(TA.) It is said in the Kur [lxxii. 16], لَوِ ا@سْتَقَامُوا عَلَى ا@لطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَاهُمْ مَاآءً غَدَقًا [ If they should go on undeviatingly in the way which they are pursuing, we would water then with abundant water ]; (O, TA;) to try them thereby; the طريقة here being that of infidelity; so says Th, and in like manner Fr; but others say that it is that of the right direction: (TA:) 'Ásim Ibn-Abi-n-Najood read ↓ غَدِقًا. (O, TA.) In the saying, in a trad., اَللّٰهُمَّ ا@سْقِنَا غَدَقًا ↓ مُغْدِقًا, the last word is used as a corroborative [the meaning being O God, water us very abundantly ]. (TA.) ― -b2- See also غَيْدَاقٌ.
