2 And He gave him a small thing: or he gave him little: (S in art. جل:) or he gave him a sheep, or goat; or sheep, or goats. You say, أَتَيْتُهُ فَمَا أَدَقَّنِى وَلَا أَجَلَّنِى I came to him, and he gave me not a small thing, nor gave he me a great thing: or he gave me not little, nor gave he me much: (S in art. جل:) or he gave me not a sheep, or goat, nor gave he me a camel.

def.2 And ادقّ He pursued little, paltry, or mean, things.
