رقء

رَقُوْءٌ ذ A styptic; or a thing that is put upon blood for the purpose of stanching it, or stopping its flowing: (S, K:) a subst. from رَقَأَ. (Msb.) Hence the saying, (Msb,) accord. to J, in a trad., but this is a mistake, for it is a saying of Aktham, (K,) or, accord. to the Expositions of the Fs, it was said by Keys Ibn-'Ásim El-Minkaree, (TA,) لَا تَسُبُّوا الاـِبِلَ فَاـِنَّ فِيهَا رَقُوْءَ الدَّمِ [ Revile not ye camels, or it may perhaps mean hock not ye camels, but the former, I am told, is here meant, for in them is a preventive of the flowing of blood ]; alluding to their being given in compensation for homicide, and thus preventing the shedding of blood. (S, Msb, K, TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] رَجُلٌ رَقُوْءٌ بَيْنَ القَوْمِ (assumed tropical:) A man who is a reconciler of the people; or a peacemaker between them: and [so] رَقُوْءٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُمْ, a phrase used by a poet. (TA.)
