(S, * MA, K, * PS. [But respecting this latter, see what follows.]) It is said in the Kur [ii. 34], فَأَزَلَّهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ عَنْهَا [And the Devil made them, or caused them, both, to slip, or fall, from it, namely, Paradise (الجَنَّة）]; and one reading is أَزَالَمُهَا, i. e. removed them: or, as some say, it means caused them to commit a slip, or wrong action, in consequence of it [referring to the tree]: or, accord. to Th, caused them to slip in judgment. (TA.) And in the same, iii. 149, ↓ ا@سْتَزَلَّهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ The Devil made them, or caused them, to slip: (Jel:) or, as some say, sought to make them commit a slip, or wrong action. (TA.) ― -b2- One says also, أَزَلَّ فُلَانًا إِِلَى القَوْمِ He sent forward such a one to the people, or party. (TA.) ― -b3- And أَزَلَّهُ عَنْ رَأْيِهِ He made him to turn from his opinion. (MA.) ― -b4- And as زَلِيلٌ signifies the “ passing ” of a body from one place to another, one says, speaking metaphorically, (IAth, TA,) أَزَلَّ إِِلَيْهِ نِعْمَةً (tropical:) He did to him a benefit: (S, IAth, K:) whence, (TA,) it is said in a trad., مَنْ أُزِلَّتْ إِِلَيْهِ نِعْمَةٌ فَلْيَشْكُرْهَا (assumed tropical:) He to whom a benefit is done [let him be grateful for it]. (A'Obeyd, S, * Mgh, Msb.) And أَزْلَلْتُ لَهُ زُلَّةً (assumed tropical:) I did to him a benefit: one should not say زللت [thus written, app. for ↓ زَلَّلْتُ : but see مُزَلِّلٌ]. (TA.) And أَزْلَلْتُ إِِلَيْهِ [alone] (assumed tropical:) I gave to him: or I did to him a benefit. (Msb.) And أَزْلَلْتُ إِِلَيْهِ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَغَيْرِهِ (assumed tropical:) I gave to him of the food and other things. (IKtt, TA.) And أَزَلَّ إِِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَقِّهِ شَيْئًا (assumed tropical:) He gave to him somewhat of his due. (S, K.) And أَزَلَّ عَنْهُ نِعْمَةً (assumed tropical:) He drew forth from him a benefit. (TA.)
