And, said of anxiety, or disquietude of mind, It prevented him, or withheld him, from uttering poetry, or verse. (K.) ― -b2- And He found him to be مُفْحَم, (S, K,) not uttering poetry, or verse. (S.) One says هَاجَاهُ فَأَفْحَمَهُ, meaning [ He contended with him in satirizing ] and he found him to be مُفْحَم, accord. to the K: (TA:) and هَاجَيْنَاكُمْ فَمَا أَفْحَمْنَاكُمْ (S [in which it is implied that the meaning is We contended with you in satirizing and found you not to be مُفْحَمُون]): or, accord. to IB, this means, and we caused you not to hold the tongue from answering, or replying; because المُهَاجَاةُ is between two persons: but you [may] say هَجَوْتُهُ فَأَفْحَمْتُهُ meaning [ I satirized him ] and I found him to be مُفْحَم. (TA.)
