شءف

شَئِفٌ ذ [part. n. of شَئِفَ, and properly meaning Having an ulcer, or imposthume, such as is termed شَأْفَة,] is applied as an epithet to a heart, in the following verse, cited by IKtt, يَا أَيُّهَا الجَاهِلُ أَلَّا تَنْصَرِفْ وَلَمْ تُدَاوِ قُرْصَةَ القَلْبِ الشَّئِفْ [in which قُرْصَةَ is doubtless a mistranscription (like that in the next preceding paragraph) for قَرْحَةَ; the obvious meaning of the verse being, (assumed tropical:) O thou ignorant one, wherefore wilt not thou revert, when thou hast not cured the sore of an ulcerated heart? ].
