مَنْ مَنَعَ صَدَقَةً فَإِنَّا آخِذُوهَا وَشَطْرَ مَالِهِ [Whoso refuses to render a poor-rate, verily we take it from him, and half of his property], thus related by Bahz, is a mistake, and the right wording is, وَشُطِرَ مَالُهُ, meaning and his property shall be divided into two halves, and the collector of the poor-rate shall have the option given him and shall take that rate from out of the better of the two halves, as a punishment for the man's refusal of the rate; (
O,
K;) but it is said that this law was afterwards abrogated: (
O:) Esh-
Sháfi'ee, however, says that, in the old time, when one refused the poor-rate of his property, it was taken from him, and half of his property was taken as a punishment for his refusal; and he adduces this
trad. as evidence thereof; but says that in recent times, only the poor-rate was taken from him, and this
trad. was asserted to be abrogated. (

tropical:) [Purification is part of faith]. (
TA.)
b5: Either the fore pair or the hind pair of the teats of a she-camel: she has two pairs of teats, a fore pair and a hind pair, and each pair is thus called: (
S,
K:) and either of the two teats of a ewe or she-goat: (
IAar,
TA:)
pl. أَشْطُرٌ. (
S,
TA.) Hence the saying, (
S,) فُلَانٌ حَلَبَ الدَّهْرَ أَشْطُرَهُ (
tropical:) Such a one has known, or tried, varieties of fortune: (
S, *
TA:) has experienced the good and evil of fortune; (

Kámil ” of
Mbr, one says of a man experienced in affairs, فُلَانٌ قَدْ حَلَبَ أَشْطُرَهُ (

Kur [ii. 139 and 144 and 145], فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ Then turn thou thy face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque. (

K;) like حَضُونٌ in this sense [and perhaps in others also, agreeably with what is said of شِطَارٌ in the first paragraph of this art.]: (
S in art. حَضن:) and (so in the
S and
O, but in the

Mgh,
Msb,) and a tribe. (
A.) And so ↓ شُطُرٌ in the phrase نَوًى شُطُرٌ [A distant tract, or region, towards which one journeys]: (
S,
K:) so too ↓ شَطُورٌ in the phrase نِيَّةٌ شَطُورٌ [which may mean as above, (like نِيَّةٌ شَطُونٌ,) or a remote, or farreaching, intention, or aim, or purpose]. (

Msb) and guile: (
TA:)
i. q. خَلِيعٌ [meaning as above, and having other similar meanings; generally vitious, or immoral; bad, evil, wicked, or mischievous]: (
A:)
accord. to some, it is
post-classical: Aboo-Is-hák says that it signifies one who takes a wrong course: it is also
expl. as signifying one who outstrips; like the [messenger called] بَرِيد, who takes a long journey in a short space of time: and hence, [as a conventional term of the mystics,] it is applied to one who outstrips, and is quick, in attaining nearness to God: or as meaning one who has wearied his family, and withdrawn far from them [n spirit], though with them [bodily], because of their inviting him to carnal lusts, and accustomed ways [of the world]: (
TA:) [in the present day, it is applied to a sharper, or clever thief: and to any clever, or cunning, person:]
