بُلُوغٌ [inf. n. of
بَلَغَ] and
إِبْلَاغٌ [inf. n. of
↓
ابلغ, but it seems that
ابلاغ is here a mistranscription for
بَلَاغٌ, which is, like
بُلُوغٌ, an inf. n.
of
بَلَغَ, and this observation will be found to be
confirmed by a statement immediately following
this sentence,] signify The
reaching, attaining,
arriving at, or
coming to, the utmost point of
that to which, or
towards which, one tends or
repairs or
betakes himself, to which one directs
his course, or
which one seeks, pursues, endeavours
to reach, desires, intends, or
purposes; whether
it be a place, or a time, or any affair or state
or event that is meditated or intended or determined or appointed: and sometimes, the
being
at the point thereof: so says Abu-1-Kásim in the
Mufradát. (TA: [in which it is said, in the
supplement to the present art., that
بَلَاغٌ signifies
The
reaching, attaining, arriving at, or
coming
to, a thing.]) You say,
بَلَغَ المَكَانَ, (S, K,) and
المَنْزِلَ, (Msb,) [aor.
يَبْلُغُ ,] inf. n.
بُلُوغٌ (S, K) [and
بَلَاغٌ, as shown above],
He reached, attained,
arrived at, or
came to, (S, Msb, K,)
the place,
(S, K,) and
the place of abode: (Msb:) and (so in
the S, but in the K “ or, ”)

K.)
فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَ, in the Quran [ii. 232], means

And when they are near to attaining, or
ending, their term: (S, TA:) or

TA.) It has the first of the meanings explained
above in the phrase,

&c.]. (TA.) And in

place [xix. 9],
وَ قَدْ بَلَغْتُ مِنَ الكِبَرِ عُتِيًّا [
And I
have reached the extreme degree of old age: so
explained in the Expos. of the Jel]: phrases like
أَدْرَكَنِىَ الجَهْدُ and

You say also,
لَزِمَهُ ذٰلِكَ بَالِغًا ↓
مَا بَلَغَ with the
accus. case as a denotative of state; meaning
[
That clave to him, or
adhered to him, &c.,]
rising to its highest degree or
point; from
بَلَغَ
المَنْزِلَ, explained above. (Msb.) [But
بَالِغًا ↓
مَا بَلَغَ
more frequently means
Whatever point, degree,
amount, sum, quantity, number, or
the like, it
may reach, attain, arrive at, come to, or
amount
to.] And ↓

شَقَّ عَلَيْهِ, i. e.
He, or
it, jaded him, harassed him, &c.;
ditressed him, afflicted him, oppressed him, overpowered him: thus in each of these instances, as
in many similar cases, the verb with the inf. n.
that follows is equivalent to the verb of that
inf. n.]. (Msb in art.
جهد.) [And, elliptically,
بَلَغَ مِنْهُ i. q. بَلَغَ مِنْهُ المشَقَّةَ , explained above:

been related to me, or
been
told me; or
it came to my knowledge, &c.: and
in this case it is generally followed by

أَنَّ: for exs., see these two
particles. And in like manner,
بَلَغَنِى عَنْهُ Information has come to me, or
information came to me,

happened, or had happened.] And

degree of goodliness (
بَلَغَ مِنَ الجَوْدَةِ مَبْلَغًا): (O,
TA:) as though he attained the time of the writing
of his marriage-contract, and of his having duties
or obligations imposed upon him: (TA:) and
in like manner one says of a girl,
بَلَغَ, (T, TA,)
or
بَلَغَتْ. (TA.) ―
2-b2-
بَلَغَ ٱللّٰهُ بِهِ [
God caused him
to reach, attain, arrive at, or
come to, his appointed
end, or

بَلَغَ ٱللّٰهُ بِكَ أَكْلَأَ العُمُرِ,
i. e. [

attain,]
the extreme, or

بَلُغَ, [aor.
يَبْلُغُ ,] (S,
Msb, K,) inf. n.
بَلَاغَةٌ, (S, Msb,)
He was, or
became بَلِيغ, i. e.
فَصِيح [more properly signifying
chaste, or
perspicuous, in speech, but here
meaning
eloquent]; (S, * Msb, K;) and
sharp,
or
penetrating, or
effective, in tongue; (Msb;)
attaining, by his speech, or
diction, the utmost
scope of his mind and desire. (K, * TA.) The
difference between
بَلَاغَةٌ and
فَصَاحَةٌ is this: that
the latter is an attribute of a single word and of
speech and of the speaker; but the former is an
attribute only of speech and the speaker: (Kull:)
بلاغة in the speaker is
A faculty whereby one is
enabled to compose language suitable to the exigency of the case, i. e.,
to the occasion of speaking
[
or writing],
with chasteness, or
perspicuity, or
eloquence, thereof: in language, it is
suitableness
to the exigency of the case, i. e.,
to the occasion
of speaking [or
writing],
with chasteness or
perspicuity, or
eloquence, thereof. (KT.)
