Parallel reading

الرذاذ، كسحاب: المطر الضعيف

Drizzle, like 'saḥāb': weak rain.

وهو فوق القطقط، (أو الساكن الدائم الصغار القطر كالغبار، أو هو بعد الطل)

It is above 'qaṭqaṭ', (or the constant, permanent small drops like dust, or it is after 'ṭal').

كأن هفت القطقط المنثور بعد رذاذ الديمة الديجور على قراه فلق الشذور

As if the scattered 'qaṭqaṭ' had blown after the drizzle of the dark, continuous rain upon its banks, splitting the pebbles.

فجعل الرذاذ للديمة، واحدته رذاذة

And he made the drizzle for the continuous rain, its singular is 'radhādhah'.

وفي الأساس الرذاذ، بالفتح: مطر رقيق فوق الطل

And in Al-Asās, 'ar-radhādh' (with fatḥah): thin rain above 'ṭal'.

فإنه أراد رذاذا، فحذف ضرورة

For he intended 'radhādhā', and omitted it out of necessity.

وشبه شعره بالرذاذ في أنه لا يكاد ينقطع، لا أنه عنى به الضعيف، بل يشتد مرة، فيكون كالوابل، ويسكن مرة، فيكون كالرذاذ الذي هو دائم ساكن

And he likened his poetry to drizzle in that it hardly stops, not that he meant it to be weak, but rather it intensifies at times, becoming like a downpour, and subsides at times, becoming like drizzle which is constant and still.

وأما قوحل بخدج يهجو أبا نخيلة: لاقى النخيلات حناذا محنذا مني وشلا للأعادي مشقذا وقافيات عارمات شمذا من هاطلات وابلا ورذذا

And as for Qawḥal, in a poem mocking Abu Nakhīlah: 'He met the small palm trees, strong and firm, with a torrent from me for enemies, and flowing verses, like downpours and drizzle.'

وأرض مرذ عليها

And land upon which rain has fallen.

هاذه عن ثعلب، وقال الأصمعي: لا يقال مرذة ولا مرذوذة، ولاكن مرذ عليها، هاذا نص عبارة المحكم

These are from Tha'lab, and Al-Asma'ī said: 'Maradhah' and 'maradhūdhah' are not said, but rather 'maradh 'alayhā', this is the exact wording from Al-Muḥkam.

وفي التهذيب عن الأصمعي: أخف المطر وأضعفه الطل، ثم الرذاذ

And in Al-Tahdhīb, from Al-Asma'ī: The lightest and weakest rain is 'ṭal', then 'radhādh'.

وقال الكسائي: أرض مرذة ومطلولة

And Al-Kisā'ī said: A land that is 'maradhah' and 'maṭlūlah'.

ونقل الجوهري عن أبي عبيد مثل قول الأصمعي

And Al-Jawharī transmitted from Abu 'Ubayd a statement similar to Al-Asma'ī's.

ونقل شيخنا عن الخطابي والسهيلي في الروض: الرذاذ: أكثر من الطش والبغش، وأما الطل فأقوى قليلا أو نحو منه، يقال أرض مطلولة ومطشوشة، ولا يقال مرذوذة ولاكن مرذة ومرذ عليها

And our Sheikh transmitted from Al-Khaṭṭābī and Al-Suhaylī in Al-Rawḍ: 'Ar-radhādh' is more than 'ṭashsh' and 'baghsh', and as for 'ṭal', it is slightly stronger or similar. It is said 'arḍ maṭlūlah' and 'maṭshūshah', and 'maradhūdhah' is not said, but rather 'maradhah' and 'maradh 'alayhā'.
