(TA.) ― -b3- It is said in a trad., جَاآءَ الخَلِيلُ اـِلَى مَكَّةَ يُطَالِعُ تَرْكَتَهُ (assumed tropical:) [ El-Khaleel (i. e. Abraham) came to Mekkeh to get knowledge of his تركة], meaning Hagar, and her son Ishmael: (K:) the word originally means an ostrich's egg, and is here used metaphorically; for the ostrich lays but one egg in the year, and then leaves it and goes away: (TA:) Z says, in the Fáïk, that it is thus related, with the ر quiescent; (Nh, O, TA;) but it would be a proper way if it were with kesr to the ر [↓ تَرِكَتَهُ,] as meaning the thing that he had left, or forsaken, &c. (Nh, O, K.)
