If food is offered to you while you are in no need of it, meaning the common saying: 'Arḍ sābirī: meaning not exaggerated, because the 'ālah (burdened person) is not offered a drink with exaggeration, like offering to the thirsty, as narrated by Al-Jawhari.

وأعللت الإبل إذا أصدرتها قبل ربها، كذا نص الصحاح، وروى أبو عبيد عن الأصمعي: أعللت الإبل فهي عالة: إذا أصدرتها ولم تروها، أو هي بالغين ونسبه الجوهري إلى بعض أئمة الاشتقاق، قال: وكأنه من الغلة، وهو العطش، وقال: والأول هو المسموع، وروى الأزهري عن نصير الرازي قال: صدرت الإبل غالة وغوال، وقد أغللتها، من الغلة والغليل، وهو حرارة العطش، وأما أعللت الإبل، وعللتها، فهما ضدا أغللتها لأنه معناهما أن تسقيها الشربة الثانية ثم تصدرها رواء، وإذا علت فقد رويت.
