الحسك، محركة: نبات تعلق ثمرته بصوف الغنم، ورقه كورق الرجلة وأدق، وعند ورقه شوك ملزز صلب، ذو ثلاث شعب، وله ثمر، شربه يفتت حصى الكليتين والمثانة، وكذا شرب عصير ورقه جيد للباءة وعسر البول ونهش الأفاعي، ورشه في المنزل يقتل البراغيث، ويعمل على مثال شوكه أداة للحرب من حديد أو قصب، فيلقى حول العسكر، ويسمى باسمه.

Al-hask, when vocalized with harakat: a plant whose fruit attaches to sheep's wool, its leaves are like purslane but finer, and at its leaves are barbed, hard, three-branched thorns. It has fruit; drinking it breaks kidney and bladder stones. Likewise, drinking its leaf juice is good for sexual potency, difficulty urinating, and snake bites. Spraying it in the house kills fleas. And a weapon is made in the likeness of its thorns from iron or reed, thrown around armies, and called by its name.
