دفو

4 أَدْفَوَ see 1. -A2- It is related in a trad. that a captive was brought to the Prophet, (S, TA,) shivering by reason of cold, (TA,) and he said to some persons, اِذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَأَدْفُوهُ, meaning [ Take ye him away and ] clothe him so as to protect him from the cold; (S, TA;) for أَدْفِئُوهُ; because the pronunciation of ء was not of the dial. of Kureysh; but they thought that he meant slaughter; (TA;) and they took him away and slew him: therefore he paid the fine for his blood. (S, TA.) As is said in the K, أَدْفَيْتُ is a dial. var. of أَدْفَأْتُ. (TA.) -A3- ادفى said of a gazelle, His horns were, or became, so long as almost to reach his hinder part. (T, K.)
