[Also, as pass. particle n. of 2, (assumed tropical:) Individuated, or particularized; i. e. distinguished from the generality, or aggregate: &c.: see the verb. Hence] نِيَّةٌ مُعَيَّنَةٌ means [A distinct, particular, or special, purpose; lit.] a purpose made distinct: and it is allowable for one to attribute the action to the purpose, tropically; and thus to say
نِيَّةٌ مُعَيِّنَةٌ [A distinguishing purpose], using the act. particle n. (Msb.)
