(S, O, K.) It is also said of any time that is extended; and of anxiety that cleaves to one continually; and the like: [see طُولٌ, below:] thus one says طَالَ اللَّيْلُ [The night became long, or protracted]: (TA:) [and thus طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الأَمَدُ, in the Kur lvii. 15, means The time became extended, or prolonged, unto them:] and عَلَيْهِمُ العُمُرُ ↓ تَطَاوَلَ, in the Kur xxviii. 45, means, in like manner, [Life was prolonged unto them; or] their lives became long, or prolonged: (Jel:) and طال المَجْلِسُ The time of the assembly was, or became, extended, or prolonged: (Msb:) and طال الهَمُّ [Anxiety became protracted]. (TA.) [One says also طَالَمَا فَعَلَ كَذَا Long time did he thus; and the like; with the restrictive ما: see Har p. 17.] -A2- When trans. [without a particle it is of the class فَعَلَ; not فَعُلَ, because this is not trans.: (TA:) one says طُلْتُهُ meaning I exceeded him, or surpassed him, in الطُّول [i. e. tallness; or I overtopped him]: and also in الطَّوْل [i. e. beneficence, and excellence, &c.]. (S, O, K.) See 3. A poet says, " إِنَّ الفَرَزْدَقَ صَخْرَةٌ عَارِيَةٌ طَالَتْ فَلَيْسَ تَنَالُهَا الأَوْعَالُ " [Verily El-Farezdak is a bare rock that has exceeded in height the mountain-goats so that the mountain-goats do not reach it]: he means طَالَتِ الأَوْعَالَ. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., فَطَالَ العَبَّاسُ عُمَرَ i. e. And El-'Abbás exceeded 'Omar in tallness of stature. (TA.) And you say, طَالَهُ فِى الحَسَبِ [He excelled him in the grounds of pretension to respect or honour].

(Msb, K.) And عَلَيْنَا بِشَىْءٍ ↓ تطوّل He gave to us a thing; like تَنَوَّلَ; but the latter is said by Aboo-Mihjen to be used only in relation to good; and the former, sometimes, in relation to good and to evil. (TA in art. نول.)

(TA, from a trad.) And [hence] طوّل لَهُ (inf. n. as above, S) He granted him a delay, or respite; (S, O, Msb, K;) said of God: (S:) and فِى ↓ المُطَاوَلَةُ الأَمْرِ means التَّطْوِيلُ فِيهِ; (Msb;) [i. e.] طاولهُ signifies he delayed, or deferred, with him, (S, O, K, TA,) فِى الأَمْرِ [in the affair], (S, O,) or فِى الدَّيْنِ [in the case of the debt] and العِدَةِ [the promise].

(TA.) ― -b5- تطاول عَلَيْهِ and ↓ استطال signify the same; (Az, S, O, Msb, K, TA;) He held up his head with a show of superiority over him; (Az, TA;) [i. e. he behaved haughtily, arrogantly, overweeningly, overbearingly, domineeringly, or proudly, towards him; domineered over him; or exalted himself above him;] or he overbore, overpowered, subdued, or oppressed, him: (Msb:) عليه ↓ استطال is also expl. as meaning he arrogated to himself excellence over him, syn. تَفَضَّلَ; (K, TA;) and exalted himself above him: (TA:) and عَلَيْهِمْ ↓ استطالوا as meaning they slew of them more than they [the latter] had slain (S, O, K) of them [the former]: (O:) and فِى عِرْضِ النَّاسِ ↓ الاِسْتِطَالَةُ occurs in a trad. as meaning the contemning of men, and exalting oneself above them, and reviling them, vilifying them, or detracting from their reputation.

[And likewise said, in the same sense, of the dawn, i. e., of the false dawn; in which case it is opposed to استطار: see مُسْتَطِيلٌ.] ― -b3- See also 6, in four places. -A2- This verb is also used, by Z and Bd, in a trans. sense; and استطالهُ, occurring in the “ Mufassal ” [of Z] is expl. as meaning عَدَّهُ طَوِيلًا [He reckoned it long, &c.]; and in like manner it is used by Es-Saad in the “ Mutowwal: ” but this usage is on the ground of analogy [only]; for, accord. to the genuine lexical usage, it is intransitive. (TA.)

[is originally an inf. n.: (see طَالَ عَلَيْهِ:) and, used as a simple subst.,] signifies Beneficence; and bounty: (S, TA:) and [a benefit, a favour, a boon, or] a gift.

(Mgh, TA.) In the phrase طَوْلُ الحُرَّةِ, the former word is originally the inf. n. of the verb in طَالَ عَلَيْهَا meaning “ he benefited her; ” because, when one is able to give the dowry of the free woman, and pays it, he benefits her: or, as some of the lawyers says, this phrase means The superabundance of the means of sustenance that suffices for the marrying of the free woman, agreeably with a saying of Az: or, as some say, طول means wealth, or competence; and the phrase is originally طَوْلٌ إِلَى الحُرَّةِ, i. e. ampleness of wealth such as supplies the means of attaining to the free woman: or originally طَوْلٌ عَلَى الحُرَّةِ, meaning power, or ability, for the marrying of the free woman: (Msb:) Esh-Shaabee is related to have used the phrase الطَّوْلُ إِلَى الحُرَّةِ; and in like manner are I'Ab and Jábir and Sa'eed Ibn-Jubeyr. (Mgh.) ذِى الطَّوْلِ in the Kur xl. 3 means The Possessor of all-sufficiency, and of superabundance, or of bounty: (O:) or the Possessor of power: or of bounty, and beneficence. (TA.) And أُولُو الطَّوْلِ مِنْهُمْ in the Kur ix. 87 means Those, of them, who are possessors of superabundance, and of opulence. (Bd.) ― -b3- See also طِوَلٌ, latter half, in two places.

(TA.) An ex. of the first of these words occurs in a verse of Tarafeh cited voce ثِنْىٌ. (S, O.) And it is said in a trad. that when a man of an army alights in a place, he may debar others from the extent of the طِوَل of his horse. (TA.) ― -b2- أَرْخَى لَهُ الطِّوَلَ [lit. meaning He relaxed, or slackened, to him the tether] means [also] (tropical:) he left him to his own affair. (A and TA in art. رخو.) ― -b3- And one says, طَالَ طِوَلُكَ and ↓ طِيَلُكَ and ↓ طِيلُكَ and ↓ طُولُكَ and ↓ طُوَلُكَ and ↓ طَوَالُكَ and ↓ طِيَالُكَ (ISk, S, O, K) and ↓ طَوْلُكَ (K) meaning (assumed tropical:) Thy life [has become long; or may thy life become long]: (ISk, S, O, K: [see also طِيلَةٌ:]) or thine absence: (S, K:) or (tropical:) thy tarrying, (A, K, TA,) and thy flagging in an affair. (A, TA.) Tufeyl says, " أَتَانَا فَلَمْ نَدْفَعْهُ إِذْ جَآءَ طَارِقًا فَٱنْزِلِ ↓ وَقُلْنَا لَهُ طَالَ طَوْلُكَ " meaning [He came to us, and we did not repel him since he came as a nightly visiter, and we said to him,] Thy case in respect of the length of the journey and the endurance of travel [has been long, therefore alight thou: or the right reading may be ↓ طُولُكَ, which is better known]: or, as some relate it, ↓ طِيلُكَ. (TA.) [It is also said that] طِوَلٌ is a pl. [or rather a coll. gen. n.] of which the sing. [or n. un.] is ↓ طِوَلَةٌ; and in like manner, ↓ طِيَلٌ, of ↓ طِيَلَةٌ. (TA.)
