(K.) Z has mentioned the reading in the Kur [xx. 119], وَعَصَى آدَمُ رَبَّهُ فَغَوِىَ, expl. as meaning [And Adam disobeyed his Lord, and] suffered indigestion from much eating: but better than this is what Az and Er-Rághib say; that it is فَغَوَى; and that the meaning is, and his life became evil to him; or he was disappointed; or he acted ignorantly; or some other of the meanings mentioned by the expositors. (TA.) 2 1َ2َّ3َ see 4. ― -b2- غَوَّيْتُ اللَّبَنَ, (K, TA,) inf. n. تَغْوِيَةٌ, (TA,) I made the milk to become such as is termed رَائِب [i. e. thick, or coagulated, &c.]; (K, TA;) as though I spoiled it, so that it became thick. (TA.) 4 اغواهُ ذ ; (S, MA, Msb, K;) and ↓ غوّاهُ , (K,) inf. n. تَغْوِيَةٌ; (TA;) and ↓ غَوَاهُ , (K, TA,) mentioned by El-Muärrij; (TA;) [but] accord. to As, one should not say otherwise than اغواهُ; (S, TA;) He caused him to err; or to deviate from the right course, or from that which was right: (S, Msb, K:) and caused him to be disappointed; or to fail of attaining his desire: (S:) or he seduced him, misled him, or led him astray; as also ↓ استغواهُ . (MA.) A poet, cited by El-Muärrij, says, “ وَكَائِنْ تَرَى مِنْ جَاهِلٍ بَعْدَ عِلْمِهِ
الهَوَى جَهْلًا عَنِ الحَقِّ فَا@نْغَوَىغَوَاهُ
” [How many an ignorant dost thou see, whom, after his knowledge, love, or desire, has urged to turn, in ignorance, from that which was right, and who has turned: or has turned, in ignorance, from that which was right, and who has suffered himself to be turned; for,] accord. to Az, غَوَاهُ الهَوَى is most correctly rendered as meaning لَوَاهُ, and صَرَفَهُ; and انغوى is quasi-pass. thereof. (TA.) The saying in the Kur [vii. 15], related as from Iblees, فَبِمَا أَغْوَيْتَنِى means [Then by, or because of,] thy having caused me to err: or, as some say, invited me to [do] a thing whereby I have erred. (TA.) But the saying in the same [xi. 36], إِِنْ كَانَ ا@للّٰهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُغْوِيَكُمْ is said to mean If God desire to punish you for erring: or to decree, against you, your erring [i. e. that ye shall err]. (TA.) 6 تَغَاوَوْا عَلَيْهِ ذ They collected themselves together, or combined, and aided one another, against him; (S, TA;) originally, (TA,) in an evil affair; from الغَىّ and الغَوَايَة: (S, TA:) or they aided one another against him, and slew him; (K;) but this addition “ and slew him ” is from a trad. respecting the slaying of 'Othmán, in which it is said, فَتَغَاوَوْا عَلَيْهِ وَا@للّٰهِ حَتَّى قَتَلُوهُ [and they collected themselves together, &c., against him, by God, so that they slew him]: (TA:) or they came against him from this quarter and from that; though they did not slay him: (ISd, K, TA:) or they collected themselves together, and aided one another, against him, as do those who err, or deviate from the right way or course; thus expl. by Z. (TA.) [See also 6 in arts. غى and عو.] 7 انغوى ذ signifies اِنْهَوَى and مَالَ [app. He declined from the right way or course; for all of these three verbs seem to be here used in one and the same sense, agreeably with a saying in the JK, المُنْغَوِى شِبْهُ المُنْهَوِى المَائِلُ]: (K:) [or rather,] accord. to Az, [it signifies he was, or became, or suffered himself to be, made to decline, or to turn, from the right way or course, by love, or desire; for he says that] it is quasi-pass. of غَوَاهُ الهَوَى, which signifies أَمَالَهُ and صَرَفَهُ: (TA:) or he fell into error by yielding to love and desire.
