TA,) قَدْ جَمَعَ القُرْآنُ ذَيْلَكِ فَلَا تَنْدَحِيهِ, i. e., [The

S,
L,
K,) or do not spread it abroad, (
L,) by thy going forth to El-Basrah: (
S,
L,
K:) the pronoun ه refers to the word ذيل: the speaker alluded to the words of the
Kur-án, [xxxiii. 33,] وَقَرْنَ فِى بُيُوُتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ. (

9 إِنْدَحَّ بَطْنُهُ,

S.) This, says
IB, is its proper art., not art. دح. (
TA, art. دح, in which
J also mentions it.)
F says, that
J is in error in mentioning this verb, as also in mentioning إِنْدَاحَ بَطْنُهُ,
inf. n. إِنْدِيَاحٌ, in the present art.; the proper place of the former being in art. دح; and that of the latter, in art. دوح: but
MF says, that
J has merely mentioned them here because of the resemblance of their radical letters and significations to the radical letters and significations belonging to this art. (
