You say, مَنَّ عَلَيْهِ شَيْأً , and بِشَىْءٍ , which latter is more common, and عليه بِهِ ↓ امتنّ He conferred, or bestowed, a thing upon him as a favour.

مَنْ [used for مَا in the sense of What? as in the following of El-Khansà, أَلَا مَنْ لِعَيْنِى لَا تَجِفُّ دُمُوعُهَا O! what aileth mine eye, that its tears dry not? quoted in the TA, art. فثأ .] ― -b2- مَنْ : respecting its dual مَنَانْ and مَنَيْنْ , and its pl. مَنُونْ and مَنِينْ , see I'Ak, p. 319. ― -b3- مَنْ لِى بِكَذَا : see بِ (near the end of the paragraph).

مِنْ : ― -b2- زَيْدٌ أَعْقَلُ مِنْ أَنْ يَكْذِب means مِنَ الذَِّى يَكْذِبُ (Kull, p. 78) [i. e. Zeyd is more reasonable than he who lies: but, though this is the virtual meaning, the proper explanation, accord. to modern usage, is, that أَنْ is here for أَنَّ with the adjunct pronoun هُ ; for in a phrase of this kind, an adjunct pronoun is sometimes expressed; so that the aor. must be marfooa; and the literal meaning is, Zeyd is more reasonable than that he will lie; which is equivalent to saying, Zeyd is too reasonable to lie. It may be doubted, however, whether a phrase of this kind be of classical authority. The only other instance that I have found is هُوَ أَحْصَنُ مِنْ أَنْ يْرَام وَأَعَزُّ مِن أَنْ يُضَام , in the TA, voce أَلْ . Accord. to modern usage, one may say, أَنْتَ أَعْقَلُ مِنْ أَنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ كَذَا , which virtually means Thou art too reasonable to do such a thing; and here we cannot substitute ا@لَّذِن for أَنّ . See أَنْ for أَنَّ .] ― -b3- أَخْزَى ا@للّٰهُ الكَاذِبَ مِنِّى وَمِنْكَ : see أَىٌّ ― -b4- لَقِيتُ مِنْهُ أَسَدًا : see أَسْدٌ : and لَقِيتُ ― -b5- مِنْهُ بَحْرًا ; and رَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ بَحْرًا : see بحر ― -b6- مِنْ in the sense of عِنْدَ : see جَدٌّ ― -b7- جَرَى مِنْهُ مَجْرَى كَذَا : see 1 in art. جرى ― -b8- مِنْ and عَنْ , differences between: see عَنْ ― -b9- مِنْ often means Some. ― -b10- Often redundant: see 1 in art. عيض . ― -b11- Of, or among: see two exs. voce فِى , latter part. ― -b12- حُسَيْنٌ مِنِّى وَأَنَا مِنْهُ Hoseyn and I are as one thing, [as though each were a part of the other,] in respect of the love that is due to us, &c. (Commencement of a tradition in the Jámi' es-Sagheer: thus explained in the Expos. of El-Munáwee.) See Ham, p. 139; and De Sacy's Gr. i. 492. ― -b13- مَا أَنَا مَنْ دَدٍ وَلَا الدَّدُ مِنِّى : see art. دد . IbrD confirms my rendering of this saying. ― -b14- يَتَعَرَّضُ اـِلَى شَىْءٍ لَيْسَ مِنْهُ [He applies himself to a thing not of his business to do]. (TA, art. عش .) ― -b15- لَيْسَ مِنَّا He is not of our dispositions, nor of our way, course, or manner, of acting, or the like. (TA, art. غش .) ― -b16- لَيْسَ مِنِّى (Kur, ii. 250) He is not of my followers: (Bd, Jel:) or he is not at one, or in union, with me. (Bd. See 1 in art. طعم .) See a similar usage of من , voce عِيصٌ . ― -b17- أَنَا مِنْهُ كَحَاقِنِ الاـِهَالَةِ : see حَاقِنٌ ― -b18- مِنْ is used in the sense of فى in the phrase مِنْ يَوْمِ الجُمْعَةِ [In, or on, the day of congregation] in the Kur lxii. 9. (K, Jel.) So, too, in مِنْ يَوْمِهِ In, or on, his, meaning, the same, day: and مِنْ سَاعَتِهِ In, or at, his, meaning the same, instant of time. See also De Sacy's Gr., ii. 526.

مُنَ ا@للّٰهِ is for أَيْمُنُ اللّٰه .
