(S, Msb.) ― -b2- دَسِّمُوا نُونَتَهُ, (Mgh, K,) said by 'Othmán respecting a beautiful boy, (Mgh,) means Blacken ye his dimple in the chin, in order that the evil eye may not have effect upon it. (Mgh, K. *) [Accord. to another explanation, mentioned in the TA, the blackness denoted by this phrase is behind the ear: but this is evidently a mistake.] ― -b3- See also 1.
