Parallel reading

الطوس، بالفتح: القمر عن ابن الأعرابي، نقله الأزهري، وفي المحكم: الهلال، وجمعه: أطواس.
Al-Taws, with fatha: the moon, according to Ibn al-A'rabi, as narrated by Al-Azhar, and in Al-Muhkam: the crescent moon, and its plural is Atwas.
طاس الشيء طوسا، إذا وطئه وكسره، عن ابن دريد، وكذلك الوطس.
The thing was crushed (tas shay'an tawsan), if one trampled and broke it, according to Ibn Duraid, and likewise Al-Wats.
يقال: طاس! يطوس طوسا، إذا حسن وجهه ونضر، بعد علة، مأخوذ من الطوس: القمر، كذا في التهذيب، ونسبه الصاغاني لأبي عمر و.
It is said: 'Tasa!' (he became radiant), 'yatous tawsan', if his face became beautiful and radiant, after an illness, derived from Al-Taws: the moon, as in Al-Tahdhib, and Al-Sagani attributed it to Abu Amr.
والصواب: دواء المشي، كما هو مضبوط بخط أبي السناء الأرموي في نسخة التهذيب، ونسبه الصاغاني إلى ابن الأعرابي، إلا أنه ضبط المشي، بفتح فسكون، وهو بكسر الشين وتشديد الياء، كما ضبطه الأرموي، ومعناه دواء يمشي البطن، وهو الإذريطوس الذي تقدم للمصنف في الهمز، وهو من أعظم الأدوية وبه فسر قول رؤبة:
And the correct reading is: medicine for walking, as it is noted in the handwriting of Abu Al-Thanaa Al-Armawi in a copy of Al-Tahdhib. Al-Sagani attributed it to Ibn Al-A'rabi, but he vocalized 'al-mashi' with fatha then sukun, which is with kasra of the sheen and shadda of the ya, as Al-Armawi vocalized it. Its meaning is medicine that moves the bowels, which is Al-Idhritous that the author mentioned previously in the section on Hamza, and it is one of the greatest medicines, and with it he explained the saying of Ru'bah:
شرب فلان الطوس، أي الإذريطوس، وقد تقدم.
So-and-so drank Al-Taws, meaning Al-Idhritous, and it has been mentioned before.
وفي الرومية: ثياذريطوس، سمي باسم ملك يونان، ركب له، وكان قبل جالينوس، وأنه مسهل من غير مشقة، وأنه ينفع من النسيان، وتركيبه من خمسة وعشرين جزءا.
And in Roman: Thyadrithos, named after a king of Greece, prepared for him, and it was before Galen, and it is a laxative without difficulty, and it benefits from forgetfulness, and its composition is from twenty-five parts.
طوس: د، م، أي بلد معروف بخراسان، وقد نسب إليه خلق كثير من قدماء المحدثين، مثل محمد بن أسلم الطوسي، وغيره.
Tus: D., M., meaning a known city in Khorasan, and many early hadith scholars are attributed to it, such as Muhammad ibn Aslam Al-Tusi, and others.
طواس، كسحاب: ع، وضبطه ابن دريد بالضم، وفي المحكم: طوس وطواس: موضعان، وضبطه الأرموي بضمهما، وضبطه الصاغاني أيضا بالضم، فظهر من جميع هذه الأقوال أن ضبط المصنف خطأ.
Tawas, like Sahab: 'ayn, and Ibn Duraid vocalized it with damma. In Al-Muhkam: Tus and Tawas are two places, and Al-Armawi vocalized them with damma, and Al-Sagani also vocalized them with damma. Thus, it appears from all these opinions that the author's vocalization is incorrect.
طواس: ليلة من ليالي المحاق، هكذا ضبطه الصاغاني بالفتح، فاغتر به المصنف، والصواب ما في امحكم: طواس، بالضم، على ما ضبطه الأرموي، وقال: هو من ليالي آخر الشهر.
Tawas: a night of the nights of al-muhaq (new moon), this is how Al-Sagani vocalized it with fatha, and the author was deceived by it. The correct reading is in Al-Muhkam: Tawas, with damma, as Al-Armawi vocalized it, and he said: it is from the nights at the end of the month.
والطاس: الإناء يشرب فيه، وفي المحكم: به، قال: وقال أبو حنيفة: وهو القاقزة.
And Al-Tas: the vessel in which one drinks, and in Al-Muhkam: in it. He said: And Abu Hanifa said: it is Al-Qaqazah.
والطاووس: طائر حسن، م، همزته بدل من واو، لقولهم: طواويس تصغيره طويس،) بعد حذف الزيادات، ج: أطواس باعتقاد حذف الزيادة، قال رؤبة:
And Al-Tawus: a beautiful bird, m., its hamza is a replacement for waw, because they say: Tawawis, its diminutive is Tuways, after removing the additions, plural: Atwas, assuming the removal of the addition. Ru'bah said:
كما استوى بيض النعام الأملاس ... مثل الدمى تصويرهن أطواس
As smooth ostrich eggs are equal... like dolls, their depiction is Atwas.
والطاووس: الجميل من الرجال، بلغة الشام، وأنشد:
And Al-Tawus: the handsome one among men, in the dialect of Sham, and he recited:
فلو كنت طاووسا لكنت مملكا ... رعين ولكن أنت لأم هبنقع
If you were a peacock, you would be a king... Rayn, but you are the son of Umm Hibnaq.
والطاووس: الفضة بلغة اليمن، ونقله الزمخشري أيضا.
And Al-Tawus: silver, in the dialect of Yemen, and Al-Zamakhshari also narrated this.
والطاووس: الأرض المخضرة التي فيها، ونص الأزهري والصاغاني: عليها، كل ضرب من النبت، وفي التهذيب: من الورد، أيام الربيع.
And Al-Tawus: the green land that is in it. The text of Al-Azhar and Al-Sagani says: upon it, every kind of plant, and in Al-Tahdhib: of roses, in the days of spring.

طويس كزبير: مخنث، كان يسمى طاووسا، فلما تخنث تسمى بطويس، ويكنى بأبي عبد النعيم، وفي الصحاح: تسمى بعبد النعيم، وقال في نفسه:
Tuways, like Zubayr: a eunuch, he was called Tawus, and when he became effeminate, he was called Tuways, and his kunya was Abu Abd Al-Naim. In Al-Sihah: he was called Abd Al-Naim, and he said to himself:
إنني عبد النعيم ... أنا طاووس الجحيم
Indeed, I am Abd Al-Naim... I am the peacock of hell.
وأنا أشأم من يم ... شي على ظهر الحطيم
And I am more ill-omened than one who walks upon the back of Al-Hatim.
وهو أول من غنى في الإسلام بالمدينة، ونقر بالدف المربع، وكان أخذه من سبي فارس، وكان خليعا يضحك الثكلى الحزنى.
And he was the first to sing in Islam in Medina, and to play the square tambourine. He was taken from the captives of Persia, and he was dissolute, making even a grieving mother laugh.
ويضرب به المثل في الشؤم، ويقال: أشأم من طويس، قال ابن سيده: وأراه تصغير طاووس مرخما.
And he is used as an example of ill omen, and it is said: 'more ill-omened than Tuways'. Ibn Sideh said: And I think it is a shortened diminutive of Tawus.
يا أهل المدينة توقعو خروج الدجال ما دمت بين ظهرانيكم، فإذا مت فقد أمنتم، فتدبروا ما أقول، إن أمي كانت تمشي بالنمائم بين نساء الأنصار، ثم ولدتني في الليلة التي مات فيها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وفطمتني يوم مات أبو بكر. رضي الله تعالى عنه، فكان عمره إذ ذاك سنتين وأربعة أشهر، وبلغت الحلم يوم مات عمر، رضي الله تعالى عنه، فكان عمره إذ ذاك ثلاث عشرة سنة كوامل، وتزوجت يوم قتل عثمان، رضي الله عنه، وولد لي يوم قتل علي، رضي الله عنه، فكان عمره إذ ذاك أربعين سنة، فمن مثلي في الشؤم: اللهم أعذنا من بلائك.
O people of Medina, expect the appearance of the Dajjal as long as I am among you. When I die, you will be safe. Ponder what I say. My mother used to spread gossip among the women of the Ansar, then she gave birth to me on the night the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) died. I was weaned on the day Abu Bakr died, may Allah have mercy on him. My age was then two years and four months. I reached puberty on the day Umar died, may Allah have mercy on him. My age was then thirteen full years. I got married on the day Uthman was killed, may Allah be pleased with him. And I had a child on the day Ali was killed, may Allah be pleased with him. His age was then forty years. Who is like me in ill omen? O Allah, protect us from Your trials.
والمطوس، كمعظم: الشيء الحسن، قال رؤبة:
And Al-Mutawwas, like Mu'azzam: the beautiful thing, Ru'bah said:
أزمان ذات الغبغب المطوس
Times of the one with the beautiful neck, the beautiful one.
ويقال: وجه مطوس، أي حسن، قال أبو صخر الهذلي:
And it is said: a beautiful face (wajhun mutawwas), meaning beautiful. Abu Sakhr Al-Hudhali said:
ومطوس سهل مدامعه ... لا شاحب عار ولا جهم
And Mutawwas, whose tears flow easily... neither pale and ashamed nor grim.
والمطوس: صحابي، لم أجد له ذكرا في معاجم الصحابة ولا في التبصير للحافظ، فلينظضر، ثم رأيت في كتاب الكنى لابن المهندس ما نصه: أبو المطوس، ويقال: ابن المطوس، عن أبيه، روي عن حبيب بن أبي ثابت، قال: إن اسمه عبد الله بن المطوس، أراه كوفيا ثقة، قال البخاري: اسم يزيد بن المطوس، وقال أبو حاتم: لا يسمى، وقال أبو داوود: اختلف على سفيان وشعبة أبو المطوس وابن المطوس. ورأيت في الديوان للذهبي ما نصه: أبو المطوس المكي، عن أبيه، قال ابن حبان: لا يجوز أن يحتج به.
And Al-Mutawwas: a Companion. I did not find his mention in the dictionaries of Companions nor in Al-Tabsir by Al-Hafiz, so it needs to be looked into. Then I saw in the book of Kunyas by Ibn Al-Muhandis what he stated: Abu Al-Mutawwas, and it is said: Ibn Al-Mutawwas, from his father, narrated from Habib ibn Abi Thabit. He said: His name is Abdullah ibn Al-Mutawwas, I think he is a reliable Kufan. Al-Bukhari said: The name is Yazid ibn Al-Mutawwas. Abu Hatim said: He is not named. Abu Dawud said: There was disagreement among Sufyan and Shu'bah regarding Abu Al-Mutawwas and Ibn Al-Mutawwas. And I saw in Al-Diwan by Al-Dhahabi what he stated: Abu Al-Mutawwas Al-Makki, from his father. Ibn Hibban said: It is not permissible to use him as proof.
ويقال: ما أدري أين طوس به، وليس في التهذيب لفظ به قال: وكذلك: أين طمس، أي أين ذهب به.
And it is said: I don't know where Tus took him, and there is no such wording in Al-Tahdhib. He said: Likewise: 'Where did Tams take him?', meaning where did he go.
تطوست المرأة، إذا تزينت، نقله ابن سيده والصاغاني.
The woman adorned herself (tatwawwasat al-mar'ah), if she beautified herself, as narrated by Ibn Sideh and Al-Sagani.
والطواويس: د، ببخارى، وهي القرية التي تقدم ذكرها قريبا، فإعادتها تكرار مخل لا يخفى.

لم أعلم نسبة - الطاووسي إلى أي شيء، وسمعت جماعة من فقهائهم ينتسبون هكذا، ويزعمون أنهم من نسل طاووس بن كيسان التابعي، فلعله منهم.
I do not know to what the attribution 'Al-Tawusi' refers. I heard a group of their jurists attributing themselves this way, claiming they are from the lineage of Tawus ibn Kaysan, the Tabi'i, so perhaps it is from them.
وطاووس الحرمين: لقب قطب الشريعة أبي الخير إقبال الكلبي، مقامه بأبرقوه، يزعمون أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لقبه بذلك، وهو تلميذ أبي الحسن السيرواني الآخذ عن جنيد البغدادي، رضي الله تعالى عنه، وإليه انتسبت الطائفة! الطاووسية بفارس، أكبرهم شيخ الشيوخ صفي الدين أحمد الصافي الطاووسي الأبرقوهي، ومن ولده غياث الدين أبو الفضل محمد بن عبد القادر بن عبد الحق بن عبد القادر بن عبد السلام بن أحمد بن أبي الخير بن محمد بن أبي بكر، ابن الشيخ أحمد الصاحب، سمع عن أبيه، وأجاز له ابن أميلة، والصلاح، والعزبن جماعة والنافعي، مات بشيراز سنة.
And Tawus of the Two Sanctuaries: a title of Qutb Al-Shari'ah Abu Al-Khair Iqbal Al-Kalbi, residing in Abarkuh. They claim that the Prophet (peace be upon him) gave him this title. He was a student of Abu Al-Hasan Al-Sirwani, who took from Junaid Al-Baghdadi, may Allah have mercy on him. The Tawusiyyah sect in Persia attributed themselves to him. Their greatest was Sheikh Al-Shuyukh Safi Al-Din Ahmad Al-Safi Al-Tawusi Al-Abarkuhi, and among his descendants was Ghiyath Al-Din Abu Al-Fadl Muhammad ibn Abd Al-Qadir ibn Abd Al-Haqq ibn Abd Al-Qadir ibn Abd Al-Salam ibn Ahmad ibn Abi Al-Khair ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr, son of Sheikh Ahmad Al-Sahib. He heard from his father and was granted ijazah by Ibn Amilah, Al-Salah, and a group including Al-Azban and Al-Nafi'i. He died in Shiraz in the year...

And his nephew, Majd Al-Din Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan ibn Musa ibn Tawus Al-Naqib, and he is the one who saved Al-Hillah, Al-Nil, and the two holy shrines from the hands of Hulagu, so they were not plundered or violated like the rest of the lands. And there are many of them, this is not the place to mention them.
