Accord. to the K, one says, افرث الكَبِدَ, meaning He ripped the كبد [or liver], and threw away the فُرَاثَة, i. e., what was in it: but this is taken from two passages in the M and T, which the author of the K has confounded.
2 And [hence, app.,] افرث أَصْحَابَهُ He exposed his companions to the ruling power, or to the censure of men: or he pronounced them to be liars, in the presence of a people, or party, in order to lessen them in their estimation: or he exposed to reproach their secret: or he calumniated, or slandered, them. And افرث الرَّجُلَ He reviled, vilified, or vituperated, the man; charged him with a vice, fault, or the like; defamed him; or detracted from his reputation.
