(K, TA.) 2 محّصهُ ذ , inf. n. تَمْحِيصٌ, He rendered it clear, pure, free from every admixture or imperfection or the like; as also ↓ مَحَصَهُ , aor. مَحَصَ , inf. n. مَحْصٌ. (Az, A, TA.)

(TA.) It is also said in a trad., mentioning a sedition, or conflict and faction, or the like, يُمَحَّصُ النَّاسُ فِيهَا كَمَا يُمَحَّصُ ذَهَبُ المَعْدِنِ, i.e. (tropical:) Men shall be cleared therein, one from another, like as the gold from the mine is cleared from the earth, or dust.

[But this phrase may be rendered somewhat differently; as will be seen below.] And ا@للّٰهُ مَا بِكَمَحَصَ , and مَحَّصَهُ; i.e. (tropical:) May God remove, or put away, what is in thee. (TA.) ― -b3- [Hence, also,] (assumed tropical:) He tried, proved, or tested, him: (S, IAth, K:) and accord. to Ibn-'Arafeh, the verb has this meaning in the phrase quoted above from the Kur: [but he adds,] because the trial of the Muslims diminishes their sins: for (TA) تَمْحيصٌ also signifies The diminishing [a thing].
