وَكَأَيِّنْ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ قَاتَلَ مَعَهُ رِبِّيُّونَ كَثِيرٌ فَمَا وَهَنُوا لِمَا أَصَابَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَمَا ضَعُفُوا وَمَا اسْتَكَانُوا ۗ وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الصَّابِرِينَ

Arabic–English, 1863–93 · 6 entries
  • كَانَ Form I Zeyd was standing
    He or it was. A verb of the class called incomplete, (نَاقِصٌ) because, with the agent which it comprises, or to which it relates, it cannot constitute a complete proposition; i. e., non-attributive. The other verbs of this class are, ظَلَّ أَضْحَى أَمْسَى أَصْبَحَ صَارَ, مَا دَامَ مَاٱنْفَكَّ مَا فَتِيأَ مَابَرِحَ مَا زَالَ بَاتَ, and لَيْسَ. Each of these governs its noun, or subject, in the nom. case, and its enunciative, or predicate, in the acc. case; as, كَانَ زَيْدٌ قَايأِمًا Zeyd was standing. ― -b2- (The ن in يَكُنْ and the like is often irregularly elided.) ― -b3- كَانَ, divested of all signification of time. is often used as a copula. (See De Sacy 's Gr. Ar. i. 196.) So too is كَايأِنٌ; for هٰذَا زَيْدٌ and هٰذَا كَايأِنٌ زَيْدًا signify the same. (Mughnee, voce أَنَّ.) ― -b4- كَانَ as a complete, i. e., an attributive, verb, see حَصَلَ. in three places.
  • تَكَوَّنَ Form V He, or it, received, or took, his, or its, being, or existence
    He, or it, received, or took, his, or its, being, or existence; came into existence; originated.
  • اِسْتَكَانَ Form X He was, or became lowly, humble, submissive, or in a state of abasement
    He was, or became lowly, humble, submissive, or in a state of abasement. (Har, p. 4, q. v.) See اِسْتَكَنَ in art. سكن: and see art. كين.
  • نَعُوذُ بِاللّٰهِ من الحَوْرِ بَعْدَ الكَوْنِ Open entry
    : see حَوْرٌ and كَوْرٌ.
  • كَيْنُونَةٌ Open entry
    :see شَاخَ.
  • مَكَانَةٌ A particular place of being or existence
    A particular place of being or existence. See an ex. voce نَفْسٌ. ― -b2- مَكَانَكَ وَزَيْدًا [Keep where thou art and approach not Zeyd!] Heard by Ks. (L, art. عند.) ― -b3- State, or condition. [Bd, xi. 122, and xxxix. 40.) See art. مكن. ― -b4- مَكَانٌ i. q. مَنْزِلَةٌ. (Bd, xii. 77.) ― -b5- هٰذَا مَكَانٌ لِقَوْلِنَا كَذَا This is a ground for our saying thus. ― -b6- أَصْبَحَ مَكَانَ كَذَا It became as, or like, such a thing. See a verse cited voce رَتْمٌ.
