[1]
غَنِىَ , (S, MA, Msb, K, *) from
المَال, aor.
يَغْنَى, (Msb,) inf. n.
غِنًى (S, * MA, Msb, K *)
and
غَنَآءٌ, (MA, K, * TK, [but the latter is app.
held by some to be a simple subst.,])
He was, or
became, free from want; in the state, or
condition, of having no wants; and also,
of having
few wants; or
in a state of competence, or
sufficiency; or
rich, or
wealthy; الغِنَى being
the
contr. of
الفَقْرُ, as also
الغَنَآءُ; (K, TA;) and
thus denoting the absence, or non-existence, of
wants, which is [properly, or strictly speaking,]
attributable to none but God; and also the
paucity of wants; (TA;) or
syn. with اليَسَارُ:
(S:) and the epithet applied to him of whom
this is said is ↓
غَنِىٌّ, (S:) or ↓
غَانٍ, (Msb,) [or
both, for] both signify the same [as will be shown
below]. (K.) One says
غَنِىَ and ↓
استغنى and
↓
تغنّى and ↓
تغانى and ↓
اغتنى, (K, TA, [but
wanting in the CK, and app. in several copies of
the K, though it is said in one place in the K, as
it is in the S, that
تغنّى is syn. with
استغنى,])
all having one and the same meaning, and
followed by
بِهِ [as therewith signifying
He was,
or
became, free from want; in the state, or
condition, of having no want, or
need; or
in a state
of competence, &c.;
by means of it, or
him; i. e.
he was, or
became, sufficed by it, or
him; and
hence,
he was, or
became, content, or
satisfied,
with it, or
him]. (TA.) ↓
لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ
بِالقُرْآنِ, (Msb, TA,) a saying of the Prophet,
(Msb,) mentioned in a trad., (TA,) means
من لم
↓
يَسْتَغْنِ [i. e.
He is not of us who is not content,
or
satisfied, with the Kur-án]: so says Sufyán
Ibn-'Oyeyneh; not regarding it as meaning the
utterance of the voice [in chanting]: and A 'Obeyd
says that this obtains extensively in the speech of
the Arabs; that they say ↓
تَغَنَّيْتُ and ↓
تَغَانَيْتُ
in the sense of ↓
اِسْتَغْنَيْتُ. (Az, Msb, TA.)
And one says,
غَنِىَ عَنْهُ, inf. n.
غِنًى and
غُنْيَانٌ,
meaning
He was in no need of it [or
him]: as
also
استغنى ↓
عنه; and
أَغْنَى ↓
غنه [which
seems to be rarely used in this sense]: and
↓
غُنْيَةٌ signifies the
state of being in no need: and
↓
غَانٍِ, a man
free from need. (MA.) [And
مَا
يَسْتَغْنِى ↓
عَنْهُ He is not without need, or
not free
from want, of it, or
him.] And
غَنِىَ بِهِ عَنْهُ, (S,
Msb,) i. e.
عَنْ غَيْرِهِ, (Msb,) inf. n.
غُنْيَةٌ, (S,) or
↓
غُنْيَةٌ is the subst., (Msb,) meaning ↓
استغنى
[
He was sufficed by it, or
was satisfied, or
content, with it, so as to be in no need, or
so as to be
free from want, of it, i. e.
of another thing]: and
the epithet is ↓
غَنِىٌّ. (Msb.) And [in like
manner]
غَنِيَتِ المَرْأَةُ بِزَوْجِهَا (S, Msb, K)
عَنْ غَيْرِهِ,
(Msb,) inf. n.
غُنْيَانٌ (S, K) and
غَنَآءٌ also, (TA,)
meaning ↓
اِسْتَغْنَت [
The woman was satisfied, or
content, with her husband, so as to have no want
of other than him]. (S, K) And
غَنِيَتْ [alone],
(K, TA,) inf. n.
غِنًا [for
غِنًى, or perhaps a mistranscription for
غَنَآءٌ, as in the next preceding
sentence],
She (a woman)
was, or
became,
such as is termed غَانِيَةٌ [q. v. voce
غَانٍ].
(K.) ―
2-b2-
غَنِىَ, (TK,) inf. n.
غِنًى, (K, TK,) also
signifies
He married, or
took a wife; [as also
↓
تغنّى; (see Ham p. 226 l. 1, where
تَغَنَّتْ
occurs said of a woman as meaning
she married;)]
syn.
تَزَوَّجَ. (K, * TK. [In the K, only the
inf. n. of the former verb in this sense is mentioned;
الغِنَى being there expl. in some copies as
signifying
التَّزَوُّجُ; and in others,
التَّزْوِيجُ.])
Hence the saying,
الغِنَى حِصْنٌ لِلْعَزَبِ [
Marriage
is a bulwark to him who has no wife; protecting
him from the attacks of seductive women by
rendering him free from the want of them]:
mentioned by Az. (TA.) ―
2-b3- Also,
غَنِىَ, (S, K,)
inf. n.
غِنًى, (TA,)
He dwelt, or
abode, (S, K,)
بِالمَكَانِ in the place: (S:) or
غَنِىَ القَوْمُ فِى دَارِهِمْ
The people, or
party, dwelt long in their place of
abode: (T, TA:) or
غَنِىَ فِى مَكَانِ كَذَا He
dwelt long in such a place, satisfied, or
content,
therewith, so as to be in no need of any other.
(Er-Rághib, TA.)
كَأَنْ لَمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيهَا, in the Kur
[vii. 90 and xi. 71 and 98], means
As though
they had not dwelt therein. (TA.) [See also the
last sentence but two in this paragraph.] ―
2-b4- And
He lived; syn.
عَاشَ. (S, K.) ―
2-b5- And
I. q.
بَقِىَ: (TA:) one says,
غَنِيتُ لَكَ مِنِّى بِالمَوَدَّةِ,
meaning
بَقِيتُ [i. e.
I remained, or
have remained, constant to thee with my love, or
affection]. (ISd, K, TA: in the CK [erroneously]
غَنَيْتُ.) ―
2-b6- [And
I. q. كَانَ.]
قَدْ أَغْنَى الحَبِيبَ
المُصَافِىَ, in a verse of Ibn-Mukbil, means
أَكُونُ
الحَبِيبَ [i. e.
Certainly I will be, or
shall be, the
sincere friend]. (TA.) And
غَنِيَتْ دَارُنَا تِهَامَةَ,
(K, TA,) in a verse of another poet, (TA,)
means
كَانَتْ [i. e.
Our place of abode was
Tihámeh]. (K, TA.) And one says of a thing
when it has perished, passed away, or come to
nought,
كَأَنْ لَمْ يَغْنَ بِالأَمْسِ, meaning
كَأَنْ لَمْ
يَكُنْ [i. e.
As though it had not been in existence
yesterday]. (Az, TA.) ＝
1-A2-
غَنِىَ also signifies
لَقِىَ: (K:) [SM doubts this; saying,] thus in
the copies; but perhaps it should be
بَقِىَ, a
signification of
غَنِىَ accord. to ISd and the K
[and mentioned above]: (TA:) [it appears, however, to be correct; for it is said that]
مَا غَنِيتُ
فُلَانًا means
لَمْ أَلْقَهُ [i. e.
I did not meet, or
meet
with, or
find, or
I have not met, &c.,
such a one].
(JK.) [Accord. to the TK,
غَنِىَ followed by
بِهِ
signifies
لَقِى: but this is perhaps said conjecturally.]
