(M.) [Hence,] سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَعْطَانِى بَذْلَ يَمِينِهِ I asked him, and he gave me what he was able to give. (TA.) [And بَذَلَ لَهُ نَفْسَهُ.

And بَذَلَ جَهْدَهُ, and مَجْهُودَهُ, (assumed tropical:) He exerted, or put forth, or expended, unsparingly, or freely, his power, or ability, or his utmost power or ability or endeavour: also of frequent occurrence.] And فَرَسٌ لَهُ صَوْنٌ وَ بَذْلٌ (tropical:) A horse that reserves a portion of his run, and is unsparing with a portion thereof; not putting forth the whole at once: (TA:) or that has a run which he reserves [for the time of need], and a run which he performs unsparingly: (A in art. شهد: see شَاهِدٌ:) and ↓ فَرَسٌ ذُو صَوْنٍ وَٱبْتِذَالٍ a horse that has a running pace (حُضْرٌ) which he has reserved for the time of need, and a run (عَدْوٌ) less quick which he has performed freely, or without reservation (قَدِ ٱبْتَذَلَهُ). (T.) [In the K these phrases are given in a mutilated state, and with a mutilated explanation.]) And صَوْنُهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَذْلِهِ (tropical:) His interior state, or disposition of mind, is better than his apparent state &c. (TA.) ― -b2- See also 8.

He neglected the preserving of himself or his honour or reputation [from disgrace]; i. q. تَرَكَ التَّصَاوُنَ (S) or التَّصَوُّنَ; (TA;) he was careless of himself or his honour or reputation; contr. of تَصَاوَنَ; (Msb in the present art,;) as also ↓ ابتذل. (Msb in art. صون.) You say, كَرُمَ وَ لَمْ يَتَبَذَّلْ [He was generous, and was not careless of his honour or reputation]. (M and L in art. وفر.) ― -b2- تبذّل فِى عَمَلِ كَذَا, and نَفْسَهُ فِيهِ ↓ ابتذل and بِهِ, He employed his own self in the doing of such a thing. (T.)

(Msb.) See also 5, in two places. You say also, ابتذل عَدْوَهُ (assumed tropical:) [He (a horse) performed his run freely, or without reservation; opposed to صَانَهُ]. (T.) See 1.

He sought, or demanded, of him a liberal, free, or willing, gift. (TA.) And اِسْتَبْذَلْتُ فُلَانًا شَيْيأًا I asked of such a one that he would liberally, freely, or willingly, give me a thing. (T.)

A thing that is given liberally, freely, or willingly: and inf. n. [or 1, q. v.], used as a proper subst.: pl. بُذُولٌ. (Har p. 206.)

: see what next follows, in two places.

A garment that is worn (T, S, Msb) in service, or work; (S, Msb;) that is not preserved, laid up, taken care of, or reserved; (T, M, K;) as also ↓ بَذْلَةٌ (Msb) and ↓ مبْذَلٌ, (T,) or ↓ مِبْذَلَةٌ, (S, M, K,) the pl. of which is مَبَاذِلٌ: (S:) and an old and worn-out garment; (TA;) as also ↓ مِبْذَلٌ and ↓ مِبْذَلَةٌ; (M, K;) the last of which is mentioned on the authority of AZ, but is disapproved by 'Alee Ibn-Hamzeh, who asserts it to be without ة: (IB, TA:) بِذْلَةٌ sometimes has بِذَلٌ as pl. (TA.) You say, ↓ جَآءَ نَا فُلَانٌ فِى مَبَاذِلِه, i. e. فِى ثِيَابِ بِذْلَتِهِ or ↓ بَذْلَتِهِ [Such a one came to us in his garments that he wore in service, or work]. (S, accord. to different copies. [I have shown that بِذْلَةٌ and بَذْلَةٌ are dial. vars., both as inf. ns. (see 8) and as proper substs.]) The word بَدْلَةٌ, with fet-h, and with the unpointed د, applied by the vulgar to [a suit of] new clothes, is a mistake for بِذْلَةٌ, and this is correctly a name for old and worn-out clothes. (TA. [But this is doubtful; for بَدْلَةٌ commonly signifies, in modern Arabic, a change of clothes; and hence, a suit of clothes, whether new or old.]) ― -b2- IJ uses it metaphorically, in relation to poetry; saying, الرَّجَزُ إِنَّمَا يُسْتَعَانُ بِهِ فِى البِذْلَةِ وَ عِنْدَ الاِعْتِمَالِ وَ الحُدَآءِ وَ المِهْنَةِ (tropical:) [The metre termed rejez is only used as an aid in the ordinary, or meaner, business of life, and on the occasion of doing one's work, and singing to camels for the purpose of urging them on, and performing service of any kind: but in this case it may be regarded as an inf. n.: see 8].
