8 اختصموا اختصموا ٱختصم ٱختصموا They contended in altercation, disputed, or litigated, one with another; (Msb, TA;) i. q. ↓ تخاصموا ; (S, K, TA;) both signifying as above. (TA.) He who reads يَخَصِّمُونَ [in the Kur xxxvi. 49] means يَخْتَصِمُونَ; changing the ت into ص, and incorporating [it into the other ص], and transferring its vowel to the خ: some read يَخِصِّمُونَ, without transferring that vowel; (S, K;) because a quiescent letter, when it is made movent, is [regularly] made so with kesr: (S:) AA slurred the vowel of the خ: the pronunciation [يَخْصِّمُونَ] with two quiescent letters together is incorrect: (S, K:) Hamzeh read ↓ يَخْصِمُونَ , (S,) i. e., with the خ quiescent and with kesr to the ص. (TA.) ― -b2- اِخْتَصَمَا إِِلَيْهِ They two applied to him for the decision of a cause, each of them claiming the right. (TA in art. قمط.) And إِِلَيْهِ ↓ تُخُوصِمَ [An application was made to him by litigants for the decision of a cause]. (Mgh in art. دلو.) -A2- السَّيْفُ يَخْتَصِمُ جَفْنَهُ, said by J to signify The sword cuts (lit. eats) its scabbard, by reason of its sharpness, is a mistake; the verb being correctly with ض, (K, * TA,) dotted.
