accord. to one recital, he said لَا عَنْتُهُ: for when they differed respecting a thing, they used to come together, and say, اللّٰهِ عَلَى ↓ بَهْلَةُ الظَّالِمِ مِنَّا [The curse of God be upon such of us as is the wrongdoer!]. (

[Avicenna] in the
Kánoon; and he adds that it is of two species, small and great, both brought from the country of the رُوم: one species of the tree thereof has leaves like those of the سَرْو [or common, evergreen, cypress], has many thorns, and grows, or spreads, wide, (يَسْتَعْرِضُ,) not growing tall: the leaves of the other are like those of the طَرْفَآء [or tamarisk], the taste thereof is like [that of] the سَرْو, and it is drier, and less hot: (
TA:) or it is the produce of a kind of great tree, the leaves of which are like [those of] the طرفاء, and the fruit of which is like the نَبِق [or fruit of the lote-tree called سِدْر]; and it is not [the fruit of] the عرعر, as
J imagined it to be: the smoke thereof expels quickly the young in the womb: used as a liniment, with vinegar, it cures what is termed دَآء الثَّعْلَب [alopecia]: and with honey, it cleanses foul ulcers. (
K.) [In the present day, it is applied to the juniper-tree; as is also عَرْعَر; and particularly to the species thereof called the savin. See قَطِرَانٌ.]
