(Ksh, Bd;) عَجِلَ being made to imply, (Ksh,) or as though it were made to imply, (Bd,) the meaning of سَبَقَ, wherefore it is made trans. like this latter verb; (Ksh, Bd;) the phrase meaning أَعَجِلْتُمْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّكُمْ.

The perishing of the cattle, or property, prevented, or precluded, him from paying it], namely, the زَكَاة [or poor-rate]; which is an instance of the extension of the signification. (Mgh.) ― -b4- أَعْجَلَتْ said of the pregnant, (O,) or of a she-camel, (K,) [as though for اعجلت وَلَدَهَا,] She brought forth, (O,) or cast, (K,) her offspring before its maturity.

  • عِجْلٌ A calf
    A calf the young one of the بَقَرَة, (Aboo-Kheyreh, S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) [both domestic and wild, which latter is a bovine antelope,] from the time when his mother brings him forth (Aboo-Kheyreh, Mgh, TA) until a month old; (Aboo-Kheyreh, Mgh, Msb, TA;) after which [accord. to some] he is called بَرْغَزٌ, when about two months old; and then he is called فَرْقَدٌ: (Aboo-Kheyreh, TA:) or he is thus called while in the first year, then تَبِيعٌ, (S and Sgh and K in art. سلغ,) or, correctly, accord. to IB, he is called while in the first year عِجْلٌ and تَبِيعٌ, (TA in that art.,) then جَذَعٌ, then ثَنِىٌّ, then رَبَاعٍ, then سَدِيسٌ, then سَالِغُ سَنَةٍ and سَالِغُ سَنَتَيْنِ and so on: (S and Sgh and K ibid.:) the fem. is with ة: (Abu-l-Jarráh, S, O, Msb:) pl. of the masc. عِجَلَةٌ (Mgh, Msb) and عُجُولٌ (Msb, TA) and, of pauc., أَعْجِلَةٌ and أَعْجَالٌ; (IB, TA;) [and of the fem. عِجَلٌ;] but as to عِجَالٌ as a pl., [Mtr says,] I have not heard it: (Mgh:) and ↓ عِجَّوْلٌ signifies the same as عِجْلٌ; (S, Mgh, O, K;) fem. with ة; (TA;) and pl. عَجَاجِيلُ. (S, Mgh, O, K.)
  • عَجَلٌ Syn. with
    and ↓ عَجَلَةٌ, both inf. ns. of عَجِلَ [q. v.], (Mgh, Msb,) are Syn. with سُرْعَةٌ; (K;) contr. of بُطْءٌ: (S, O:) the latter is expl. by Th as signifying the seeking, and pursuing, or endeavouring after, a thing before its proper time, or season; and as proceeding from the desire of the soul; wherefore it is generally discommended in the Kur-án, so that it is said to be from the Devil. (TA.) It is said in the Kur [xxi. 38], خُلِقَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ مِنْ عَجَلٍ, meaning, it is said, Man is composed of haste; (O;) so says Fr, and in like manner says Aboo-Is-hák; (T, TA;) to denote the excess of this attribute in him: (T, O, TA:) or, accord. to Th, (TA,) the phrase is inverted, the meaning being, haste is created from man; (Msb, TA;) but IJ disapproves this explanation, and also another which will be mentioned in what follows. (TA.) -A2- عَجَلٌ signifies also Food that is hastily prepared, and brought, before the [meal called] غَدَآء has become matured. (TA.) [See also عُجَّالٌ.] -A3- Also Clay, or earth; syn. طِينٌ: (IAar, O, K:) or black mud, or black fetid mud; syn. حَمْأَةٌ: and ↓ عَجَلَةٌ has both of these meanings, i. e. طِينٌ and حَمْأَةٌ: (O, * K:) the former of these two significations of عَجَلٌ is said by AO to be of the dial. of Himyer; and IAar says that it is what is meant in the phrase in the Kur [xxi. 38] cited above; but Ibn-'Arafeh disapproves this; (O, TA;) and so does Az; and Er-Rághib says that some expl. it as meaning in this instance stinking black mud, but that their saying is nought. (TA.) -A4- See also عَجَلَةٌ, in four places.
