آلَ , aor.
يَؤُولُ, (T, S, M, &c.,) inf. n.
أَوْلٌ
(T, M, Mgh, Msb, K) and
مَآلٌ (M, K) and
إِيَالٌ, which last is used as a subst. in relation to
objects of the mind, (Msb,) and
أَيْلُولَةٌ [like
دَيْمُومَةٌ], (TA,)
He, or
it, returned; syn.
رَجَعَ;
(T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K;) and
عَادَ; (T;) [and
he resorted; (see an instance voce
إِلَيْهِ [(;
إِيَّلٌ to
it; (M, K;) namely a thing [of any kind; the thing,
or place, whence he, or it, originated, or came; his,
or its, origin, or source; his, or its, original state,
condition, quantity, weight, &c.; any place; and
a former action, or saying, or the like: see
رَجَعَ,
by which, as the explanation of
آلَ, may be meant
to be implied some other significations, here following, which these two verbs have in common]:
(M:) and
آلَ عَنْهُ he (a man, M)
returned,
or
reverted, from it. (M, K.) ―
2-b2- From
آلَ as
syn. with
رَجَعَ is the phrase,
فُلَانٌ يَؤُولُ إِلَى كَرَمٍ
[meaning either
Such a one returns to generosity,
or, as
كَرَمٌ is used in the sense of
كِرَامٌ,
is
referable to generous, or
noble, ancestors]. (TA.)
[And hence the phrase,]
آلَ إِلَيْهِ بِنَسَبٍ [
He bore
a relation to him, as a member to a head, by
kindred], and
بِدِينٍ [
by religion]. (Ibn-'Arafeh.)
And the saying, in a trad.,
مَنْ صَامَ الدَّهْرَ فَلَا
صَامَ وَلَا آلَ, i. e. (tropical:) [
He who fasts ever, or
always,
may he neither fast] nor return to what is good.
(TA.) [In the Mgh, art.
دهر, for
آل I find
أَفْطَرَ;
and it is there said that this is an imprecation
uttered by the Prophet, lest a man should believe
this kind of fasting to be ordained by God; or,
through impotence, should become insincere; or
because, by fasting all the days of the year, he
would do so on the days on which fasting is
forbidden. See other readings voce
أَلَا in art.
الو.]) ―
2-b3- Hence also the saying,
آلتِ الضَّرْبَةُ إِلَى
النَّفْسِ, meaning (assumed tropical:)
The blow, or
stroke, resulted
in destroying life; in slaying, or
killing. (Mgh.)
―
2-b4- Hence also,
آلَ الأَمْرُ إِلَى كَذَا [
The affair,
or
case, became ultimately reduced to such a state,
or
condition; came to such a result; came to
be thus]. (Msb.) ―
2-b5- Hence also,
طَبَخْتُ الشَّرَابَ
فَآلَ إِلَى قَدْرِ كَذَا I cooked the wine, or
beverage,
and it became reduced (
رَجَعَ)
to such a quantity.
(S.) And
طَبَخَهُ حَتَّى آلَ إِلَى الثُّلُثِ أَوِ الرُّبْعِ He
cooked it (namely
نَبِيذ [i. e. must, or mead, or
wort,])
until it became reduced (
رَجَعَ)
to the
third, or to the fourth: (T:) or, said of the
same, (Mgh,) or of medicine, (TA,)
حَتَّى آلَ
المَنَّانِ مَنًّا وَاحِدًا, (Mgh,) or
إِلَى مَنٍّ وَاحِدٍ, (TA,)
until twice the quantity, or
weight, of a مَنّ
became [
reduced to] (
صَارَ)
one مَنّ. (Mgh.) ―
2-b6-
[Hence also,
مَجَازُ الأَوْلِ The proleptic, or
anticipative, trope; as
فَصِيلٌ applied to “a young
camel” before it is weaned, because it is to be
weaned.] ―
2-b7- [And hence also, app.,]

became reduced in quantity or
size;]

became
defective, or
deficient. (M, K.) And

[written in the TA without any vowel-signs, app.
meaning (tropical:)

thy shoulders? lit.,
drawest thyself together to
thy two shoulder-blades?] is said [to a man]
إِذَا
ٱنْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِمَا وَٱجْتَمَعَ [when he draws himself together to them, and contracts himself]; and is
a tropical phrase: so says Z. (TA.) ―

it, preceded; went before; was,
or
became, before, beforehand, first, or
foremost;
(T, Msb, K;)
and came: (Msb:) with this, also,
وَأَلَ is syn.; and from it [says Az] is most probably derived
أَوَّلُ, so that its original form is
أَأْوَلُ:
[or, as Fei says,] hence is derived the phrase,
used by the vulgar,
العَشْرُ الأَوَّلُ with fet-h to the
hemzeh [as meaning “the first, or preceding, ten
(nights of the month),” for
الأُوَلُ, pl. of
الأُولَى,
fem. of
الأَوَّلُ; but this is generally regarded as
being originally
الأَوْأَلُ, from
وَأَلَ]. (Msb.) ＝
