(Msb.) [See اجِلٌ and أَجَلٌ.

(TA.) -A3- أَجَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ شَرًّا, (S, Msb,) or الشَّرَّ, (K,) aor. اَجُلَ (S, Msb, K) and اَجِلَ , (S, K,) inf. n. أَجْلٌ, (S, Msb,) He committed against them evil, (S, Msb, K,) and drew it, or procured it, to them: (Msb:) and (S, in the K “ or ”) he excited it, stirred it up, or provoked it, against them: (S, K:) or, accord. to AZ, أَجَلْتُ عَلَيْهِمٌ, inf. n. as above, signifies I committed a crime against them: and AA says that جَلَبْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ and جَرَرْتُ and أَجَلْتُ have one and the same signification. (TA.) And أَجَلَ لِأَهْلِهِ, (Lh, K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He gained, acquired, or earned, and collected, and brought, or purveyed, and exercised skill in the management of affairs, for his family.

It is said in the Kur [vi. 128], وَ بَلَغْنَا أَجَلَنَا الَّذِي أَجَّلْتَ لَنَا [And we have reached our term which Thou hast assigned, or appointed, for us;] meaning, the day of resurrection; (Bd, * Jel;) or the term of death; or, as some say, the term of extreme old age. (TA.) And أَجَّلْتُهُ, inf. n. as above, signifies I assigned, or appointed, for him, or it, a term, or period. (Msb.) أَجَّلَنِى He granted me a delay, or postponement. (TA.)

, inf. n. مُوءَاجَلَةٌ: see 1.

i. q. ↓ استأجل; (K, TA;) i. e. He asked, or requested, that a term, or period, should be assigned, appointed, or specified, for him. (TA.) It is said in a trad. of Mek-hool, كُنَّا مَرَابِطِينَ بِا لسَّاحِلِ فَتَأَجَّلَ مُتَأَجِّلٌ [We were keeping post on the frontier of the enemy, in the tract on the sea-coast, and] a person asked, or requested, that a term, or period, should be assigned, or appointed, or specified, for him, and that permission should be granted him to return to his family. (TA.)

Delayed; postponed; kept back; syn. مُتَأَخِّرٌ; [but in some copies of the K, for اجِلٌ, we find ↓ أَجِلٌ;] as also ↓ أَجِيلٌ, of which the pl. is أُجْلٌ: (K:) and therefore, (TA,) not present; future; to come; contr. of عَاجِلٌ: (S, Msb, TA:) and ↓ مُتَأَجِّلٌ, also, signifies delayed, deferred, or postponed, to the time of the end of a period; originally, contr. of مُتَعَجِّلٌ. (Mgh.) [See also أَجِيلٌ.] [Hence,] الاجِلَةُ The [future,] latter, ultimate, or last, dwelling, or abode, or life; the world to come; syn. الاخِرَةُ; (K, TA;) contr. of العَاجِلَةُ. (S, TA.) -A2- Committing a crime; or a committer of a crime. (S, TA.)

, (S, Mughnee, K,) with the ل quiescent, (Mughnee,) is written with kesr and with fet-h [to the medial letter, i. e. ↓ أَجِلْ as well as أَجَلْ] like نعم [which is written نَعِمٌ as well as نَعَمْ]: (TA:) it is a particle (Mughnee) denoting a reply; like نَعَمْ; (S, Mughnee, K;) importing acknowledgment of the truth of the speaker, to him who gives information; and the making a thing known, to him who asks information; and a promise, to him who seeks, or demands; (Mughnee;) i. e. It is as thou sayest [in the first case; and yes, or yea, in the same, and in the other cases]; (K voce بَسَلٌ;) therefore it occurs after such sayings as “ Zeyd stood ” and “ did Zeyd stand? ” and “ beat thou Zeyd: ” but ElMálakee restricts the information to that which is affirmative, and the saying expressive of seeking or demanding to that which is without prohibition: and it is said by some that it does not occur after an interrogation: (Mughnee:) Er-Radee says, in the Expos. of the Káfiyeh, after Z and others, that it is to denote acknowledgment of the truth of information, and does not occur after a saying in which is the meaning of seeking, or demanding: (TA:) or, accord. to Z and Ibn-Málik and others, it relates particularly to information: and accord. to Ibn-Kharoof, it occurs mostly after information: (Mughnee:) in the Expos. of the Tes-heel, it is said to be for denoting acknowledgment of the truth of information, past or other, affirmative or negative, and not to occur after an interrogation: (TA:) Akh says that it is better than نَعَمْ (S, Mughnee, K *) after information, (Mughnee,) in acknowledging the truth of what is said; (S, Mughnee, K;) and نعم is better than it after an interrogation: (S, Mughnee, K:) so that when one says, سَوْفَ تَذْهَبُ [Thou wilt, or shalt, go away], thou sayest أَجَلْ [Yes]; and it is better than نعم: but when one says, أَتَذْهَبُ [Wilt thou go away?], thou sayest نعم; and it is better than اجل. (S.)

Having a delay, or postponement, granted to him, to a certain time; i. q. إِلَى وَقْتٍ ↓ مُوءَجَّلٌ. (Lth.) See also اجِلٌ.

is originally the inf. n. of أَجَلَ شَرًّا “ he committed evil; ” and is used to indicate the causation of crimes; and afterwards, by extension of its application, to indicate any causation: (Bd in v. 35:) one says, فَعَلْتُهُ مِنْ أَجْلِكَ, and ↓ من إِجْلِكَ, (S, K,) and فَعَلْتُهُ أَجْلَكَ, and ↓ إِجْلَكَ, (so in some copies of the K,) and من أَجْلَالِكَ, and من إِجْلَالِكَ, (K, [belonging to art. جلو, in which also they are mentioned,]) and من أَجْلالِكَ, and من إِجْلَالِكَ, (so in some copies of the K and in the TA, [belonging to art. جل,]) i. e. [I did it] مِنْ جَرَّاكَ, (S,) which means [originally] in consequence of thy committing it: (Bd ubi suprà:) [and then, by extension of its application, as shown above, because of thee, or of thine act &c.; on thine account; for thy sake; as also لِأَجْلِكَ, which is more common in the present day:] or منْ جَلَلِكَ: (K:) and مِنْ أَجْلِهِ كَانَ كَذَا, i. e. بِسَبَبِهِ [Because of him, or it, it was thus, or such a thing was]. (Msb.) An instance of its occurrence without مِنْ [or لِ] is presented by the saying of 'Adee Ibn-Zeyd,

أَجْلَ أَنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدْ فَضَّلَكُمْ

[Because that God hath made you to have excel-lence, or hath preferred you]. (TA.)

, whence فَعَلْتُهُ مِنْ إِجْلِكَ, and فَعَلْتُهُ إِجْلَكَ: see أَجْلٌ, in two places.
