(TA.) b2: ناقة كَسِيرٌ (S, K) i. q. مَكْسُورَةٌ [lit., A broken she-camel,] (K,) is like the phrase كَفٌّ خَضِيبٌ, (S, TA,) meaning مَخْضُوبَةٌ: (TA;) or a she-camel having one of its legs broken: (Mgh:) and شَاةٌ كَسِيرٌ a sheep, or goat, having one of its legs broken: كسير being of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ: (Mgh, Msb:) and كَسِيرَةٌ also, [app. as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant,] like نَطِيحَةٌ: (Msb:) كَسِيرٌ, occurring in a trad. is explained as signifying a sheep, or goat, having a broken leg, that cannot walk; (IAth, * Mgh;) but this requires consideration.

نذر

1 نَذَرَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ, (Yoo, Akh, T, S, M, A, * K,) aor. ـِ and نَذُرَ, (M, K,) inf. n. نَذْرٌ (Yoo, Akh, S, M, K,) and نُذُورٌ, (M, K,) [He made a vow; imposed upon himself a vow; أَنْ يَفْعَلَ كَذَا that he would do such a thing; either absolutely, or conditionally, as will be explained below;] he made [a future action] binding, or obligatory, on himself; (T, M, A, K;) as also ↓ انتذر. (K.) And نَذْرًا ↓ انتذر signifies the same as نَذَرَ [He vowed a vow]. (Sgh.) You say also نَذَرْتُ مَالِى, aor. ـُ [and نَذِرَ as implied in the K] inf. n. نَذْرٌ, [I vowed my property; made a vow to give it.] (Yoo, Akh, S, K. *) And نَذَرْتُ لِلّٰهِ كَذَا, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ and نَذِرَ, (S, Msb,) inf. n. نَذْرٌ, (Msb,) I made it binding, or obligatory, on myself, [i. e., I vowed,] of my own free will, to do or to give such a thing to God; namely, some religious service, or an alms, &c.: (TA:) or نَذْرٌ signifies the promising conditionally; as when one says, “Such a thing shall be obligatory on me if God restore to health my sick [son or other]: ”

this is termed نَذْرٌ: but the saying “ I impose upon myself the giving a deenár as alms,” is not so termed. (K.) The doing this is repeatedly forbidden in traditions: but what is meant thereby is, one's doing so in the belief that he may attain by it something which God has not decreed to betide him, or that he may divert from himself something decreed to befall him: yet if he do so, fulfilment is obligatory on him. (IAth.) Yousay also, نَذَرَ الوَلَدَ, (M, K,) and نَذَرَتْهُ, (M,) He (the father, M, K) and she (the mother, M) appointed the child [by a vow] to be a minister or servant to the church, (M, K,) or to a place appropriated to religious services or exercises, or acts of devotion: (TA:) so in the Kur, iii. 31. (M.) A2: نَذِرَ بِالشَّىْءِ, aor. ـَ (M, IKtt, Msb, K,) inf. n. نَذَرٌ (M, IKtt) and نَذَارَةٌ and نِذَارَةٌ, (IKtt,) or, as some assert, it has no inf. n., like عَسَى &c., the Arabs being content to use in its stead أَنْ followed by the verb, as is said in the 'Ináyeh, on the Kur, chap. xiv., (MF,) He knew of the thing: (Msb:) or he knew of the thing and was cautious of it or on his guard against it or in fear of it. (M, K.) You say also نَذِرَ القَوْمُ بالعَدُوِّ (S, A) The people knew of the enemy: (S:) or knew of the enemy and prepared themselves for them: (A:) or knew of the enemy and were cautious of them or on their guard against them or in fear of them. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., إِنْذَرِ القَوْمَ Have thou knowledge of the people and be cautious of them or on thy guard against them or in fear of them. (TA.) 4 أَنْذَرْتُهُ بِالأَمْرِ, (M, K,) and انذرته الشَّىْءَ, (Msb,) inf. n. إِنْذَارٌ (T, S, M, Msb, K) and نُذْرٌ (M, K) the latter accord. to Kr, but correctly it is a simple subst., (M,) and نُذُرٌ, (T, K,) or this is pl. of نَذِيرٌ, (T,) and نَذْرٌ, (K,) accord. to Lh and Kr, (TA,) [but this is properly a simple subst.,] and نَذِيرٌ, (M, K,) accord. to Zj, (M,) or Ez-Zejjájee, (TA,) but this should rather be regarded as a simple subst., (T, M,) I informed him, or advised him, of the thing: (M, K, TA:) this is the primary signification: (TA:) and [I warned him of the thing;] I cautioned him, or put him on his guard, against the thing, and put him in fear, (M, * K,) in my communication or announcement: (K:) in this sense the verb is used in the Kur, xl. 18: (M, TA:) or I announced to him the thing, (S, * Msb,) generally in a case of putting in fear the person addressed, or frightening him, (Msb,) or never otherwise than in such a case: (S:) and thus the verb is used in the Kur, ubi supra., وَأَنْذرْهُم يَوْمَ آلازِفَةِ [and warn them and put them in fear of the day of the approaching event, the day of resurrection] meaning, put them in fear of its punishment: (Msb:) and أَنْذَزْتُهُ بِكَذَا I informed him, or advised him, of such a thing. (Msb.) انذرهُ also signifies He (a spy) informed him, or advised him, of the state of the enemy: in the copies of the K, نَذَرَهُ; but this is a mistake. (TA.) And you say, أَنْذَرْتُ القَوْمَ مَسِيرَ العَدُرِّ

إِلَيْهِمْ I informed the people of the march of the enemy towards them, to put them on their guard. (T.) And أَنْذَرْتُ القَوْمَ بِالعَدُوِّ, and أَنْذَرْتُهُمُ العَدُوَّ, signify the same. (A.) It is said in a proverb, قَدْ أَعْذَرَ مَنْ أَنْذَرَ, meaning, He hath become excused, and averted from himself the blame of men, who hath warned thee that he will punish thee for a future evil deed proceeding from thee, if thou then do the evil deed and he punish thee. (T.) See also أَعْذَرَ, in two places: and see عُذْرٌ.6 تناذر القَوْمُ The people warned, or cautioned, one another, or put one another in fear, (M, K,) of a terrifying evil. (TA.) You say تناذر القَوْمُ كَذَا The people warned one another, (S,) and put one another in fear, of such a thing. (S, A.) A poet says, (S,) namely, En-Nábighah, (T, TA,) describing a serpent, (T,) and his being threatened by En-Noamán so that he passed the night as though he had been stung, turning over and over upon his bed, (TA,) تَنَاذَرَهَا الرَّاقُونَ مِنْ سُوْءِ سَمِّهَا تُطَلِّقُهُ طَوْرًا وَطَوْرًا تُرَاجِعُ [Of which the charmers have warned one another, and put one another in fear, on account of the evil nature of its poison, which it discharges one time and one time draws back]. (T, S, TA.) 8 إِنْتَذَرَ see نَذَرَ, in two places.10 استنذر إِلَيْهِ He offered warning to him (A, TA, art. عذر.) See استعذر.

نَذْرٌ A vow, which a man makes to be binding, or obligatory, on himself; (T, M, * K, * TA;) [either absolutely, or conditionally: (see نَذَرَ:)] pl. نُذُورٌ: (S, M, K: *) and in the following verse of Ibn-Ahmar, some say that نُذُر is pl. of نَذْرٌ, like as رُهُنٌ is pl. of رَهْنٌ; but others say that it is pl. of نَذِيرٌ in the sense of مَنْذُورٌ: كَمْ دُونَ لَيْلَى مِنْ تَنُوفِيَّةٍ

لَمَّاعَةٍ تُنْذَرُ فِيهَا النُّذُرْ [How many a waterless desert glistening with the mirage, in which vows, or things vowed, are vowed, lie in the way to Leylà!]. (S.) b2: Also, (tropical:) The mulct for an intentional wound; used in this sense by Esh-Sháfi'ee, (T, TA,) and of the dial. of El-Hijáz; (TA;) i. q. أَرْشٌ, (T, A, K, TA,) which is of the dial. of the people of El-'Irák: (T, TA:) pl. نُذُورٌ: (T, A, K:) said by Aboo-Nahshal to be only for wounds, small and great. (T, K. *) You say, لِى قِبَلَ فُلَانٍ نَذْرٌ, (T, TS, L,) or عِنْدَ فُلَانٍ, (K,) (tropical:) A mulct for a wound is owed to me. (T, K, &c.) And أَعْطَيْتُهُ نَذْرَ جُرْحِهِ (tropical:) I gave him the mulct for his wound. (A.) Aboo-Sa'eed Ed-Dareer says that it is thus called لِأَنَّهُ نُذِرَ فِيهِ, i. e., because it is made binding, or obligatory, for it; [namely, for the wound;] from the phrase نَذَرْتُ علَى نَفْسِى. (T, TA.) b3: [A votive offering].

A2: See also نُذْرٌ.

نُذْرٌ (M) and ↓ نُذُرٌ (T, S, K) [and ↓ نَذْرٌ (see 4)] and ↓ نَذِيرٌ (S, M) and ↓ نَذِيرَةٌ (M) and ↓ نِذَارَةٌ (Esh-Sháfi'ee, K) and ↓ نُذْرَى (K) are substs. in the sense of إِنْذَارٌ [meaning An informing, or advising, of a thing: and a warning, or cautioning, and putting one on his guard, against a thing, and putting one in fear of a thing; &c.: (see 4:)] (T, S, M, K:) or a putting one in fear in announcing a thing. (TA.) عُذْرًا

أَوْ نُذْرًا and عُذُرًا أَوْ نُذُرًا, accord. to different readings, in the Kur, lxxvii. 6, put in the accus. case as causal complements, signify لِلْإِعْذَارِ وَالْإِنْذَارِ [For excusing and warning]. (Zj, T.) [See also art. عذر.] And in like manner, ↓ نُذُرِ, in the Kur, liv. 16, &c., signifies إِنْذَارِى. (S, K.) And so ↓ نَذِيرِ, in the Kur, lxvii. 17. (T, M.) Hence also the saying of the Arabs, عُذْرَاكَ لَا نُذْرَاكَ, meaning, أَعْذِرُ وَلَا تُنْذِرْ [i. e. Do thou that for which thou wilt be excused, by inflicting punishment when it is deserved, and do not merely warn and put in fear]. (TA.) نُذُرٌ: see نُذْرٌ.

نُذْرَى: see نُذْرٌ.

(TA.) b2: [Hence,] ابو مُنْذِرٍ The cock (Har. p. 644). b3: [And also,] النَّذِيرُ The apostle: (M, K:) so in the Kur, xxxv. 34, accord. to Th: (M:) the prophet Mohammad: (T, K:) so, accord. to most of the expositors, in that verse of the Kur. (T.) b4: Hoariness, or whiteness of the hair: (T, M, K:) so, accord. to some, in the verse of the Kur, last referred to: (T, M:) but the explanation immediately preceding is more probable. (T.) b5: The sound of a bow: (AHn, M, K:) because it warns, or frightens, (يُنْدِرُ,) that which is shot at. (AHn, M.) A2: I. q. مَنْذُورٌ [i. e. Vowed]: pl. نُذُرٌ. (S.) See نَذْرٌ.

يعِيشُ بِفَضْلِهِنَّ الحَىُّ سُمْرِ [as though meaning They entertained their guests with fat, on the superabundant remains of which the tribe lived, by means of tawny-coloured gaming-arrows whereby the lots that determined who should afford the entertainment were divided]: (S, * TA:) but [this is inconsistent with the affixed pronoun relating to ربحا, wherefore], in this case, as some say, (S, TA,) it means young weaned camels; (S, K, TA;) [as a quasi-pl. n.;] and its sing. is ↓ رَابِحٌ; (K;) like as that of حَرَسٌ is حَارِسٌ; and that of خَادِمٌ خَدَمٌ: (TA:) or a young weaned camel; [like رُبَحٌ;] and its pl. is رِبَاحٌ: (K:) or it means here the gain, or profit, obtained by means of the game called الَميْسِر. (S, TA.) b4: See also the next paragraph.

رُبَحٌ A young weaned camel; (S, K:) app. a dial. var. of رُبَعٌ. (S.) [See also رَبَحٌ and رُبَّاحٌ.]

b2: A lamb, or kid: (ISd, TA in art. نصح:) or the latter: (K;) as also ↓ رُبَّاحٌ.

(TA.) رَبَاحٌ: see رِبْحٌ in two places.

A2: Also A certain small animal, resembling the cat. (So in many copies of the S.) F observes that J says, الرَّبَاحُ دُوَيْبَّةٌ يُجْلَبُ مِنْهَا الكَافُورُ; and that بَلَدٌ has been substituted as an amendment for دويبّة in some of the copies [of the S]; but that each of these readings is erroneous: for يجلب we find [in copies of the S] in the handwriting of Aboo-Zekereeyà and that of Aboo-Sahl يُحْلَبُ, with the unpointed ح; and the substitution of بلد for دويبَة was made by IKtt: in the copies of the S, moreover, we find مِنْهُ instead of مِنْهَا: and IB says that the passage in J's original copy, in his own handwriting, runs thus: الرَّبَاحُ أَيْضًا دُوَيْبَّةٌ كَالسِّنَّورِ يُجْلَبُ مِنْهُ الكَافُورُ. (TA.) [But I find that, in five copies of the S, between السنّور and يجلب, occur the words وَالرَّبَاحُ أَيْضًا بَلَدٌ, or بَلْدَةٌ or اسْمُ بَلَدٍ: and I think it most probable that J intended to have introduced these or similar words, and therefore wrote مِنْهُ instead of مِنْهَا; meaning that رباح is the appellation of a certain small animal, resembling the cat: and that الرباح is also the name of a country or town from which camphor is brought: this country or town is said in a marginal note in a copy of the S to be in India.]

رُبَاحٌ: see رُبَّاحٌ.

رَبِيحٌ: see رَابِحٌ.

رَبَاحِىٌّ A certain kind of camphor: (K:) so called in relation to a certain country, or town, agreeably with what is [said to have been] asserted by J, or to a certain king named رَبَاحٌ, who applied his mind to this kind of camphor, and discovered it.

(TA.) One says أَمْلَحُ مِنْ رُبَّاحٍ and رُبَاحٍ, meaning [Prettier] than the ape. (A, TA.) b2: [Hence, app.,] رُبُّ رُبَّاحٍ (Lth, A, K) or رُبَاحٍ (A) A sort of dates (Lth, A, K) of ElBasrah.

(TA.) b4: See also رُبَحٌ.

مَتْجَرٌ رَابِحٌ and ↓ رَبِيحٌ (tropical:) Trafficking in which one makes gain, or profit; (TA;) and so تِجَارَةٌ رَابِحَةٌ; (T, S, A, * Msb, K;) [lucrative, or profitable, traffic;] a phrase like لَيْلٌ نَائِمٌ and سَاهِرٌ meaning "a night in which one sleeps" and "in which one is wakeful:" (Az, TA:) and بَيْعٌ

↓ مُرْبِحٌ a sale in which one makes gain, or profit. (TA.) And مَالٌ رَابِحٌ (assumed tropical:) Property having gain, or profit: رابح in this case being like لَابِنٌ and تَامِرٌ: occurring in a trad.: but some read [رَائِحٌ, or, more probably, رَائِجٌ, from رَاجَ,] with ى [or rather ء]. (TA.) b2: See also رَبَحٌ.

(S: and the like is said in the Mgh.) And it is said in a prov., شَرْعُكَ مَا بَلَّغَكَ المَحَلَّا thus correctly, for it is a hemistich; not المَحَلَّ, as in the S and K; (TA;) i. e. Sufficient travel-ling-provision for thee is that which will cause thee to reach the place [of alighting] to which thou repairest: (K, TA:) applied to the case of being content with little. (S, K.) b5: See also شَرَعٌ, in two places. b6: And see شِرْعَةٌ.

شِرْعٌ [in the CK, erroneously, شَرْع,] The like of a thing; as also ↓ شِرْعَةٌ: (K, TA:) [but the former is masc. and ↓ the latter is fem.; for] one says, هٰذَا شِرْعُ هٰذَا This is the like of this; and so هٰذِهِ هٰذِهِ ↓ شِرْعَةُ: and هٰذَانِ شِرْعَانِ these two are likes. (S, O, TA.) [The pls., or rather coll. gen. ns. and pls., following this meaning in the K belong to شِرْعَةٌ and شَرْعَةٌ in another sense; as is shown by exs. in the O and TA.]

A2: Also The chords of the بَرْبَط, (O, K, TA,) which is the [Persian] عُود [or lute]. (TA.) [In this sense, a coll. gen. n.:] see its n. un. شِرْعَةٌ. b2: And hence, as being likened thereto, (TA,) (tropical:) The [thong called] شِرَاك of a sandal. (O, K, TA.) It is related in a trad. that a man said, إِنِّى أُحِبُّ الجَمَالَ حَتَّى فِى شِرْعِ نَعْلِى (O, TA) i. e. (tropical:) [Verily I love elegance, even] in the شراك of my sandal. (TA.) شَرَعٌ: see شَرِيعَةٌ.

A2: One says, النَّاسُ فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ شَرَعٌ and ↓ شَرْعٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the latter a contraction of the former, (Msb,) allowed by Kr and Kz, but disallowed by Yaakoob, (IDrst, TA,) The people are in this affair equals: (S, Msb, K:) in this sense, used alike as sing. and pl. and fem. (S, TA) and masc.: (TA:) [of شَرَعٌ] Az says that it seems to be pl. [or quasi-pl. n.] of ↓ شَارِعٌ, like as خَدَمٌ is of خَادِمٌ; i. e., [the phrase means] the people enter into this affair (يَشْرَعُونَ فِيهِ) together. (TA.) One says also, النَّاسُ شَرَعٌ وَاحِدٌ and واحد ↓ شَرْعٌ, meaning The people are one sort. (K.) شَرْعَةٌ: see the next paragraph, in two places.

شِرْعَةٌ: see شَرِيعَةٌ, in two places. b2: Also A custom. (TA.) b3: See also شِرْعٌ, first sentence, in three places.

A2: Also A snare for the birds called قَطًا, (Lth, O, K, TA,) with which to capture them, (O, TA,) made of sinews: (Lth, O, TA:) pl. شِرَعٌ. (O.) b2: Also, (S, O, K,) and ↓ شَرْعَةٌ, (K,) A string, or chord: (S, O, K, TA:) or such as is slender: or while continuing stretched upon the bow; (TA;) and so ↓ شِرَاعٌ; (Lth, O, K;) or upon the lute; and so ↓ شِرَاعٌ: (TA:) the pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] (of ↓ شِرْعَةٌ, S, O, [i. e. of this n. un. meaning the “ chord of a lute,” as is shown by exs. in the O and TA,]) is ↓ شِرْعٌ (S, O, K) and (that of ↓ شَرْعَةٌ, TA) ↓ شَرْعٌ, (O, K, TA,) like as تَمْرٌ is of تَمْرَةٌ, (O, TA,) and [the pl. properly so termed] (of شِرْعَةٌ, S, O) شِرَعٌ, and pl. pl. شِرَاعٌ: (S, O, K:) and the pl. of ↓ شِرَاعٌ as a sing. syn. with شِرْعَةٌ is شُرُعٌ. (TA.) شَرَعَةٌ i. q. سَقِيفَةٌ [i. e. A roof, or covering, such as projects over the door of a house &c.; or a place roofed over]: pl. أَشْرَاعٌ. (O, K.) شَرْعِىٌّ Of, or relating to, the religion or law. b2: And Accordant to the religion or law; legal, or legitimate.]

شُرَاعٌ A plant, or herbage, full-grown, (O, K, TA,) that satiates the camels. (TA.) شِرَاعٌ: see شَرِيعَةٌ.

A2: The شِرَاعٌ of a ship or boat (S, Mgh, O, Msb) is called in Pers\. بَادْبَان [i. e. A sail]; (MA, Mgh, KL;) i. q. قِلْعٌ; (MA, TA;) a thing like a wide مُلَآءَة [q. v.], (O, K, TA,) of cloth or of matting, (TA,) [raised, or attached,] upon a piece of wood [i. e. a mast or a yard]; which is beaten upon by the wind (تُصَفِّقُهُ الرِّيحُ,) and causes the ship, or boat, to go along: (O, K, TA:) so called because it is raised (يُشْرَعُ i. e. يُرْفَعُ) above the ship, or boat: (TA:) pl. أَشْرِعَةٌ and شُرُعٌ; (O, K;) the former a pl. of pauc. (O.) b2: And hence, as being likened thereto, (TA, [and the same is implied in the S and O,]) (tropical:) The neck of a camel. (S, O, K, TA.) Sometimes they said of a camel, رَفَعَ شِرَاعَهُ, meaning (tropical:) He raised his neck: (S, O, TA.) b3: One says also رَجُلٌ شِرَاعُ الأَنْفِ, meaning (assumed tropical:) A man having the nose extended, and long. (TA. [See أَشْرَعُ.]) b4: See also شِرْعَةٌ, in three places.

(K.) b2: And The ليف [or fibres that grow at the base of the branches of the palm-tree] of which the prickles (شَوْك) are strong, and such as, by reason of their thickness, are fit for the sewing of leather therewith. (TA.) شَرَاعَةٌ Courage; (O, K;) as an attribute of a man. (O.) شَرِيعَةٌ and ↓ مَشْرَعَةٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and ↓ مَشْرُعَةٌ (Msb, K) and ↓ مَشْرَعٌ (TA) and ↓ شَرَعٌ (O, TA *) and مَآءٍ ↓ شِرَاعُ (TA) A watering-place; a resort of drinkers [both men and beasts]; (S, O, K, TA;) a place to which men come to drink therefrom and to draw water, (Msb, * TA,) and into which they sometimes make their beasts to enter, to drink: (TA:) but the term ↓ مشرعة, (Az, Msb,) or شريعة, (TA,) is not applied by the Arabs to any but [a watering-place] such as is permanent, and apparent to the eye, (Az, Msb, TA,) like the water of rivers, (Msb,) not water from which one draws with the well-rope: (Az, Msb, TA:) the pl. of شَرِيعَةٌ is شَرَائِعُ; and that of ↓ مَشْرَعَةٌ or ↓ مَشْرَعٌ [or of both] is مَشَارِعُ; which is also expl. as meaning gaps, or breaches, in the banks of rivers or the like by which men or beasts come to water: (TA:) and [in like manner it is said that] شَرِيعَةٌ signifies a place of descent to water: (Lth, TA:) or a way to water. (Bd in v. 52.) b2: And hence, (Lth, Kr, Msb, TA, and Bd ubi suprà,) الشَّرِيعَةُ, (Lth, Kr, S, Msb, K, &c.,) as also ↓ الشِّرْعَةُ, (Msb, K, &c.,) and ↓ الشَّرْعُ, (Msb,) signifies likewise الدِّينُ; (Msb, and Bd ubi suprà;) because it is a way to the means of eternal life; (Bd ibid.;) or because of its manifestness; (Msb;) [i. e.] The religious law of God; (Lth, Kr, S, O, K, * TA;) consisting of such ordinances as those of fasting and prayer and pilgrimage (Lth, Kr, TA) and the giving of the poorrate (Kr, TA) and marriage, (Lth, TA,) and other acts (Lth, Kr, TA) of piety, or of obedience to God, or of duty to Him and to men: (Kr, TA:) pl. as above. (Msb.) شَرِيعَةٌ signifies also [A law, an ordinance, or a statute: and] a religion, or way of belief and practice in respect of religion: (Fr, TA:) and a way of belief or conduct that is manifest (Ibn-'Arafeh, Mgh, K) and right (Ibn-'Arafeh, K) in religion; (Mgh;) and so ↓ شِرْعَةٌ. (K.) شُرَاعِىٌّ, as an epithet applied to A spear-head and a spear, of Shuráa, (TA,) which was the name of a certain man who made spear-heads and spears, (K, TA,) as they assert: but IAar says that it may be a reg. rel. n. from شُرَاعٌ, or an irreg. rel. n. from some other name of which the radical latters are شرع: and [SM says also that,] applied to a spear, it signifies long: (TA:) or ↓ شِرَاعِىٌّ, thus applied, has this meaning, a rel. n. [from شِرَاعٌ]. (S, O.) شُرَاعِيَّةٌ and ↓ شِرَاعِيَّةٌ [in the CK without teshdeed], applied to a she-camel, signify (tropical:) Long-necked; (O, K, TA:) thus expl. by ISh: but Az thinks the latter to be the more probably correct; the neck being likened to the شِرَاع of the ship or boat, because of the height thereof. (O.) شِرَاعِىٌّ; and its fem., with ة: see the next preceding paragraph.

شَرَّاعٌ A seller of the flax called شَرِيع. (IAar, K.) شَارِعٌ Entering into water [to drink]: pl. شُرَّعٌ and شُرُوعٌ: (KL:) these pls. are applied in this sense to camels. (S, K.) b2: [Hence,] Entering into an affair (فِى أَمْرٍ). (Az, TA.) See شَرَعٌ. b3: And sing. of شُرَّعٌ in the phrase حِيتَانٌ شُرَّعٌ, (TA,) which means Fishes lowering their heads to drink: (Aboo-Leylà, TA:) or raising their heads: (K, TA:) or directing themselves, or repairing, (شَارِعَاتٌ,) from the deep water to the bank, or side: (S, TA:) and حيتان شُرُوعٌ signifies the same: (TA:) or شُرَّعًا in the Kur vii. 163, referring to fish, means appearing upon the surface of the water. (Bd, Jel. *) b4: Also, applied to a place of alighting, or an abode, (مَنْزِلٌ,) Situate upon a road that is a thoroughfare: and شَارِعَةٌ applied to a house (دَارٌ) signifies the same; (K;) or having its door [opening] upon such a road; (TA;) or near to the road and to the people [or passengers]: (Mgh, * TA:) and دُورٌ شَارِعَةٌ houses having their doors opening into the streets: or دُورٌ شَوَارِعُ, as expl. by IDrd, houses upon one open road. (TA.) It is said in a trad., كَانَتِ الأَبْوَابُ شَارِعَةً إِلَى المَسْجِدِ The doors were opening towards the mosque. (TA.) b5: And Anything near (K, TA) to a thing, or overlooking it: whence شَارِعَةٌ applied to a house (دَارٌ) near to the road and to the people, as expl. above. (TA.) [Hence,] نُجُومٌ شَوَارِعُ Stars near to setting. (K.) b6: [Also Pointing directly towards a person; applied to a spear.] One says رِمَاحٌ شَارِعَةٌ and شَوَارِعُ (K, TA) and شُرَّعٌ as in some of the copies of the S (TA) Spears pointing directly: and ↓ رِمَاحٌ مَشْرُوعَةٌ and ↓ مُشْرَعَةٌ spears directed. (K, TA.) b7: Also [used as a subst.] A main road: (S, O:) or it signifies, (Mgh, TA,) or so طَرِيقٌ شَارِعٌ, (Msb,) (tropical:) a road, or way, into which people enter (يَسْلُكُهُ النَّاسُ, Msb, or يَشْرَعُ فِيهِ النَّاسُ, Mgh, TA) in common, or in general; (Mgh, Msb, TA;) by a tropical attribution; (Mgh;) [i. e.] شَارِعٌ in this case has the meaning of مَشْرُوعٌ [or مَشْرُوعٌ فِيهِ]; (Msb;) or as meaning ذُو شَرْعٍ مِنَ الخَلْقِ [having an entering of people]: (TA:) or it signifies a manifest, plain, or conspicuous, road or way: (Mgh, TA:) [in the present day, شَارِعٌ commonly signifies any great street that is a thoroughfare:] the pl. is شَوارِعُ. (Msb.) A2: الشَّارِعُ also means The learned man who practises what he knows and instructs others: (K, TA:) or so الشَّارِعُ الرَّبَّانِىُّ. (O.) and hence it is applied to designate the Prophet: [or as meaning The legislator: or the announcer of the law:] or because he made manifest and plain the religion, or religious law of God. (TA.) أَشْرَعُ A nose of which the end is extended (K, TA) and elevated, and long. (TA.) مَشْرَعٌ: see شَرِيعَةٌ, in two places.

(M.) b2: وَسَطَ الشَّىْءَ also signifies He, or it, was, or became, in the best part of the thing, most remote from the two extremes. (TA.) And وَسَطَهُ He alighted, or took up his abode, in, or among, the best, or most generous, thereof. (M.) and وَسَطَ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ, and فِى قَوْمِهِ, inf. n. وَسَاطَةٌ, The man occupied, or held, a middle place, [meaning the best place, or one of the best places,] among his people, in respect of truth and equity. (Msb.) And وَسَطَ قَوْمَهُ فِى الحَسَبِ, aor. ـِ inf. n. سِطَةٌ, [He held a middle, or good, or the best, rank among his people in regard of grounds of pretension to respect.] (M.) And وَسُطَ فِى

حَسَبِهِ, [aor. ـْ inf. n. وَسَاطَةٌ and سِطَةٌ, [He held a middle, or good, or the best, rank in regard of his grounds of pretension to respect;] (M, TA;) and وَسَطَ signifies the same; (M;) and so does ↓ وسّط, (M, TA,) inf. n. تَوْسِيطٌ. (TA.) [See وَسَطٌ, below.]2 وسّطهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَوْسِيطٌ, (S, K,) He put it in the middle, or midst. (S, K.) b2: And [so in the S, but in the K “ or,”] He cut it [in the middle, or midst, i. e.] in two halves. (S, K.) [See the pass. part. n., below.] b3: [In the Kur, c. 5,] some read, فَوَسَّطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا [which may mean And have put in the midst, thereby, a company of the enemy: or have divided in two halves, thereby, &c.: or have thereby become in the midst of a company of the enemy]: (S, TA:) others read فَوَسَطْنَ. (TA.) See 1, first sentence. b4: وسّط فى حَسَبِهِ: see 1, last sentence.5 تَوَسَّطَ see 1, first sentence, in four places. b2: توسّط بَيْنَ النَّاسِ He mediated, or interceded, between the men, or people, for the purpose of accommodation; from وَسَطَ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ and فِى

(K.) b3: توسّط also signifies He took what was of a middle sort, between the good and the bad. (K.) وَسْط, with the س quiescent, is an adv. n.; [as such written وَسْطَ, meaning In the middle of: in the midst of; or among;] (S, M, IB, Mgh, K;) and it is for this reason that it has its middle letter quiescent, (S, IB,) like بَيْنَ (IB) with which it is syn.; (IB, Msb;) [for] it may be used in any case in which بَيْنَ may be substituted for it; (S, IAth, K;) and, like بَيْنَ, it does not denote a part of the thing denoted by the noun to which it is prefixed, wherein differing from ↓ وَسَط. (S, IB, K.) You say, جَلَسْتُ وَسْطَ القَوْمِ (S, IB, Msb) I sat [in the middle of, or in the midst of,] or among, the people, or company of men, (IB, Msb;) not being one of them. (IB.) And وَسْطَ رَأْسِهِ دُهْنٌ [In the middle of his head is oil]; not meaning a component part of the head. (IB.) And it is said in a trad.

الجَالِسُ وَسْطَ الحَلْقَةِ مَلْعُونٌ [The sitter in the midst of the ring is cursed]: for he must of necessity turn his back towards some of those who surround him, and so displease them; wherefore they curse him and revile him. (IAth.) b2: It may not [properly] be used as a decl. n., (IB,) i. e. as an inchoative, (Mgh,) nor as an agent, nor as an objective complement; (IB, Mgh) &c.; thus, also, differing from ↓ وَسَط; unless it have the adverbial particle [فِى] prefixed to it; in which case it has the sense of وَسَط, and you say, جَلَسْتُ فِى وَسْطِ القَوْمِ and فى وَسْطِ رَأْسِهِ دُهْنٌ [like as you say جَلَسْتُ وَسْطَ القَوْمِ and وَسْطَ رَأْسِهِ دُهنٌ, explained above]: and sometimes it is used as a subst., preserving the quiescence [and the adverbial form], like as بَيْنَ is used as a subst. though virtually an adv. n., in cases like that where it is said in the Kur, [vi. 94,] لَقَدْ تَقَطَّعَ بَيْنَكُمْ [meaning مَا بَيْنَكُمْ, or, as explained in the Expos. of the Jel., وَصْلُكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ]: (IB:) or وَسْط is sometimes used for ↓ وَسَط, improperly; (S;) or it may be so used; (Msb;) or it is so used by poetic license; (M;) or, as some say, each of them may take the place of the other; and this seems the most likely: (IAth:) or one says وَسْط, with sukoon, only, of that whereof the component parts are separate, or distinct, (IAth, K *,) such as a number of men, and beasts of carriage, &c.; (IAth;) and ↓ وَسَط, (IAth,) or both, (K,) of that whereof the component parts are united, (IAth, K *,) such as a house, and the head, (IAth,) or such as a ring: (K:) it is related, as on the authority of Th, that الشَّىْءِ ↓ وَسَطُ and وسْطُهُ [both meaning The middle, or midst, of the thing] are said when the thing is solid; but when its component parts are separate, or distinct, the word is وَسْطٌ, with sukoon, exclusively. (M.) وَسَطٌ [The middle, midst, or middle part, of a thing; i. e.,] properly, the part of which several lateral, or outer, portions are equal; as, for instance, the middle finger: but also meaning the part which is surrounded, or enclosed, on its several sides, although unequally: (Msb:) or the part that is between the two sides or extremities of a thing; (M, IB, Mgh, K;) [or the part, or point, that is between every two opposite extremities of a thing; and properly when equidistant;] as, for instance, the centre of a circle: (Mgh:) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ, (M, K,) which is [likewise] a subst., like أَفْكَلٌ and أَزْمَلٌ [but imperfectly decl. because originally an epithet]: (M:) وَسَطٌ has its middle letter with fet-h in order that it may agree in measure with its contr., which is طَرَفٌ; the like agreement being frequent: (IB:) and it is only used in cases in which بَيْنَ may not be substituted for it, herein [and in other respects, mentioned in the next preceding paragraph,] differing from وَسْط: (S, IB, K:) [respecting the similar and dissimilar usages of وَسَط and وَسّط, sufficient observations have been made in the next preceding paragraph, which see throughout, and more especially in its latter part:] the pl. of وَسَطٌ is أَوْسَاطٌ; and that of its syn. ↓ أَوْسَطُ is أَوَاسِطُ; or this may be a pl. of ↓ وَاسِطٌ, and originally وَوَاسِطُ. (M.) You say, جَلَسْتُ فِى

وَسَطِ الدَّارِ [I sat in the middle, or middle part, of the house]; (S, Mgh, Msb;) because وَسَط is a subst. (S.) And إِتَّسَعَ وَسَطُهُ [The middle, or middle part, thereof, became wide]. (Mgh, Msb.) And ضَرَبْتُ وَسَطَ رَأْسِهِ [I smote the middle, or middle part, of his head]. (Mgh, * Msb.) And كَسَرْتُ وَسَطَ الرُّمْحِ [I broke the middle, or middle part, of the spear]. (IB.) And وَسَطُهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ طَرَفِهِ [The middle, or middle part, thereof is better than the extremity]. (Mgh, Msb.) And خَيَرُ الأُمُورِ أَوْسَاطُهَا The best of affairs, or actions, or cases, are such of them as are between two extremes. (M. [See R. Q. 1, in art. حق.]) It is sometimes put in the accus. case as an adv. n.; as in the saying, جَلَسْتُ وَسَطَ الدَّارِ; but this is an instance of departure from the original usage; and [the meaning is جَلَسْتُ فِى وَسَطِ الدَّارِ signifying as explained above; so that] it is not here syn. with بَيْنَ, like as وَسْطَ is. (IB.) b2: It is also used as an epithet: (IB, Mgh:) [as such signifying Middle; intermediate; midway, or equidistant, between the two extremities or extremes; in place, or position: but in this sense superseded in usage by ↓ أَوْسَطُ and ↓ وَاسِطٌ and ↓ مُتَوَسِّطٌ: and in time; but in this sense also superseded in usage by ↓ أَوْسَطُ:] middling; of middle sort, kind, or rate; (Msb;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ (S, * M, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ مُتَوَسِّطٌ (M, Mgh, Msb) and ↓ وَسُوطٌ (M, TA) [and ↓ وَسِيطٌ]; between good and bad; (Msb, TA;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ: (Msb:) conforming, or conformable, to the just mean; just; equitable: (Zj, S, K:) good; (Zj, M, Msb, K;) as also ↓ وَسِيطٌ: (M:) most conforming, or conformable, to the just mean; most just; most equitable; applied to what is so of a thing; (S, M, K;) whatever it be; (S, K;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطَ: (M:) best; (Msb;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ: (S, * Msb, K *:) most generous: (M:) and when used as an epithet, it is applied alike to a masc., fem., sing., dual, and pl., subst.: (Mgh:) the fem. of ↓ أَوْسَطُ is وُسْطَى; (Mgh, Msb;) and the pl. masc. أَوَاسِطُ; and pl. fem. وُسَطٌ. (Msb.) Hence, (Msb,) ↓ الإِصْبَعُ الوُسْطَى (S, Msb, K) The middle finger. (Msb.) And ↓ اليَوْمُ الأَوْسَطُ [The middle day]. (Msb.) And ↓ اللَّيْلَةُ الوُسْطَى [The middle night. (Msb.) And ↓ العَشَرَةُ الأَوَاسِطُ, meaning The [ten middle] days. (Msb.) And العَشْرُ

↓ الوُسَطُ, meaning The [ten middle nights: not ↓ العَشْرُ الأَوْسَطُ; for this is a vulgar mistake, into which relaters of traditions have fallen; or it may be a mistake of transcription. (Msb.) and ↓ الصَّلٰوةُ الوُسْطَى, (M, Mgh, &c.,) mentioned in the Kur, [ii. 239,] (M, K,) meaning The middle prayer (Bd, TA) between the other prayers, (Bd,) or between the prayers of the night and the day; (TA;) or the most excellent of them in particular: (Bd:) i. e. the prayer of the afternoon; ('Alee Ibn-Abee-Tálib, I'Ab, and others, Mgh, Bd, K;) because the prophet said, on the day of the Ahzáb, “they have diverted us from الصلوة الوسطى, the prayer of the afternoon: ” (Bd:) or the prayer of daybreak; (also said to be on the authority of 'Alee, Mgh, Bd, K;) because it is between the prayers of the night and the day; (Bd;) for the saying of the prophet mentioned above does not contravene this and other assertions, since what is meant in the trad. is not what is meant in the Kur: (K:) or, (M, K,) accord. to Abu-l-Hasan, (M,) the prayer of Friday; (M, K;) because it is the most excellent of the prayers; (M;) and he who says otherwise errs, unless he trace up the assertion to the prophet: (M, K:) these three opinions are of the strongest authority; (B;) and the first is that which commonly obtains: (Mgh:) or the prayer of noon; (Mgh, Bd, Msb, K;) because it is in the middle of the day: (Bd:) or the prayer of Friday on the day thereof; but on other days the prayer of noon: (K, and also said to be on the authority of 'Alec:) or the prayer of sunset: (Mgh, Bd, K:) or the prayer of nightfall: (Bd, K:) or [the night-prayer called] الوِتْر: (K:) or the prayer of the breaking of the fast: (K:) or the prayer of sacrifices: (K:) or the prayer of the period called the ضُحَى: (K:) or the prayer of the congregation: (K:) or the prayer of fear: (K:) or the prayers of nightfall and daybreak together: (K, and said to be on the authorities of 'Omar and 'Othmán:) or the prayers of daybreak and the afternoon together: (K:) or any of the five prayers; because before it are two prayers and after it are two prayers: (K:) or all the divinely-appointed prayers: (K:) or certain prayers not particularized: (K:) or prayer of middling length, between long and short. (K.) Hence also, شَىْءٌ وَسَطٌ A middling thing; a thing of middle sort or kind; (Msb;) between good and bad; (S, Msb;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ: (Msb:) and in like manner it is applied to a male slave, and a female slave, (Msb,) and two male slaves, and two sheep or goats.

(S, K.) and الدَّارِ وَالحَسَبِ ↓ فُلَانٌ وَسِيطُ [Such a one is of good quality, or of the best quality, in respect of tribe, and of grounds of pretension to honour]. (Lth.) And هُوَ مِنْ وَسَطِ قَوْمِهِ, and ↓ من أَوْسَطِهِمْ, He is of the best of his people. (Msb.) And in like manner, هُوَ مِنْ وَسَطِ الشَّىْءِ, and ↓ من أَوْسَطِهِ, It is of the best of the thing.

زرب

1 زَرْبٌ [as an inf. n.] signifies The constructing a زَرِيبَة, (K, TA,) i. e. an enclosure of wood, (TA,) for sheep, or goats: (K, TA:) you say, زَرَبْتُ الغَنَمَ, aor. ـْ inf. n. زَرْبٌ: (TA:) [or this, I think, is a mistake for what here follows:] زَرَبْتُ لِلْغَنَمِ, aor. ـْ inf. n. زَرْبٌ (Ks, S:) [i. e. I constructed an enclosure of wood for the sheep or goats: this meaning is plainly indicated, though not expressed, in the S and TA:] but in some copies of the K, in the place of بِنَآءُ الزَّرِيبَةِ لِلْغَنَمِ, as explaining الزَّرْبُ, we find بنات الزريبة الغنم [meaning that ↓ بَنَاتُ الزَّرِيبَةِ signifies sheep, or goats]. (TA.) b2: And زَرَبَ البَهْمَ فِى زَرْبِهَا or زَرِيبَتِهَا He put the بهم [i. e. lambs or kids, or young lambs or kids,] into their place [or enclosure of wood]. (A. [And the like is said in the Ham p. 195.]) A2: زَرِبَ, aor. ـَ (K, TA,) said of water, (TA,) It flowed; (K, TA;) like سَرِبَ. (TA.) 7 انزرب البَهْمُ فِى الزَّرْبُ The بهم [i. e. lambs or kids, or young lambs or kids,] entered into the زرب [or enclosure of wood]. (A, TA. *) b2: and انزرب الصَّائِدُ (S, TA) فِى قُتْرَتِهِ (TA) (assumed tropical:) The hunter, or sportsman, entered into his lurking-place. (S, TA.) 9 ازربّ, inf. n. اِزْرِبَابٌ, It (a plant, or herb,) became yellow, or red, while having in it greenness. (K, TA.) زَرْبٌ A place of entrance. (AA, S, A, K.) b2: And hence, accord. to AA, (S,) the same word, (S, A, K,) and ↓ زِرْبٌ, (ISk, S, K,) as some pronounce it, (ISk, S,) and ↓ زَرِيبَةٌ, (S, A, K,) (assumed tropical:) The place of sheep or goats; (A, K, TA;) [i. e.] an enclosure of wood for sheep or goats: (S:) [said in the TA to be tropical; but not so accord. to the A:] pl. of the first (A, K) and second (K) زُرُوبٌ, (A, K,) and of the last زَرَائِبُ. (A.) b3: And, as being likened thereto, (A,) زَرْبٌ and ↓ زَرِيبَةٌ signify also (tropical:) The lurking-place (قُتْرَة) of a hunter, or sportsman, (S, A, K,) or of an archer, or a shooter: (TA in explanation of the former word:) both signify a well [or pit] which the hunter, or sportsman, digs for himself that he may lie in wait therein for the game. (TA.) b4: See also the next paragraph.

زِرْبٌ: see the next preceding paragraph. b2: Also A channel in which water flows; (K;) and so ↓ زَرْبٌ. (TA.) It is said in a rejez of Kaab, تَبِيتُ بَيْنَ الزِّرْبِ وَالكَنِيفِ She passes the night between the channel of water and the concealing, or protecting, place: meaning that she is fed in the enclosures for camels &c., [فِى الحظائر, thus I read for الحضائر (an evident mistranscription) in the TA,] and among the tents, or houses; not in the pasture-land. (TA.) زِرْبِىٌّ and زُرْبِىٌّ, (K,) or, accord. to the L [and the A], on the authority of IAar, ↓ زَرْبِيَّةٌ, also said to be written زِرْبِيَّةٌ and زُرْبِيَّةٌ, (TA,) are sings. of ↓ زَرَابِىُّ, (K, TA,) which signifies نَمَارِقُ [app. as meaning Small pillows]: (S, A, K:) and carpets: or any things which are spread, and upon which one leans, or reclines: (A, K:) the like of this is said by Zj in explaining a phrase in which it occurs in the Kur lxxxviii. 16: or, accord. to Fr, it signifies carpets (طَنَافِس) having a fine nap, or pile: (TA:) also, [particularly,] (A,) carpets (قُطُوع, A, or طَنَافِس, Har p. 377) of the fabric of El-Heereh; and the like thereof in fabric: (A, and Har ubi suprà:) or ↓ زربيّة signifies [simply] a carpet (طِنْفِسَةٌ): and a carpet (بِسَاط) having a nap, or pile: and a [piece of leather that is spread upon the ground, such as is called] نِطَع: and the like thereof in make. (TA. [See also the last sentence of this paragraph.]) [Hence,] one says, البَغْضَآءِ بَيْنَهُمْ مَبْثُوثَةٌ ↓ زَرَابِىُّ (tropical:) [The embellished coverings of vehement hatred are spread between them; i. e. vehement hatred concealed by fair professions &c. subsists between them]. (A.) The following saying, of Artáh Ibn-Suheiyeh, وَنَحْنُ بَنُو عَمٍّ عَلَى ذَاتِ بَيْنِنَا فِيهَا بِغْضَةٌ وَتَنافُسُ ↓ زَرَابِىُّ is expl. by En-Nemiree as meaning (assumed tropical:) [And we are sons of a paternal uncle, but] upon our enmity is a comely covering beneath which it is latent; [therein are vehement hatred and envious competition;] زَرَابِىُّ signifying [properly] carpets of sundry colours: (Ham p. 196:) it is also said to mean, in this instance, (assumed tropical:) [concealed] enmities, and sayings that give pain; [the former of these two meanings being] from زَرَبْتُ البَهْمَ فِى الزَّرِيبَةِ, i. e. أَدْخَلْتُهُ: [the latter of them app. suggested by another reading, namely, زَأَانِبُ in the place of زَرَابِىُّ; mentioned and thus explained in the Ham ubi suprà: the poet, therefore, is supposed to have meant, upon our state of union, or concord, (ذات بيننا having two contr. significations,) have supervened concealed enmities, &c.:] or, as some say, the reading in the deewán of Artáh is زَرَائِبُ, as though pl. of ↓ زَرِيبَةٌ, which is likewise made to denote enmity because it is made to enter (تُزْرَبُ, i. e. تُدْخَلُ,) into the heart; or which may be metaphorically applied to a place of enmity latent in the bosom, from the same word as signifying the “ place in which are put lambs, or kids, and sheep, or goats: ” or, supposing the right reading to be ↓ زَرَابِىُّ, the poet may very properly mean, upon the vacant space between our tents, or houses, are carpets (طَنَافِس and بُسُط) spread for us, and we sit thereon, near together in the places, but with the hearts remote: (idem p. 195:) but with the reading زَأَانِبُ, mentioned above, occurs another variation, thus: عَلَى ذَاكَ بَيْنَنَا زَأَانِبُ; meaning, notwithstanding that, between us are sayings that give pain. (Idem p. 196.) b2: ↓ وَيْلٌ لِلزَّرْبِيَّةِ, occurring in a trad., is said to mean (tropical:) Wo to those who go in to lords, or princes, and, when they say what is evil, or say anything, say, He has spoken truth: such persons being likened, in respect of their variable conduct, to one of the زَرَابِىّ mentioned above in the first sentence of this paragraph; or to sheep, or goats, which are thus called in relation to the زَرْب, i. e. the enclosure to which they repair, because they are obsequious to the lords, or princes, and follow their steps with the submissiveness of sheep or goats to their pastor. (TA.) b3: Accord. to El-Muärrij, (TA,) ↓ زَرَابِىُّ is applied to plants, as meaning Such as have become yellow, or red, while having in them greenness: (K, TA:) and when they saw the colours in carpets and other articles of furniture that are spread, they likened them to such plants. (TA.) زَرْبِيَّةٌ and زِرْبِيَّةٌ and زُرْبِيَّةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in three places. b2: [Golius, finding the second and third of these words expl. by the Pers\. شادروان, (which is often applied by Arabs in the present day to “ an artificial fountain that throws up water,”) has erroneously, as Freytag has observed, supposed that they may signify “ Euripus, fons in altum saliens. ”]

زَرِيبَةٌ: see زَرْبٌ, in two places: and see 1, first sentence. b2: Also (assumed tropical:) The lurking-place of a beast of prey. (S, K.) b3: See also زِرْبِىٌّ.

(K.) b2: And Anything yellow. (K.) A2: Also A certain black singingbird; (MF, TA;) called also ابو زولق, [app. a mistranscription for ابو زريق, as in Freytag's Lex., i. e. أَبُو زُرَيْقٍ,] accord. to the book entitled “ Mantik et-Teyr. ” (TA.) مِزْرَابٌ i. q. مِرْزَابٌ [q. v., said to be not a chaste word].
