Full Definition

تضافّواVI They multiplied, or became numerous, and collected themselves together, [and, accord. to an explanation of the part. n., by Lh, pushed, pressed, crowded, or thronged, together,] upon it, or at it; namely water, &c.; like تصافّوا.
2 And تضافوا signifies also, accord. to the O and K, خَفَّتْ أَحْوَالُهُمْ; but correctly, as in the “ Nawádir ” of AZ, أَمْوَالُهُمْ [i. e. Their possessions became scanty].
