طُعْمُهُ, meaning [Such a one,] his eating [was, or became, little]. The saying in the Kur [ii. 250], وَمَنْ لَمْ يَطْعَمْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّى means But whoso does not taste it, he is of my followers, or is at one, or in union, with me: or, accord. to Zj, the meaning is, لَمْ بِهِ [app. meaning does not refresh himself with it as though with food]: or, as some say, the passage in which it occurs denotes a prohibition to take aught save as much as is laded out with the hand; and when water has with it something that is chewed, one says of it يُطْعَمُ. تَطْعَمْ i. e. Taste thou, then thou wilt have desire, or appetence, or so that thou mayest have desire, or appetence, and mayest eat; or taste thou the food, for it will induce thee to eat it; is a prov., said to him who refrains from an affair; meaning, commence it, for thy doing so will invite thee to finish it.
