البغي: طلب تجاوز الاقتصاد فيما يتحرى، تجاوزه أم لم يتجاوزه، فتارة يعتبر في القدر الذي هو الكمية، وتارة يعتبر في الوصف الذي هو الكيفية، يقال: بغيت الشيء: إذا طلبت أكثر ما يجب، وابتغيت كذلك، قال الله عز وجل: لقد ابتغوا الفتنة من قبل [التوبة/ 48] ، وقال تعالى:
الباء والغين والياء أصلان: أحدهما طلب الشيء، والثاني جنس من الفساد. فمن الأول بغيت الشيء أبغيه: إذا طلبته. ويقال: بغيتك الشيء: إذا طلبته لك، وأبغيتك الشيء: إذا أعنتك على طلبه. والبغية والبغية الحاجة. وتقول: ما ينبغي لك أن تفعل كذا. وهذا من أفعال المطاوعة، تقول بغيته فانبغى، كما تقول كسرته فانكسر.
