أَجْلٌ is originally the inf. n. of أَجَلَ شَرًّا “ he committed evil; ” and is used to indicate the causation of crimes; and afterwards, by extension of its application, to indicate any causation: (Bd in v. 35:) one says, فَعَلْتُهُ مِنْ أَجْلِكَ , and ↓ من اـِجْلِكَ , (S, K,) and فَعَلْتُهُ أَجْلَكَ , and ↓ اـِجْلَكَ , (so in some copies of the K,) and من أَجْلَالِكَ , and من اـِجْلَالِكَ , (K, [belonging to art. جلو , in which also they are mentioned,]) and من أَجْلالِكَ , and من اـِجْلَالِكَ , (so in some copies of the K and in the TA, [belonging to art. جل ,]) i. e. [I did it] مِنْ جَرَّاكَ , (S,) which means [originally] in consequence of thy committing it: (Bd ubi suprà:) [and then, by extension of its application, as shown above, because of thee, or of thine act &c.; on thine account; for thy sake; as also لِأَجْلِكَ , which is more common in the present day:] or منْ جَلَلِكَ : (K:) and مِنْ أَجْلِهِ كَانَ كَذَا , i. e. بِسَبَبِهِ [Because of him, or it, it was thus, or such a thing was]. (Msb.) An instance of its occurrence without مِنْ [or لِ ] is presented by the saying of 'Adee Ibn-Zeyd, أَجْلَ أَنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدْ فَضَّلَكُمْ [Because that God hath made you to have excel-lence, or hath preferred you]. (TA.)

اـِجْلٌ أجال أجل أجلى اجل جال جل جلا جلى آجل , whence فَعَلْتُهُ مِنْ اـِجْلِكَ , and فَعَلْتُهُ اـِجْلَكَ : see أَجْلٌ , in two places.

أَجَلٌ , (S, Mughnee, K,) with the ل quiescent, (Mughnee,) is written with kesr and with fet-h [to the medial letter, i. e. ↓ أَجِلْ as well as أَجَلْ ] like نعم [which is written نَعِمٌ as well as نَعَمْ ]: (TA:) it is a particle (Mughnee) denoting a reply; like نَعَمْ ; (S, Mughnee, K;) importing acknowledgment of the truth of the speaker, to him who gives information; and the making a thing known, to him who asks information; and a promise, to him who seeks, or demands; (Mughnee;) i. e. It is as thou sayest [in the first case; and yes, or yea, in the same, and in the other cases]; (K voce بَسَلٌ ;) therefore it occurs after such sayings as “ Zeyd stood ” and “ did Zeyd stand? ” and “ beat thou Zeyd: ” but ElMálakee restricts the information to that which is affirmative, and the saying expressive of seeking or demanding to that which is without prohibition: and it is said by some that it does not occur after an interrogation: (Mughnee:) Er-Radee says, in the Expos. of the Káfiyeh, after Z and others, that it is to denote acknowledgment of the truth of information, and does not occur after a saying in which is the meaning of seeking, or demanding: (TA:) or, accord. to Z and Ibn-Málik and others, it relates particularly to information: and accord. to Ibn-Kharoof, it occurs mostly after information: (Mughnee:) in the Expos. of the Tes-heel, it is said to be for denoting acknowledgment of the truth of information, past or other, affirmative or negative, and not to occur after an interrogation: (TA:) Akh says that it is better than نَعَمْ (S, Mughnee, K *) after information, (Mughnee,) in acknowledging the truth of what is said; (S, Mughnee, K;) and نعم is better than it after an interrogation: (S, Mughnee, K:) so that when one says, سَوْفَ تَذْهَبُ [Thou wilt, or shalt, go away], thou sayest أَجَلْ [Yes]; and it is better than نعم : but when one says, أَتَذْهَبُ [Wilt thou go away?], thou sayest نعم ; and it is better than اجل . (S.)

أَجَلٌ The term, or period, of a thing: (S, K:) its assigned, appointed, or specified, term or period: this is the primary signification: (TA:) or the term, or period, and time of falling due, of a thing: (Msb:) pl. ا=جَالٌ . (Msb, K.) ― -b2- Hence, The period of women's waiting, before they may marry again, after divorce: as in the Kur ii. 231 and 232. (TA.) ― -b3- The period, or extremity of time, in which falls due a debt (K, TA) and the like. (TA.) You say, بَاعَهُ اـِيَّاهُ اـِلَي أَجَلٍ [He sold it to him for payment at an appointed period]: and سَلَّمَ الدَّارَاهِمَ فِى طَعَامٍ اـِلَي أَجَلٍ [He delivered the money for wheat, or the like, to be given at an appointed period]. (Msb in art. كلأ .) ― -b4- The term, or period, of death; (K;) the time in which God has eternally decreed the end of life by slaughter or otherwise: or, as some say, the whole duration of life: and its end: a man's life being thus termed: and his death, by which it terminates: (Kull p. 17:) the assigned, or appointed, duration of the life of a man. (TA.) One says, دَنَا أَجَلُهُ , meaning His death drew near; originally, ا@سْتِيفَا=ءُ الأَجَلِ the completion of the duration of life. (TA.) In the Kur vi. 128, (see 2, above,) the meaning is, The term of death: or, as some say, the term of extreme old age: (TA:) or the day of resurrection. (Bd, * Jel.) The words of the Kur [vi. 2] ثُمَّ قَضَى أَجَلًا وَ أَجَلٌ مَسَمَّى عِنْدَهُ mean [Then He decreed a term,] the term of death, and [there is a term named with Him,] the term of the resurrection: or the period between the creation and death, and the period between death and the resurrection; for اجل is applied to the end of a space of time and to the whole thereof: (Bd:) or the meaning is, the period of sleep, and the period of death: (Bd, TA:) or the period of those who have passed away, and the period of those who remain and those who are to come: (Bd:) or the period of remaining in this world, and the period of remaining in the world to come: or in both instances death is meant; [accidental, and natural;] for the اجل of some is by accidental means, as the sword, and drowning, and burning, and eating what disagrees, and other means of destruction; while some have their full periods granted to them and are preserved in health until they die a natural death: or the اجل of some is that of him who dies in a state of happiness and enjoyment; and of others, that of him who reaches a limit beyond which God has no ? appointed, in the natural course of this world, any one to remain therein; and to both of these, reference is made in the Kur [xvi. 72 and] xxii. 5. (TA.) ― -b5- Sometimes, also, it means Destruction: and thus it has been explained as occurring in the Kur [vii. 184], where it is said, وَأَنْ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدِ ا@ قْتَرَبَ أَجَلُهُمْ [And that, may be, their destruction shall have drawn near]. (TA.)
