(TA: [there mentioned as a plural, but not said to be of بَاغٍ, nor explained.]) بَاغٍ وَهَادٍ, lit. A seeker of [stray] camels and a guide of the way, mentioned in a tradition respecting the Hijreh (as said by A booBekr to a man who asked him “ Who are ye? ”), alludes to the seeking of religion and the guiding from error. (TA.) One says, فَرِّقُوا لِهٰذِهِ الإِبِلِ بُغْيَانًا يُضِبُّونَ لَهَا, i. e. [Disperse ye, for these camels, seekers] to scatter themselves in search thereof. (S.)

Acting wrongfully, injuriously, or tyrannically, [&c.,] towards others: plural بُغَاةٌ. (Msb. [See 1.]) غَيْرَ بَاغٍ, in the Qur'an, 2:168, [&c.,] means Not being a revolter from the Muslims, (Jel,) or, against the Imám: (TA:) or it means not desiring to eat for the sake of enjoyment: or not seeking to exceed the limit of his want: (Az, TA:) or not seeking what he should not seek. (Er-Rághib, TA.) فِيءَةٌ بَاغِيَهٌ A company of men revolting from the just Imám. (K.) فِرْقَةٌ بَاغِيَةٌ A party occupying itself with corrupt, wrong, or unjust, conduct. (Msb.)

[The plural] بُغْيَانٌ also signifies What the sportsman, or hunter, seeks, of game, or objects of the chase. (JK.) مَبْغًى [A place where a thing is sought: and hence, a way, or manner, in which a thing is, or should be, sought]: this is meant in the saying, بَغَيْتُ المَالَ مِنْ مَبْغَاتِهِ [I sought wealth by the way, or manner, whereby it should be sought]; like as مَأْتًى is meant in the saying, أَتَيْتُ الأَمْرَ مِنْ مَأْتَاتِهِ. (S.)
