دسم

دَسَمٌ أدسم دسم a word of well-known meaning; (S;) i. q. وَدَكٌ; (M, K;) both signifying Grease, or gravy; i. e. the dripping that exudes from flesh-meat and from fat; (Msb in art. ودك;) the وَدَك of flesh-meat and of fat: (Mgh: [in the CK, الوَرَكُ is erroneously put for الوَدَكُ:]) or, accord. to the T, anything that has وَدَك, of flesh-meat and of fat: (TA:) and dirt, or filth: (M, K:) and ↓ دَسْمٌ signifies the same as دَسَمٌ, accord. to El-Kurtubee; but El-Welee El-'Irákee says, I have not seen this on the authority of any other lexicologist. (TA.) You say, يَدُهُ مِنَ الدَّسَمِ سَلِطَةٌ [app. meaning, if correctly transcribed, His hand is hard by reason of dirt adhering to it: in my MS. copy of the K, the last word is written سَطِلَةٌ; a word which I do not find in any sense: in the TK, سطلة: this Freytag thinks to be the right reading, though I know of no such word; and he renders the phrase, “ manus ejus propter sordes inhaerentes catinus est; ” evidently assuming that سطلة is a dial. var. of سَطْلٌ]. (K.) [It seems that you say also, مَا فِيهِ دَسَمٌ meaning (assumed tropical:) There is not in him, or it, any profit, or good: a sense assigned in the TA to the phrase ما فيه ديسم دسم; in which I think it evident that the transcriber has written ديسم by mistake, and forgotten to erase it after adding دسم.) ― -b2- Also The bowels, or intestines. (TA.) -A2- Accord. to IAar, it means also كَثِيرُ الذِّكْرِ [ Praising, or glorifying, God, much ]; a sense in which it is incorrectly said in the K to be ↓ دَسِيمٌ, like أَمِيرٌ: (TA:) and hence the trad., of weak authority, لَا يَذْكُرُونَ ا@للّٰهَ اـِلَّا دَسَمًا: (K:) or, accord. to Z, this is from دَسَمَ said of rain: and, as related by Abu-d-Dardà, the words are أَرَضِيتُمْ اـِنْ شَبِعْتُمْ عَامًا أَلَّا تَذْكُرُونَ ا@للّٰهَ اـِلَّا دَسَمًا, meaning [ Do ye approve, if ye be satisfied in your stomachs throughout a year, ] that ye should not praise, or glorify, God, save a little? (TA:) or it may denote commendation; so that the meaning of لا يذكرون اللّٰه الّا دسمًا is, that praise, or glorification, is the stuffing of their hearts and of their mouths: and it may denote discommendation; as meaning that they praise, or glorify, little; from تَدْسِيمُ نُونَةِ الصَّبِىِّ; (K, TA;) the blackness denoted by this phrase being small in quantity: or, as some say, the meaning is, that they do not praise, or glorify, God for anything but eating, and the grease, or gravy, in their insides.
