qaEiydN * A companion in sitting: (S, AHeyth, L, K:) of the measure faEiylN in the sense of the measure mufaAEilN . (L.) ― -b2- A preserver; a keeper; a guardian; a watcher. (L, K.) [In some copies of the K, by the omission of wa , this meaning is assigned to muqaAEidN .] It is used alike as sing. and pl. and masc. and fem. (L, K) and dual also. (L.) It is said in the Kur, [l. 16,] Eani Alyamiyni waEani Al$imaAli qaEiydN [ On the right and on the left a sitter, or guardian, or watcher ]: respecting which it is observed, that faEiylN and faEuwlN are of the measures used alike as sing. and dual and pl.; as in A_in~aA rasuwlu rab~ika , [Kur xi. 83, accord. to one reading,] and waAlmalaAy^ikapu baEoda *`lika ZahiyrN , [Kur lxvi. 4:] (S, L:) or, as the grammarians say, qaEiydN is understood after Alymyn . (L.) ― -b3- [Hence,] A father; (A'Obeyd, K;) and ↓ qaEiydapN A man's wife; (S, L, K; *) as also ↓ qiEaAdN : (S, L:) and qaEiydapu bayoti rajulK a man's wife: pl. qaEaAy^idu . (L.) ― -b4- qaEiydaka A@ll~`ha , and A@ll~`ha ↓ qaEodaka , and A@ll~`ha ↓ qiEodaka , (K,) but the last was unknown to AHeyth, (L,) [ By thy Watcher, or Keeper, God: qEyd and ↓ qEd being epithets, put in the acc. case because of the prep. bi understood: or] I conjure thee by God; syn. na$adotuka A@ll~`ha : some say, the meaning is, as though God were sitting with thee, watching over thee, or keeping thee: [in some copies of the K, for biHifoZihi Ealayoka , the reading in the TA, we find yaHofaZuhu Ealayoka :] or by thy Companion, who is the Companion of every secret, [namely God ] ! qaEiydaka laA A=tiyka , and lA Atyk ↓ qiEodaka ; and qaEiydaka A@ll~`ha lA Atyk , and A@ll~`ha lA Atyk ↓ qiEodaka ; are forms of swearing used by the Arabs, in which qEyd and ↓ qEd are inf. us. put in the acc. case because of a verb understood; [or rather, as it appears to me, and as I have said above, they are epithets, put in the acc. case because of the prep. bi understood;] and the meaning is, By thy Companion, who is the Companion of every secret, [ I will not come to thee; and by thy Companion, &c., or by thy Watcher, or Keeper, God, I will not come to thee; ] like as one says na$adotuka A@ll~`ha : (S, L:) some say, that qEyd and ↓ qEd signify here a watcher, or an observer, and a preserver, a keeper, or a guardian, that God is meant by them, and that they are in the acc. case because A^uqosimu followed by the prep. bi is understood; [the meaning being I swear by thy Watcher, or Keeper, &c., God, &c.; and this opinion is the more agreeable with the explanation given above, “ By thy Companion &c. ”:] others say, that they are inf. ns., and that the meaning is, I swear by thy regard, or fear, of God, bimuraAqabatika A@ll~`ha : El-Mázinee and others, however, assert that qEyd has no verb. (MF.) ― -b5- Ks says that A@ll~`hu ↓ qiEodaka [ All~`h being in the nom. case] signifies God be with thee! (L.) [or God be thy Companion, or Watcher, or Keeper! ]; and so does qaEiydaka All~`hu . (AHeyth, L.) [Or] qaEiydaka A@ll~`ha , (IB, L, K,) and qiEodaka A@ll~`ha , (K,) and qaEodaka A@ll~`ha , (IB, L, TA,) [are] expressions of conciliation, not oaths, as they have not the complement of an oath: the former word in each is an inf. n. occupying the place of a verb, and therefore is put in the acc. case, as in Eamoraka A@ll~`ha , which means Eam~arotuka A@ll~`ha , i. e., I beg God to prolong thy life: in like manner, qaE~adotuka A@ll~`ha [in the K, qiEodaka ,] signifies, [and so the three first phrases above, of which it is the original form,] I beg God to preserve, keep, guard, or watch, thee; from the saying in the Kur, [l. 16,] Eani Alyamiyni waEani Al$~imaAli qaEiydN , i. e. HafiyZN . (Aboo-'Alee, IB, L, K. *) qaEiyda kumaA A@ll~`ha is used in interrogative phrases and in phrases conveying an oath, [and so is qaEiydaka A@ll~`ha ]. You say, interrogatively, qaEibdakumaA A@ll~`ha A^alamo yakuno ka*aA waka*aA [ I beg God to preserve, keep, guard, or watch, thee. Was it not so and so? ]: and i
