Full Definition

راعىIII The ass pastured with the [other] asses: and in like manner one says of camels with wild animals.
2 راعت الأَرْضُ, a reading required by the context in the K, is wrong; the correct phrase being ارعت الأَرْضُ [q. v.].
3 See also 1, in the latter half of the paragraph, in eight places.
4 المُرَاعَاةُ is also syn. with المُنَاظَرَةُ [app. as meaning The looking towards, or facing, a person or thing: a signification nearly like the last referred to in the sentence here immediately preceding].
5 See also 4, in three places.
6 وَرِّعِ اللِّصَّ وَلَا تُرَاعِهِ, in a trad. of 'Omar, means Restrain thou the thief, or make him to refrain, from taking thy goods, but bear not witness against him: so says Lth: or the meaning is, and do not wait for him.
