فَهْد [or lynx] in his stretching himself and his sleeping. or in his much sleeping, and stretching himself. And He slept, and was, or feigned himself, heedless of what was requisite, or necessary to be done. Hence the saying, of a woman describing her husband, as related in the story of Umm-Zara, إِنْ دَخَلَ فَهِدَ وَإِنْ خَرَجَ أَسِدَ وَلَا يَسْأَلُ عَمَّا عَهِدَ, i. e. If he come in and be with me in the tent, or house, he is gentle and quiet like the
فَهْد, which is described as sleeping much; and is, or feigns himself, heedless of the things that are amiss therein, and that I ought to put into a right, or proper, state; such is his generosity, and goodness of disposition; and if he go out, and see his enemy, he is like the lion [in boldness; and he will not ask respecting what he has ordered]. And one says, فَهِدْتَ عَنِّى, Verbal.Noun فَهَدٌ, Thou wast, or hast been, heedless, or negligent, of me.
