Full Definition
أَبَادِيدُ
, and
تَبَادِيدُ , [in the CK نَبادِيدُ,] erroneously written by J
يَبَادِيدُ , [but see what follows; like أَنَادِيدُ and يَنَادِيدُ;] Birds in a state of dispersion. In the following verse of 'Otárid Ibn-Kurrán, quoted by J,
2 ذَهَبُوا أَبَادِيدُ, and تَبَادِيدُ , or يَبَادِيدُ , [as also أَنَادِيدُ, and يَنَادِيدُ, or تَنَادِيدُ,] They went away in a state of dispersion.
[As though the people of Hajr, watching when they should see me going forth, were birds in a state of dispersion], thus related also by Yaakoob, and thus in the handwriting of Az, the last two words should be طَيْرُ اليَنَادِيدِ, the latter with ن, and governed by the former in the gen. case, the rhyme being with kesr: so says Aboo-Sahl El-Harawee.كَأَنَّمَا أَهُلُ حَجْرٍ يَنْظُرُونَ مَتَى يَرَوْنَنِى خَارِجًا طَيْرٌ يَبَادِيدُ
2 ذَهَبُوا أَبَادِيدُ, and تَبَادِيدُ , or يَبَادِيدُ , [as also أَنَادِيدُ, and يَنَادِيدُ, or تَنَادِيدُ,] They went away in a state of dispersion.
