رفه

Root entry · 1 derived lemma

رَفْهَةٌ ذ Pity, compassion, or mercy. (AHeyth, K.) Thus expl. as used in the saying, اـِذَا سَقَطَتِ الطَّرْفَهْ قَلَّتْ فِى الأَرْضِ الرَّفْهَه. (TA. [But الطَّرْفَه is here an evident mistranscription for الصَّرْفَه, the name of the Twelfth Mansion of the Moon: the meaning is, When الصرفه sets aurorally, pity becomes little in the earth; because then the cold ends: see art. صرف.])
