(IAar, K.) And سَرَقَهُمْ [alone, He stole from them; or robbed them]. (JK and K in art. بوق.) It is said in a prov., سُرِقَ السَّارِقُ فَا@نْتَحَرَ (S, O) The thief was robbed, and in consequence slew himself: applied to him who has a thing not belonging to him taken from him, and whose impatience consequently becomes excessive. (Meyd, * O.) And ↓ سرّقهُ , inf. n. تَسْرِيقٌ signifies the same as سَرَقَهُ: El-Farezdak says, “ لَا تَحْسِبَنَّ دَرَاهِمًا سَرَّقْتَهَا
