عمل
1 عَمِلَ,
aor. ـَ
inf. n. عَمَلٌ, (
S,
O,
Msb,
K,) He worked, or wrought; laboured; served, or did service: he did, acted, or performed: (
K,
TA:) [generally, he did, &c., with a sort of difficulty, or with intention; but sometimes said of an inanimate thing: (see عَمَلٌ, below:)] he did, or he made, wrought, manufactured, or constructed, a thing. (
Msb. [See, again, عَمَلٌ, below.])
Accord. to
Az, عَمِلَ is the only
trans. verb of its measure having the
inf. n. of the measure فَعَلٌ, except هَبِلَت, said of a mother,
inf. n. هَبَلٌ; other similar verbs having the
inf. n. of the measure فَعْلٌ; as سَرِطْتُ اللُّقْمَةَ,
inf. n. سَرْطٌ; and بَلِعْتُهُ,
inf. n. بَلْعٌ. (
TA. [But see arts. سرط and بلع; with respect to the former of which I must here state that, since it was printed, I have found an authority for سَرْطٌ as
inf. n. of سَرِطَ in a copy of the
S; though in the
K it is said to be مُحَرَّكَة, and
accord. to the
Msb it is like تَعَبٌ.]) You say, عَمِلْتُ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ I officiated in the collecting of the poor-rate. (
Msb.) [And عَمِلَ بِمَا فِى كِتَابِ اللّٰهِ He did according to what is enjoined in the Book of God.] and عَمِلَ فِى هَلَاكِهِ [He laboured to destroy him, or to kill him]. (
K in art. شيط.) [And عَمِلَ فِيهِ It acted upon him, or it: and, said of a sword &c., it had effect, or made an impression, upon him, or it.]
b2: [Hence,] عَمِلَ فِيهِ signifies [also (assumed
tropical:) It governed it syntactically; or caused it to be مَرْفُوع or مَنْصُوب or مَجْرُور &c.; i. e.] it produced in it a certain species of syntactical desinence. (
K.)
b3: And عَمِلَ البَرْقُ The lightning was continual. (
K.) And عَمِلَتْ بِأُذُنَيْهَا, said of a she-camel, (
K,) and also, in a
trad., of [the beast]
البُرَاق, (
O, *
TA,) She went quickly, or swiftly; (
O,
K,
TA;) because she that does thus puts her ears in motion by reason of the vehemence of the pace. (
TA.) And عَمِلَت [alone] said of a she-camel, signifies [the same: or] She was, or became, brisk, light, active, or quick. (
K.)
b4: and [hence,
app.,] لَمْ أَرَ النَّفَقَةَ تَعْمَلُ كَمَا تَعْمَلُ بِمَكَّةَ, a saying mentioned by
Lh, is
expl. by
ISd as meaning تَنْفَقُ [i. e. I have not seen the money that that one expends pass away as it passes away in Mekkeh]. (

O,) or over the province, or city, &c. (
Msb.) And عُمِّلَ فُلَانٌ عَلَيْهِمْ,
inf. n. as above, Such a one was made, or appointed, governor over them. (
K,
TA.) And one says, مَنَ الَّذِى عُمِّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ Who is he that has been set up as governor over you? (
TA.) And فُلَانٌ ↓ اُسْتُعْمِلَ [Such a one was employed as governor over a people: (see a saying of 'Omar in art. ضعف,
conj. 2:) or] such a one was appointed to one of the sovereign's offices of government. (
TA.)
b2: And عمّلهُ, (
Mgh,
O,
K,)
inf. n. as above, (
K,) He gave him his عُمَالَة, or pay, or salary, for work, service, or agency; (

K;) as also ↓ اعملهُ. (
TA.) 3 عاملهُ [He worked, laboured, served, acted, or transacted business, with him. Hence,] He dealt with him in buying and selling, (
Msb,
KL,) and the like: so in the language of the people of the cities. (
Msb.) See also 6. [And hence the saying, عاملهُ مُعَامَلَةَ اللَّيْثِ (mentioned in the
S in art. ليث) He did, acted, or dealt, with him in the manner of the lion.]
b2: And
i. q. سَامَهُ بِعَمَلٍ
[He made to him an offer of working, mentioning the rate of payment; or bargained, or contracted, with him for work]. (
K.)
Sgh says that المُعَامَلَةُ in the language of the people of El-'Irák is what is termed in the
dial. of the people of El-Hijáz المُسَاقَاةُ, (
Msb,) which is The employing a man to take upon himself, or manage, the culture' [or watering &c.] of palm-trees or grape-vines [or the like] on the condition of his having a certain share of their produce. (

Msb.) And one says also, يُعْمِلُ نَفْسَهُ فِى الأَمْرِ [He plies himself in the affair]. (
S in art. عسم.)
b2: And [hence,] He worked with it, [i. e. employed it, or used it, or plied it,] namely, his judgment, or opinion, and [properly] his instrument, or implement, (
K,
TA,) and his tongue; (
TA;) as also ↓ استعملهُ. (
K,
TA.) And أَعْمَلَ ذِهْنَهُ فِى كَذَا وَكَذَا [He employed, or used, his intellect, or understanding, in such and such things;] meaning he considered, or forecast, the issues, or results, of such and such things with his intellect, or understanding. (
TA.)

trad., لَا تُعْمَلُ المَطِىُّ إِلَّا إِلَى ثَلَاثَةِ مَسَاجِدَ, meaning [The camels that are used for riding] shall not be hastened nor urged [or plied, save to three mosques; that of Mekkeh, that of El-Medeeneh, and that of ElAksà at Jerusalem: see also a variation of this saying in the first paragraph of art. ضرب; and another

A3: أَعْمَلْتُ الرُّمْحَ means I thrust, or pierced, with the عَامِل [

(
IAth,
TA.)
b2: [And اعتملهُ signifies also He employed him, or used him, for work, or service; like استعملهُ: but is perhaps
post-classical.]

الجَالَّةِ [Such a one was employed as collecter of the poll-tax]. (

K in explanation of تَبَالَهَ and تَبَلَّهَ. See also a similar
ex. voce تَحَلَّمَ.) عَمَلٌ [mentioned in the beginning of this art. as an
inf. n.] is
syn. with مَِهْنَةٌ and فِعْلٌ: (
K:) [accordingly, when used as a simple
subst., it may be rendered Work, labour, or service: and a deed, or an action:] or it has a more particular meaning than فِعْلٌ; for it is a فِعْل [or deed] with a sort of difficulty; and therefore it is not attributed to God: or,
accord. to
Er-Rághib, it is any فِعْل [i. e. deed or action] that proceeds from an animate being by his intention; and thus it has a more particular meaning than فِعْلٌ; for the فعل is sometimes attributed to animate beings from which it proceeds without intention; and sometimes to inanimate things, to which the عَمَل is seldom attributed; and this is not used in relation to [irrational] animals except [as implied] in the phrases إِبِلٌ عَوَامِلُ and بَقَرٌ عَوَامِلُ: or,
accord. to
MF, the عَمَل is a motion of the whole, or of a portion, of the body; and sometimes, of the mind; so that it is the utterance of a saying, as well as the doing a deed with the member, or limb, with which things are gained or earned; though most readily understood as applied particularly to the latter; and some apply it particularly to that which is not a saying: it is also said that a saying is not termed عَمَلٌ in the common conventional language: and the truth is said to be, that it is not included in the terms عَمَلٌ and فِعْلٌ otherwise than tropically: (
TA:) [see also عَمِلَةٌ:] the
pl. of عَمَلٌ [used as a simple
subst.] is أَعْمَالٌ. (
K.) In the following saying, of a woman dandling her child, (
S,) or of Keys Ibn-Ásim, (
O,
TA,) dandling his child Hakeem, (
TA,) أَشْبِهْ أَبَا أُمِّكَ أَوْ أَشْبِهْ عَمَلْ the last word is a proper name of a man: (
S,
O,
TA:) or,
accord. to Aboo-Zekereeyà, [the meaning is, Share thou in the qualities of the father of thy mother, or share thou in the qualities of my course of action; for he says that] by عَمَلْ is here meant عَمَلِى. (
TA.) اِبْنُ عَمَلِى means He who does my work, or the like of what I do. (
TA in art. بنى.) And [hence,] فُلَانٌ ابْنُ عَمَلٍ Such a one is strong. (
TA.) And بَنُو عَمَلٍ Those who journey on foot. (
O,
K, *
TA.) [And عَمَلُ النَّخْلِ, occurring in the
T,
voce ضَيْعَةٌ, means The culture of palm-trees: like as عَمَلُ الأرْضِ means agriculture].
b2: And عَمَلٌ signifies also The striving, labouring, or toiling, in work; or the holding on, or continuing, in work: so in the saying of El-Kutámee فَقَدْ يَهُونُ عَلَى المُسْتَنْجِحِ العَمَلُ [For verily the striving, &c., in work is a light matter to him who seeks success]. (
TA.)
b3: [Also An office of administration; and particularly the office of governor of a province; and the office of collector of the poor-rates, and the like: and an agency of any kind; the management of the affairs and property of another; an employment.
b4: Also A province; or territory under a governor appointed by a sovereign.
Pl. in this and other senses as above.]
عَمِلٌ, as an
epithet applied to a man,
i. q. ذُو عَمَلٍ [Having work, labour, or service]; (
Sb,
K;) as also ↓ عَمُولٌ: (
K:) or adapted, or disposed, by nature, to work, labour, or service; (
S,
O,
K;) and so ↓ عَمُولٌ: (
S, *
O, *
K:) or this latter signifies that makes much gain. (
TA.)
b2: And, applied to lightning, Continuing, or continual. (
K.)
b3: And عَمِلَةٌ, applied to a she-camel, Brisk, light, active, or quick; (

b3: And see عُمَالَةٌ.
A2: Also The internal state, or condition, of a man, in relation to evil. (
K.) عَمِلَةٌ, with kesr to the م, is
syn. with عَمَلٌ [as signifying A deed, or an action]: (
O,
K:) so in the saying of a woman of the Arabs, مَا كَانَ لِى
عَمِلَةٌ إِلَّا فَسَادُكُمْ [There was no deed, or action, for me, except the corrupting of you]. (
O.)
b2: And A thing that is done, or performed; or that is made; (مَا عُمِلَ;) as also ↓ عِمْلةٌ. (
K.) عِمْلَى: see عُمَالَةٌ.
عَمَلِىٌّ Practical; opposed to عِلْمِىٌّ: and fabrile; factitious; or artificial.]
عَمِلَ بِهِ العِمِلِّينَ, with two kesrehs and with the ل musheddedeh, (
K,
TA, but in the
CK العِمِلَّيْنِ,) or العِمْلِينَ, or العُمَلِينَ, (

accord. to
ISd as on the authority of

IAar adds العِمْلَيْنِ, with the م quiescent, (
