Full Definition
مَغْفَلَةٌ
The عَنْفَقَة [or tuft of hair beneath the lower lip]; so says Th, or Ez-Zejjájee: not the two sides thereof as it is said to signify by J: so called because many men neglect [the washing of] it. It is said in a trad., عَلَيْكَ بِٱلْمَغْفَلَةِ [Keep thou to the washing of the tuft of hair beneath the lower lip]: meaning that one should use heedfulness in washing it, in the performance of the ablution termed وُضُوء.
