* وَزُيَّفُ *

[Pieces of money whereof there are current and bad]: and Lḥ mentions the saying, لَمْ أَرَ النَّفَقَةَ تَجُوزُ بِمَكَانٍ كَمَا تَجُوزُ بِمَكَّةَ [I have not seen money for expenses pass away in a place as it passes away in Mekkeh]: ISd says, He has not explained it, but I think that the meaning is تَنْفُقُ.

اجازهُ He made him to go, or pass along; as alsoجَازَهُ↓: (TA:) he made him to pass through, or over, or along and beyond: (Ṣ, IF, Mṣb, Ḳ;) as also [جاوز↓ بِهِ, as will be shown by an ex. below, andجوّزهُ↓, and] جَازَهُ↓, for which we find جاوزهُ incorrectly substituted in the Ḳ. (TA.) A rájiz says,

* خَلُّوا الطَّرِيقَ عَنْ أَبِى سَيَّارَهْ *

* حَتَّى يُجِيزَ سَالِمًا حِمَارَهْ *

[Leave ye the road to Aboo-Seiyárah until he make his ass to pass through, or over, safely]. (Ṣ.)

(ISd, TA.) Andجوّز↓ الضَّرَّابُ الدَّرَاهِمَ, inf. n. تَجْوِيزٌ, [The coiner, or minter,] made the dirhems, or pieces of money, to pass, or be current. (Mgh.)

He made it, or held it, to be allowable, or to pass for lawful; he allowed it, or permitted it; (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA;) as alsoجوّزهُ↓: (Ṣ, TA:) syn. سَوَّغَ: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) and syn. of إِجَازَةٌ, [the inf. n. of the former verb,] إِذْنٌ. (Ḳ, TA: omitted in the CK.) You say, اجاز لَهُ مَا صَنَعَ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,*) andجوّز↓ له, (Ṣ,) He made, or held, what he did to be allowable,, &c. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) Andهٰذَا مِمَّا لَا يُجُوِّزُهُ↓ العَقْلُ [This is of the things which reason will not allow]. (A, TA.)

[He granted him the authority or degree of a licentiate in some one or more of the various departments of learning, for the instruction of others therein;] he granted him a license with respect to the matters that he had related and heard [from other learned men, to teach the same]. (TA.) You say also, اجاز لِفُلَانٍ جَمِيعَ مَسْمُوعَاتِهِ مِنْ مَشَائِخِهِ [He ters which he had heard from his sheykhs, to teach the same to others]. (TA.) The licentiate is termed مُجَازٌ↓: and the matters which he relates are termed مُجَازَاتٌ↓. (TA.)

اجاز البَيْعَ, (A, Mgh, Ḳ,) and النِّكَاحَ, (A, Mgh,) and العَقْدَ, (Mṣb,) He (the judge, A, Mgh) made the sale, (A, Mgh, Ḳ,) and the marriage, (A, Mgh,) and the contract, (Mṣb,) to have effect; he executed or performed it; (Mgh, Mṣb Ḳ;) لَهُ for him: (Ḳ:) he decreed it. (Mgh.) And [in like manner] اجاز رَأْيَهُ, andجوّزهُ↓, He made his judgment, or opinion, to have effect; he executed or performed it. (Ḳ.) Hence the saying, in a trad. of Aboo-Dharr, قَبْلَ أَنْ يُجَيزُوا عَلَىَّ, i. e., Before they slay me, and execute your order upon me. (TA.)

أَجَازَنِى (Ṣ, Ḳ *) ‡ He gave me water for, (Ṣ,) or he watered [for me], (Ḳ,) my land, or my beasts. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) Andجوّز↓ إِبِلَهُ, (Ḳ,) inf. n. تَجْوِيزٌ, (TA,) He watered his camels. (Ḳ.) And اجاز الوَفْدَ He gave to the party who came as envoys, or the like, the quantity of water sufficient to pass therewith from one watering-place to another. (TA.) And أَجَازَهُ مَآءً يَجُوزُ بِهِ الطَّرِيقَ † He gave him water wherewith to travel the road. (A.) And أَجِزْنِى مَآءً Give thou me some water that I may go my way, and pass from thee. (Aboo-Bekr, TA.)

Hence, (Aboo-Bekr, TA,) اجازهُ بِجَائِزَةٍ, (Aboo-Bekr, TA,) and اجازهُ بِجَائِزَةٍ سَنِيَّةٍ, (Ṣ, A,) † He (the Sultán) gave him a gift, or present, (Aboo-Bekr, TA,) and he gave him a gift, or present, of high estimation. (Ṣ, A.*) Or the origin of the expression was this: Katan the son of 'Owf, of the tribe of Benoo-Hilál-Ibn-'Ámir-Ibn-Saasa'ah, gave the government of Fáris to ʼAbd-Allah Ibn-ʼAbbás; and El-Ahnaf passing by him with his army on an expedition to Khurásán, he waited for them upon a bridge, and said, أَجِيزُوهُمْ [Make ye them to pass over]; and he began to mention the lineage of each man and to give him according to his rank: (Ṣ:) or from the fact that a certain commander, having a river between him and an opposing force, said, مَنْ جَازَ هٰذَا النَّهْرَ فَلَهُ كَذَا [Whoso passeth this river shall have such a thing]; and whenever one passed over, he received a جَائِزَة. (TA.) You say also, أَجَازَهُ, meaning † He gave him. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., أَجِيزُوا الوَفْدَ بِنَحْوِ مَا كُنْتُ أُجِيزُهُمْ بِهِ Give ye to the party who come as envoys, or the like, a similar جَائِزَة to that which I used to give them. (TA.)

تجوّز اللَّيْلُ The darkness of the night cleared away. (A.)

تجوّز فِى صَلَاتِهِ He relaxed, or remitted, in his prayer; (Ṣ, A, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ, TA;) and so in other things; (A;) and abridged it; and was quick in it: said to be from الجَوْزُ “the act of traversing, and going, or passing along:” (TA:) or did less than was sufficient in it. (Mṣb.)

Hence, تجوّز فِى أَخْذِ الدَّرَاهِمِ, (A, Mgh,) or تجوّز الدَّرَاهِمَ, (Ḳ,) He accepted the dirhems, or pieces of money, as current; did not reject them: (A, Mgh:) see 1: or he accepted them as they were, or notwithstanding what was in them: (Lth, TA:) or he accepted them notwithstanding what was intermixed with them, (Ḳ, TA,) [of bad money,] concealed therein, and notwithstanding their fewness. (TA.) In the phrase التَّجَوُّزُ بِدُونِ الحَقِّ [The accepting less than what was due], the inf. n. is made trans. by means of بِ because it implies the meaning of الرِّضَا [which is made trans. by the same means]. (Mgh.) تَجَاوَزْ↓ also occurs in the sense of تَجَوَّزْ in a trad. of Ibn-Rawáhah: هٰذَا لَكَ وَتَجَاوَزْ فِى القَسْمِ This is thine, or for thee, and be thou remiss, or not extreme, in, or with respect to, the division: and is allowable, though we have not heard it. (Mgh.) You say also, تَجَوَّزَ فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ مَا لَمْ يَتَجَوَّزْ فِى غَيْرِهِ He bore patiently, or with silence and forgiveness, and with feigned neglect, or connivance, in this affair, or case, what he did not so bear in another. (Ḳ,* TA.)

See also 6, in three places.

تجوّز فِى كَلَامِهِ He made use of a trope, or tropes, in his speech. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) [See مَجَازٌ, below.]

تجاوزهُ: see 1, first sentence: and see also 3.

تجاوز i. q. أَفْرَطَ, [i.e., جاوز الحَدَّ, explained above,] فِيهِ in it, or with respect to it. (Ḳ. See 3.)

تجاوز عَنْهُ, (Ṣ, A, Mgh, Mṣb,) andتجوّز↓; (Ṣ, A, Mgh;) and تجاوزعَنْ ذَنْبِهِ, (A, Ḳ,) andتجوّز↓, andجاوز↓; (Ḳ;) He (God, Ṣ, A, or a man, Mṣb) passed him by, or over, without punishing him; or forgave him; (Ṣ, A, Mgh, Mṣb;) namely, an evil-doer; (A, Mgh, Mṣb;) and He passed by, or over, without punishing, or forgave, his sin or offence. (A, Ḳ.*) You say, اَللّٰهُمَّ تَجَاوَزْ عَنِّى, andتَجَوَّزْ↓ عَنِّى, O God, pass me by, or over, without punishing me; or forgive me. (Ṣ, A.) تجاوز عَنْهُ, followed by a noun in the accus. case, also signifies He forgave him a thing. (L.) And the same alone, He feigned himself neglectful of it; he connived at it. (Ḳ.)

[Also, this last phrase alone, He transcended it.]

تَجَاوَزْ فِى القَسْمِ: see 5.

استجازهُ He asked, or demanded, of him permission. (Ḳ,* TA.)

[This is also called مَجَازٌ لُغَوِىٌّ, and مَجَازٌ لُغَةً; to distinguish it from what is termed مَجَازٌ عُرْفِىٌّ, and مَجَازٌ عُرْفًا, which is A word, or phrase, so little used in a particular proper sense as to be, in that sense, conventionally regarded as tropical; as, for instance, دَابَّةٌ in the sense of “a man,” or “a human being;” it being commonly applied to “a beast,” and especially to “a horse” or “a mule” or “an ass.”] A حَقِيقَة, when little used, becomes what is termed مَجَازٌ عُرْفًا. (Mz, 24th نوع.) The مَجَاز is either what is termed اِسْتِعَارَةٌ [i. e. a metaphor] (as أَسَدٌ used as meaning “a courageous man”), or مَجَازٌ مُرْسَلٌ [a loose trope] (as يَدٌ used as meaning “a benefit,” “benefaction,” “favour,” or “boon”). (KT, &c.) [مَجَازٌ also signifies A tropical meaning.]

مُجِيزٌ A commissioned agent of another; an executor appointed by a will; syn. وَكِيلٌ, and وَصِىّ; because he executes what he is ordered to do: so in the conventional language of the people of El-Koofeh: (Mgh:) or a slave who has received permission to traffic. (Mgh, Ḳ.)

You say, هٰذِهِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ لَيْسَ لَهَا مُجِيزٌ [This is a woman who has no guardian and affiancer]: and Shureyh is related to have said, إِذَا أَنْكَحَ ٱلْمُجِيزَانِ فَالنِّكَاحُ لِلْأَوَّلِ [When the two guardians and affiancers give a woman in marriage, the marriage is the former's]. (TA.)
