It is said in a prov., اُحْلُبْ حَلَبًا لَكَ شَطْرُهُ [ Milk thou a milking of which half shall be for thee ]. (S.) And one says شَعَرٌ شَطْرَانِ Hair [ half ] black and [ half ] white. (A.) Accord. to Ibráheem El-Harbee, (O,) the saying of the Prophet, مَنْ مَنَعَ صَدَقَةً فَاـِنَّا اآخِذُوهَا وَشَطْرَ مَالِهِ [ Whoso refuses to render a poor-rate, verily we take it from him, and half of his property ], thus related by Bahz, is a mistake, and the right wording is, وَشُطِرَ مَالُهُ, meaning and his property shall be divided into two halves, and the collector of the poor-rate shall have the option given him and shall take that rate from out of the better of the two halves, as a punishment for the man's refusal of the rate; (O, K;) but it is said that this law was afterwards abrogated: (O:) Esh-Sháfi'ee, however, says that, in the old time, when one refused the poor-rate of his property, it was taken from him, and half of his property was taken as a punishment for his refusal; and he adduces this trad. as evidence thereof; but says that in recent times, only the poor-rate was taken from him, and this trad. was asserted to be abrogated.

And similar is the saying in another trad., الطَّهُورُ شَطْرُ الاـِيمَانِ (assumed tropical:) [ Purification is part of faith ]. (TA.) ― -b5- Either the fore pair or the hind pair of the teats of a she-camel: she has two pairs of teats, a fore pair and a hind pair, and each pair is thus called: (S, K:) and either of the two teats of a ewe or she-goat: (IAar, TA:) pl. أَشْطُرٌ. (S, TA.) Hence the saying, (S,) فُلَانٌ حَلَبَ الدَّهْرَ أَشْطُرَهُ (tropical:) Such a one has known, or tried, varieties of fortune: (S, * TA:) has experienced the good and evil of fortune; (S, K, TA;) its straitness and its ampleness: being likened to one who has milked all the teats of a camel, that which yields plenty of milk and that which does not; the fore pair being the good; and the hind pair, the evil: or, as some say, أَشْطُر means streams, or flows, of milk: and [in like manner] one says, حَلَبَ الدَّهْرَ شَطْرَيْهِ.

The noun in this sense has no verb belonging to it: or one says, شَطَرَ شَطْرَهُ [expl. above: see 1]. (K.) ― -b7- Also Distance, or remoteness. (TA.)

شُطُرٌ ذ : see شَطِيرٌ [of which it is both a syn. and a pl.].

Arab. and Engl. Dict., Johnson's ed.:)] or [accord. to some] it is from الشَّطَارَةُ, (O, K,) or المُشَاطَرَةُ, referring to the word شطرنج; (TA;) or from التَّسْطِيرُ, (O, K,) referring to the word سطرنج; so says Ibn-Hishám El-Lakhmee: but, as IB and others have said, these derivations are only partial, making the ن and the ج to be augmentative letters, and are manifestly incorrect.
