سجد

دَرَاهِم الأَسْجَاد ذ , (O, K,) or الاـِسْجَاد, (S, O, K,) thus some relate it, with kesr to the ء, (O, K,) in the saying of El-Aswad Ibn-Yaafur. مِنْ خَيْرِ ذِى نَطَفٍ أَغَنَّ مُنَطَّقٍ وَافَى بِهَا لِدَرَاهِمِ الاـِأَسْجَادِ [ Of the wine of one with earrings, having a nasal twang, girded with a waist-belt, i. e., of a foreigner: he brought it for what are termed دراهم الاسجاد], (S, * O, K, but in the copies of the K كَدَرَاهِم, [which I think a mistranscription,]) means dirhems whereon were effigies to which people performed the act of سُجُود: (S, O, K:) it is said that upon them was the effigy of Kisrà, and he who beheld them lowered his head to them and showed humility [as the Persians in the present day do to the picture of their King]: (IAmb, TA:) or الأَسْجَاد means the tax called جِزْيَة: (O, K:) so says AO, (O,) or A 'Obeyd: (TA:) or the Jews and the Christians: (O, K:) some say the former and some say the latter: (O:) and it is read with kesr to the ء, and expl. as meaning the Jews, (O, K,) by IAar. (O.) [Whatever be the signification of the last word, the verse plainly means, “ of wine of a foreigner, sold by him for foreign money. ”]
