Full Definition

اضطمّVIII He drew, brought, or gathered, the thing to himself: the ط is substituted for ت because of the ض.
2 Hence, in a trad., اضطمّ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ [They drew near, or close, one to another]. And, in another trad., اضطمّ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ The people, or men, pushed, pressed, crowded, or thronged, together upon him.
3 And اضطمّ عَلَيْهِ It comprised it, or enclosed it. You say, اِضْطَمَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الضُّلُوعُ The ribs comprised it, or enclosed it.
