مُسْتَعْسِبٍ أَرِبٍ مِنْهُ بِتَمْهِيرِ He came [beating the ground with his feet] like as a horse comes [so beating the ground] to a man borrowing him for covering, wanting by his means to procure for himself a colt.

(K, TA.) In like manner, a certain man gave to another property, and he married with it the daughter of the giver, and then reproached her for the dowry he had given her: so they said, كَالْمَمْهُورَةِ مِنْ مَالِ أَبِيهَا [Like her who has been dowered from the property of her father]: (K, TA:) [a proverb] applied in relation to him who reproaches for that which is not his own.
