بَدَأَ بِهِ
1.
, (T, S, M, &c.,) aorist
بَدَاَ
, (Mgh, K,) verbal noun بَدْءٌ, (T, S, M, Msb,) i. q. به
ابتدأ; (S, Msb, K;) [He began with it;] he made it to have precedence, or to be first; gave precedence to it; synonym قَدَّمَهُ: (Mgh, Msb:) in the dialect of the Ansár, بَدِيءَ به is used in this sense of قدّمه; (M;) or بَدِىَ به [without ء]; (IKtt, TA; [see بَدةءٌ;]) [and بَدَى به; see article بدى;] and به
ابدأ signifies the same. (Msb.) [So in the Qur'an, 12:76, فَبَدَأَ بِأَوْعِيَتِهِمْ قَبْلَ وِعَاءِ أَخِيهِ
And he began with their bags, before the bags of his brother. And بَدَأَهُ is sometimes used in the sense of بَدَأَ بِهِ; whence, in the Qur'an, 9:13, وَهُمْ بَدَوءُوكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ
And they, it was, began with you the first time; i. e., as Bd says, by acting with hostility, and fighting.] You say also, بَدَّا ثُمَّ عَادَ
He began, or did a first time, or the first time: then repeated, or did a second time. (Az, TA in article عود.) And بَدَأَ فِىِ الأَمْرِ [He began, or made a beginning, in the affair.] (M.)
2.
بَدَأَ also signifies It (a thing) began; began to be; originated; or came into existence. (Msb.) [See also 5.]
3.
بَدَأَ الشَّيْءَ, (S, M, K,) aorist and verbal noun as above, (M,) [He began the thing; commenced it; set about it; as also
ابتدأهُ: according to the Mgh, the latter has this meaning, or, agreeably with the authority of the M and K, the meaning which here next follows:] he did the thing first, for the first time, by way of beginning, or originally; (S, M, K;) as also
ابدأهُ and
ابتدأهُ; (M, K;) i. e., not after the example of anything preceding. (TA. [But this addition seems rather to belong to another explanation to be mentioned below.]) One does not say, زَيْدًا
ابتدأ nor بَدَأَهُ, because these two verbs [signifying as last explained above] do not have for their objects corporeal things. (Mgh.) [El-Mutanakhkhil El-Hudhalee uses the phrase سَأَبْدُوءُهُمْ بِمَشْمَعِةٍ
I will begin with them (meaning his guests) by sporting and jesting; like the phrase in the Qur'an, 9:13 cited above: but different from these is the saying in the Qur'an, 32:6, وَبَدَأَ خَلْقِ الْإِنْسَانِ مِنْ طِينٍ
And He began the creation of man from clay.] The saying,
فَإِنْ كَانَ السَّبُعُ ابْتَدَأَهُ means ابتدأ أَخْذَهُ
أَوْ عَضَّهُ [But if the beast, or bird, of prey has begun the seizing of him, or the biting of him]; the noun that is prefixed [to the pronoun] being suppressed. (Mgh.) You say also, كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فِى
الأَمْرِ
ابْتِدَاءِ
That was in the beginning, or first, of the affair. (Msb.) [See also بَدْءٌ, below.]

He originated the thing; brought it into being or existence; made it, or produced it, for the first time, it not having been before; (Mgh;) [and] so
ابدأهُ, said [of God, and] of a man, as the agent; (Msb;) and
ابتدأهُ. (Mgh in article بدع.) [Hence,] بَدَأَ اللّٰهُ الخَلْقَ, and
أَبْدَأَهُمْ, God created, or brought into existence, mankind, or the created beings: (M, Msb, K:) both signify the same. (S.) البَاطِلُ وَمَا يُعِيدُ
مَا يُبْدِيءُ [in the Qur'an, 34:48, means What doth that which is false, or the Devil, originate, or produce in the first instance? and what doth it, or he, reproduce after it hath perished?]: Zj says that مَا, here, is in the place of an accusative, meaning in each Instance أَىَّ شَىْءٍ: or it may be a negative; and الباطل here is Iblees; i. e., Iblees createth not, nor raiseth to life after death. (M.) You say also, وَمَا يُعِيدُ
مَا يُبْدِيءُ, meaning وَلَا
مَا يَتَكَلَّمُ
عَايءِدَةٍ, (S, K,) i. e. He does not say anything for the first time, nor anything for the second time; or anything original, nor anything in the way of repetition;
الكَلَامِ
بَادِيءَةُ signifying what is said for the first time; and عَايءِدَةُ الكَلَامِ, what is said for the second time, afterwards: (TA:) or he says not anything: (A in article عود:) and he has no art, artifice, or cunning. (IAar, TA in article عود; and A in the present article)

بُدِيءَ, (verbal noun as above, S, M, K,) He (a man, S, M) had the small-pox: (AZ, As, T, S, M, K:) or the
حَصْبَة [i. e. measles, or spotted fever]: (S, M, K:) or, as AZ says, and the
حصبة: (T:) or, as Lh says, there came forth upon him pustules resembling the small-pox: but he adds, some say, the small-pox itself: (M:) the epithet applied to a person affected therewith is
مَبْدُوْءٌ. (AZ, As, Lh, T, S, M.)
8.
Also He fell sick. (IAth, TA.) In a tradition of ' Áïsheh occur the words, فِى اليَوْمِ
الَّذِى بُدِيءَ فِيهِ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ [meaning In the day in which the Apostle of God fell sick]: and IAth says, مَتَى بُدِيءَ فُلَانٌ meaning When did such a one fall sick? is a phrase used in inquiring respecting the living [who has been attacked by illness] and respecting the dead. (TA.)
