impurity, uncleanliness

, aor. ; (S, Msb, K;) and نَجَسَ, aor. ; (Msb;) and نَجُسَ, aor. , (K,) accord. to some, but the books of good repute are silent respecting this last; (Msb;) inf. n. نَجَسٌ, (S, Msb, TA,) of the first; (Msb;) and نَجَاسَةٌ, (TA,) or this last is a simple subst. [as the verb نَجُسَ to which by rule it should belong is not of good authority]; (Msb;) It was, or became, unclean, dirty, filthy, or impure; (Msb;) [i. e.,] contr. of طَهَرَ, or طَهُرَ: (Msb, K: *) نَجَاسَة is of two kinds; one kind is perceived by sense; and one kind is perceived by the mind; of which latter kind is that which is attributed, in the Kur, ix. 28, to those who assert God to have associates: (Er-Rághib, B:) but in this latter sense, it is said by Z, to be tropical. (TA.) [See also نَجَاسَةٌ below.] You also say, (of a garment, A, Msb,) ↓ تنجّس, meaning, It was, or became, rendered unclean, dirty, filthy, or impure. (A, Msb, K.) -A2- نَجْسٌ, [app. an inf. n. of which the verb is نَجَسَ,] The making a child's عُودَة [or amulet, of any of the kinds described below, voce تَنْجِيسٌ]. (TA.)

, (S, A, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَنْجِيسٌ, (TA,) He rendered him, or it, unclean, dirty, filthy, or impure; (A, Msb, K;) and ↓ انجسهُ signifies the same. (S, A, K.) El-Hasan said of a man who married a woman with whom he had committed fornication, فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا ↓ هُوَ أَنْجَسَهَا [He defiled her, therefore he is most worthy of her]. (A, TA. *) ― -b2- نَجَّسَتْهُ الذُّنُوبُ (tropical:) [Sins, or crimes, defiled him]. (A, TA.) -A2- نجّس لَهُ, and نجّسهُ, He charmed him; or fortified him by a charm or an amulet [of any of the kinds described below, voce تَنْجِيسٌ, q. v.]; syn. عَوَّذَهُ. (TA.)

: see نَجِسَ. -A2- He did a deed whereby to become free from uncleanness, dirt, filth, or impurity; (K;) like as you say تَأَثَّمَ and تَحَرَّجَ and تَحَنَّثَ, meaning, he did a deed whereby to become free from crime, sin, &c. (TA.)

and ↓ نَجَسٌ (S, A, O, Msb, K) and ↓ نَجُسٌ and ↓ نَجْسٌ and ↓ نِجْسٌ (A, O, K) Unclean, dirty, filthy, or impure: (A, Msb, K:) the last of these is only used when the word is preceded or followed by رِجْسٌ: (ISd:) or only when it is preceded by رِجْسٌ: (Fr, S, * and Har in the Durrat-el-Ghowwás:) but this remark correctly applies only to the greater number of instances: (M, F:) the second of the above five forms is an inf. n. used as an epithet; (A, Msb;) and is [therefore] used as sing. and dual. and pl. and masc. and fem., without variation: (TA:) [and the first and last are also used as pls., as will be seen below; but when so used, I suppose قَوْمٌ or some other coll. gen. n. to be understood:] the pl. [of every one of the other forms] is أَنْجَاسٌ (A, Msb, TA) and [of the fourth and fifth, and perhaps of the first and third also, though I do not remember similar instances,] نِجْسَةٌ. (TA.) [See also نَجَاسَةٌ, below.] نَجِسٌ and ↓ نَجْسٌ [&c.], applied to a man, signify Unclean, &c., [both properly and tropically]. (TA.) [The two following examples are said in the A to be tropical.] النَّاسُ أَجْنَاسٌ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ أَنْجَاسٌ (tropical:) [Men are of several kinds, and most of them are unclean.] (A, TA.) And إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ (tropical:) [Verily the associaters of others with God are but unclean], said in the Kur, [ix. 28,] (S, A, TA,) or نَجِسٌ, or ↓ نِجْسٌ, accord. to certain readers. (TA.) -A2- Also, all the above forms, A man having an incurable disease. (TA.) ― -b2- See also نَاجِسٌ.
