نقل الكسائي منهن الثمانية الأول

Al-Kisa'i transmitted the first eight of them.

والماحوز: ريحان، ويقال له أيضا: مروماحوزي، ويختصر فيقال مرماحوز، وهو نبات مثل المرو الدقاق الورق، وورده أبيض، وهو طيب الريح، ويقال له: الخرنباش.

And 'al-maḥūz': is a fragrant plant, and it is also called 'marūmāḥūzī', abbreviated to 'marmāḥūz'. It is a plant like Marwa, with fine leaves, white flowers, and a pleasant scent. It is also called 'al-kharnabāsh'.

المَاحُوز: هو المكان الذي بينهم وبين العدو، وفيه أساميهم، بلغة الشام

Al-māḥūz: is the place between them and the enemy, where their names are kept, in the language of the Levant.

ومنه الحديث: فلم نزل مفطرين حتى بلغنا ماحوزنا

And from the Hadith: 'We continued to break our fast until we reached our Maḥūz'.

وليس من حزت الشيء أحوزه لأنه لو كان كذلك لقيل: محازنا، ومحوزنا.

And it is not from 'ḥaztu ash-shay'a aḥūzuhu' (I cut the thing, I cut it) because if it were so, it would have been said: 'maḥāzanā' and 'maḥūzanā'.
