TA), صَفْقَتَانِ فِى صَفْقَةٍ رِبًا i. e. Two bargains in a [single] bargain [are an unlawful gain]: this is of two kinds: one is the seller's saying to the buyer, “I sell to thee such a thing for a hundred dirhems on the condition of thy buying of me this garment, or piece of cloth, for such a sum: ” the other kind is his saying, “I sell to thee this garment, or piece of cloth, for twenty dirhems on the condition of thy selling to me thy commodity for ten dirhems. ” (

TA,) the سَوَاد of the belly, (
TA,) [i. e. the liver,] and which is the part where the farrier perforates the beast (بَنْقُبُ مِنَ الدَّابَّةِ) [at the navel, in order that a yellow fluid may issue forth]: (
M,
TA:) or the صَفَاق is the part around the navel, where the farrier performs the operation above mentioned: (
AA,
TA:) or the skin which, when the مَسْك [or hide] is stripped off, remains cleaving to the belly, and the rending of which occasions a [rupture termed] فَتْق; so says
As, in the “ Book of the Horse: ” (
TA:) or what is between the جِلْد [or outer skin] and the مُصْرَان [or intestines into which the food passes from the stomach]; (
ISh,
O,

O,
K.)
b2: [In the
TA, in a verse of Aboo-Dhu-eyb describing a bow, to which it seems to be there applied as an
epithet, it is
expl. as signifying راجعة; but I think that this is a mistranscription for رَاجِفَةٌ, meaning Quivering.
b3: Freytag has assigned to it three explanations which belong to صِفَاقٌ.]
