نسء

نَسَاآءٌ ذ Length of life. (Akh, S, K.) ― -b2- The Fakeeh of the Arabs [El-Hárith Ibn-Keledeh, as said in the Mz, close of 39th نوع, where the following is quoted,] says, مَنْ سَرَّهُ النَّسَاآءُ وَلَا نَسَاآءَ فَلْيُخَفِّفِ الرِّدَاآءَ وَلْيُبَاكِرِ الغَدَاآءَ وَلْيُؤَخِّرِ العَشَاآءَ وَلْيُقِلَّ غِشْيَانَ النِّسَاآءِ [ Let him whom length of life rejoiceth ( but there is no long endurance in life ) lighten his debts, and make his morning-meal early, and delay his evening-meal, and take little enjoyment in women ]: (S, * TA:) الرداء here means debt. (T, M, TA, in art. ردى, where this saying is cited with some variations.)
