This is forbidden in a trad. (S, Mgh, O, Msb, &c.) It is said in a trad. of the Prophet on this subject, لَا يَغْلَقُ بِمَا فِيهِ لَكَ غُنْمُهُ وُعَلَيْكَ غُرْمُهُ [meaning It shall not become a forfeit to the receiver with what is involved in it: (or, accord. to an explanation of the first clause in the Msb, it shall not become a rightful possession to the receiver for the debt for which it was pledged:) to thee shall pertain the regaining of it, and its increase, and growth, and excess in value, if such there be, and upon thee shall be the obligation of the debt belonging to it, and the bearing of any unavoidable damage that it may have sustained]: (O:) or لَهُ غُنْمُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ غُرْمُهُ i. e., accord. to A 'Obeyd, to him (the owner) it shall return, and to him shall pertain its increase [if there be any], and if it have become defective, or have perished, [unavoidably,] he shall be responsible for it and shall pay the debt to him to whom it is owed without being compensated by [the remission of] aught of the debt: (Msb:) or لَكَ غُنْمُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ غُرْمُهُ, which means to thee (the pledger) shall pertain the increase of it (the pledge), and its growth, and its excess in value, [if it have any,] and upon him (the receiver of it) shall be the responsibility [to make compensation] for it if it perish [through his fault, in his possession], (O. [There are other, somewhat different, readings and explanations of this trad. in the Mgh &c.; but what I have here given, from the O and Msb, appear to me to be the most approvable. See also غُنْمٌ: and see art. رهن.]) Zuheyr says, “ وَفَارَقَتْكَ بِرَهْنٍ لَا فَكَاكَ لَهُ
يَوْمَ الوَدَاعِ فَأَمْسَى الرَّهْنُ قَدْ غَلِقَا
” (assumed tropical:) [And she separated herself from thee with a pledge for which there is nothing wherewith it may be redeemed, on the day of valediction, so the pledge has become a forfeit to its receiver]: (S, Mgh, O, TA:) he means that she received his heart as a pledge, and went away with it. (Mgh, TA.) The saying of Ows Ibn-Hajar “ أَبُو غَلَقٍ فِى لَيْلَتَيْنِ مُؤَجَّلِ
” means (assumed tropical:) The owner of a pledge that has become a rightful possession [or forfeit] to its receiver, the period for the release of which is two nights: to this he likens a captivated heart. (TA.) ― -b3- One says also, of a slave who has received permission to traffic, غَلِقَتْ رَقَبَتُهُ بِالدَّيْنِ (assumed tropical:) His رَقَبَة [meaning person] has become a rightful possession [or a forfeit to his creditor or creditors] by reason of debt, when he is unable to free it. (Mgh.) ― -b4- And غَلِقَ signifies also (assumed tropical:) He was unransomed, or unredeemed; said of a captive, and of a criminal. (TA.) ― -b5- And (tropical:) He, or it, stuck fast: (S, O, TA:) thus in the saying, غَلِقَ قَلْبُهُ فِى يَدِ فُلَانَةَ [His heart stuck fast in the possession of such a woman or girl]: (TA:) and اِحْتَدَّ فَغَلِقَ فِى حِدَّتِهِ [He became excited by sharpness of temper, and stuck fast in his sharpness of temper]: (S, O. TA:) and غَلِقَ is said of anything that sticks fast in a thing, and cleaves to it: thus one says, غَلِقَ فِى البَاطِلِ [He stuck fast in that which was vain, or false]: and the saying of El-Farezdak “ وَلَوْ كَانُوا أُولِى غَلَقٍ سِغَابَا
” means Had they been persons who had stack fast in poverty and hunger, cleaving thereto. (Sh, TA.) ― -b6- Also, (Msb, TA,) inf. n. غَلَقٌ, (Mgh, Msb,) (assumed tropical:) He was, or became, disquieted, (Mgh,) or disquieted by grief; (Mgh, Msb;) or angry, (Msb, TA.) and excited by sharpness of temper. (TA.) Hence يَمِينُ الغَلَقِ (assumed tropical:) The oath of anger; said by some of the lawyers to be so called because he who swears it closes thereby against himself a door preventing him from advancing or drawing back. (Msb.) And hence إِِيَّاكَ وَالغَلَقَ (assumed tropical:) Beware thou of, or avoid thou, the being disquieted, or disquieted by grief [or anger]: or, as some say, the meaning is, التَّطْلِيقَاتُ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى مِنْهَا ↓ لَا يُغْلَقُ شَىْءٌ (assumed tropical:) [i. e. The sentences of divorce shall not be closed, or concluded, at once, by one's saying “ Thou art trebly divorced, ” so that there shall not remain of them aught]; for one should divorce agreeably with the سُنَّة: (Mgh:) [or, accord. to the TA, إِِيَّاكَ وَالغَلَقَ app. means beware thou of, or avoid thou, the state of straitness:] and الغَلَقُ signifies also the being in a state of perdition: (TA:) and contractedness of the mind or bosom, (Mbr, JK, TA,) and paucity of patience. (Mbr, TA.) ― -b7- One says also, غَلِقَتِ النَّخْلَةُ, (O. K, TA,) inf. n. غَلَقٌ, (TA,) : The palm-tree had worms in the bases of its branches and was thereby stopped from bearing fruit; (O, K, TA;) and so عَنِ الإِِثْمَارِ ↓ أُغْلِقَتْ . (TA.) ― -b8- And غَلِقَ ظَهْرُ البَعِيرِ, (S, O, K, TA,) inf. n. غَلَقٌ, (S, O, TA,) (tropical:) The back of the camel became galled with galls not to be cured; (S, O, K, TA;) the whole of his back being seen to be two portions of cicatrized skin, the results of galls that had become in a healing state, and the two sides thereof glistening: ISh says that in the case of the worst galls of the camel, the furniture, or saddle and saddle-cloth, cannot be [partially] raised from contact with him [so as to be bearable by him].
