بُلْغَارُ:
بالضم، والغين معجمة: مدينة الصقالبة ضاربة في الشمال، شديدة البرد لا يكاد الثلج يقلع عن أرضها صيفا ولا شتاء وقلّ ما يرى أهلها أرضا ناشفة، وبناؤهم بالخشب وحده، وهو أن يركبوا عودا فوق عود ويسمّروها بأوتاد من خشب أيضا محكمة، والفواكه والخيرات بأرضهم لا تنجب، وبين إتل مدينة الخزر وبلغار على طريق المفاوز نحو شهر، ويصعد إليها في نهر إتل نحو شهرين وفي الحدور نحو عشرين يوما، ومن بلغار إلى أول حدّ الــروم نحو عشر مراحل، ومنها إلى كويابة مدينة الروس عشرون يوما، ومن بلغار
إلى بشجرد خمس وعشرون مرحلة، وكان ملك بلغار وأهلها قد أسلموا في أيام المقتدر بالله وأرسلوا إلى بغداد رسولا يعرّفون المقتدر ذلك ويسألونه إنفاذ من يعلّمهم الصلوات والشرائع، لكن لم أقف على السبب في إسلامهم. وقرأت رسالة عملها أحمد بن فضلان بن العباس بن راشد بن حمّاد مولى محمد بن سليمان رسول المقتدر بالله إلى ملك الصقالبة ذكر فيها ما شاهده منذ انفصل من بغداد إلى أن عاد إليها، قال فيها: لما وصل كتاب ألمس بن شلكى بلطوار ملك الصقالبة إلى أمير المؤمنين المقتدر بالله يسأله فيه أن يبعث إليه من يفقّهه في الدين ويعرّفه شرائع الإسلام ويبني له مسجدا وينصب له منبرا ليقيم عليه الدعوة في جميع بلده وأقطار مملكته ويسأله بناء حصن يتحصّن فيه من الملوك المخالفين له، فأجيب إلى ذلك، وكان السفير له نذير الحزمي، فبدأت أنا بقراءة الكتاب عليه وتسليم ما أهدي إليه والأشراف من الفقهاء والمعلّمين، وكان الرسول من جهة السلطان سوسن الرّسّي مولى نذير الحزمي، قال:
فرحلنا من مدينة السلام لإحدى عشرة ليلة خلت من صفر سنة 309، ثم ذكر ما مرّ له في الطريق إلى خوارزم ثم منها إلى بلاد الصقالبة ما يطول شرحه، ثم قال:
فلما كنّا من ملك الصقالبة وهو الذي قصدنا له على مسيرة يوم وليلة وجّه لاستقبالنا الملوك الأربعة الذين تحت يديه وإخوته وأولاده، فاستقبلونا ومعهم الخبز واللحم والجاورس، وساروا معنا، فلما صرنا منه على فرسخين تلقّانا هو بنفسه فلما رآنا نزل فخرّ ساجدا شكرا لله، وكان في كمّه دراهم فنثرها علينا ونصب لنا قبابا فنزلناها، وكان وصولنا إليه يوم الأحد لاثنتي عشرة ليلة خلت من المحرم سنة 310، وكانت المسافة من الجرجانية، وهي مدينة خوارزم، سبعين يوما، فأقمنا إلى يوم الأربعاء في القباب التي ضربت لنا حتى اجتمع ملوك أرضه وخواصه ليسمعوا قراءة الكتاب، فلما كان يوم الخميس نشرنا المطرّدين الذين كانوا معنا وأسرجنا الدّابّة بالسرج الموجّه إليه وألبسناه السواد وعممناه وأخرجت كتاب الخليفة فقرأته وهو قائم على قدميه ثم قرأت كتاب الوزير حامد بن العباس وهو قائم أيضا، وكان بدينا، فنثر أصحابه علينا الدّراهم، وأخرجنا الهدايا وعرضناها عليه ثم خلعنا على امرأته وكانت جالسة إلى جانبه، وهذه سنتهم ودأبهم، ثم وجّه إلينا فحضرنا قبته وعنده الملوك عن يمينه وأمرنا أن نجلس عن يساره وأولاده جلوس بين يديه وهو وحده على سرير مغشّى بالديباج الــرومــي، فدعا بالمائدة فقدّمت إليه وعليها لحم مشوي، فابتدأ الملك وأخذ سكينا وقطع لقمة فأكلها وثانية وثالثة ثم قطع قطعة فدفعها إلى سوسن الرسول فلما تناولها جاءته مائدة صغيرة فجعلت بين يديه، وكذلك رسمهم لا يمدّ أحد يده إلى أكل حتى يناوله الملك فإذا تناولها جاءته مائدة ثم قطع قطعة وناولها الملك الذي عن يمينه فجاءته مائدة، ثم ناول الملك الثاني فجاءته مائدة وكذلك حتى قدّم إلى كل واحد من الذين بين يديه مائدة، وأكل كل واحد منا من مائدة لا يشاركه فيها أحد ولا يتناول من مائدة غيره شيئا، فإذا فرغ من الأكل حمل كلّ واحد منا ما بقي على مائدته إلى منزله، فلما فرغنا دعا بشراب العسل وهم يسمونه السجو فشرب وشربنا. وقد كان يخطب له قبل قدومنا: اللهم أصلح الملك بلطوار ملك بلغار، فقلت له: إن الله هو الملك ولا يجوز أن يخطب بهذا لأحد سيما على المنابر، وهذا مولاك أمير المؤمنين قد وصى لنفسه أن يقال على منابره في الشرق والغرب: اللهم أصلح عبدك وخليفتك جعفرا الإمام
المقتدر بالله أمير المؤمنين، فقال: كيف يجوز أن يقال؟ فقلت: يذكر اسمك واسم أبيك، فقال: إنّ أبي كان كافرا وأنا أيضا ما أحبّ أن يذكر اسمي إذ كان الذي سمّاني به كافرا، ولكن ما اسم مولاي أمير المؤمنين؟ فقلت: جعفر، قال: فيجوز أن أتسمّى باسمه؟ قلت: نعم، فقال: قد جعلت اسمي جعفرا واسم أبي عبد الله، وتقدم إلى الخطيب بذلك، فكان يخطب: اللهم أصلح عبدك جعفر بن عبد الله أمير بلغار مولى أمير المؤمنين، قال: ورأيت في بلده من العجائب ما لا أحصيها كثرة، من ذلك أن أول ليلة بتناها في بلده رأيت قبل مغيب الشمس بساعة أفق السماء وقد احمرّ احمرارا شديدا وسمعت في الجوّ أصواتا عالية وهمهمة، فرفعت رأسي فإذا غيم أحمر مثل النار قريب منّي، فإذا تلك الهمهمة والأصوات منه وإذا فيه أمثال الناس والدوابّ وإذا في أيدي الأشباح التي فيه قسيّ ورماح وسيوف، وأتبيّنها وأتخيّلها وإذا قطعة أخرى مثلها أرى فيها رجالا أيضا وسلاحا ودوابّ، فأقبلت هذه القطعة على هذه كما تحمل الكتيبة على الكتيبة، ففزعنا من هذه وأقبلنا على التضرّع والدعاء وأهل البلد يضحكون منا ويتعجبون من فعلنا، قال: وكنا ننظر إلى القطعة تحمل على القطعة فتختلطان جميعا ساعة ثم تفترقان، فما زال الأمر كذلك إلى قطعة من الليل ثم غابتا، فسألنا الملك عن ذلك فزعم أن أجداده كانوا يقولون هؤلاء من مؤمني الجنّ وكفّارهم يقتتلون كل عشية، وأنهم ما عدموا هذا منذ كانوا في كل ليلة. قال: ودخلت أنا وخيّاط كان للملك من أهل بغداد قبّتي لنتحدّث، فتحدّثنا بمقدار ما يقر الإنسان نصف ساعة ونحن ننتظر أذان العشاء، فإذا بالأذان فخرجنا من القبّة وقد طلع الفجر، فقلت للمؤذّن: أي شيء أذّنت؟ قال: الفجر، قلت: فعشاء الأخيرة؟ قال: نصلّيها مع المغرب، قلت: فالليل؟
قال: كما ترى وقد كان أقصر من هذا وقد أخذ الآن في الطول، وذكر أنه منذ شهر ما نام الليل خوفا من أن تفوته صلاة الصبح، وذلك أن الإنسان يجعل القدر على النار وقت المغرب ثم يصلّي الغداة وما آن لها أن تنضج، قال: ورأيت النهار عندهم طويلا جدّا، وإذا أنه يطول عندهم مدّة من السنة ويقصر الليل، ثم يطول الليل ويقصر النهار، فلما كانت الليلة الثانية جلست فلم أر فيها من الكواكب إلّا عددا يسيرا ظننت أنها فوق الخمسة عشر كوكبا متفرّقة، وإذا الشّفق الأحمر الذي قبل المغرب لا يغيب بتّة، وإذا الليل قليل الظلمة يعرف الرجل الرجل فيه من أكثر من غلوة سهم، قال: والقمر إنما يطلع في أرجاء السماء ساعة ثم يطلع الفجر فيغيب القمر، قال: وحدّثني الملك أن وراء بلده بمسيرة ثلاثة أشهر قوما يقال لهم ويسو، الليل عندهم أقلّ من ساعة، قال: ورأيت البلد عند طلوع الشمس يحمر كلّ شيء فيه من الأرض والجبال، وكل شيء ينظر الإنسان إليه حين تطلع الشمس كأنها غمامة كبرى فلا تزال الحمرة كذلك حتى تتكبّد السماء. وعرّفني أهل البلد أنه إذا كان الشتاء عاد الليل في طول النهار وعاد النهار في قصر الليل، حتى إنّ الرجل منا ليخرج إلى نهر يقال له إتل بيننا وبينه أقل من مسافة فرسخ وقت الفجر فلا يبلغه إلى العتمة إلى وقت طلوع الكواكب كلّها حتى تطبق السماء، ورأيتهم يتبرّكون بعواء الكلب جدّا ويقولون: تأتي عليهم سنة خصب وبركة وسلامة.
ورأيت الحيّات عندهم كثيرة حتى إنّ الغصن من الشجر ليلتفّ عليه عشر منها وأكثر، ولا يقتلونها ولا
تؤذيهم، ولهم تفاح أخضر شديد الحموضة جدّا، تأكله الجواري فيسمّن، وليس في بلدهم اكثر من شجر البندق، ورأيت منه غياضا تكون أربعين فرسخا في مثلها، قال: ورأيت لهم شجرا لا أدري ما هو، مفرط الطول وساقه أجرد من الورق ورؤوسه كرءوس النخل، له خوص دقاق إلّا أنه مجتمع، يعمدون إلى موضع من ساق هذه الشجرة يعرفونه فيثقبونه ويجعلون تحته إناء يجري إليه من ذلك الثّقب ماء أطيب من العسل، وإن أكثر الإنسان من شربه أسكره كما تسكر الخمر، وأكثر أكلهم الجاورس ولحم الخيل على أن الحنطة والشعير كثير في بلادهم، وكل من زرع شيئا أخذه لنفسه ليس للملك فيه حق غير أنهم يؤدّون إليه من كل بيت جلد ثور، وإذا أمر سريّة على بعض البلدان بالغارة كان له معهم حصّة. وليس عندهم شيء من الأدهان غير دهن السمك، فإنهم يقيمونه مقام الزيت والشيرج، فهم كانوا لذلك زفرين، وكلّهم يلبسون القلانس، وإذا ركب الملك ركب وحده بغير غلام ولا أحد معه، فإذا اجتاز في السوق لم يبق أحد إلّا قام وأخذ قلنسوته عن رأسه وجعلها تحت إبطه، فإذا جاوزهم ردوا قلانسهم فوق رؤوسهم، وكذلك كل من يدخل على الملك من صغير وكبير حتى أولاده وإخوته ساعة يقع نظرهم عليه يأخذون قلانسهم فيجعلونها تحت آباطهم ثم يومئون إليه برؤوسهم ويجلسون ثم يقومون حتى يأمرهم بالجلوس. وكلّ من جلس بين يديه فإنما يجلس باركا ولا يخرج قلنسوته ولا يظهرها حتى يخرج من بين يديه فيلبسها عند ذلك. والصواعق في بلادهم كثيرة جدا، وإذا وقعت الصاعقة في دار أحدهم لم يقربوه ويتركونه حتى يتلفه الزمان ويقولون: هذا موضع مغضوب عليه، وإذا رأوا رجلا له حركة ومعرفة بالأشياء قالوا: هذا حقه أن يخدم ربنا، فأخذوه وجعلوا في عنقه حبلا وعلّقوه في شجرة حتى يتقطع. وإذا كانوا يسيرون في طريق وأراد أحدهم البول فبال وعليه سلاحه انتهبوه وأخذوا سلاحه وجميع ما معه، ومن حطّ عنه سلاحه وجعله ناحية لم يتعرضوا له، وهذه سنتهم، وينزل الرجال والنساء النهر فيغتسلون جميعا عراة لا يستتر بعضهم من بعض ولا يزنون بوجه ولا سبب، ومن زنى منهم كائنا من كان ضربوا له أربع سكك وشدّوا يديه ورجليه إليها وقطّعوا بالفأس من رقبته إلى فخذه، وكذلك يفعلون بالمرأة، ثم يعلّق كلّ قطعة منه ومنها على شجرة، قال: ولقد اجتهدت أن تستتر النساء من الرجال في السباحة فما استوى لي ذلك، ويقتلون السارق كما يقتلون الزاني، ولهم أخبار اقتصرنا منها على هذا.

(O, TA.) عَثٌّ: see عُثَّةٌ.

عُثٌّ i. q. سُوسٌ [i. e.

عُثٌّ, which is expl. by IDrd as a pl., is a gen. n., having a pl. meaning though it is a sing: (TA:) the pl. of عُثٌّ is عِثَاثٌ. (Msb.) An Arab of the desert, being asked respecting his son, said, أُعْطِيهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِنْ مَالِى دَانِقًا وَإِنَّهُ فِيهِ لَأَسْرَعُ مِنَ العُثِّ فِى الصُّوفِ فِى الصَّيْفِ [I give him, every day, of my property, a dánik (a small silver coin), and verily he is quicker in consuming it than the moth-worm in wool in the summer]. (TA.) And one says, فُلَانٌ عُثُّ مَالٍ, (S, O,) meaning (assumed tropical:) Such a one is a consumer of property; (PS;) like as one says إِزَآءُ مَالٍ, (S, O,) meaning “ a manager of property. ” (PS.)

عق

1 عَقَّ, (Msb, K, TA,) aor. ـُ (TA,) inf. n. عَقٌّ, (Mgh, O, Msb, TA,) He clave, split, slit, ripped, or rent; (Mgh, O, Msb, K, TA;) and he cut. (Mgh, O, TA.) You say, عَقَّ ثَوْبَهُ He slit, ripped, or rent, his garment. (Msb.) and عُقَّتْ تَمِيمَتُهُ فِى بَنِى فُلَانٍ [His amulet was cut off among the sons of such a one]; said of a boy when he has attained to the prime of manhood, and become strong, with a tribe; originating from the fact that as long as the boy was an infant, his mother hung upon him amulets to preserve him from the evil eye; and when he became full-grown, they were cut off from him: whence the saying of a poet, بِلَادٌ بِهَا عَقَّ الشَّبَابُ تَمِيمَتِى

وَأَوَّلُ أَرْضٍ مَسَّ جِلْدِى تُرَابُهَا [A country in which the attaining to the prime of manhood cut off my amulet, and the first land of which the dust touched my skin]. (TA.) b2: and [hence,] عَقَّتِ الرِّيحُ المُزْنَ, aor. and inf. n. as above, The wind drew forth a shower of fine rain from the مزن [or clouds containing water]; as though it rent them. (TA.) And عُقَّتِ السَّحَابَةُ The cloud poured forth its water; [as though it were rent;] and ↓ اِنْعَقَّت [means the same]; (TA;) and ↓ اعتقّت [likewise]. (O.) b3: and عَقَّ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ, (S, Msb,) or عَنِ المَوْلُودِ, (K,) aor. ـُ (S, Msb, TA) and عَقِّ, (TA,) inf. n. عَقٌّ, (S, Msb,) He slaughtered as a sacrifice (S, Msb, K, TA) for his child, (S, Msb,) or for the new-born child, (K,) a sheep or goat, (T, Msb, TA,) [generally the latter,] on the seventh day after the birth. (T, S, Msb, TA.) And He shaved the [hair termed] عَقِيقَة [q. v.] (S, TA) of his child, (S,) or of the new-born child. (TA.) b4: And عَقَّ بِالسَّهْمِ He shot the arrow towards the sky; and that arrow was called عَقِيقَةٌ; (S, O, K;) and it was the arrow of self-excuse: they used to do thus in the Time of Ignorance [on the occasion of a demand for blood-revenge]; and if the arrow returned smeared with blood, they were not content save with the retaliation of slaughter; but if it returned clean, they stroked their beards, and made reconciliation on the condition of the bloodwit; the stroking of the beards being a sign of reconciliation: the arrow, however, as IAar says, did not [ever] return otherwise than clean: (S, O:) the origin was this: a man of the tribe was slain, and the slayer was prosecuted for his blood; whereupon a company of the chief men [of the family of the slayer] collected themselves together to the heirs [who claimed satisfaction for the blood] of the slain, and offered the bloodwit, asking forgiveness for the blood; and if the heir [who claimed satisfaction and who acted for himself and his coheirs] was a strong man, impatient of injury, he refused to take the bloodwit; but if weak, he consulted the people of his tribe, and then said to the petitioners, “We have, between us and our Creator, a sign denoting command and prohibition: we take an arrow, and set it on a bow, and shoot it towards the sky; and if it return to us smeared with blood, we are forbidden to take the bloodwit, and are not content save with the retaliation of slaughter; but if it return clean, as it went up, we are commanded to take the bloodwit: ” so they made reconciliation; for this arrow never returned otherwise than clean; and thus they had an excuse in the opinion of the ignorant of them. (L, TA.) A poet (S, O, TA) of the family of the slain, said by some to be of Hudheyl, by IB to be El-As'ar El-Joafee, who was absent from this reconciliation, (TA,) says, عَقُّوا بِسَهْمٍ ثُمَّ قَالُوا صَالِحُوا يَا لَيْتَنِى فِى القَوْمِ إِذْ مَسَحُوا الِلُّحَى

[They shot an arrow towards the sky; them they said, “Make ye reconciliation: ” would that I were among the party when they stroked the beards]: (S, O, TA:) or, as some relate it, the first word is عَقَّوْا, with fet-h to the ق; which belongs to the class of unsound verbs [i. e. to art. عقى]. (S, O.) b5: One says also, عَقَّ وَالِدَهُ, (S, O, K,) or أَبَاهُ, (Msb,) aor. ـُ (S, O, Msb,) inf. n. عُقُوقٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and مَعَقَّةٌ (S, O, K) and عَقٌّ, (TA,) He was undutiful, disobedient, refractory, or ill-mannered, to his parent, or father; contr. of بَرَّهُ; (K;) he broke his compact of obedience to his parent, or father; (TA;) he disobeyed his father; and failed, or neglected, to behave to him in a good, or comely, manner. (Msb.) And عَقَّ الرَّحِمَ, (TA, and Ham p. 93,) like قَطَعَهَا [i. e. He severed the tie, or ties, of relationship, by unkind behaviour to his kindred]. (Ham ib.) and عَقَّ [alone], aor. ـُ inf. n. عُقُوقٌ, [He was undutiful, &c.; or he acted undutifully, &c.; or] he contravened, or opposed, him whom he was under an obligation to obey. (Har p. 158.) عُقُوقُ الوَالِدَيْنِ [Undutiful treatment, &c., of the two parents] is said in a trad. to be one of the great sins. (O.) And it is said in a prov., العُقُوقُ

أَحَدُ الثُّكْلَيْنِ [Undutiful treatment of a parent is one of the two sorts of being bereft of a child]: or, as some relate it, العُقُوقُ ثُكْلُ مَنْ لَمْ يَثْكَلْ [Undutiful treatment of a parent is (like) the bereavement of him who is not (really) bereft of his child]: i. e. he whom his children have treated undutifully (مِنْ عَقَّهُ وَلَدُهُ) is as though he were bereft of his children although they are living. (O.) [See also 3: and 4.] b6: Hence, from عُقُوقُ الوَالِدَيْنِ, the verb is metaphorically used in the saying, in a trad., مَثَلُكُمْ وَمَثَلُ عَائِشَةَ مَثَلُ العَيْنِ فِى الرَّأْسِ تُؤْذِى صَاحِبَهَا وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَعُقَّهَا إِلَّا بِالَّذِى هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهَا (tropical:) [The similitude of you and of 'Áïsheh is that of the eye in the head, when it hurts its owner, and he cannot treat it severely save with that which is good for it: app. meaning that her severity was for the good of the objects thereof]. (TA.) A2: عَقَّ, intrans., said of lightning: see 7.

A3: عَقَّتْ said of a mare, and of an ass: see 4.

A4: عَقَّتِ الدَّلْوُ, inf. n. عَقُّ, means The bucket came up full from the well; and some of the Arabs say عَقَّت as having تَعْقِيَةٌ for its inf. n.; but it is [said to be] originally ↓ عَقَّقَت, the third ق being changed into ى, [which is then in this case suppressed,] like as they said تَظَنَّيْتُ from الظَّنُّ: [it is, however, mentioned in the TA in art. عقو also, and there expl. as meaning it rose in the well turning round: and from what here follows, it appears to mean it rose swiftly, cleaving the air:] a poet, cited by IAar, says, of a bucket, عَقَّتْ كَمَا عَقَّتْ دَلُوفُ العِقْبَانٌ meaning It clave [the air of] the well, rising swiftly, like the hastening of the swift eagle in its flight towards the prey. (TA in the present art.) 2 عَقَّّ see above, last sentence.3 عَاقَقْتُ فُلَانًا, aor. ـَ inf. n. عِقَاقٌ, I contravened, or opposed, such a one. (TA.) [See also عَقَّ وَالِدَهُ, in the latter half of the first paragraph.]4 اعقّ فُلَانٌ i. q. جَآءَ بِالعُقُوقِ [i. e. Such a one did that which was an act of undutifulness, disobedience, refractoriness, or ill manners, to his father or the like]. (S, TA.) [See also عَقَّ وَالِدَهُ, in the latter half of the first paragraph.] b2: and you say, مَا أَعَقَّهُ لِوَالِدِهِ [How undutiful, disobedient, refractory, or ill-mannered, is he to his father!]. (TA.) A2: اعقّت She (a mare, S, O, K, and an ass, TA) conceived, or became pregnant; (S, O, K;) or she did not conceive, or become pregnant, after having been covered by the stallion, or during a year or two years or some years; (K;) and ↓ عَقَّتْ, aor. ـِ (O, K, TA,) the verb being of the class of ضَرَبَ, (TA,) inf. n. عَقَاقٌ and عَقَقٌ (O, K, TA) and عُقُوقٌ, (CK, but not in other copies,) signifies the same, (O, * K, TA,) said of a mare, (O, K,) and of an ass; (O;) or عَقَاقٌ signifies pregnancy itself, as also عِقَاقٌ, (K,) and عَقَقٌ; (S, O;) or عَقَّتْ signifies she became pregnant; and اعقّت, the [hair called] عَقِيقَة grew in her belly upon the young one that she bore. (TA.) b2: Also It (a palm-tree, and a grape-vine) put forth what are termed عِقَّان [q. v.]. (S, O, K.) A3: اعقّهُ He made it bitter; (S, O, K;) namely, water; said of God; like اقعّهُ. (S, O.) and اعقّت الأَرْضُ المَآءَ The earth made the water bitter. (TA.) 7 انعقّ It became cloven, split, slit, ripped, or rent; or it clave, split, &c.; said of anything; (S, O, K, TA;) mentioned by Th as said of a garment. (TA.) b2: انعقّت السَّحَابَهُ The cloud became rent with the water. (S, O, K.) See also 1, first quarter. [And see 8.] b3: انعقّ البَرْقُ and ↓ عَقَّ [of which latter the aor. is probably يَعَقُّ, and the inf. n. عَقَقٌ, said in the K to mean اِنْشِقَاقٌ,] signify تَشَقَّقَ and اِنْشَقَّ [as though meaning The lightning became cloven]; (TA;) [but] the former is expl. as signifying the lightning was, or became, in a state of commotion (تَضَرَّبَ) in the clouds. (S, O.) [Another meaning is suggested by an explanation of عَقِيقَةٌ (q. v.) in relation to lightning.] b4: انعقّ الغُبَارُ i. q. سَطَعَ [app. as meaning The dust spread, or diffused itself]: (IF, O, K:) or اِنْشَقَّ وَسَطَعَ [became cleft, and diffused itself].

(TA.) b6: Hence, (S, O,) it is applied also to The sheep, or goat, [generally the latter,] that is slaughtered (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K) as a sacrifice for the recentlyborn infant (S, Mgh, Msb) on the occasion of the shaving of the infant's hair (O, K) on the seventh day after his birth, (S, Msb,) and of which the limbs are divided, and cooked with water and salt, and given as food to the poor: (Lth, TA:) Z holds it to be thus called from the same word as applied to the hair: but it is said [by some] to be so called because it is slaughtered by cutting the windpipe and gullet and the two external jugular veins: (TA:) the Prophet disallowed this appellation, (Mgh, Msb,) as being of evil omen, (Mgh,) or as though he saw them to regard it as of evil omen, (Msb,) and desired them to use نَسِيكَةٌ in its stead; (Mgh, Msb, TA;) saying I like not العُقُوق.
