دَفَعَهُ

, (S, Msb, K,) aorist
دَفَعَ
, (K,) verbal noun دَفْعٌ (Msb, K) and دَفَاعٌ (TA) and مَدْفَعٌ, (K,) [He impelled it, pushed it, thrust it, or drove it; and particularly, so as to remove it from its place; he propelled it; he repelled, or repulsed, it; he pushed it, thrust it, or drove it, away, or back;] he put it away, or removed it from its place, (Msb, TA,) by, or with, force, or strength: (TA:) or دَفْعٌ signifies the putting away or removing or turning back a thing before the coming or arriving [of that thing]; like as رَفْعٌ signifies the “ putting away or removing or turning back ” a thing “ after the coming or arriving ” thereof. (Kull p. 185.) Hence the saying in the Qur'an, 2:252, and xxii. 41], وَلَوْ لَا دَفْعُ اللّٰهِ النَّاسَ [And were it not for God's repelling men]; where some read
دِفَاعُ [which means the same, as will be seen in the course of what follows, though bearing also another interpretation, likewise to be seen in what follows]. (TA.) You say, دَفَعْتُ
الرَّجُلَ [I impelled, pushed, &c., the man]. (S.) And
دافعهُ, verbal noun دِفَاعٌ [and مُدَافَعَةٌ]; and
دفّعهُ; (TA;) [both, apparently, according to the TA, signifying the same; but the latter more properly relates to several objects together, or signifies he impelled it, pushed it, &c., much, or vehemently, or often; whereas] مُدَافَعَةٌ (K, TA) and دِفَاعٌ (TA) are [often exactly] synonym with
دَفْعٌ. (K, TA.) Thus, (TA,) you say, as meaning the same, عَنْهُ
دافع and دَفَعَ [He repelled from him; whence another explanation of these two phrases, which see in what follows]. (S, TA.) And hence, دَفَعَ اللّٰهُ عَنْكَ المَكْرُوهَ, verbal noun دَفْعٌ, (tropical:) [May God repel, or avert, from thee what is disliked, or hated, or evil]: (TA:) and اللّٰهُ عَنْكَ السُّوْءَ
دَافَعَ, verbal noun دِفَاعٌ, (tropical:) [May God repel, or avert, from thee evil]. (S, TA.) And دَفَعْتُ عَنْهُ الأَذَى (tropical:) [I repelled, or averted, from him what was hurtful, or annoying; as also
دَافَعْتُ]. (Msb, K, TA.) Sb mentions, as a saying of the Arabs, اِدْفَعِ الشَّرَّ
وَلَوْ إِصْبَعًا (tropical:) [Repel thou, or avert thou, evil, or mischief, though but with a finger: the last word being in the accusative case by reason of the subaudition of the preposition ب; the meaning being بِإِصْبَعٍ]. (TA.) [See also an example voce دَفُوعٌ.] When دَفْعٌ is made transitive by means of عَنْ, [and has a single objective complement, a second objective complement is understood, and in general] it has the meaning or the act of (assumed tropical:) Defending; as in the Qur'an, 22:39, إِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَدْفَعُ عَنْ الَّذِينَ امَنُوا (assumed tropical:) [Verily God defendeth those who have believed; i. e. repelleth from them aggression and the like]; (B;) and
يُدَافِعُ, in the same, (K, TA,) according to another reading, signifies the same; (K, TA;) or this latter signifies (assumed tropical:) defendeth energetically, with the energy of him who contendeth for superiority in so doing. (Bd.) And عَنْهُ
دَافَعْتُ signifies [also] (assumed tropical:) I pleaded, or contended in arguments, in defence of him. (Msb.) [Exceptions to the statement cited above form the B will be found in what follows in this paragraph; and another exception, voce مُدَفَّعٌ.]

[In the exs. which follow, the verb is used in senses little differing, essentially, from those assigned to it in the first sentence of this article]
3.
دَفَعْتُ مِنَ الإِنَاءِ
دَفَْعَةً [I poured forth from the vessel a single pouring]: the last word, which is with fet-h, is a verbal noun [of un.]. (Msb.)
4.
دَفَعَتِ اللِّبَأَفِى
ضَرْعِهَا قُبَيْلَ النِّتَاجِ (tropical:) [She (a ewe, or goat, S, or a camel, S, K) infused the first milk into her udder, i. e. secreted it therein, a little before bringing forth]. (S, K.) And دَفَعَتِ اللَّبَنِ عَلَى
رَأْسِ وَلَدِهَا لِكَثْرَتِهِ (tropical:) [She (a ewe or goat, or a camel, TA) secreted the milk in her udder when about to produce her young, by reason of its abundance]; for the milk becomes abundant in her udder only when she is about to bring forth: the verbal noun [apparently the verbal noun of un.] is دَفْعَةٌ. (TA.) And دَفَعَتْ alone, said of a ewe or goat, signifies (assumed tropical:) She secreted milk in her udder when about to produce the young; explained by أَضْرَعَتْ عَلَى رَأْسِ
الوَلَدِ [which see in article ضرع]. (S, TA.) Accord. to En-Nadr, one says دَفَعَتْ بِلَبِنِهَا, and بِاللَّبَنِ, when her young is in her belly; but when she has brought forth, one does not say دَفَعَتْ. (TA.)
5.
In the saying, غَشِيِتْنَا سَحَابَةٌ فَدَفَعْنَاهَا إِلَى غَيْرِنَا [lit. A cloud overspread us, and we drove it away to other persons], meaning (tropical:) it departed from us to other persons,
دفعناها is for دَفَعَتْنَا, which means دُفِعَتْ عَنَّا [lit. it was driven away from us]. (TA.)

10.
دَفَعَ المَاءُ [The water poured out, or forth, as though it impelled, or propelled, itself]: (TA: [where it is followed by وَانْصَبَّ, as an explicative adjunct:]) and so السَّيْلُ [the
torrent]. (ISh.) [See also 6.] And دَفَعَ الوَادِى
بِالمَاءِ [The valley poured with water]. (TA in article حشك.)

15.
دَفَعَ also signifies (assumed tropical:) He returned. (MF.)
16.
When دَفْعٌ is made transitive by means of إِلَى, it [generally, but not always, as has been shown above,] has the meaning of the act of Giving, or delivering; as in the Qur'an, 4:5, فَادْفَعُوا إِلَيْهِمْ أَمْوَالَهُمْ [Then give ye, or deliver ye, to them their property]. (B.) You say, دَفَعْتُ
إِلَىى فُلَانٍ شَيْيءًا [I gave, or delivered, to such a one a thing]. (S, K. *) And دَفَعْتُ الوَدِيعَةَ إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا
I restored the deposit to its owner. (Msb.) And دَفَعْتُ لَهُ قِطْعَةً مِنَ المَالِ [I gave him a part, or portion, of the property]. (S in article زعب; and the like is said in that article in the K.) And دَفَعَهُ [alone] He gave it; synonym أَعْطَاهُ. (Er-Rághib, MF.)
