Full Definition

نَاشِدٌ [act. part. n. of نَشَدَ] in the following verse of Aboo-Du-ád, وَتُصِيخُ أَحْيَانًا كَمَا ٱسْ تَمَعَ المُضِلُّ لِصَوْتِ نَاشِدْ [And she listens sometimes like as he who has lost a beast gives ear to the voice of a ناشد], signifies a man making known, or giving information of, a stray-best: or, as some say, one seeking for, or after, a stray-beast; for he who has lost a beast desires to find one who, like himself, has lost one, that he may be consoled thereby. See art. صوخ.
2 نَاشِدُونَ Men who seek after straycamels, and take them, and confine them from their owners.
