Parallel reading

هاذا الضبط مع قوله: (كجلنار) مستدرك، وفيه إطناب، ووزنه به، مع الإجماع على زيادة همزته، غير مناسب.

This vocalization, along with his saying: (like julnar), is an addition, and it contains redundancy, and its meter with it, despite the consensus on the addition of its hamza, is inappropriate.

ووهم الجوهري في تخفيفه ؛ لاءنه قال: الهنب، بالتحريك، مصدر قولك: امرأة هنباء، أي: بلهاء، بينة الهنب؛

And Al-Jawhari erred in simplifying it; because he said: Al-hinb, with harakah, is the masdar of your saying: a woman hinba', meaning foolish, clearly foolish;

قال الشاعر: مجنونة هنباء بنت مجنون

The poet said: A mad hinba' daughter of a madman.

روى الأزهري عن أبي خليفة أن محمد بن سلام أنشده للنابغة الجعدي: وشر حشو خباء أنت مولجه مجنونة هنباء بنت مجنون

Al-Azharī narrated from Abu Khalifa that Muhammad bin Salam recited to him from Al-Nābighah Al-Ja'dī: And the worst stuffing of a tent you enter is a mad hinba' daughter of a madman.

وهي: (البلهاء الورهاء)

And she is: (the foolish, the simple-minded).

ووجدت بخط أبي زكريا عند قول الجوهري هاذا، قلت: وقال غيره: الهنبى، مضموم الهاء مفتوح النون، مقصور: المرأة المجنونة،

And I found in the handwriting of Abu Zakariya near Al-Jawhari's saying this, I said: And others said: Al-hinba, with a damma on the ha and a fatha on the nun, shortened: the mad woman,

قال الشاعر: / وشر حشو خباء أنت مولجه مجنونة هنبى بنت لمجنون

The poet said: / And the worst stuffing of a tent you enter is a mad hinba' daughter of a madman.

قال الأزهري: ويروى: هبتاء، من الهبتة، وهي الغفلة.

Al-Azharī said: And it is narrated: habta', from al-habtah, which is heedlessness.

وهنباء على فعلاء، بتشديد العين والمد قال: ولا أعرف في كلام العرب له نظيرا.

And hinba' on the pattern of fa'laa', with a shadda on the 'ayn and madd, he said: And I do not know of a parallel for it in the speech of the Arabs.

والأحمق، كالهنبى، بالقصر في الكل، أي، مع تشديد النون، الأخير نقله الصاغاني.

And the fool, like al-hinba, with qasr in all of them, meaning, with a shadda on the nun, the latter was narrated by Al-Saghani.

ورواه الأزهري عن ابن الأعرابي، قال: وبه سمي الرجل هنبا.

And Al-Azharī narrated it from Ibn Al-A'rabi, he said: And by it, the man was named Hinnab.

هاذا النقل عنه، غير صواب، فإن الذي نقله عنه ابن منظور وغيره: امرأة هنباء وهنبى، يمد ويقصر وأيضا على الفرض، فإن التحريك في كلام ابن دريد، راجع للثاني، لا لهما، كما توهمه، وأشار لذا شيخنا، فكلام المصنف يحتاج إلى التحرير، بعد تصحيح النقل.

This narration from him is incorrect, for what Ibn Manzur and others narrated from him is: a woman hinba' and hinba', lengthened and shortened. Also, assuming it is correct, the harakah in Ibn Durayd's speech refers to the latter, not both, as he assumed. Our shaykh pointed this out, so the author's statement needs revision after correcting the narration.

وهو أخو عبد القيس. وأبو عمر ووقاسط، قاله ابن قتيبة.

And he is the brother of Abd al-Qays. And the father of Amr and Waqasit, said Ibn Qutaybah.

وإنما هو هنب، فصحفه أصحاب الحديث قال الأزهري: رواه الشافعي وغيره: هيت، قال: وأظنه صوابا.

Rather, it is Hinnab, and the hadith scholars corrupted it. Al-Azharī said: Al-Shafi'i and others narrated it as Hayt, he said: And I think it is correct.
