Parallel reading

يقال: هو بذي اللسان، وهي بذيته.

وقد بذو، ككرم، بذاء، كسحاب.

And he became foul-mouthed, like karuma (to be noble), with 'batha' (obscenity), like sahab (clouds).

أصله بذاءة، فحذفت الهاء لأن مصادر المضموم، إنما هي بالهاء مثل خطب خطابة وصلب صلابة، وقد تحذف مثل جمل جمالا، انتهى.

Its origin is 'batha'ah', and the 'haa' was omitted because the masdars of the 'dammah' form are typically with 'haa' like 'khataba khatabah' and 'salaba salabah', and it may be omitted like 'jamala jamalan'.

صوابه وبذاوة، بالواو، لأنه من بذو، وأما بذاءة بالهمزة فإنها مصدر بذؤ، بالهمز، وهما لغتان، وقد ذكر في الهمز.

The correct form is 'bathaawah', with a 'waw', because it is from 'bazua'. As for 'batha'ah' with hamza, it is the masdar of 'bazua' with hamza, and they are two dialects, and it has been mentioned under the hamza entry.

وبذوت عليهم وأبذيت عليهم؛ كما في الصحاح، قال: وأنشد الأصمعي لعمرو بن جميل الأسدي: مثل الشييخ المقذحر الباذي أوفى على رباوة يباذي

And I spoke obscenely to them and I spoke obscenely to them; as in Al-Sihah. Al-Asma'i narrated for Amr bin Jamil Al-Asadi: Like the weathered old man, the foul-mouthed one, who climbed upon a mound, engaging in obscenity.

وفي المصنف بذوت على القوم وأبذيتهم، من البذاء، كسحاب، وهو الكلام القبيح والفحش.

And in the compiler's work: 'I spoke obscenely to the people and I spoke obscenely to them', from 'al-batha', like 'sahab', which is ugly and obscene speech.

وكان في لسانها بعض البذاء.

And in her tongue was some obscenity.

وبذوة: اسم فرس؛ عن ابن الأعرابي؛ وأنشد: لا أسلم الدهر رأس بذوة أو تلقى رجال كأنها الخشب

And 'Badhwah': the name of a horse; from Ibn Al-A'rabi; and he recited: I will never be safe from the head of 'Badhwah' as long as time lasts, or you meet men as if they were wood.

إن الجياد على العلات متعبة فإن ظلمناك بذو اليوم فاظلم

Indeed, fine horses are tiring when pushed, so if we wrong you, 'Bazu' today, then wrong us.

والصواب: بذوة اسم فرس (لأبي سواج) الضبي، وغلط الجوهري فيه غلطتين وفي إنشاده البيت غلطتين

And the correct form is: 'Badhwah', the name of a horse (belonging to Abi Suwaj) Al-Dhubbi, and Al-Jawhari made two mistakes in it and two mistakes in his recitation of the verse.

أما الغلطتان الأوليان فإنه قال: بذو اسم فرس والصواب بذوة؛ وقال لأبي سراج، والصواب لأبي سواج ووقع في بعض النسخ سراج وهو غلط أيضا؛

As for the first two mistakes, he said: 'Bazu' is the name of a horse, and the correct form is 'Badhwah'; and he said 'Abi Siraj', and the correct form is 'Abi Suwaj', and in some copies it appears as 'Siraj', which is also a mistake.

وأما الغلطتان في إنشاد البيت فإنه قال: فإن ظلمناك، بفتح الكاف كما هو في سائر النسخ من الصحاح ووجد هكذا بخطه، والصواب بكسر الكاف، لأنه يخاطب فرسا أنثى، وقال: فاظلم والصواب فاظلمي بإثبات الياء في آخره.

As for the two mistakes in reciting the verse, he said: 'Fa in zalamnak' (if we wrong you), with a 'fatha' on the 'kaf' as it is in all other copies of Al-Sihah and found thus in his handwriting, and the correct form is with a 'kasra' on the 'kaf', because he is addressing a female horse, and he said: 'fa-zlim' and the correct form is 'fa-zlimi' with the 'yaa' at the end.

ورام شيخنا أن يتعقب المصنف فلم يفعل شيئا.

And our shaykh intended to refute the compiler but did not accomplish anything.

أبو سواج الضبي اسمه الأبيض، وقيل: عباد بن خلف أحد بني عبد مناة بن بكر بن سعد جاهلي، قال: سابق صرد بن جمرة بن شداد اليربوعي، وهو عم مالك ومتمم ابني نويرة اليربوعي، فسبق أبو سواج على فرس له تسمى بذوة، وفرس صرد يقال له القطيب، فقال أبو سواج في ذلك:

Abu Suwaj Al-Dhubbi, his name is Al-Abyad, and it was said: 'Abbad bin Khalaf, one of the Banu Abd Manah bin Bakr bin Sa'd, a pre-Islamic poet. He raced Sarda bin Jamrah bin Shaddad Al-Yarbui, who is the uncle of Malik and Mutammim, the sons of Nuwayrah Al-Yarbui. Abu Suwaj overtook him on a horse named 'Badhwah', and Sarda's horse was called Al-Qutayb, so Abu Suwaj said about that:

ألم تر أن بذوة إذ جرينا وجد الجد منا والقطيباكأن قطيبهم يتلو عقابا على الصلعاء وازمة طلوب

Did you not see that when 'Badhwah' and I raced, we found strength from us and Al-Qutayb? As if their Al-Qutayb was following an eagle on the bald hill, with a leading rein.

فسرى الشر بينهما إلى أن احتال أبو سواج على صرد فسقاه مني عبده فانتفخ ومات؛

So enmity arose between them until Abu Suwaj tricked Sarda and his slave gave him to drink wine, so he swelled up and died.

تعيب الخمر وهي شراب كسرى ويشرب قومك العجب العجيبامني العبد عبد أبي سواج أحق من المدامة أن تعيبا

You find fault with wine, which is the drink of Kisra, and your people drink strange things. The wine from the slave of Abu Suwaj's slave is more worthy of being drunk than the wine you find fault with.

And from his descendants was Asim bin Abi Burdah, who was in charge of the police of Ray during the time of Abu Ja'far. He said: And there was a disagreement about 'Badhiyah', the freedwoman of Maymun. Yunus said, from Ibn Shihab: like 'Aliyah'. Abu Dawud in the Sunan, and the majority are on it being with a 'dammah' on the 'nun', a 'sukoon' on the 'dal', and a 'fatha' on the 'baa'; and Mu'ammar added a 'fatha' on the 'nun' as well.
