From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root وقت. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

وَقَتَ , aor. يَقِتُ , inf. n. وَقتٌ ; and ↓ وقّت , inf. n. تَوْقِيتٌ ; He determined, defined, or limited, a thing as to time; (IAth, L, Msb;) and otherwise: (L, Msb:) he determined, or defined, times. (S, K.) وَقَتَهُ He declared [or appointed] a time in which it should be done. (S.) وَقَتَ اللّٰهُ الصلَاةَ , aor. يَقِتُ ; and ↓ وَقَّتَهَا , God hath determined, or defined, a time for prayer. (Msb.) ↓ وقّت , as also أَقَّتَ , He assigned, or appointed, for a thing, a particular time; he assigned, or appointed, a particular time for doing a thing. (IAth, L.) لِيَوْمِ ↓ وَقَّتُّهُ كَذَا [I appointed him, or it, for such a day]; like أَجَّلْتُهُ . (S.) ― -b2- In the following words of the Kur. [lxxvii. 11,] وَاـِذَا الرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ , ↓ اقتت is a dial. form of وُقِّتَتْ , like as أُجُوهٌ is of وُجُوهٌ ; (S;) and the meaning is And when the Apostles shall have one [particular] time assigned to them to decide between the people [to whom they have been sent to preach]: (Zj:) or, shall be collected at their appointed time, on the day of resurrection. (Fr.) This is the general reading: but there are other reading; namely, وُقِّتَتْ , and وُقِتَتْ , (S, TA,) and وُوقِتَتْ , which last is of the measure فُوعِلَتْ , from المُوَاقَتَةُ . (K.) ― -b3- لَمْ يَقِتْ فى الخَمْرِ حَدًّا He (Mohammad) did not determine, or define, for [drinking wine,] a castigation consisting of a certain number [of blows, or stripes]. (TA, from a trad.) ― -b4- وَقَتَ sometimes signifies He [i. e. God] made the entering upon the state of اـِحْرَام in pilgrimage, and prayer at the commencement of its appointed time, obligatory, or incumbent, upon men. (TA.) ― -b5- لِأَهْلِ المَدِينَةِ ذَا الحُلَيْفَةِ ↓ وَقَّتَ He appointed, for the people of El-Medeeneh, Dhu-l-Huleyfeh as the place where they should enter upon the state of اـِحْرَام .

وَقَّتَ see 1 throughout.

واقتهُ , inf. n. مُوَاقَتَهٌ , [He made an appointment with him for a particular time]. (K.)

وَقْتٌ (S, K) A time; or space, or measure, of time, (M, L, K, Msb,) appointed for any affair; a season: (Msb:) mostly used with respect to what is past: (M, K:) sometimes with respect to the future: (TA:) as also ↓ مِيقَاتٌ , (K, Msb:) or, accord. to some, there is a difference between these two words; the former having an absolute signification, and the latter signifying a time appointed for the performance of some action: [as in the S:] (TA:) pl. of the former أَوْقَاتٌ , and of the latter مَوَاقِيتُ . (Msb.) [Hence, وَقْتَيءِذٍ Then; at that time.] ― -b2- وَقْتٌ (tropical:) A space, or measure, of local extension; as a mile, &c. (Sb.)

مَوْقِتٌ , [of the measure] مَفْعِلٌ from الوَقْتُ : (S, K:) [it may therefore be an inf. n., or a noun of place, or a noun of time]. El-'Ajjáj says, وَالجَامِعُ النَّاسَ لِيَوْمِ المَوْقِتِ [And He who congregateth mankind for the day of the appointment of a particular time, or, of the place of a certain event, or, of the time of a certain event; i. e., for the day of resurrection]. (S.)

مِيقَاتٌ : see وَقْتٌ . ― -b2- Also, A place in which a certain action is appointed to be performed. (S.) Ex. مِيقَاتُ الحَجِّ The place where the pilgrims enter upon the state of اـِحْرَام : (S, K:) you say, هٰذَا ميقاتُ أَهْلِ الشَّأْمِ This is the place where the people of Syria enter upon the state of احرام . (S.) ― -b3- [Also, A place in which a meeting is appointed to take place at a particular time. Ex.] الا=خِرَةُ مِيقَاتُ الخَلْقِ [The world to come is the place in which mankind are appointed to meet after the resurrection]. (L.) ― -b4- [Also, That which determines the commencement, or the like, of a period &c. Ex.] الهِلَالُ ميقاتُ الشَّهْرِ [The crescent is that which determines the commencement of the month]. (L.) ― -b5- See also مَوْقِتٌ .

مَوْقُوتٌ and ↓ مُوَقَّتٌ Determined, defined, definite, or limited, as to time. (L.) ― -b2- وَقْتٌ مَوْقُوتٌ , and ↓ مُوَقَّتٌ , A determined, defined, definite, or limited, time. (K.) ― -b3- اـِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى المُوءْمِنِينَ كِتَابًا مَوْقُوتًا [Kur. iv. 104,] For prayer is to the believers a prescript, or an appointment, or ordinance, ordained [to be performed] in the times [thereof]. (S, K, &c.) ― -b4- Also [ مَوْقُوثٌ (see 1) and] ↓ مُوَقَّتٌ Determined, defined, or definite, as to its extreme limit, extent, or amount: (L:) both signify anything defined, definite, or limited. (Msb.)
