Al-Jarmi narrated it as 'yadi lakum' with a silent ya, and 'al-'adiyat' is in the genitive case due to the preposition waw of an oath.

وأكثر استعماله في الإبل والغنم وقال الليث: الحبق: ضراط المعز وقد حبق يحبق حبقا بالفتح وحبقا، ككتف، وغراب لفظ الاسم، ولفظ المصدر فيه سواء، وقد يستعمل في الناس، وأفعال الضرط كثيرا ما تجئ متعدية بحرف، كقولهم: عفق بها، وحطأ بها، ونفخ بها: إذا ضرط، وفي حديث المنكر الذي كانوا يأتونه في ناديهم: كانوا يحبقون فيه.

It may be used for humans, and the verbs of farting often take a preposition, like their saying: 'afaq biha', 'hata' biha', and 'nafakha biha': if he farted. And in the hadith about the indecency they used to commit in their gatherings: 'They used to fart in it'.

والحبقة: الضرطة وقال ابن دريد: الضريطة الخفيفة، قال: وأخبرنا أبو حاتم عن أبي عبيدة قال: لما قتل عثمان رضي الله عنه قال عدي ابن حاتم رضي الله عنه: لا تحبق فيه عنز فأصيبت عينه يوم صفين، وقتل ابنه طريف، فدخل على معاوية بعد قتل علي رضي الله عنهما، فقال: هل حبقت العنز في قتل عثمان.

والحباق ككتاب، أو غراب وعلى الأولى اقتصر ابن دريد: أبو بطن من تميم وهو لقب له، قال أبو العرندس العوذي، من بنى عوذ بن سود:

And Al-Hubbaq like 'kitab', or 'ghurab'. Ibn Duraid limited it to the first form: is a progenitor of a branch of Tamim, and it is a nickname for him. Abu al-'Arandas al-'Awadhi, from Banu 'Awadh bin Sawd, said:

ينادي الحباق وحمانها ... وقد شيطوا رأسه فالتهب

He calls out to Al-Hubbaq and his enclosures... and they have scorched his head, so it ignited.

وسلمة بن المحبق، كمحدث: صحابي رضي الله عنه، شهد حنينا، وفتح المدائن، قال أبو أحمد العسكري في كتاب التصحيف: المحبق، بكسر الباء، وأصحاب الحديث يصحفون ويفتحون الباء، وقال البخاري في التاريخ الكبير: قال لي روح بن عبد المؤمن: اسم المحبق صخر بن عتبة بن الحارث بن حصين ابن الحارث بن عبد العزيز بن دابغة ابن لحيان بن هذيل، وفي التكملة: صخر بن عبيد.

And Salamah ibn al-Muhabbiq, like 'muhaddith': is a companion (Sahabi), may Allah be pleased with him. He witnessed Hunayn and the conquest of Madain. Abu Ahmad al-'Askari said in Kitab al-Tasheef: Al-Muhabbiq, with kasrah on the ba. And the hadith scholars misspell it and use fatha on the ba. Al-Bukhari said in Al-Tarikh al-Kabir: Ruh ibn Abd al-Mu'min told me: The name of Al-Muhabbiq is Sakhr ibn Utbah ibn al-Harith ibn Husayn ibn al-Harith ibn Abd al-Aziz ibn Dabighah ibn Lihyan ibn Hudhayl. And in Al-Takmilah: Sakhr ibn Ubayd.
