حَمْد

2 Hm~d Hmd , inf. n. taHomiydN , has a more intensive signification than Hamda ; (S;) [ He declared the praises of God: or] he praised God much, with good forms of praise ( biAlmaHaAmidi AlHasanapi ): (T, L:) or repeatedly; or time after time. (L, K.) tHmyd [used as a simple subst.] has a pl., namely, taHaAmiydu . (A.) [See an ex. voce xaAtamN , in the latter part of the paragraph.]

HamodN Hmd Praise, eulogy, or commendation; &c. (S, &c. [For further explanations of this word, and respecting the phrase AlHamodu lil~`hi and its variations, see 1: and see also $akara .]) suboHaAnaka A@ll~`hum~a wabiHamodika , said by a person praying, means [ I extol, or celebrate, or declare, thy remoteness, or freedom, from every impurity, or imperfection, &c., O God, (see art. sbH ,)] and I begin with praising Thee; A^abotadiy^u being understood: (Az, L, Msb:) or by bHmdk is meant AlHamodu laka praise be to Thee: and nearly the same is said in explanation of the phrase in the Kur [ii. 28], nusab~iHu biHamodika , that by bHmdk is meant HaAmidiyna laka : [see, again, art. sbH :] or by the expression wbHmdk is meant, accord. to Aboo-'Othmán ElMázinee, and by praising Thee I extol thy remoteness, or freedom, from every impurity, &c.; sab~aHotuka being understood: or the w is redundant, as it is in the phrase, rab~anaAwalaka AlHamodu [ O our Lord, praise be to Thee ], in which the w is sometimes omitted: or, accord. to Aboo-'Amr Ibn-El-'Alà, the w is corroborative, as in the phrase, wahuwa laka , for huwa laka . (Msb.) liwaA='u AlHamodi biyadiY yawoma AlqiyaAmapi [ The standard of praise shall be in my hand on the day of resurrection (said by Mohammad)] means that he shall be singularly distinguished by praise, or praising, on that day.
