أَدْفَوَIV
see 1.
def.2 It is related in a trad. that a captive was brought to the Prophet, shivering by reason of cold, and he said to some persons, اِذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَأَدْفُوهُ, meaning [Take ye him away and] clothe him so as to protect him from the cold; for أَدْفِئُوهُ; because the pronunciation of ء was not of the dial. of Kureysh; but they thought that he meant slaughter; and they took him away and slew him: therefore he paid the fine for his blood. As is said in the K, أَدْفَيْتُ is a dial. var. of أَدْفَأْتُ.
def.3 ادفى said of a gazelle, His horns were, or became, so long as almost to reach his hinder part. [See also دَفِىَ.]
