جَنَى الثَّمَرَةَ, (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ,) aor. ـِ {يَجْنِىُ}, (Ṣ, Mṣb,) inf. n. جَنًى, (Ṣ, TA,) or جَنْىٌ, (so accord. to one copy of the Ṣ, and written in the accus. case جنيا in the Ḥam p. 355,) and جِنَايَةٌ, (Ḥam ib., but there without any vowel-signs,) He gathered, plucked, or took from the tree, the fruit; (Mgh, TA;) i. q.اجتناها↓ (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ) andتجنّاها↓: (Ḳ:) and in like manner one says of a thing similar to fruit. (TA.) One says also, جَنَاهَا لَهُ and جَنَاهُ إِيَّاهَا [He gathered it, plucked it, or took it from the tree, for him]. (AʼObeyd, Ḳ.) And جَنَيْتُكَ أَكْمُؤًا [I gathered for thee truffles]. (TA.) And جَنَى ذَهَبًا He collected gold from its mine. (TA.)

Aboo-Dhu-eyb uses this verb metaphorically, in the phrase جَنَى العُلَى, meaning ‡ [He acquired] eminence, or nobility. (TA.)

You also say, جَنَى عَلَيْهِ, (Ṣ,) or عَلَى قَوْمِهِ, (Mṣb,) inf. n. جِنَايَةٌ, (Ṣ, Mṣb,) ‡ He committed, [against him, or] against his people, or party, a crime, or an offence for which he should be punished; (Mṣb;) as alsoجاناهُ↓ [or جانى قَوْمِهِ]: (TḲ in art. جر:) [and ‡ he brought an injury upon him, or them:] and جَنَى الذَّنْبِ عَلَيْهِ, aor. ـِ {يَجْنِىُ}, inf. n. جِنَايَةٌ, (Ḳ,) with kesr, (TA,) ‡ He committed the crime, offence, or injurious action, against him; syn. جَرَّهُ إِلَيْهِ: (Ḳ: [see art. جر:]) thus used, also, the verb is metaphorical, from جَنَى الثَّمَرَةَ: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and so in the phrase, جَنَى شَرًّا, meaning ‡ He brought to pass an evil thing or action. (Mgh.) [See also جِنَايَةٌ, below.] It is said in a trad., لَا يَجْنِى جَانٍ إِلَّا عَلَى نَفْسِهِ † [An injurer shall not bring injury save on himself]; meaning that one shall not be prosecuted for an injurious action committed by another, of his relations or of others. (TA.) And a poet says,

* جَانِيكَ مَنْ يَجْنِى عَلَيْكَ وَقَدْ *

* تُعْدِى الصِّجَاحَ فَتَجْرَبُ الجُرْبُ *

[which may be rendered, † Thine injurer whom thou shouldst punish is he who brings an injury upon thee: but sometimes the mangy camels infect the sound ones so that these become mangy; and thus a criminal sometimes brings punishment upon his relations: for] AʼObeyd says that جانيك من يجنى عليك is a prov. applied to the case of a man who is punished for an injurious action; because brothers [sometimes] bring injury upon a man [by occasioning his being punished for an injurious action which they have themselves committed], as the latter hemistich of the verse cited above indicates: but AHeyth says that this prov. means الجَانِى لَكَ الخَيْرَ مَنْ يَجْنِى عَلَيْكَ الشَّرَّ [The person bringing thee good is he who brings, or will bring, upon thee evil: perhaps intended as a caution; for the Arabs often suspect that a benefactor has some evil intention]: and he cites the following hemistich:

* تُعْدِى الصِّحَاحَ مَبَارِكُ الجُرْبِ *

[meaning Sometimes the places where the mangy camels lie down, and which afford benefit to other camels, infect the sound ones]. (TA. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov., i. 298.]) You say also, جَنَيْتَ هٰذَا عَلَى نَفْسِكَ [Thou hast brought this as an injury upon thyself]. (Ḳ in art. جل.)

جانى عَلَيْهِ, inf. n. مُجَانَاةٌ, He accused him of a جِنَايَة [or crime,, &c.]. (TA.)

[This is what I have gathered, and the best of it is in it; when every gatherer but myself has his hand to his mouth]: or, accord. to one reading, وَهِجَانُهُ فِيهِ (which has the same meaning, TA in art. هجن): a prov., ascribed by Ibn-El-Kelbee to ʼAmr Ibn-'Adee El-Lakhmee, the son of the daughter of Jedheemeh: he says that Jedheemeh had ordered the people to gather for him truffles, and some of them ate the best that they found; but ʼAmr brought to him the best that he found, and addressed to him these words: and ʼAlee is related to have repeated them on an occasion of his entering the government-treasury; meaning that he had not defiled himself with anything of the tribute belonging to the Muslims, but had put it in its places. (TA.)
