2 tabodiylN tbdyl properly signifies [The changing, or altering, a thing; or] the changing, or altering, the form, or fashion, or semblance, or the quality, or condition, [of a thing,] to another form, &c., while the substance remains the same; (Th, T, TA;) or the changing a thing from its state, or condition; (Ibn-'Arafeh, TA;) or the changing a thing without substitution: (S:) but the Arabs have used it also in the sense of ↓ A_ibodaAlN , (Mbr, T, TA,) which signifies [the changing a thing by substitution; exchanging it; replacing it with another thing; or] the removing, or displacing, the substance [of a thing], and introducing anew another substance. (Th, T, TA.) You say, bad~alotuhu , inf. n. tabodiylN , (M, * Msb, K,) meaning I changed it, or altered it; (M, K) or I changed, or altered, the form, or fashion, or semblance, or the quality, or condition, of it; (Msb;) as in the phrase, bad~alotu AlxaAtama biAlHaloqapi [ I changed, or altered, the signet-ring into the simple ring ], said when one has melted the former and made of it a simple ring; (Fr, T, TA;) and bad~ala A@ll~`hu Als~ayiy^~aAti HasanaAtK [ God changed the evil deeds into good deeds ]; the verb being doubly trans. by itself because it has the meaning of jaEala and Say~ara . (Msb. [But see what follows.]) ↓ A^abodalotuhu bika*aA , [in the S, A^abodalotu Al$~aYo'a bigayorihi , without explanation,] inf. n. A_ibodaAlN , [ I changed it by substituting for it such a thing, or exchanged it for such a thing, or replaced it with such a thing, ] is said when one has removed the first, and put the second in its place; (Msb;) as in the phrase, A^abodalotu AlxaAtama biAlHaloqapi [ I changed the signet-ring by substituting for it the simple ring; exchanged the signet-ring for the simple ring; or replaced the signet-ring with the simple ring ]; said when one removes the one, and puts the other in its place: (Fr, T, TA:) and this verb is also made doubly trans. by itself, like bad~alotu , (Msb,) which is used in the sense of A^abodalotu [as shown above]; (Mbr, T, TA;) for instance, where it is said, [in the Kur lxvi. 5,] EasaY rab~uhu A_ino Tal~aqakun~a A^ano yubodilahu A^azowajFA xayorFA minokun~a [ May-be, his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him in exchange wives better than you ]; accord to one reading, yubad~ilahu (Msb.) An ex. of the latter of these two verbs in the sense of the former is the saying in the Kur [xxv. 70], yubad~ilu A@ll~`hu say~iA=tihimo HasanaAtK [ God will change their evil deeds by substituting for them good deeds ]; i. e. will cancel the evil deeds and put in their place good deeds: but in the saying in the Kur [iv. 59], kul~amaA naDijato juluwduhumo bad~alonaAhumo juluwdFA gayorahaA [ Whenever their skins are thoroughly burned, we will change the condition thereof to them into the condition of other skins ], the meaning is, that the first condition of their skins shall be restored; so that the substance is one, but the condition is different. (Mbr, T, TA.) You say also, bad~alahu A@ll~`hu mana Alxawofi A^amonFA [ God gave him in exchange for fear, or in lieu of fear, security ]. (S.) [And bad~alahu bihi ka*aA He gave him in exchange for it, or in lieu of it, such a thing: see Kur xxxiv. 15. And bd~l makaAnahu ka*aA He gave in exchange for it, or in lieu of it, such a thing: see Kur vii. 93 and xvi. 103.] bad~ala HusonFA baEoda suwo'K , in the Kur [xxvii. 11], means He hath done good [by way of exchange after evil ]; i. e., repented; (Jel;) or bad~ala *anobuhu biAltawobapi [ hath exchanged his sin for repentance ]. (Bd.) tabodiylN and ↓ A_ibodaAlN both signify The act of exchanging [a thing for another thing]; or making [a thing] to be a substitute [for another thing]; (KL, PS;) and so does ↓ badaAlN . (KL.) You say, bd~l Al$~aYo'a mina Al$aYo'i , (M, K, *) and minohu ↓ Abdlhu , i. e. Ait~axa*ahu minohu badlFA [here meaning He exchanged the thing for the thing; or, more literally, he made the thing a substitute for the thing ]. (M, K. [In the te
