1 سَمُحَ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (Msb, K,) inf. n. سَمَاحٌ and سَمَاحَةٌ and سُمُوحٌ and سُمُوحَةٌ and سَمْحٌ and سِمَاحٌ, (K,) He was, or became, liberal, bountiful, munificent, or generous; (S, * Msb, * K;) as also ↓ اسمح: (Msb, K:) but the unaugmented verb commonly known, but faultily omitted in the K, is سَمَحَ, aor. ـَ and this is the only one mentioned by IKtt and IKoot and a number of other authors: سَمُحَ, like كَرُمَ, means he became of the people of السَّمَاحَة [i. e. liberality, &c.]: (MF:) [but] سَمَحَ and ↓ اسمح both signify as above; he was, or became, liberal, &c.; and he gave from a motive of generosity and liberality: this is the correct explanation of both; though some say that the former only is used in this sense; and the latter, in relation to compliance and submissiveness. (L.) You say, سَمَحَ بِهِ, (S, A, Msb,) aor. ـَ inf. n. سَمَاحٌ and سَمَاحَةٌ (S, * A, * Msb) and سُمُوحٌ, (Msb,) He was liberal, bountiful, munificent, or generous, with it; (S, A, Msb;) and gave it; and complied therein with that which was desired of him; as also ↓ اسمح. (Msb.) [And سَمَحَ لَهُ He was liberal, &c., to him; as also ↓ اسمح; whence,] God is represented, in a trad., as saying, لِعَبْدِى ↓ أَسْمِحُوا كَإِسْمَاحِهِ إِلَى عِبَادِى Be ye liberal, &c., to my servant, [meaning Mohammad,] like as he is liberal, &c., to my servants. (L.) And سَمَحَ لِى, (S,) or لَهُ, (A,) He gave (S, A) to me, (S,) or to him: (A:) and بِكَذَا ↓ سَامَحَهُ he gave him such a thing. (Msb.) And سَمَحَ لِى بِذٰلِكَ, and ↓ اسمح, and ↓ سامح, He complied with my desire in that thing. (L: see also a similar phrase below.) b2: سَمَحَتْ, said of a she-camel, means She became submissive, and went quickly: (L:) and ↓ اسمحت said of a beast (دَابَّة), it became gentle and submissive after being refractory: (L, K: *) and in like manner ↓ اسمح; (A;) and ↓ سمّح, inf. n. تَسْمِيحٌ; (L;) said of a camel: (A, L:) or تَسْمِيحٌ signifies the going an easy pace: (S, L, K:) and the going quickly: (L, K:) or (so in the L, but in the K “ and ”) the act of fleeing. (L, K.) And ↓ اسمح It became easy and submissive. (L.) You say, قَرُونَتُهُ ↓ أَسْمَحَتْ, (S, A, K,) and قَرِينَتُهُ, as also ↓ سَامَحَتْ, (L,) His mind became submissive, (S, A, L, K,) لِذٰلِكَ الأَمْرِ to that thing. (L.) b3: سَمَحَ, inf. n. سَمَاحٌ; (L;) and ↓ سمّح, (Mgh, L,) inf. n. تَسْمِيحٌ; (L, K;) and ↓ سامح, (Mgh, L,) inf. n. مُسَامَحَةٌ; (S, A, L, K;) and ↓ اسمح, (Mgh,) and ↓ تسمّح; (L;) also signify He acted in an easy, or a gentle, manner; (S, A, Mgh, L, K;) and he made easy, or facilitated; (L;) فِى أَمْرٍ in an affair: (Mgh, L:) and ↓ مُسَامَحَةٌ signifies the acting in an easy, or a gentle, manner in a contest in thrusting, or piercing, with spears or the like, and smiting with swords, and running. (L.) It is said in a well-known trad., السَّمَاحُ رَبَاحٌ The acting in an easy, or a gentle, manner, in affairs, is a means of gain, or profit, to the performer thereof. (L.) And you say, فِى الأَمْرِ ↓ سامحهُ He acted in an easy, or a gentle, manner with him. (TK.) And سَمَحَ لَهُ and بِهِ, and ↓ اسمح, He made [a thing] easy to him. (L.) And اِسْمَحْ يُسْمَحْ لَكَ (Meyd, Mgh, L) and بِكَ, (L,) and يُسْمَحْ لَكَ ↓ أَسْمِحْ (Meyd, L) and بِكَ, (L,) a trad., (Mgh, L,) meaning Facilitate thou, and facilitation shall be rendered to thee: (As, Sh, L:) or act thou in an easy, or a gentle, manner, and easy, or gentle, treatment, shall be rendered to thee: (Mgh:) or be thou compliant, and compliance shall be rendered to thee. (Meyd.) And سَمَحَ لَهُ بِحَاجَتِهِ, and ↓ اسمح, He made easy to him the object of his want. (IAar, L: see also a similar phrase above.) b4: سَمَاحَةٌ (A, TA) and سُمُوحَةٌ, (TA,) [app. inf. ns. of which the verb is سَمُحَ,] in a branch, or rod, signify (tropical:) The being even and smooth, without any knots [or inequality of thickness: see سَمْحٌ]. (A, TA.) 2 سَمَّحَ see 1, in two places. b2: تَسْمِيحُ الرُّمْحِ means (assumed tropical:) The straightening, or making even, of the spear, (S, K, TA,) so as to render it smooth. (TA. [See 1, last sentence.]) 3 سَاْمَحَ see 1, in six places.4 أَسْمَحَ see 1, in all but four sentences.5 تَسَمَّحَ see 1, in the latter half of the paragraph: b2: and see also the paragraph here following, in two places.6 تسامحوا They acted in an easy, or a gentle, manner, one with another. (S, A, K.) b2: [Hence]

تَسَامُحٌ [as a conventional term in lexicology, or in relation to language,] is [A careless, or defective, manner of expression,] when the meaning of a sentence is not known, and, in order to its being understood, requires another word or phrase to be supplied: (KT:) [or the using a careless mode of expression, relying upon the understanding of the reader or hearer; as also ↓ تَسَمُّحٌ: or] a deficiency in what a speaker says, relying upon [the knowledge of] the person addressed. (Marginal note in a copy of the KT, subsigned سمع [app. to denote that the authority is Isma'eel Hakkee].) [See also تَسَاهُلٌ, which is often used as though it were syn. with تَسَامُحٌ.] b3: The primary meaning of تَسَامُحٌ and ↓ تَسَمُّحٌ is [said to be] The being wide, or ample: whence the phrase فِى الحَقِّ مَسْمَحٌ [expl. below]. (Msb.) 7 السمح [app. syn. with أَسْمَحَ, or perhaps a mistranscription for the latter word]: see اِنْسَجَحَ.

(S, K.) The dim. of سَمْحٌ is ↓ سُمَيْحٌ and ↓ سُمَيِّحٌ; (K;) but the latter is by some disallowed. (TA.) You say also, فُلَانٌ سَمْحٌ لَمْحٌ and لَمِيحٌ ↓ سَمِيحٌ [app. meaning Such a one is very liberal, &c.; for in each case the latter epithet is probably an imitative sequent, and therefore a corroborative]. (L.) b2: دَابَّةٌ سَمْحَةٌ [A beast that is submissive, or easy, or gentle: and probably also quick: see 1].

(TA.) b7: And مِلَّةٌ سَمْحَةٌ (assumed tropical:) A religion in which is no straitness (K, TA) nor difficulty.
