اِبْنُ جَلَا ابن جلا (tropical:) A man who is well known, celebrated, or notable; (Mgh;) of whom it is said, جَلَا الأُمُورَ, i. e. he has made affairs clear, unobscured, or manifest; (S, Mgh;) or جَلَا أَمْرُهُ, i. e. his case has become clear, unobscured, or manifest: (Mgh:) or one whose case is clear, apparent, plainly apparent, or manifest; (K, TA;) as also ↓ اِبْنُ أَجْلَى : (K:) applied to a man who is upon an elevated and conspicuous place; and applied by El-Hajjáj to himself, as meaning that he was one whom every one knew: (TA:) and also, (K,) for this reason, (TA,) the name of a certain man, (S, K,) well known, (K,) of the Benoo-Leyth, who was a person of great daring. (TA.) A poet says, (S,) namely, Soheym Ibn-Wetheel Er-Riyáhee, (TA,) “ أَنَا ا@بْنُ جَلَا وَطَلَّاعُ الثَّنَايَا
مَتَى أَضِعَ العِمَامَةَ تَعْرِفُونِى
” [I am a man well known, celebrated, or notable, &c.; and he who rises to eminences, or who is accustomed to embark in, or surmount, lofty and difficult things: when I put down the turban, ye will know me]. (S, TA.) Sb says, (TA,) جلا in this case is a verb in the pret. tense: 'Eesà Ibn- 'Omar says that when a man is named قَتَلَ or ضَرَبَ or the like, the word is imperfectly decl.; and he adduces, in evidence, this verse: others say that جلا may be here without tenween because it is imitative of a phrase, as though the poet said, أَنَا ا@بْنُ الَّذِى يُقَالُ لَهُ جَلَا الأُمُورِ: (S, TA:) accord. to IB, it is without tenween because it is a verb with its agent [implied in it]. (TA.) ― -b2- Accord. to some, it signifies (assumed tropical:) The daybreak, or dawn; (Har p. 498;) and so ↓ اِبْنُ أَجْلَى : (TA:) accord. to Hamzeh, (assumed tropical:) the beginning of day: and accord. to some, (assumed tropical:) the moon.
