استجرحX He deserved that his claim to be legally credible should be annulled. And It deserved to be rejected [as unworthy of credit or regard]. اِسْتَجْرَحَتْ هٰذِهِ الأَحَادِيثُ means These traditions deserved to be rejected on account of their great number and the fewness of such as were true: or, by reason of their great number, obliged those who were acquainted with them to annul the claim of some one or other of their relaters to be credited, and to reject his relation: or were corrupt: [for] اِسْتِجْرَاحٌ signifies [also] the being faulty, defective, and corrupt. One says, قَدْ وَعَظْتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تَزْدَادُوا إِلَّا ٱسْتِجْرَاحًا: these words are from a خُطْبَة of ‘AbdEl-Melik; and the meaning is, [I have admonished you and ye have not increased save] in corrupt conduct: or in what gaineth for you censure.
