روى ثعلب عن ابن الأعرابي: والمدعي: المتهم في نسبه

Tha'lab narrated from Ibn Al-A'rabi: And Al-Mudda'i: the one accused in his lineage.

كأنه يعني ابن الأعرابي جعله من الدعوة في النسب، وليست الميم بأصلية.

As if he means Ibn Al-A'rabi made it from 'Al-Da'wah' (the claim) in lineage, and the Meem is not original.

قال الصاغاني: ههنا وجهان: قيل: منسوب إلى المدعة وهي النارجيل المفرغ من لبه، كأنه فارغ مما يدعيه، خال منه، فتكون الميم أصلية أو من الدعوة في النسب على لغة من يقول دعيت، في موضع دعوت فتكون الميم زائدة.

Al-Saghani said: Here there are two aspects: it is said: attributed to Al-Mid'ah, which is the hollowed coconut shell, as if it is empty of what it claims, devoid of it, so the Meem is original, or from 'Al-Da'wah' in lineage according to the dialect of one who says 'Du'eetu' (I was invited/claimed) in place of 'Da'awtu' (I invited/claimed), so the Meem is extra.

ميدوع: فرس عبد الحارث بن ضرار الضبي، استدركه صاحب اللسان، ولم يزد على هذا.

Maydu': the horse of 'Abd Al-Harith ibn Dirar Al-Dabbi, the author of Al-Lisan added it, and did not add more than this.

And it has preceded in 'Bada'a' that the name of this horse is 'Mabdu'', and it will also come in 'A'da'a'.
