And اَللَّهُمَّ ٱضْمُمْ نَشَرِى (assumed tropical:) O God, compose what is discomposed, or disorganized, [lit. bring together what is scattered,] of my affairs. (K * and TA in art. نشر.) And ضُمَّ جَنَاحَكَ عَنِ النَّاسِ (assumed tropical:) [Contract thy side from men;] meaning be thou gentle, courteous, easy to deal with, or compliant, to men. (TA.) And ضُمَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الأَنَامِلُ The ends of the fingers were drawn together upon it. (Ham p. 21. [See also a similar phrase in what follows, with the verb in the act. form, virtually meaning the same.]) ― -b2- [Also He compacted it: and he compressed it. ― -b3- And He, or it, comprised it; or enclosed it: and he grasped it: as also ضَمَّ عَلَيْهِ, in both of these senses.] You say, ضَمَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الأَنَامِلُ The ends of the fingers grasped it.

, (S, MA, K, TA,) inf. n. مُضَامَّةٌ, (TA,) He became, or drew, near, or close, to him; he became conjoined with him; (MA;) i. q. إِلَيْهِ ↓ انضمّ; (S, * MA, K; *) and ↓ تضامّ. (K.)

They became, or drew, near, or close, together, or one to another; or became conjoined, one with another. (S, MA, TA. [See also 8.]) Hence the saying in a trad., لَا تَضَامُّونَ فِى رُوأْيَتِهِ [originally تَتَضَامُّونَ]; but some relate it otherwise, saying ↓ لا تُضَامُّونَ; and some, لا تُضَامُونَ, from الضَّيْمُ; (TA in this art.;) and some, لا تُضَارُّونَ; and some, لا تُضَارُونَ, from الضَّيْرُ. (TA in art. ضر: for explanations, see 3 in that art.) See also 3 above. [Hence,] تضامّ فِى سُجُودِهِ وَجُلُوسِهِ [He drew himself together in his prostration and his sitting, in prayer].

And انضمّ عَلَيْهِ It became drawn together upon it. انضمّ الى كَذَا is expl. in the TA as meaning اِنْطَوَى: but I think that الى is evidently a mistranscription for عَلَى; and that the meaning therefore is, It infolded such a thing, or enclosed it, like اضطمّ عليه, q. v.]

He drew, brought, or gathered, the thing to himself: (K:) the ط is substituted for ت because of the ض. (Az, TA.) ― -b2- Hence, in a trad., اضطمّ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ [They drew near, or close, one to another]. (TA. [See also 6.]) And, in another trad., اضطمّ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ The people, or men, pushed, pressed, crowded, or thronged, together upon him.
