1 صَبَا, (S, M, K,) aor. ـْ inf. n. صَبْوَةٌ, (S,) or صَبْوٌ, (M, K,) and صُبُوٌّ (S, M, K) and صِبًا [also written صِبًى, in the CK (erroneously) صَبًى,] and صَبَآءٌ, (M, K,) [app., in its primary acceptation, He was a youth, or boy, or child; agreeably with an explanation of a phrase in what follows, and with explanations of صِبًا and صَبَآءٌ which will be found below: b2: and hence,] He was, or became, youthfully ignorant, or foolish, or silly: (M, K:) [and, as seems to be indicated in the TA, he indulged in amorous dalliance; a sense in which the verb, more especially with صِبًا (q. v. infrà) for its inf. n., is very frequently used:] or he inclined to ignorant, or foolish, or silly, and youthful, conduct; and in like manner ↓ تصابى; from الصِّبَا, which is from الشَّوْق [i. e. “ desire ”]: (S: [see an ex. of the inf. n. of the latter verb in a verse cited voce شَابَ, in art. شيب:]) or صِبًا and صَبَآءٌ, as inf. ns., signify the inclining the heart to any one; and have other significations expl. in what follows: and ↓ تَصَابٍ signifies the manifesting passionate love, and desire: (KL:) [but صِبًا and صَبَآءٌ are often used in different senses: thus Et-Tebreezee says that] in the following hemistich of a poem by Dureyd Ibn-Es-Simmeh, صَبَا مَا صَبَا حَتَّى عَلَا الشَّيْبُ رَأْسَهُ the first صبا may be from الصِّبَى [or الصِّبَا], and the second صبا from الصَّبَآءُ signifying الفَتَآءُ; so that the meaning may be, He engaged in play, or sport, and الصِّبَى [or amorous dalliance, &c.], as long as he was a youth, [until hoariness came upon his head;] or the meaning may be, he engaged in الصِّبِى as long as he engaged therein, &c. (Ham p. 380.) And صَبِىَ, (S, M, K,) [aor. ـْ inf. n. صَبَآءٌ, (S,) or صِبًا, (M,) [or both, as will appear from what follows,] signifies He played, or sported, with the صِبْيَان [i. e. youths, or boys, or children]: (S:) or he acted in the manner of the صِبْيَان: (M, K: *) or both صِبًا and صَبَآءٌ, as inf. ns., signify the acting as a youth, or boy, or child; and the playing, or sporting, with youths, or boys, or children: (KL:) and ↓ تصبّى and ↓ تصابى, said of an old man, signify he acted in a youthful, boyish, or childish, manner. (TA.) b3: صَبَا, inf. n. صُبُوٌّ and صَبْوَةٌ, also signifies He inclined. (Msb.) You say, صَبَا إِلَيْهَا He inclined to her, namely, a woman; as also صَبِىَ: and in like manner, صَبَتْ إِلَيْهِ and صَبِيَتْ [She inclined to him]. (M.

(M, TA.) b2: صابى السَّيْفَ He put the sword into its غِمْد [which generally means its scabbard] (S, M, K,) or into its قِرَاب [which generally means its case for enclosing it together with its scabbard,] (TA,) reversed, or inverted: (S, M, K, TA:) or, accord. to the A, صابى سَيْفَهُ, and سِكِّينَهُ, means he put his sword, and his knife, into its قِرَاب not in the right manner: and one says to one who hands a knife, صَابِ سِكِّينَكَ i. e.

(M, K.) b7: صَابَيْنَا عَنِ الحَمْضِ is a phrase mentioned by Az as meaning We turned away from the [plants called] حمض. (TA.) b8: And one says, الجَوَارِى يُصَابِينَ فِى السِّتْرِ, meaning يطلعن [i. e.

يَطَّلِعْنَ, but I think that فِى is a mistranscription for مِن, and that the meaning is, The girls, or young women, look from within the curtain]. (TA.) 4 أَصْبَتْ She (a woman) had a child such as is termed صَبِىّ [i. e. a boy, or a young male child]; (S, M;) and a child, male or female. (S.)

(M, K.) 5 تَصَبَّوَ see 1, latter half: A2: and see also 4, in three places.6 تَصَاْبَوَ see 1, in three places: A2: and see also 4.10 استصبى, as stated by Freytag, is expl. by Reiske as signifying Pueriliter se et proterve gessit: A2: and by Jac. Schultens as signifying Pro puero habuit. But the usage of this verb in any sense is app. post-classical.]

صَبًا [is of the fem. gender, and] is a subst. and an epithet, [so that one says رِيحٌ صَبًا, as well as صَبًا alone and رِيحُ الصَّبَا,] (M, TA,) [and signifies The east wind: or an easterly wind:] the wind that blows from the place of sunrise: (Msb:) or the wind of which the mean place whence it blows is the place where the sun rises when the night and day are equal; the opposite wind of which is the دَبُور: (S:) or the wind that faces the House [of God, i. e. the Kaabeh; app. meaning that blows from the point opposite to the corner, of the Kaabeh, that is between the Black Stone and the door]; as though yearning towards the House: (M, TA:) or, accord. to IAar, (M,) the wind of which the place whence it blows extends from the place of rising of الثُّرَيَّا [or the Pleiades] to [the place of] بَنَات نَعْش [meaning the tail of Ursa Major]: (M, K:) [it is often commended by poets as a gentle and pleasant gale, like the Zephyr with us:] the dual is صَبَوَانِ and صَبَيَانِ: (Lh, M, K:) and pl. صَبَوَاتٌ and أَصْبَآءٌ. (M, K.) صِبًا [also written صِبًى] and ↓ صَبَآءٌ, the former with kesr and the short alif, and the latter with fet-h and the long alif, (S, Msb,) [both mentioned before as inf. ns.,] Youth, or boyhood; the state of the صَبِىّ [q. v.]: (S:) or childhood. (Msb.) One says, كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فِى صِبَاهُ and صَبَائِهِ [That was in his youth or boyhood: or in his childhood]. (Msb.) [See also an ex. in a verse cited in the first paragraph of art. شفع.] b2: And the former [or each, as is shown in the first sentence of this art.,] has also a signification derived from الشَّوْقُ [or “ desire; ” i. e., each signifies also An inclining to ignorant, or foolish, or silly, and youthful, conduct; and amorous dalliance]: (S:) and ↓ صَبْوَةٌ signifies [the same, as is also shown in the first sentence of this art., or, like صِبًا and صَبَآءٌ,] the ignorance, or foolishness, or silliness, of youth; (Lth, M, K;) and amorous dalliance. (Lth, TA.) [See an ex. of the first in a verse cited in the first paragraph of art. ادى; and another in a verse cited voce عَارَضَ.]

صَبْوَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

صَبَآءٌ: see صَبًا.

صَبِىٌّ A youth, boy, or male child; syn. غُلَامٌ: (S:) or a young male child; (Mgh, Msb;) before he is called غُلَام: (Mgh:) or one that has not yet been weaned, (M, K,) so called from the time of his birth: (M:) and ↓ صَابٍ signifies the same as صَبِىٌّ; these two words being like قَادِرٌ and قَدِيرٌ: (TA:) the pl. of the former is صِبْيَةٌ [a pl. of pauc., in which the و is changed into ى because of the kesreh before it, like as is said in the M respecting another of the pls.,] (S, M, Msb, K, but not in the CK,) and صِبْوَةٌ (M, K, TA, in the CK صَبْوَةٌ,) and صُبْيَةٌ (M, K) and صَبْيَةٌ, (K, TA, but not in the CK,) [or rather the last two are quasi-pl. ns.,] and أَصْبٍ [another pl. of pauc.] (K) and أَصْبِيَةٌ [also a pl. of pauc.], (M, K,) but this last is said by J to have been unused, because the usage of صِبْيَةٌ rendered it needless, (TA,) and صِبْيَانٌ, (S, M, Msb, K, but not in the CK,) in which the و is changed into ى because of the kesreh before it, (M,) and صُبْيَانٌ, (M, K,) as some say, preserving the ى notwithstanding the dammeh, (M,) and صِبْوَانٌ (M, K, but not in the CK,) and صُبْوَانٌ: (M, K:) and [ISd says,] accord. to Sb, the dim. of صِبْيَةٌ is ↓ أُصَيْبِيَةٌ, and that of أَصْبِيَةٌ is ↓ صُبَيَّةٌ, each irreg.; but in my opinion, صُبَيَّةٌ is the dim. of صِبْيَةٌ, and أُصَيْبِيَةٌ is that of أَصْبِيَةٌ: (M:) [J says,] أُصَيْبِيَةٌ occurs in poetry as being the dim. of أَصْبِيَةٌ. (S.) ↓ صَبِيَّةٌ signifies A young woman, girl, or female child; (S, TA;) and so too, [sometimes,] صَبِىٌّ: (TA:) and the pl. is صَبَايَا. (S TA.) b2: أُمُّ الصِّبْيَانِ is a term applied to The flatus, or flatulence, (الرِّيحُ,) that is incident to children. (TA in art. ام.) [Golius, in that art., explains it as meaning Larva, terriculamentum puerorum; on the authority of Meyd.: and also as meaning Epilepsy; on the authority of Ibn-Beytár.] b3: صَبِىٌّ also signifies (assumed tropical:) The pupil of the eye: (M, K:) but Kr ascribes this meaning to the vulgar. (M.) b4: And (tropical:) The extremity of each of the jaw-bones: (K, TA:) i. e. (TA) الصَّبِيَّانِ signifies the two extremities of the two jaw-bones (S, M, TA) of the camel and of other animals: or, as some say, the two edges curving outwards from the middle of the two jaw-bones: (M, TA:) or, accord. to the A, the thin portions of the two extremities thereof: and it is [said to be] tropical. (TA.) And (assumed tropical:) A bone below the lobe, or lobule, of each of the two ears: (K:) or, as some say, the head of the bone that is below the lobe, or lobule, of each of the two ears by the space of about three fingers put together. (M.) b5: And (tropical:) The edge (حَدّ) of the sword: (M, K, TA:) or the ridge thereof, (M, TA, in the copies of the K أَوْ غَيْرِهِ is erroneously put for أَوْ عَيْرُهُ, TA,) which rises in [i. e. along] its middle; (M, K, TA;) and likewise of a spear-head: (M, TA:) or, accord. to the A, that part of a sword below, or exclusive of, (دُونَ,) its ظُبَة [q. v.]. (TA.) b6: And (assumed tropical:) The head of the human foot; (M, A, TA; in the copies of the K رَأْسُ القَوْمِ is erroneously put for رَأْسُ القَدَمِ; TA;) i. e. the part [thereof] between its حِمَارَة [q. v.] and the toes. (A, TA.) And الصَّبِيَّانِ signifies also (assumed tropical:) The two sides of the [camel's saddle called] رَحْل. (M.) b7: It is also said that صِبْيَانُ الجَلِيدِ signifies (tropical:) The grains of hoar-frost that resemble pearls: and صِبْيَانُ المَطَرِ (tropical:) the small drops of rain: but accord. to the author of the “ Khasáïl,” it is صِئْبَان [pl. of صُؤَابَةٌ, q. v.], with ء and then ب. (TA.) صَبِيَّةٌ fem. of صَبِىٌّ, q. v.

صُبَيَّةٌ: see صَبِىٌّ, former half.

صَابٍ: see صَبِىٌّ, first sentence. b2: Also i. q. صَاحِبُ صَبْوَةٍ [i. e. One who indulges in youthful folly, and amorous dalliance]. (TA.) b3: Kureysh, (M,) or the Jews, (TA,) used to call the Companions of the Prophet صُبَاةٌ. (M, TA. [See صَابِئٌ, in art. صبأ.]) And Náfi' read [in the Kur ii. 59 and xxii. 17] الصَّابِينَ instead of الصَّابِئِينَ; (TA;) and [in v. 73] الصَّابِيُونَ instead of الصَّابِئُونَ. (TA voce صَابِئٌ.) b4: صُبَّى, a pl. of صَابٍ, is expl. as meaning Those who incline to conflicts and factions, seditions, or the like, and love to be foremost therein. (TA. [See صُبٌّ, in art. صب.]) الصَّابِيَةُ The oblique wind (النُّكَيْبَآءُ, dim. of النَّكْبَآءُ,) that blows in a direction between that of the east or easterly wind (الصَّبَا) and that of the north or northerly wind (الشَّمَال): (S, K:) it is very cold, (S and TA voce نَكْبَآءُ,) and very boisterous, and unattended by rain or by any good. (TA ibid.) أُصَيْبِيَةٌ: see صَبِىٌّ.

مُصْبٍ, (Ks, Az, M,) or مُصْبِيَةٌ, (S, A,) or both, (K,) applied to a woman, (Ks, Az, S, M, A, K,) and the former also applied to a man, (Er-Rághib, TA,) Having صِبْيَة [i. e. children, or young children, or young unweaned children], (S, Er-Rághib, A, *) or having a child such as is termed صَبِىّ.

مَصْبُوٌّ: see صَابِئٌ, in art. صبأ.

مُصَابِيَةٌ A calamity, or misfortune. (K.)

سق

ى1 سَقَاهُ, aor. ـْ (K,) inf. n. سَقْىٌ; (TA; [see also سِقَايَةٌ, which is likewise said to be an inf. n. of the same verb;]) and ↓ سقّاهُ, (K,) with teshdeed; (TA;) and ↓ اسقاهُ; (K, TA; [in the CK, erroneously, اسْتَقاهُ;]) all have one meaning; (TA;) [i. e. He gave him to drink, generally water, often milk, and sometimes poison or some other thing: and the first often signifies he watered him, namely, a beast; and in like manner seed produce &c., i. e. irrigated it; as will be shown by what follows:] or سَقَاهُ [is said when you mean he gave him drink] لِشَفَتِهِ [to his lip], (S,) or بِالشَّفَةِ [by means of the lip], as also ↓ سقّاهُ; and ↓ اسقاهُ means he directed him to water, (K,) or he watered (سَقَى) his cattle or his land: (S, * K:) or both of them, (K, TA,) i. e. سَقَاهُ and ↓ اسقاهُ, (TA,) signify he assigned to him, or gave to him, (جَعَلَ لَهُ,) water, (K, TA,) or drink, or water for irrigation; so that سَقَاهُ is like كَسَاهُ, and ↓ اسقى is like آَلْبَسَ, as Sb says: (TA:) or, as some say, سَقَيْتُهُ I gave him water to his mouth; and ↓ أَسْقَيْتُهُ, I assigned to him, or gave to him, (جَعَلْتُ لَهُ,) drink, or water for irrigation, that he might do as he would; and like them are كَسَوْتُهُ and أَكْسَيْتُهُ: (Ham p. 45:) Er-Rághib says that السَّقْىُ signifies the giving one drink; and ↓ الإِسْقَآءُ, the giving one drink so that he may take it howsoever he will; so that the latter is more ample in meaning than the former. (TA.) Both سَقَى and ↓ اسقى are sometimes used in relation to what is in the bellies of camels or other cattle; [meaning their milk;] as in the Kur [xxiii. 21], where it is said, مِمَّا فِى بُطُونِهَا ↓ نُسْقِيكُمْ, or نَسْقِيكُمْ, [i. e. We give you to drink of what is in their bellies,] accord. to different readings. (TA.) One says, سَقَاهُ المَآءَ, [He gave him to drink water, or the water,] inf. n. as above: (Mgh:) and المَآءَ ↓ سَقَّيْتُهُ [I gave him to drink water, or the water, much, or often]: the teshdeed denotes muchness, or frequency. (S.) [See also a tropical usage of the former verb in a verse cited in p. 85, col. 3: and another, from Tarafeh, in p. 134, col. 3. One says also, سَقَى المَآءَ, without a second objective complement, He supplied, or gave, water, or the water.] And سَقَيْتُ الزَّرْعَ, [I watered, or irrigated, the seed-produce,] inf. n. as above; as also ↓ أَسْقَيْتُهُ, (Msb.) And سَقَيْتُ فِى القِرْيَةِ and فِيهَا ↓ أَسْقَيْتُ [I poured water into the water-skin]: a poet says, [in one of my copies of the S, Dhu-r-Rummeh,] وَمَاشَنَّتَا خَرْقَآءَ وَاهٍ كِلَاهُمَا سَقَى فِيهِمَا مُسْتَعْجِلٌ لَمْ تَبَلَّلَا بِأَنْبَعَ مِنْ عَيْنَيْكَ لِلدَّمْعِ كُلَّمَا تَعَرَّفْتَ دَارًا أَوْ تَوَهَّمْتَ مَنْزِلَا [And two old and worn-out skins of an unskilful woman who has not sewed them well, each of them unsound, into which a person in haste has poured water, they not having been previously moistened, (تَبَلَّلَا being for تَتَبَلَّلَا,) are not more liable to the shedding of their water than are thine eyes to the shedding of tears whenever thou investigatest a dwelling or imaginest a place of alighting, or abode]. (S.) [and hence, app.,] سَقَى فُلَانٌ فِى ذَكَرِهِ (assumed tropical:) Such a one became vehemently affected by sexual appetite. (JK.) One says also, سَقَاهُ اللّٰهُ الغَيْثَ and ↓ اسقاهُ (S, Msb, * K) God sent down rain to him, or may God send &c.: (K:) both of these verbs being used by Lebeed in his saying, سَقَى قَوْمِى بَنِى مَجْدٍ وَأَسْقَى

نُمَيْرًا وَالقَبَائِلَ مِنْ هِلَالِ [May He send down rain to my people, the sons of Mejd, and may He send down rain to Numeyr, and the tribes of Hilál]. (S.) [Hence,] one says, سَقَى اللّٰهُ عَصْرَ الشَّبِيبَةِ (assumed tropical:) [May God freshen as with rain the times, or mornings, or afternoons, of youth, or young manhood]. (A and TA in art. شب.) And سَقَيْتُ فُلَانًا, (S,) and ↓ أَسْقَيْتُهُ, and ↓ سَقَّيْتُهُ, (S, K, *) which last is the form in most repute as expressive of a prayer, (Ham p. 45,) and of which the inf. n. is تَسْقِيَةٌ, (K,) I said to such a one سَقَاكَ اللّٰهُ [May God send down rain to thee], (S and K in explanation of the second and third,) or سَقْيًا [which virtually means the same, for سَقَاكَ اللّٰهُ سَقْيًا]: (S in explanation of the first and second, and K in explanation of the second and third:) [or,] accord, to some, one says سَقَيْتُهُ when it [which he gives, i. e. water or the like,] is in his hand; [agreeably with the first explanation in this art.;] and ↓ أَسْقَيْنُهُ signifies I prayed for him, saying سَقْيًا لَكَ. (Msb.) b2: سَقَى بَطْنُهُ, (JK, S, MA, K,) inf. n. سَقِىٌ; (JK, S;) and سُقِىَ, (JK, IAth, TA,) or سَقِى, aor. ـْ inf. n. سِقًى or سَقًى; (MA;) and ↓ استسقى; (JK, S, K; [in my copy of the Msb استقى, which I doubt not to be a mistranscription, as the verb most commonly known in the sense here following is استسقى, and as this is not there mentioned;]) His belly [was, or became, diseased with dropsy, i. e.] had yellow water [meaning serum] (JK, S, Msb, K, * TA) apparent in it, (JK,) or collected in it; (S, K, TA;) for which there is scarcely, or never, any cure; (Msb, TA;) his belly became swollen [with dropsy]. MA.) b3: [In the phrase written in the CK سُقِىَ قُلْبُهُ عَدَاوَةًُ, the verb is correctly سُقِىَ: see 2.] b4: سَقَىالعَرَقُ The sweat flowed without stopping. (TA.) b5: سَقَى التَّوْبَ, and ↓ سقّاهُ, He made the garment, or piece of cloth, to imbibe a dye. (TA.) b6: [سَقَى also signifies He tempered steel; and is used in this sense in the present day: and accord. to a reading in one of my copies of the S, in art. شرخ, ↓ سقّى also has this meaning.]

b7: See also 4, last sentence.2 سَقَّىَ see 1, in six places. b2: سُقِىَ قَلْبُهُ عَدَاوَةً, (K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, سُقِىَ,]) and بِالعَدَاوَةِ, (TA, and thus, and thus only, in the JK,) inf. n. تَسْقِيَةٌ, (JK, TA,) (tropical:) His heart was made to imbibe enmity, (K, TA,) is said of a man to whom a thing that he dislikes, or hates, has been repeatedly done.

(TA.) 4 أَسْقَىَ see 1, in thirteen places. b2: One says also, أَسْقَيْتُهُ رَكِيَّتِى I assigned to him my well [to draw water therefrom]: and أَسْقَيْتُهُ جَدْوَلًا مِنْ نَهْرِى I assigned to him [a streamlet as] a place, or source, of irrigation, from my river, or rivulet; and أَسْقَيْتُ لَهُ مِنْهُ [which means the same]. (TA.) b3: And اسقاهُ It produced in him [dropsy, or] yellow water. (JK.

ثم منازل ابني وائل بكر وتغلب. وقال أبو المنذر هشام بن محمد في كتابه في افتراق العرب:
ودخلت قبائل ربيعة ظواهر بلاد نجد والحجاز، وأطراف تهامة، وما والاها من البلاد، وانقطعوا إليها، وانتثروا فيها، فكانوا بالذنائب، وواردات، والأحصّ، وشبيث، وبطن الجريب، والتّغلمين، وما بينها وما حولها من المنازل. وروت العلماء الأئمة، كأبي عبيدة وغيره: أن كليبا، واسمه وائل بن ربيعة بن الحارث بن مرّة بن زهير بن جشم ابن بكر بن حبيب بن عمرو بن غنم بن تغلب بن وائل، قال يوما لامرأته، وهي جليلة بنت مرّة أخت جساس بن مرة بن ذهل بن شيبان بن ثعلبة بن عكابة بن صعب بن علي بن بكر بن وائل، وأمّ جساس هبلة بنت منقذ بن سلمان بن كعب بن عمرو ابن سعد بن زيد مناة بن تميم، وكانت أختها البسوس نازلة على ابن أختها جسّاس بن مرّة، قال لها: هل تعرفين في العرب من هو أعزّ مني؟ قالت: نعم، أخواي جسّاس وهمّام، وقيل: قالت نعم، أخي جسّاس وندمانه عمرو المزدلف بن أبي ربيعة الحارث بن ذهل بن شيبان. فأخذ قوسه وخرج فمرّ بفصيل لناقة البسوس فعقره، وضرب ضرع ناقتها حتى اختلط لبنها ودمها، وكانا قد قاربا حماه، فأغمضوا له على ذلك، واستغاثت البسوس، ونادت بويلها.
فقال جسّاس: كفّي، فسأعقر غدا جملا هو أعظم من عقر ناقة. فبلغ ذلك كليبا، فقال: دون عليّان خرط القتاد. فذهبت مثلا، وعليّان فحل إبل كليب. ثم أصابتهم سماء فمرّوا بنهر يقال له شبيث، فأراد جساس نزوله، فامتنع كليب قصدا للمخالفة. ثم مرّوا على الأحصّ، فأراد جساس وقومه النزول عليه، فامتنع كليب قصدا للمخالفة. ثم مرّوا ببطن الجريب، فجرى أمره على ذلك، حتى نزلوا الذنائب، وقد كلّوا وأعيوا وعطشوا، فأغضب ذلك جسّاسا، فجاء وعمرو المزدلف معه، فقال له: يا وائل، أطردت أهلنا من المياه حتى كدت تقتلهم؟ فقال كليب: ما منعناهم من ماء إلّا ونحن له شاغلون، فقال له: هذا كفعلك بناقة خالتي، فقال له: أو ذكرتها؟ أما إني لو وجدتها في غير إبل مرّة، يعني أبا جساس، لاستحللت تلك الإبل.
فعطف عليه جساس فرسه وطعنه بالرمح فأنفذه فيه.
فلما أحسّ بالموت، قال: يا عمرو اسقني ماء، يقول ذلك لعمرو المزدلف، فقال له: تجاوزت بالماء الأحصّ، وبطن شبيث. ثم كانت حرب ابني وائل، وهي حرب البسوس، أربعين سنة، وهي حروب يضرب بشدتها المثل. قالوا: والذنائب عن يسار ولجة للمصعد إلى مكة، وبه قبر كليب. وقد حكى هذه القصة بعينها النابغة الجعدي، يخاطب عقال بن خويلد، وقد أجار بني وائل ابن معن، وكانوا قتلوا رجلا من بني جعدة، فحذّرهم مثل حرب البسوس وحرب داحس والغبراء، فقال في ذلك:
فأبلغ عقالا، إنّ غاية داحس ... بكفّيك، فاستأخر لها، أو تقدّم
تجير علينا وائلا بدمائنا، ... كأنّك، عمّا ناب أشياعنا، عم
كليب لعمري كان أكثر ناصرا، ... وأيسر جرما منك، ضرّج بالدم
رمى ضرع ناب، فاستمرّ بطعنة ... كحاشية البرد اليماني المسهّم
وقال لجسّاس: أغثني بشربة، ... تفضّل بها، طولا عليّ، وأنعم
فقال: تجاوزت الأحصّ وماءه، ... وبطن شبيث، وهو ذو مترسّم
فهذا كما تراه، ليس في الشعر والخبر ما يدلّ على أنها بالشام. وأما الأحصّ وشبيث بنواحي حلب، وقد تحقق أمرهما، فلا ريب فيهما، أما الأحصّ فكورة كبيرة مشهورة، ذات قرّى ومزارع، بين القبلة وبين الشمال من مدينة حلب، قصبتها خناصرة، مدينة كان ينزلها عمر بن عبد العزيز، وهي صغيرة، وقد خربت الآن إلّا اليسير منها. وأما شبيث، فجبل في هذه الكورة أسود، في رأسه فضاء، فيه أربع قرى، وقد خربت جميعها. ومن هذا الجبل يقطع أهل حلب وجميع نواحيها حجارة رحيّهم، وهي سود خشنة، وإياها عنى عدي بن الرقاع بقوله:
وإذا الربيع تتابعت أنواؤه، ... فسقى خناصرة الأحصّ وزادها
فأضاف خناصرة الى هذا الموضع، وإياها عنى جرير أيضا بقوله:
عادت همومي بالأحصّ وسادي، ... هيهات من بلد الأحصّ بلادي
لي خمس عشرة من جمادى ليلة، ... ما أستطيع على الفراش رقادي
ونعود سيّدنا وسيّد غيرنا، ... ليت التّشكي كان بالعوّاد
وأنشد الأصمعي، في كتاب جزيرة العرب، لرجل من طيّء، يقال له الخليل بن قردة، وكان له ابن واسمه زافر، وكان قد مات بالشام في مدينة دمشق، فقال:
ولا آب ركب من دمشق وأهله ... ولا حمص، إذ لم يأت، في الركب، زافر
ولا من شبيث والأحصّ ومنتهى ال ... مطايا بقنسّرين، أو بخناصر
وإياه عنى ابن أبي حصينــة المعرّي بقوله:
لجّ برق الأحصّ في لمعانه، ... فتذكّرت من وراء رعانه
فسقى الغيث حيث ينقطع الأو ... عس من رنده ومنبت بانه
أو ترى النّور مثل ما نشر البر ... د، حوالي هضابه وقنانه
تجلب الريح منه أذكى من المس ... ك، إذا مرّت الصّبا بمكانه
وهذا، كما تراه، ليس فيه ما يدل على أنه إلا بالشام. فإن كان قد اتفق ترادف هذين الاسمين بمكانين بالشام، ومكانين بنجد، من غير قصد، فهو عجب. وإن كان جرى الأمر فيهما، كما جرى لأهل نجران ودومة، في بعض الروايات، حيث أخرج عمر أهلهما منهما، فقدموا العراق، وبنوا لهم بها أبنية، وسموها باسم ما أخرجوا منه، فجائز أن تكون ربيعة فارقت منازلها، وقدمت الشام، فأقاموا بها، وسموا هذه بتلك، والله أعلم. وينسب إلى أحصّ حلب، شاعر يعرف بالناشي الأحصّي، كان في أيام سيف الدولة أبي الحسن علي بن حمدان، له خبر ظريف، أنا مورده ههنا، وإن لم أكن على ثقة منه، وهو
أن هذا الشاعر الأحصّي دخل على سيف الدولة، فأنشده قصيدة له فيه، فاعتذر سيف الدولة بضيق اليد يومئذ، وقال له: أعذر فما يتأخر عنا حمل المال إلينا، فإذا بلغك ذلك فأتنا لنضاعف جائزتك، ونحسن إليك. فخرج من عنده فوجد على باب سيف الدولة كلابا تذبح لها السّخال وتطعم لحومها، فعاد إلى سيف الدولة فأنشده هذه الأبيات:
رأيت بباب داركم كلابا، ... تغذّيها وتطعمها السّخالا
فما في الأرض أدبر من أديب، ... يكون الكلب أحسن منه حالا
ثم اتفق أن حمل إلى سيف الدولة أموال من بعض الجهات على بغال، فضاع منها بغل بما عليه، وهو عشرة آلاف دينار، وجاء هذا البغل حتى وقف على باب الناشي الشاعر بالأحصّ، فسمع حسّه، فظنّه لصّا، فخرج إليه بالسلاح، فوجده بغلا موقرا بالمال، فأخذ ما عليه من المال وأطلقه. ثم دخل حلب ودخل على سيف الدولة وأنشده قصيدة له يقول فيها:
ومن ظنّ أن الرّزق يأتي بحيلة، ... فقد كذّبته نفسه، وهو آثم
يفوت الغنى من لا ينام عن السّرى، ... وآخر يأتي رزقه وهو نائم
فقال له سيف الدولة: بحياتي! وصل إليك المال الذي كان على البغل؟ فقال: نعم. فقال: خذه بجائزتك مباركا لك فيه. فقيل لسيف الدولة: كيف عرفت ذلك؟ قال عرفته من قوله:
وآخر يأتي رزقه وهو نائم
بعد قوله:
يكون الكلب أحسن منه حالا
