1 مَلَذَ ذ , aor. مَلُذَ , inf. n. مَلْذٌ, He was quick in coming and going. (M, L.) This is the original signification. (L.) ― -b2- He (a horse) was quick in his running. (K, in which only the inf. n. is mentioned.) ― -b3- He (a-horse) stretched forth his arms, (مَذَّ ضَبْعَيْهِ, S, M, L, K,) in running, (S,) to a degree that he could not exceed, to overtake, (حَتَّى لَا يَجِدَ مَزِيدًا لِلِّحَاقٍ, M, L, K,) and contracted, or drew in, (حَبَسَ, [perhaps a mistake for خَنَسَ, which may mean either contracted, or threw back, ]) his hind legs to a degree that he could not exceed, to overtake, without any confusion [ in his motions ]. (M, L.) ― -b4- مَلَذَهُ, aor. مَلُذَ , inf. n. مَلْذٌ and مَلَاذَةٌ, He contented him with courteous and soothing speech, and made him to hear that which rejoiced him, without doing, or performing, anything.
