatun' (طعنة محتقة) when [a spear-thrust] reaches the body cavity (al-jawf) by its force; it is [also] said to be the thrust that strikes in the hip-socket (ḥaqq al-wark). The Hudhalī poet said: "— Hallā, when the spearpoints were bared toward her, between one struck in the hip-socket (muḥtaqq) and one gashed (mushrram)..." Some said al-muḥtaqq (المحتق) is one killed on the spot. It is said 'thawbun muḥaqqaqun' (ثوب محقق) when it is tightly woven (muḥkam al-nasj). [A poet] said: "— Your father's face-skin shall clothe you; indeed we have sufficed you the tightly-woven thin garments (al-muḥaqqaqa al-riqāqa)..." Al-ḥiqqa (الحقة), of the young of camels, is that which has become fit to be loaded, plural al-ḥiqāq (الحقاق). Al-A'shā said: "— They are who they are, when wine grows scarce, and their wineskins and the ḥiqāq [camels] rise up..." meaning a skin of it is sold for a ḥaqq (fair price). So-and-so is 'ḥāmī al-ḥaqīqa' (حامي الحقيقة) when he protects what it is incumbent upon him to protect; it is said al-ḥaqīqa (الحقيقة) [in this sense] is the banner/standard. The Hudhalī said: "— Protector of al-ḥaqīqa, inquirer about al-wadīqa, clinging to al-wasīqa, neither coward nor weakling..." Al-aḥaqq (الأحق) of horses is one that does not sweat, and this belongs to the root because that results from its hardness, strength and soundness (iḥkām). A man of the Anṣār said: "— And a sure-footed, high-withered dashing one, bay-colored, neither aḥaqq nor shai'īt..." Its verbal noun is al-ḥaqaq (الحقق). Some said: al-aqdar (الأقدر) is when the hind hoof-fall precedes the fore hoof-fall; al-aḥaqq (الأحق) is when the one matches the other exactly; and al-shai'īt (الشئيت) is when the hind hoof-fall falls short of the fore. Al-ḥāqqa (الحاقة) is the Resurrection, because it renders everything certain (taḥiqqu bi-kulli shay'). God Almighty said: 'and the word of punishment was confirmed against the disbelievers' (wa-ḥaqqat kalimatu al-'adhābi 'alā al-kāfirīn). Al-ḥaqḥaqa (الحقحقة) is the swiftest and most exhausting manner of travel for the mount. In the ḥadīth of Muṭarrif ibn 'Abdillāh to his son: 'The best of affairs are their middle ways, and the worst kind of travel is al-ḥaqḥaqa.' Al-ḥaqq (الحق) is the joint where any two bones meet, except the spine, and this occurs only where it is hard and strong; from this too is al-ḥaqq (الحق) meaning a wooden box, as if it were the meeting and fitting-together of a thing; it is feminine, plural ḥuqaq (حقق); it occurs in the poetry of Ru'ba: 'taqṭīṭu al-ḥuqaq' (تقطيط الحقق). It is said 'fulānun ḥaqīqun bi-kadhā' (فلان حقيق بكذا) and 'maḥqūqun bihi' (محقوق به). Al-A'shā said: "— Worthy is she (la-maḥqūqatun) to answer his call, and to know that the one cared for is fortunate..." Some scholars said, regarding His saying in the story of Moses, peace be upon him: 'ḥaqīqun 'alā' (حقيق على) [Q7:105], that it means 'obligatory upon me' (wājibun 'alayya); and whoever reads it 'ḥaqīqun 'alā' [otherwise vocalized], its meaning is 'eager for' (ḥarīṣun 'alā). Al-Kisā'ī said: 'ḥaqqa laka an taf'ala hādhā' (حق لك أن تفعل هذا) and 'ḥaqaqtu' (حققت). You say 'ḥaqqan lā af'alu dhālika' (حقا لا أفعل ذلك) in an oath. Abū 'Ubayda said: they insert the lām into it, saying 'la-ḥaqqu lā af'alu dhāka' (لحق لا أفعل ذاك), raising it without tanwīn.

  • al-Rāghib · 502The root [meaning] of al-ḥaqq (الحق) is correspondence and agreement (al-muṭābaqa wa-al-muwāfaqa), like the correspondence of a door's pivot in its socket (ḥaqq) so that it turns evenly.

    al-Rāghib al-Iṣfahānī (d. c. 502/1108), al-Mufradāt. Quranic vocabulary, from core sense to Quranic usage.

    The root [meaning] of al-ḥaqq (الحق) is correspondence and agreement (al-muṭābaqa wa-al-muwāfaqa), like the correspondence of a door's pivot in its socket (ḥaqq) so that it turns evenly. Al-ḥaqq is used in several senses. First: it is said of that which brings a thing into existence by reason of what wisdom requires; hence it was said of God Almighty 'huwa al-ḥaqq' (He is the Truth). God Almighty said: 'Then they are returned to Allah, their true Master (mawlāhumu al-ḥaqq)' [10:30], and shortly after: 'That is Allah, your true Lord (rabbukumu al-ḥaqq); so what is there after truth except error? How then are you turned away?' [10:32]. Second: it is said of what comes to exist according to the requirement of wisdom; hence it is said that all of God's acts are ḥaqq, as in our saying 'death is ḥaqq,' 'the resurrection is ḥaqq.' He said: 'It is He who made the sun a radiance and the moon a light...' [10:5], up to His words 'Allah did not create that except in truth' [10:5]; and He said concerning the Resurrection: 'And they ask you to inform them, "Is it true?" Say: "Yes, by my Lord, indeed it is true (la-ḥaqq)"' [10:53]; 'and you conceal the truth (al-ḥaqq)' [2:146]; 'the truth is from your Lord' [2:147]; 'and indeed it is the truth from your Lord' [2:149]. Third: in belief, of a thing corresponding to what that thing is in itself, as in our saying 'so-and-so's belief concerning resurrection, reward, punishment, Paradise and Hellfire is ḥaqq.' God Almighty said: 'So Allah guided those who believed to the truth concerning that over which they had differed' [2:213]. Fourth: for an act or statement according to what is due and to the extent due, and at the due time, as in our saying 'your act is ḥaqq,' 'your statement is ḥaqq.' He said: 'Thus the word of your Lord was confirmed (ḥaqqat)' [10:33]; 'and the word from Me has come due (ḥaqqa) [that] I will surely fill Hell' [32:13]; and His saying: 'And if al-Ḥaqq had followed their desires...' [23:71] — it is valid that what is meant is God Almighty, and valid that what is meant is the ruling that accords with the requirement of wisdom. It is said 'aḥqaqtu kadhā' (أحققت كذا) meaning I established it as true, or judged it to be true. His saying: 'that He may establish the truth (li-yuḥiqqa al-ḥaqq)' [8:8] — the establishing of truth is of two kinds: one, by manifesting proofs and signs, as He said: 'and such [people], We have made for you against them a clear authority' [4:91], i.e. a strong proof; the second, by completing the sacred Law and spreading it among all, as in His saying: 'and Allah will perfect His light, though the disbelievers dislike it' [61:8]; 'It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth (dīn al-ḥaqq) that He may make it prevail over all religion' [9:33]. And His saying 'Al-Ḥāqqa, what is al-Ḥāqqa?' [69:1] refers to the Resurrection, as He explained by His saying 'the Day mankind will stand [before the Lord of the worlds]' [83:6], because in it the recompense becomes due (yaḥiqqu fīhi al-jazā'). It is said 'ḥāqaqtuhu fa-ḥaqaqtuhu' (حاققته فحققته) meaning I disputed the right with him and overcame him. And 'Umar said... [entry continues]

    أصل الحق: المطابقة والموافقة، كمطابقة رجل الباب في حقه «2» لدورانه على استقامة. والحق يقال على أوجه: الأول: يقال لموجد الشيء بسبب ما تقتضيه الحكمة، ولهذا قيل في الله تعالى: هو الحق «3» ، قال الله تعالى: وردوا إلى الله مولاهم الحق «4» ، وقيل بعيد ذلك: فذلكم الله ربكم الحق فماذا بعد الحق إلا الضلال فأنى تصرفون [يونس/ 32] . والثاني: يقال للموجد بحسب مقتضى الحكمة، ولهذا يقال: فعل الله تعالى كله حق، نحو قولنا: الموت حق، والبعث حق، وقال تعالى: هو الذي جعل الشمس ضياء والقمر نورا [يونس/ 5] ، إلى قوله: ما خلق الله ذلك إلا بالحق [يونس/ 5] ، وقال في القيامة: ويستنبئونك أحق هو قل إي وربي إنه لحق [يونس/ 53] ، وليكتمون الحق [البقرة/ 146] ، وقوله عز وجل: الحق من ربك [البقرة/ 147] ، وإنه للحق من ربك [البقرة/ 149] . والثالث: في الاعتقاد للشيء المطابق لما عليه ذلك الشيء في نفسه، كقولنا: اعتقاد فلان في البعث والثواب والعقاب والجنة والنار حق، قال الله تعالى: فهدى الله الذين آمنوا لما اختلفوا فيه من الحق [البقرة/ 213] . والرابع: للفعل والقول بحسب ما يجب وبقدر ما يجب، وفي الوقت الذي يجب، كقولنا: فعلك حق وقولك حق، قال تعالى: كذلك حقت كلمة ربك [يونس/ 33] ، وحق القول مني لأملأن جهنم [السجدة/ 13] ، وقوله عز وجل: ولو اتبع الحق أهواءهم [المؤمنون/ 71] ، يصح أن يكون المراد به الله تعالى، ويصح أن يراد به الحكم الذي هو بحسب مقتضى الحكمة. ويقال: أحققت كذا، أي: أثبته حقا، أو حكمت بكونه حقا، وقوله تعالى: ليحق الحق [الأنفال/ 8] فإحقاق الحق على ضربين. أحدهما: بإظهار الأدلة والآيات، كما قال تعالى: وأولئكم جعلنا لكم عليهم سلطانا مبينا [النساء/ 91] ، أي: حجة قوية. والثاني: بإكمال الشريعة وبثها في الكافة، كقوله تعالى: والله متم نوره ولو كره الكافرون [الصف/ 8] ، هو الذي أرسل رسوله بالهدى ودين الحق ليظهره على الدين كله [التوبة/ 33] ، وقوله: الحاقة ما الحاقة [الحاقة/ 1] ، إشارة إلى القيامة، كما فسره بقوله: يوم يقوم الناس [المطففين/ 6] ، لأنه يحق فيه الجزاء، ويقال: حاققته فحققته، أي خاصمته في الحق فغلبته، وقال عمر رضي الله عنه: (إذا النساء بلغن نص الحقاق فالعصبة أولى في ذلك) «1» . وفلان نزق الحقاق: إذا خاصم في صغار الأمور «2» ، ويستعمل استعمال الواجب واللازم والجائز نحو: كان حقا علينا نصر المؤمنين [الروم/ 47] ، كذلك حقا علينا ننج المؤمنين [يونس/ 103] ، وقوله تعالى: حقيق على أن لا أقول على الله إلا الحق [الأعراف/ 105] ، قيل معناه: جدير، وقرئ: حقيق على «3» قيل: واجب، وقوله تعالى: وبعولتهن أحق بردهن [البقرة/ 228] ، والحقيقة تستعمل تارة في الشيء الذي له ثبات ووجود، كقوله صلى الله عليه وسلم لحارث: «لكل حق حقيقة، فما حقيقة إيمانك؟» «4» ، أي: ما الذي ينبئ عن كون ما تدعيه حقا؟ وفلان يحمي حقيقته، أي: ما يحق عليه أن يحمى. وتارة تستعمل في الاعتقاد كما تقدم، وتارة في العمل وفي القول، فيقال: فلان لفعله حقيقة: إذا لم يكن مرائيا فيه، ولقوله حقيقة: إذا لم يكن مترخصا ومتزيدا، ويستعمل في ضده المتجوز والمتوسع والمتفسح، وقيل: الدنيا باطل، والآخرة حقيقة، تنبيها على زوال هذه وبقاء تلك، وأما في تعارف الفقهاء والمتكلمين فهي اللفظ المستعمل فيما وضع له في أصل اللغة «1» . والحق من الإبل: ما استحق أن يحمل عليه، والأنثى: حقة، والجمع: حقاق، وأتت الناقة على حقها «2» ، أي: على الوقت الذي ضربت فيه من العام الماضي.

  • Lisān · 711Al-ḥaqq (الحق): the opposite of al-bāṭil;

    Ibn Manẓūr (d. 711/1311), Lisān al-ʿArab. The great compendium of the earlier dictionaries (entry shortened).

    Al-ḥaqq (الحق): the opposite of al-bāṭil; its plural is ḥuqūq (حقوق) and ḥiqāq (حقاق), and it has no special paucal form. In the ḥadīth of the talbiya: 'labbayka ḥaqqan ḥaqqan' (لبيك حقا حقا) meaning 'truly, not falsely' — it is a verbal noun corroborating another word, i.e. by it he confirms the meaning of the incumbency of obedience to You indicated by 'labbayka,' just as one says 'hādhā 'Abdullāhi ḥaqqan' [This is 'Abdullāh, truly], confirming and repeating it for further emphasis; and 'ta'abbudan' [in the same expression] is an object of purpose. Sībawayh related: 'la-ḥaqqu annahu dhāhibun' (لحق أنه ذاهب), annexing 'ḥaqq' to 'annahu,' as if saying 'la-yaqīnu dhāka amruka' [certain is that — [it is] your affair], though this is not the speech of all the Arabs; 'amruka' is the predicate of 'yaqīn,' since it has been annexed to 'dhāka,' and when annexed to it, it cannot [simultaneously] serve as predicate of it. Sībawayh said: 'We heard the eloquent Arabs say it.' Al-Akhfash said: 'I did not hear this from the Arabs; we found it only in the Book [of Sībawayh].' The reason for its permissibility, despite its rarity, is the length of the utterance owing to what this subject is annexed to; and when the utterance is long, ellipsis becomes permissible in it that would not be permissible were it short — do you not see what al-Khalīl related from them: 'mā anā bi-alladhī qā'ilun laka shay'an' [I am not the one who will say anything to you]? Whereas if one said 'mā anā bi-alladhī qā'imun' it would be poor [Arabic]. Concerning His saying: 'and do not mix the truth with falsehood' [2:42] — Abū Isḥāq said: al-ḥaqq here is the cause of the Prophet, peace and blessings upon him, and what he brought of the Qur'ān; and he said likewise regarding His saying 'Nay, We hurl the truth against falsehood' [21:18]. 'Ḥaqqa al-amru yaḥiqqu wa-yaḥuqqu ḥaqqan wa-ḥuqūqan' (حق الأمر يحق ويحق حقا وحقوقا): it became true and was established; al-Azharī said its meaning is 'it became obligatory' (wajaba yajibu wujūban). 'Ḥaqqa 'alayhi al-qawlu' (حق عليه القول) and 'aḥqaqtuhu anā' (أحققته أنا). In the Revelation: 'those upon whom the word became due said...' [28:63], meaning it was confirmed; al-Zajjāj said they are the jinn and devils. And His saying 'but the word of punishment was confirmed against the disbelievers' [39:71] means it became obligatory and was established; likewise 'the word has indeed come due against most of them' [36:7]. 'Ḥaqqahu yaḥiqquhu ḥaqqan' (حقه يحقه حقا) and 'aḥaqqahu' (أحقه), both mean: he established it so that it became certain and beyond doubt with him. 'Aḥaqqahu' [also] means he made it true. 'Ḥaqqahu' and 'ḥaqqaqahu' (حقه وحققه): he confirmed him truthful; Ibn Durayd said: he confirmed what the speaker said [as true]. 'Ḥaqqaqa al-rajulu' (حقق الرجل): when he said 'this thing is the truth,' like saying he spoke truly. It is said 'aḥqaqtu al-amra iḥqāqan' (أحققت الأمر إحقاقا) when you made it firm and correct; and it is cited: 'qad kuntu aw'aztu ilā al-'alā'i bi-an yuḥiqqa wa-dhamma al-dilā'i' [I had already signaled to al-'Alā' that he should make certain and gather in the buckets]. 'Ḥaqqa al-amru yaḥiqquhu ḥaqqan' and 'aḥaqqahu': he was certain of it; you say 'ḥaqaqtu al-amra wa-aḥqaqtuhu' when you were certain of it. It is said 'mā lī fīka ḥaqqun wa-lā ḥiqāqun' (ما لي فيك حق ولا حقاق) meaning no dispute. 'Ḥaqqa ḥadhara al-rajuli yaḥiqquhu ḥaqqan' (حق حذر الرجل يحقه حقا) and 'ḥaqqaqtu ḥadharahu wa-aḥqaqtuhu' mean I did [to him] what he was wary of. 'Ḥaqaqtu al-rajula wa-aḥqaqtuhu' (حققت الرجل وأحققته) [also means] I came to him — related by Abū 'Ubayd. Al-Azharī said: do not say 'ḥaqqa ḥadharaka'; and he said: 'ḥaqaqtu al-rajula wa-aḥqaqtuhu' means I overcame him regarding the right and established it against him. Ibn Sīda said: 'wa-ḥaqqahu 'alā al-ḥ...' [entry continues]

    الحق: نقيض الباطل، وجمعه حقوق وحقاق، وليس له بناء أدنى عدد. وفي حديث التلبية: لبيك حقا حقا أي غير باطل، وهو مصدر مؤكد لغيره أي أنه أكد به معنى ألزم طاعتك الذي دل عليه لبيك، كما تقول: هذا عبد الله حقا فتؤكد به وتكرره لزيادة التأكيد، وتعبدا مفعول له «1» وحكى سيبويه: لحق أنه ذاهب بإضافة حق إلى أنه كأنه قال: ليقين ذاك أمرك، وليست في كلام كل العرب، فأمرك هو خبر يقين لأنه قد أضافه إلى ذاك وإذا أضافه إليه لم يجز أن يكون خبرا عنه، قال سيبويه: سمعنا فصحاء العرب يقولونه، وقال الأخفش: لم أسمع هذا من العرب إنما وجدناه في الكتاب ووجه جوازه، على قلته، طول الكلام بما أضيف هذا المبتدأ إليه، وإذا طال الكلام جاز فيه من الحذف ما لا يجوز فيه إذا قصر، ألا ترى إلى ما حكاه الخليل عنهم: ما أنا بالذي قائل لك شيئا؟ ولو قلت: ما أنا بالذي قائم لقبح. وقوله تعالى: ولا تلبسوا الحق بالباطل ؛ قال أبو إسحق: الحق أمر النبي، صلى الله عليه وسلم، وما أتى به من القرآن؛ وكذلك قال في قوله تعالى: بل نقذف بالحق على الباطل . وحق الأمر يحق ويحق حقا وحقوقا: صار حقا وثبت؛ قال الأزهري: معناه وجب يجب وجوبا، وحق عليه القول وأحققته أنا. وفي التنزيل: قال الذين حق عليهم القول ؛ أي ثبت، قال الزجاج: هم الجن والشياطين. وقوله تعالى: ولكن حقت كلمة العذاب على الكافرين ؛ أي وجبت وثبتت، وكذلك: لقد حق القول على أكثرهم ؛ وحقه يحقه حقا وأحقه، كلاهما: أثبته وصار عنده حقا لا يشك فيه. وأحقه: صيره حقا. وحقه وحققه: صدقه؛ وقال ابن دريد: صدق قائله. وحقق الرجل إذا قال هذا الشيء هو الحق كقولك صدق. ويقال: أحققت الأمر إحقاقا إذا أحكمته وصححته؛ وأنشد: قد كنت أوعزت إلى العلاء ... بأن يحق وذم الدلاء وحق الأمر يحقه حقا وأحقه: كان منه على يقين؛ تقول: حققت الأمر وأحققته إذا كنت على يقين منه. ويقال: ما لي فيك حق ولا حقاق أي خصومة. وحق حذر الرجل يحقه حقا وحققت حذره وأحققته أي فعلت ما كان يحذره. وحققت الرجل وأحققته إذا أتيته؛ حكاه أبو عبيد. قال الأزهري: ولا تقل حق حذرك، وقال: حققت الرجل وأحققته إذا غلبته على الحق وأثبته عليه. قال ابن سيده: وحقه على الحق وأحقه غلبه عليه، واستحقه طلب منه حقه. واحتق القوم: قال كل واحد منهم: الحق في يدي. وفي حديث ابن عباس في قراء القرآن: متى ما تغلوا في القرآن تحتقوا ، يعني المراء في القرآن، ومعنى تحتقوا تختصموا فيقول كل واحد منهم: الحق بيدي ومعي؛ ومنه حديث الحضانة: فجاء رجلان يحتقان في ولد أي يختصمان ويطلب كل واحد منهما حقه؛ ومنه الحديث: من يحاقني في ولدي ؟ وحديث وهب: كان فيما كلم الله أيوب، عليه السلام: أتحاقني بخطئك ؛ ومنه كتابه لحصين: إن له كذا وكذا لا يحاقه فيها أحد. وفي حديث أبي بكر، رضي الله عنه: أنه خرج في الهاجرة إلى المسجد فقيل له: ما أخرجك؟ قال: ما أخرجني إلا ما أجد من حاق الجوع أي صادقه وشدته، ويروى بالتخفيف من حاق به يحيق حيقا وحاقا إذا أحدق به، يريد من اشتمال الجوع عليه، فهو مصدر أقامه مقام الاسم، وهو مع التشديد اسم فاعل من حق يحق. وفي حديث تأخير الصلاة: وتحتقونها إلى شرق الموتى أي تضيقون وقتها إلى ذلك الوقت. يقال: هو في حاق من كذا أي في ضيق؛ قال ابن الأثير: هكذا رواه بعض المتأخرين وشرحه، قال: والرواية المعروفة بالخاء المعجمة والنون، وسيأتي ذكره. والحق: من أسماء الله عز وجل، وقيل من صفاته؛ قال ابن الأثير: هو الموجود حقيقة المتحقق وجوده وإلهيته. والحق: ضد الباطل. وفي التنزيل: ثم ردوا إلى الله مولاهم الحق . وقوله تعالى: ولو اتبع الحق أهواءهم ؛ قال ثعلب: الحق هنا الله عز وجل، وقال الزجاج: ويجوز أن يكون الحق هنا التنزيل أي لو كن القرآن بما يحبونه لفسدت السموات والأرض. وقوله تعالى: وجاءت سكرة الموت بالحق ؛ معناه جاءت السكرة التي تدل الإنسان أنه ميت بالحق بالموت الذي خلق له. قال ابن سيده: وروي عن أبي بكر، رضي الله عنه: وجاءت سكرة الحق أي بالموت، والمعنى واحد، وقيل: الحق هنا الله تعالى. وقول حق: وصف به، كما تقول قول باطل. وقال الليحاني: وقوله تعالى: ذلك عيسى ابن مريم قول الحق ، إنما هو على إضافة الشيء إلى نفسه؛ قال الأزهري: رفع الكسائي القول وجعل الحق هو الله، وقد نصب قول قوم من القراء يريدون ذلك عيسى ابن مريم قولا حقا، وقرأ من قرأ: فالحق والحق أقول برفع الحق الأول فمعناه أنا الحق. وقال الفراء في قوله تعالى: قال فالحق والحق أقول ، قرأ القراء الأول بالرفع والنصب، روي الرفع عن عبد الله بن عباس، المعنى فالحق مني وأقول الحق، وقد نصبهما معا كثير من القراء، منهم من يجعل الأول على معنى الحق لأملأن، ونصب الثاني بوقوع الفعل عليه ليس فيه اختلاف؛ قال ابن سيده: ومن قرأ فالحق والحق أقول بنصب الحق الأول، فتقديره فأحق الحق حقا؛ وقال ثعلب: تقديره فأقول الحق حقا؛ ومن قرأ فالحق ، أراد فبالح …

    حَقَّ

    1. حَقَّ, aor. حَقِقَ (S, Msb, K, &c.) and حَقُقَ , (IDrd, Msb, K,) [the latter irregular,] inf. n. حَقَّةٌ (K, TA) and حَقٌّ (IDrd, TA) and حُقُوقٌ, (TA,) i. q. صَارَ حَقًّا [i. e., accord. to the primary meaning of حَقٌّ, as explained below, on the authority of Er-Rághib, It was, or became, suitable to the requirements of wisdom, justice, right or rightness, truth, or reality or fact; or to the exigencies of the case]: (TA:) it was, or became, just, proper, right, correct, or true; authentic, genuine, sound, valid, substantial, or real; established, or confirmed, as a truth or fact: and necessitated, necessary, requisite, or unavoidable; binding, obligatory, incumbent, or due: syn. وَجَبَ; (T, S, Msb, K, &c.;) and ثَبَتَ: (Msb, TA:) it was, or became, a manifest and an indubitable fact or event; as explained by IDrd in the Jm; (TA;) it happened, betided, or befell, surely, without doubt or uncertainty. (K.) It is said in the Kur xxxvi. 6, لَقَدْ حَقَّ القَوْلُ عَلَى أَكْثَرِهِمْ, i. e. The saying, “ I will assuredly fill Hell with genii and men together, ” [Kur xi. 120 and xxxii. 13,] (Bd,) or the sentence of punishment, (Jel,) hath become necessitated [as suitable to the requirements of justice, or as being just or right,] to take effect upon the greater number of them; syn. وَجَبَ, (Jel, TA,) and ثَبَتَ. (TA.) And this, namely, ثَبَتَ, is the meaning of the verb in the phrase, حَقَّ عَلَيْكَ القَضَآءُ [The sentence was, or, emphatically, is, necessitated as suitable to the requirements of justice to take effect upon thee; or it was, or is, necessary, just, or right, that the sentence should take effect upon thee]. (TA.) [In like manner,] one says, يَحِقُّ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا It is necessary for thee [as suitable to the requirements of wisdom or justice or the like], or incumbent on thee, or just or proper or right for thee, that thou shouldst do such a thing. (TA.) [Thus one says,] الحَقِيقَةُ مَا يَحِقُّ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَحْمِيَهُ [The حقيقة is that which it is necessary for thee &c., or that which it behooveth thee, that thou shouldst defend it, or protect it]. (S, * K.) Accord. to Sh, the Arabs said, حَقَّ عَلَىَّ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ ذٰلِكَ and حُقَّ: but accord. to Fr, when you say حَقَّ, you say عَلَيْكَ; and when you say حُقَّ, you say لَكَ. (TA.) [Accordingly] one says, حُقَّ لَكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ ذَا and حُقِقْتَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَهُ: both mean the same: (Ks, S, K:) [i. e., each has one, or the other, or both, of the meanings next following:] or the former means It was, or, emphatically, is, rendered حّقّ [or suitable to the requirements of wisdom or justice &c.] for thee, or necessary for thee, or incumbent on thee, or just or proper or right for thee, [or it behooved or behooves thee,] that thou shouldst do, or to do, this, or that: and [the latter, or] حُقِقْتَ بِأَنْ تَفْعَلَ, Thou wast, or, emphatically, art, rendered حَقِيق [or adapted, disposed, apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, proper, competent, or worthy,] that thou shouldst do, or to do, this, or that]: (A, TA:) and in like manner, حُقَّتْ signifies in the Kur lxxxiv. 2 and 5: (Bd, Jel: *) or حُقِقْتَ بِأَنْ تَفْعَلَ may mean thou wast, or art, known by the testimony of thy circumstances to be حَقِيق &c. (A, TA.) And مَا كَانَ يَحُقُّكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَهُ [virtually] means the same as مَا حُقَّ لَكَ [best rendered in this case It did not behoove thee to do it]. (TA.) One says also, حَقَّ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ [It was, or, emphatically, is, necessary &c. that thou shouldst do or to do such a thing]: but they did not say, حَقَقْتَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ. (Fr, TA.) But حَقَّ عَلَىَّ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا means Thy doing so distressed, or hath distressed, or afflicted, me; or, emphatically, distresses, or afflicts, me; like عَزَّ عَلَىَّ. (S and K and TA in art. عز.) And in like manner, حَقَّ أَنَّكَ ذَاهِبٌ [or حَقَّ مَا أَنَّكَ ذَاهِبٌ] means عَزَّ مَا أَنَّكَ ذَاهِبٌ [It is distressing to me that thou art going away]. (TA in art. عز.) And لَحَقَّ مَا is used in the same manner as لَعَزَّ مَا, q. v. (A and TA in art. عز.) You say also, حَقَّتِ الحَاجَةُ Want befell, or betided, or happened, and was severe, or distressing: (Msb, TA:) [which is said to be] from the phrase, حَقَّتِ القِيَامَةُ, aor. حَقُقَ , The resurrection included, or shall include, within its sphere [all] the created beings. (Msb.) حَقَّتْ, aor. حَقِقَ , (K,) inf. n. حِقَّةٌ (S, * Msb, K,) and حِقٌّ, (K,) or, accord. to ISd, it should rather be حَقَاقَةٌ and حُقُوقَةٌ, because حِقَّةٌ is used as an epithet, [as will be seen below,] and the inf. n. in a case like this, by rule, should differ from the epithet, (TA,) She (a camel) became a حِقّ, or حِقَّة; i. e., entered the fourth year: (K:) and أَحَقَّ, inf. n. إِحْقَاقٌ, he (a camel) became a حِقّ: because, so they say, he is then fit to be laden: (Msb:) and احقّت she (a young camel) completed three years; (Aboo-Málik, K;) became a حِقَّة; (Ibn-'Abbád, K;) like حَقَّتْ. (TA.) You say, هُوَ حَقٌّ بَيِّنُ الحِقَّةِ [He is a حقّ, bearing evidence of being such]: (S:) and هِىَ حِقٌّ (K) and حِقَّةٌ (Msb, K) بَيِّنَةُ الحِقَّةِ [she is a حقّ or حقّة, bearing evidence &c.]: (Msb:) [a phrase] to which a parallel is scarcely known, (Msb,) or to which there is no parallel (K) except أَسَدٌ بَيِّنُ الأَسَدِ [a lion bearing evidence of being like a lion in boldness]. (TA.) حِقٌّ [as inf. n. of حَقَّتْ] also signifies A she-camel's overpassing the days [corresponding to those] in which she was covered [in the preceding year]: (K:) or her completing [the time of] her pregnancy; as also اِسْتِحْقَاقٌ.

And حَقَقْتُ ظَنَّهُ; (Ks, TA;) and حَقَّقْتُهُ, (Ks, S, TA,) inf. n. تَحْقِيقٌ: (S:) both signify the same; (Ks, TA;) i. e. صَدَّقْتُ; (S;) which means I found his opinion to be true; (Ksh and Bd and Jel, in xxxiv. 19;) or proved it to be true: (Ksh, ibid.:) and so قَوْلَهُ his saying: (S:) and تَحْقِيقٌ signifies [also] the strengthening, or confirming, a saying; or making it strong, or firm. (KL.) And أَنَا أَحَقُّ لَكُمْ هٰذَا الخَبَرَ I will know, or ascertain, the truth, or real nature, of this piece of news or information, for you. (TA.) And أَظُنُّهُ وَ لَا أَحُقُّهُ [I think it, but I do not know the truth of it, or am not certain of it]. (T in art. إِيَّا; &c.) And حَقَقْتُ العُقْدَةَ, [written in the TA without any syll. signs, so that it may be either thus or حَقَّقْتُهُ; but it is most probably the former, as the quasi-pass. is not تحقّقت, but انحقّت: it signifies lit. I made the knot right, or sure; meaning] (tropical:) I tied, or made fast, or tightened, the knot; (Ibn-'Abbád, TA;) or I tied, or tightened, firmly the knot. (A, TA.) [He, or it, rendered him حَقِيق, i. e. adapted, disposed, apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, proper, or worthy, to do a thing &c.; whence حُقِقْتَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَهُ, or بِأَنْ تَفْعَلَ, explained above. It was necessary for him, or incumbent on him, or just or proper or right for him, or it behooved him, to do a thing &c.; whence مَا كَانَ يَحُقُّكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَهُ, explained above.] Also, (S, K,) aor. حَقُقَ , (K,) inf. n. حَقٌّ, (TA,) He overcame him in disputing, or contending, for a right, or due; (S, K, * TA;) and so احقّهُ, (K,) inf. n. إِحْقَاقٌ, mentioned by Az on the authority of Ks, but, he adds, disallowed by A 'Obeyd. (TA.) See 3. Also He (a man) came to him, namely, another man; (A 'Obeyd, S, K;) and so احقّهُ. (A 'Obeyd, S.) [Hence, app.,] حَقَّتْنِى الشَّمْسُ The sun reached me. (TA.)

Hence also] صَبَغْتُ الثَّوْبَ صَبْغًا تَحْقِيقًا I dyed the garment, or piece of cloth, with a saturating dyeing. (TA.) And تَحْقِيقٌ signifies also The weaving a garment, or piece of cloth, strongly, or firmly. (KL.) حقّق فِى أَمْرِهِ He was serious, or in earnest, in his affair; contr. of هَزَلَ. (L in art. جد.)

(TA.) You say, حَاقَّنِى وَ لَمْ يُحَاقَّنِى فِيهِ أَحَدٌ [He disputed, &c., with me, and no one had disputed, &c., with me respecting it]. (TA.) [But] you say also, حَاقَقْتُهُ فَحَقَقْتُهُ I disputed, litigated, or contended, with him for a right, or due, and I overcame him in doing so. (TA.)

(TA. [See art. نص; in which this trad. is more fully, but somewhat differently, cited; and fully explained.]) [Also, app., He acted seriously, or in earnest, with him in an affair: see 3 in art. جد: and see also 2 above, last signification.]

(Msb.) See also حَقَّ, as an intrans. verb, in three places; relating to camels. احقّ القَوْمُ The people's cattle became fat. (TA.) And احقّ القَوْمُ مِنَ الرَّبِيعِ The people's cattle became fat by means of the [herbage called] ربيع. (AHn, * ISd, TA.) As a trans. verb: see حَقَّهُ, in nine places.

(TA.) رَمَى فَأَحَقَّ الرَّمِيَّةَ (tropical:) He cast, or shot, and killed on the spot the animal at which he cast, or shot.

    تَحَاقٌّ

    6. تَحَاقٌّ is syn. with تَخَاصُمٌ; and اِحْتِقَاقٌ, with اِخْتِصَامٌ; [The disputing, litigating, or contending, together;] (S, K;) [for] تَخَاصَمُوا and اِخْتَصَمُوا signify the same; (K in art. خصم;) [or rather] the meaning of [تحاقّ and] احتقاق is [the disputing, &c., together for a right, or due;] each one's, or every one's, saying, “ The right is mine, ” and “ with me; ” or demanding his right, or due. (TA.) One says, تَحَاقٌّوا [They disputed, &c., together for a right, or due]. (TK.) And اِحْتَقَّا They two disputed, &c., (K, TA,) each of them demanding his right, or due. (TA.) And فُلَانٌ وَ فُلَانٌ احتقّ [Such a one and such a one disputed, &c., together for a right, or due]. (S.) One does not say of a single person [تحاقّ nor] احتقّ; like as one does not say of one only [تخاصم nor] اختصم. (S.)

And احتقّ المَالُ The cattle became fat: (K: [see also the last meaning of 1 as an intrans. verb:]) but in the A and O and L, احتقّ القَوْمُ the people's cattle became fat, and their fatness ended, or attained the extreme point. (TA.)

    استحقّهُ

    10. استحقّهُ He demanded it as his right, or due. (TA.) [And hence,] He had a right, or just title or claim, to it; he was, or became, entitled to it; he deserved it, or merited it; syn. اِسْتَوْجَبَهُ: (S, Msb, K:) or these two verbs are nearly the same; (TA;) [the former meaning he was, or became, adapted, disposed, apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, competent, or proper, for it; which is the most proper meaning of the phrase صَارَ حَقِيقًا بِهِ, as well as of the verb استحقّ; but this verb has also the former of these two meanings.] When a man purchases a house, and another lays claim to it, and establishes a just evidence of his claim, and the judge decides for him according to his evidence, one says of him, قَدِ ٱسْتَحَقَّهَا عَلَى المُشْتَرِى [He has a right to it in preference to the purchaser]; meaning that he is to possess it in preference to the purchaser. (TA.) And of a camel such as is termed حِقّ one says, استحقّ أَنْ يُرْكَبَ [He was, or has become, fit to be ridden], (K,) and أَنْ يُحْمَلَ عَلَيْهِ [to be laden]: (S, Msb:) and استحقّ الضِّرَابَ [He was, or has become, fit for covering]. (L, K.) [Hence, It (an action, and anything,) deserved it, merited it, or required it.] And استحقّ إِثْمًا He did what necessitated sin; (Ksh and Bd and Jel in v. 106;) [was guilty of a sin;] and deserved its being said of him that he was a sinner; (Ksh ibid.;) i. q. اِسْتَوْجَبَهُ. (TA.) And استحقّوا They committed sins for which he who should punish them would be excusable, because they deserved punishment; like أَوْجَبُوا, and أَعْذَرُوا, and اِسْتَلَاطُوا. (IAar, TA in art. لوط.) استحقّت إِبِلُنَا رَبِيعًا: see 4, last sentence. استحقّت النَّاقَةُ لَقَاحًا The she-camel conceived, or became pregnant; and استحقّ لَقَاحُهَا [signifies the same]. (TA.) See also 1, as an intrans. verb, last two sentences.

    حَقْحَقَ

    R. Q. 1. حَقْحَقَ, inf. n. حَقْحَقَةٌ, He went the pace, or in the manner, termed حَقْحَقَةٌ; (TA;) which means a pace, or manner of going, in which the beast is made to exert himself to the very utmost, and which is the most fatiguing to the ظَهْر [meaning the camel that is ridden, or the beast that carries one]: (S, Mgh, K:) or a journeying in the beginning, or first part, of the night; (Lth, S, K;) which is forbidden: (Lth, S, TA:) or, as some say, the fatiguing a while, and abstaining a while: (Lth, TA:) but Az says that Lth is not correct in either of his explanations of this word: (TA:) or an obstinate persisting in journeying: or an obstinate persisting in journeying until the camel that one is riding perishes or breaks down: (K:) or, accord. to Az, the correct meaning, confirmed by what the Arabs said, is the making the camel to go on, and urging him to that which fatigues him, and that which is beyond his power, until he breaks down with his rider: or, accord. to IAar, the jading of the weak [beast] by hard journeying. (TA.) It is related in a trad., that Mutarrif Ibn-Esh-Shikhkheer said to his son, when he took extraordinary pains in religious exercises, (S, TA,) and was immoderate therein, (TA,) خَيْرُ الأُمُورِ أَوْسَاطُهَا وَ الحَسَنَةُ بَيْنَ الشَّيْئَيْنِ وَ شَرُّ السَّيْرِ [The best of affairs, or actions, or cases, are such of them as are between two extremes; and the good action is between the two things; and the worst kind of journeying is that in which the beast is made to exert himself to the very utmost, &c.]: (S, TA:) meaning, pursue thou the middle course in religious exercises, and burden not thyself, lest thou become disgusted; for the best of works is that which is continued, though it be small. (TA.)

    حَقٌّ

    حَقٌّ contr. of بَاطِلٌ [used as a subst. and as an epithet or act. part. n.]: (S, Msb, K:) or, as an inf. n. [and used as a simple subst.], contr. of بُطْلَانٌ; and as an act. part. n., and a simple epithet, contr. of بَاطِلٌ. (Kull.) [As a subst.,] its primary signification is Suitableness to the requirements of wisdom, justice, right, or rightness, truth, reality, or fact; or to the exigencies of the case; as the suitableness of the foot of a door in respect of its socket, for turning round rightly: (Er-Rághib, TA:) [and particularly] the suitableness of a judgment, and of what involves, or implies, a judgment, [i. e., of a saying, and a religion, and a persuasion, or the like, (as will be shown by one of the explanations of its meanings as an epithet,)] to reality or fact; and the suitableness of reality or fact to a judgment: (Kull:) [the state, or quality, or property, of being just, proper, right, correct, or true; justness, propriety, rightness, correctness, or truth; reality, or fact; the state, &c., of being established, or confirmed, as a truth or fact; of being necessary, requisite, or unavoidable; of being binding, obligatory, incumbent, or due: (as shown above: see 1, first sentence:)] and existence in relation to substances, absolutely: and everlasting existence [in relation to God]: (Kull:) pl. حُقُوقٌ and حِقَاقٌ: it has no pl. of pauc. (TA.) As an act. part. n. and a simple epithet, it is applied to a judgment [as meaning] suitable to reality or fact; and to a saying, and a religion, and a persuasion, considered as involving, or implying, such a judgment: (Kull:) to that which is suitable to the requirements of wisdom, justice, right, or rightness; as when one says that every act of God is حَقّ: to a belief, in a thing, suitable to the reality of the case; as when one says that belief in the resurrection is حَقّ: and to an action, and a saying, accordant to what is requisite or obligatory, in quality and measure and time; as when one says that the action of another is حَقّ, and that his saying is حَقّ: (Er-Rághib, TA:) [thus it signifies just, proper, right, correct, or true; authentic, genuine, sound, valid, substantial, or real; established, or confirmed, as a truth or fact: and necessary, requisite, or unavoidable: and binding, obligatory, incumbent, or due:] also the necessarily-existing by his own essence [applied to God; as an epithet of Whom it has other meanings assigned to it by some, as will be seen below]: and anything existing, of an objective kind: (Kull:) existing as an established fact, or truth, (K, TA,) so as to be undeniable. (TA.) In the saying, هٰذَا عَبْدُ ٱللّٰهِ الحَقَّ لَا البَاطِلَ [This is 'Abd-Allah, truly; not falsely], the article ال is prefixed as it is in the phrase, أَرْسَلَهَا العِرَاكَ; but sometimes it is dropped, so that one says حَقًّا لَا بَاطِلًا. (Sb, TA.) And in the phrase, لَحَقُّ لَا آتِيكَ, a form of oath, the nom. case is used without tenween; but when the ل is dropped, one says, حَقًّا لَا آتِيكَ: (S, TA:) [the latter means Truly I will not come to thee: the former seems to be best explained by what here follows:] accord. to the A, لَحَقُّ لَا أَفْعَلُ is originally لَحَقُّ ٱللّٰهِ لَا أَفْعَلُ [The truth, or existence, of God is that by which I swear, I will not do such a thing]; the affixed noun [اللّٰه] being suppressed, and meant to be understood. (TA.) الحَقُّ بِيَدِى [The right is mine] and الحَقُّ مَعِى [The right is with me and الحَقُّ عَلَيْكَ The right is against thee, which last is often used as meaning thou art in fault, or in the wrong,] are said by one disputing, or contending, for a thing. (TA.) [And in like manner one says الحَقُّ بِيَدِكَ and مَعَكَ as meaning Thou art in the right, and الحَقُّ عَلَىَّ as meaning I am in the wrong.] One says also, كَانَ ذٰلِكَ عِنْدَ حَقِّ لَقَاحِهَا, and لَقَاحِهَا حِقِّ (tropical:) That was on the occasion of the establishment of the fact of her conception, or pregnancy. (S, A, K, * TA.) And هٰذَا العَالِمُ حَقَّ العَالِمِ, [like هٰذَا العَالِمُ جِدَّ العَالِمِ,] This is the learned man, the extremely learned man. (Sb, TA.) And حَقُّ عَلِيمٍ means Very [or extremely] knowing. (Ham p. 139.) [Respecting the expressions الحَقُّ اليَقِينُ and حَقُّ اليَقِينِ, see art. يقن.] [From the primary and general signification, explained in the first sentence of this paragraph, are deduced several particular meanings here following.] Equity, or justice. (K.) [The right mode, or manner, of acting or being.] Veracity (K) in discourse. (TA.) Prudence. (K, TA.) [A right, or due, of any kind: a just claim: a desert, or thing deserved: anything that is owed; as a fee, hire, or pay, and a price: a duty; an obligation:] the sing. of حُقُوقٌ. (S, K.) [You say, هٰذَا حَقِّى This is my right, or due, &c. And هٰذَا حَقٌّ لِى This is a right, or due, belonging to me; or a thing due, or owed, to me: or this is a duty to me. And هٰذَا حَقٌّ عَلَىَّ This is a right, or due, the rendering of which is binding, obligatory, or incumbent, on me: or this is my duty. And hence, حَقُّ الطَّرِيقِ The duty that relates to the road: see art. طرق.] حَقَّةٌ is a more particular, or peculiar, or special, term. (S, K.) You say, هٰذِهِ حَقَّتِى [This is my particular, or peculiar, or special, right or due &c.: but it is explained as] meaning حَقِّى. (S.) And هٰذِهِ حِقَّتِى This is my just, or necessary, or incumbent, right or due &c. (K.) A share, or portion; as in the saying, أَعْطِ كُلَّ ذِى حَقٍّ حَقَّهُ Give thou to every one to whom belongs a share, or portion, his share, or portion, that is appointed, or assigned, to him. (TA.) Property: a possession. (K.) [An appertenance. Hence the pl.] حُقُوقٌ signifies The مَرَافِق [or appertenances, or conveniences, such as the privy and the kitchen and the like,] of a house. (Msb, TA.) [A necessary, or requisite, thing.] A thing, or an event, that is decreed, or destined. (K, TA.) It is said to have this meaning in the Kur [xv. 8], in the words, مَا نُنَزِّلُ المَلَائِكَةَ إِلَّا بِالحَقِّ [We send not down the angels save with that which is decreed, or destined]: (TA:) or, as some say, it means here revelation: (Ksh, Bd:) or punishment. (Ksh, Bd, Jel.) [And hence,] Death. (K.) So accord. to some in the Kur [1. 18], where it is said, وَ جَآءَتْ سَكْرَةُ المَوْتِ بِالحَقِّ [And the confusion of the intellect by reason of the agony of death shall come with death: but other and obvious meanings are assigned to it in this instance]. (TA.) [As an epithet,] الحَقُّ is one of the names of God: or one of the epithets applied to Him: (K:) meaning the Really-existing; whose existence and divinity are proved to be true: (IAth, TA:) or the Creator according to the requirements of wisdom, justice, right, or rightness. (Er-Rághib, TA.) It is also applied to The Kur-án. (K.) And to [The religion of] El-Islám. (K.) See also حَقِيقٌ, in two places. And see حَاقٌّ, in two places.

  • الحقيقة

    سلب آثار اوصافك عنك باوصافه بأنه الفاعل بك فيك منك لا انت (ما مِنْ دَابَّةٍ إِلاّ هُوَ آخِذٌ بِناصِيَتِها) .

    Al-ḥaqīqa (الحقيقة): the stripping away of the traces of your [own] attributes from you by [substituting] His attributes — [i.e., realizing] that He is the Actor upon you, within you, from you, not you [yourself]: '[There is] no creature but He holds it by its forelock' [Q11:56].

    Ibn ʿArabī, Iṣṭilāḥ al-Ṣūfiyya, line 124 ↗

  • حق اليقين

    ما حصل من العلم بما اريد له ذلك المشهود.

    Ḥaqq al-yaqīn (حق اليقين, the truth of certainty): that which is attained of knowledge concerning that for which the witnessed [reality] was intended.

    Ibn ʿArabī, Iṣṭilāḥ al-Ṣūfiyya, line 136 ↗

  • الاستطاعة الحقيقية

    هي القدرة التامة التي يجب عندها صدور الفعل، فهي لا تكون إلا مقارنة للفعل.

    Al-istiṭā'a al-ḥaqīqiyya (الاستطاعة الحقيقية, real capacity): it is the complete power at which the occurrence of the act becomes necessary; hence it can only exist concurrent with the act.

    al-Jurjānī, al-Taʿrīfāt, line 319 ↗

  • التحقيق

    إثبات المسألة بدليلها.

    Al-taḥqīq (التحقيق, verification): the establishment of a proposition together with its proof.

    al-Jurjānī, al-Taʿrīfāt, line 1061 ↗

  • الجزئي الحقيقي

    ما يمنع نفس تصوره من وقوع الشركة، كزيد، ويسمى جزئيا؛ لأن جزئية الشيء إنما هي بالنسبة إلى الكلي، والكلي جزء الجزئي، فيكون منسوبا إلى الجزء، والمنسوب إلى الجزء جزئي، وبإزائه الكلي الحقيقي.

    Al-juz'ī al-ḥaqīqī (الجزئي الحقيقي, the real particular): that whose very conception precludes the occurrence of sharing [among many], such as 'Zayd'; it is called 'particular' (juz'ī) because the particularity of a thing is only in relation to the universal, and the universal is [as it were] a part of the particular, so it is attributed to 'part,' and what is attributed to 'part' is 'particular.' Opposite it is the real universal (al-kullī al-ḥaqīqī).

    al-Jurjānī, al-Taʿrīfāt, line 1528 ↗

  • الحقيقة

    اسم أريد به ما وضع له، فعيلة من: حق الشيء، إذا ثبت، بمعنى فاعلة، أي حقيق، والتاء فيه للنقل من الوصفية إلى الاسمية كما في العلامة، لا للتأنيث، وفي الاصطلاح: هي الكلمة المستعملة فيما وضعت له في اصطلاح به التخاطب احترز به عن المجاز، الذي استعمل فيما وضع له في اصطلاح آخر غير اصطلاح التخاطب، كالصلاة إذا استعملها المخاطب بعرف الشرع في الدعاء، فإنها تكون مجازا؛ لكون الدعاء غير ما وضعت هي له في اصطلاح الشرع؛ لأنها في اصطلاح الشرع وضعت للأركان والأذكار المخصوصة، مع أنها موضوعة للدعاء في اصطلاح اللغة.

    Al-ḥaqīqa (الحقيقة): a noun by which is intended what it was coined for; [it is on] the pattern fa'īla from 'ḥaqqa al-shay'' (it became established), in the sense of the active participle, i.e. ḥaqīq; the tā' in it serves to transfer it from being a [mere] adjective to being a substantive, as in al-'allāma, not for feminization. In technical usage: it is a word used in the sense for which it was coined according to the convention by which mutual address takes place — this excludes al-majāz (metaphor), which is a word used in a sense for which it was coined in a different convention than that of the current mutual address; for example, al-ṣalāh, if used by the speaker according to the convention of the [Islamic] Law to mean supplication, is majāz [in that context], since supplication is not what it was coined for in the Law's convention — for in the Law's convention it was coined for the specific pillars and litanies [of ritual prayer], even though it is coined for supplication in the linguistic convention.

    al-Jurjānī, al-Taʿrīfāt, line 1826 ↗

  • الحقيقة

    كل لفظ يبقى على موضوعه، وقيل: ما اصطلح الناس على التخاطب به.

    Al-ḥaqīqa: every expression that remains [used] according to what it was coined for; and it is [also] said to be: that which people have agreed by convention to use in mutual address.

    al-Jurjānī, al-Taʿrīfāt, line 1835 ↗

  • الحقيقة

    هو الشيء الثابت قطعا ويقينا، يقال: حق الشيء، إذا ثبت، وهو اسم للشيء المستقر في محله، فإذا أطلق يراد به ذات الشيء الذي وضعه واضع اللغة في الأصل، كاسم الأسد، للبهيمة، وهو ما كان قارا في محله، والمجاز ما كان قارا في غير محله.

    Al-ḥaqīqa: it is the thing established definitively and with certainty; it is said 'ḥaqqa al-shay'' meaning it became established. It is a noun for a thing settled in its [proper] place; so when used absolutely, what is meant by it is the essence of the thing which the coiner of the language originally assigned to it, such as the name 'al-asad' (the lion) for the beast — it being what is settled in its [proper] place; whereas al-majāz is what is settled in other than its [proper] place.

    al-Jurjānī, al-Taʿrīfāt, line 1836 ↗

  • حقيقة الشيء

    ما به الشيء هو هو، كالحيوان الناطق للإنسان بخلاف مثل: الضاحك، والكاتب، مما يمكن تصور الإنسان بدونه، وقد يقال: إن ما به الشيء هو هو باعتبار تحققه: حقيقة، وبامتياز تشخصه: هوية، ومع قطع النظر عن ذلك: ماهية.

    al-Jurjānī, al-Taʿrīfāt, line 1840 ↗

  • الحقيقة العقلية

    جملة أسند فيها الفعل إلى ما هو فاعل عند المتكلم، كقول المؤمن: أنبت الله البقل بخلاف: نهاره صائم، فإن الصوم ليس للنهار.

    al-Jurjānī, al-Taʿrīfāt, line 1844 ↗

ح ق ق

الحاء والقاف أصل واحد وهو يدل على إحكام الشيء وصحته فالحق نقيض الباطل ثم يرجع كل فرع إليه بجودة الاستخراج وحسن التلفيق ويقال حق الشيء وجب

ḥ-q: one root, which indicates the soundness and correctness of a thing; so al-ḥaqq is the opposite of al-bāṭil, and every branch returns to it with good derivation and fine connection; and it is said ḥaqqa al-shay' meaning it became necessary.

Ibn Fāris ↗Lisān ↗Quran ×287

an entry in Ibn Fārislater sources onlyin none of them

Do these six share one core meaning?

About thisal-Khalīl, Ibn Jinnī, Ibn Fāris; the counts across the dictionary

al-Khalīl (d. c. 170/786), Kitāb al-ʿAyn, as transmitted by al-Layth: a two-letter word “turns in two ways”, a three-letter word “in six ways” (masdūsa), four letters in 24, five in 120; “its used forms are written down and its unused ones dropped” (line 975 ↗). The dictionary is built on this: each chapter takes a set of letters and names which orders are used (mustaʿmal) and which unused (muhmal). The ring shows that verdict, from the chapter heading as edited (documented in the text; how much of the book is al-Khalīl's own is disputed).

A reported total. al-Suyūṭī transmits, from Ḥamza al-Iṣfahānī, that al-Khalīl put the possible forms, used and unused, of two to five letters at 12,305,412 (al-Muzhir, line 1347 ↗). It is reported, not found in the ʿAyn. It equals exactly the arrangements of 2 to 5 different letters out of 28 (756 + 19,656 + 491,400 + 11,793,600); the breakdown printed beside it is corrupt, and al-Zubaydī's count, given next, differs (6,659,400).

Ibn Jinnī (d. 392/1002), al-Khaṣāʾiṣ, names the greater derivation (al-ishtiqāq al-akbar): bind a three-letter root and its six orders to one meaning, and bring stray members back “by the subtlety of the craft and interpretation” (line 7536 ↗). He says himself that it does not hold for every root (line 167 ↗; line 7603 ↗).

Ibn Fāris (d. 395/1004) gives each root its own aṣl and treats a rearranged word as maqlūb, “turned round”, and so not a root of its own: “j-b-dh is not a root, because it is a single word, turned round” (Maqāyīs, line 6147 ↗). The ring sets his aṣl for each order side by side; whether they meet is the question.

Neighbours on the ring differ by one swap of two letters.

The critique. A source quoted by al-Suyūṭī calls the greater derivation Ibn Jinnī's innovation, “not relied on in the language” (al-Muzhir, line 6159 ↗).

The other axis. The root's letters also go into patterns that keep their order and change the frame: the patterns (awzān) and the verb Forms I–X.

Across Ibn Fāris's dictionary. Of the 2,300 possible sets of three different sound letters (no hamza, w or y), 1,021 have at least one order as an entry. How many of their six orders are entries:

Of the orders al-Khalīl calls used, 2,097 are entries in Ibn Fāris and 267 are not; 17 that he calls unused are entries in Ibn Fāris.

  • Classical lexiconAl-Khalīl defines ḥaqq as the opposite of bāṭil and ḥaqqa yaḥiqqu as 'to be binding' (wajaba).well attested

    The lexicographers in chronological order, from al-Khalīl to Lane.

    Al-Khalīl defines ḥaqq as the opposite of bāṭil and ḥaqqa yaḥiqqu as 'to be binding' (wajaba). He reads ḥaqīq in Q 7:105 as having the force of maḥqūq, 'bound, obliged', and defines ḥaqīqa as what the rightness and bindingness of a matter come to. Al-Jawharī adds ḥaqq as the singular of ḥuqūq (dues), ḥiqqa as the reality of a matter, the oath la-ḥaqqu lā ātīka, and ḥiqq, a camel entering its fourth year, 'named for its being fit (istiḥqāq) to be loaded'. Ibn Fāris reduces the root to firmness and soundness and derives from it the opposition to bāṭil, being binding, and ḥiqāq, rival claims to be more entitled. Al-Rāghib instead puts the origin in muṭābaqa, correspondence and fit, like a door pivot turning true in its socket. He applies ḥaqq first to God as the one who brings things into being according to wisdom, and then to what is brought into being in that way. Ibn Manẓūr adds the talbiya formula labbayka ḥaqqan ḥaqqan, 'not falsely', and Sībawayh's la-ḥaqqu annahu dhāhib. Lane, following al-Rāghib, glosses ḥaqqa as becoming suited to the requirements of wisdom, justice, truth or reality.

    What the theorists of sound symbolism would say of these letters. Speculative by nature.

    For al-Dabbāgh, ḥāʾ signifies encompassing and inclusion of everything, and qāf signifies acquisition of goods or of all lights. A symbolic reader could hear in ḥaqq 'what encompasses and is secured', but that is the reader's construction. The data give no entry for these letters from Ibn ʿArabī's treatment of the Breath. Ibn Jinnī links repetition of a consonant with repetition or intensity of meaning, which a reader might extend to the doubled qāf. He does not make this argument for ḥaqq specifically. Mainstream linguistics treats such correspondences as suggestive at most.

    The two-letter nucleus (Ibn Fāris's own chapters) and the permutations of the letters (Ibn Jinnī).

This is a juxtaposition only; it does not show that the roots share a meaning. Because the root is geminate, the only permutations are q-ḥ-q and q-q-ḥ, and both are unattested, so Ibn Jinnī's greater derivation has nothing to work on here.

    Cognates in the sister languages, and whether the word was borrowed.

    Hebrew ḥāqaq ('to cut in, inscribe, decree') and ḥōq / ḥuqqā ('statute, prescribed portion or due') are usually compared with Arabic ḥaqq. The shared ground is what is fixed and owed, which matches al-Khalīl's 'binding' and al-Jawharī's ḥaqq as a due. The Hebrew sense of engraving has no direct Arabic counterpart, so the semantic link goes through 'what is fixed', not 'truth'. No secure Akkadian or Geʿez cognate is claimed here. The Arabic word is native, not a loan.

    How the classical exegetes read the word in the Quran.

    In Q 10:32–33 God is 'your Lord, al-Ḥaqq', and 'thus the word of your Lord ḥaqqat'. The exegetes gloss the verb as 'became binding' or 'was confirmed' (wajabat, thabatat), and al-Rāghib cites the verse for ḥaqq as a name of God. In Q 2:26 the believers know the parable is 'the ḥaqq from their Lord', which is read as true and apt. Q 2:42 forbids clothing the ḥaqq with the bāṭil, the lexicographers' basic opposition. The elative aḥaqq is read as 'more entitled': husbands to take back their wives in Q 2:228, and the objectors who claim more right to kingship in Q 2:247. Al-Ḥāqqa (Q 69:1–3) is explained as the Hour whose occurrence is binding, or the day on which the realities of things are made evident.

  • Philosophy & kalāmAvicenna, in the Ilāhiyyāt of the Shifāʾ (I.8), gives three senses of ḥaqq: - existence in the concrete - permanent existence - the state of a statement or belief that corresponds to the thing (with ṣidq naming the same relation seen from the side of the statement) The Necessary Existent is the most ḥaqq of all.well attested

    The word as a technical term in falsafa and theology.

    Avicenna, in the Ilāhiyyāt of the Shifāʾ (I.8), gives three senses of ḥaqq: - existence in the concrete - permanent existence - the state of a statement or belief that corresponds to the thing (with ṣidq naming the same relation seen from the side of the statement) The Necessary Existent is the most ḥaqq of all. In kalām and uṣūl, ḥaqīqa means the literal sense of a word as opposed to majāz, and in logic and metaphysics it serves as a near-synonym of quiddity. Al-Rāghib's grounding of ḥaqq in correspondence (muṭābaqa) fits the Avicennan sense of truth as correspondence.

    The word in Ibn ʿArabī's text and terminology.

    The Faṣṣ Ādam opens with al-Ḥaqq, God as the Real, willing through His uncountable beautiful names to see their essences, and the same name is the subject of awjada al-ʿālam. The chapter also names ḥaqīqat al-ḥaqāʾiq, 'the reality of realities', as one of the sides to which the human's divine comprehensiveness refers, together with the divine presence and nature. In his Iṣṭilāḥāt, Ibn ʿArabī defines al-ḥaqīqa as the stripping away of the effects of one's own attributes by His attributes, so that He is the agent through you, in you and from you, not you, citing Q 11:56 ('there is no creature but He holds it by its forelock'). He defines ḥaqq al-yaqīn as the knowledge attained, through what is witnessed, of that for which it was intended. In his wider vocabulary ḥaqq is paired with khalq, and the muḥaqqiq is the one who has verified realities.
