5 Nuheyk El-Fezáree says, addressing 'Ámir Ibn-Et-Tufeyl, لَتَقَيْتَ بِالوَجْعَآءِ طَعْنَةَ مُرْهَفٍ حَرَّانَ أَوْ لَثَوَيْتَ غَيْرَ Thou wouldst have avoided, by turning thy hinder part, the thrust [of a thin, thirsty weapon], or thou wouldst have taken thy restingplace not honoured, or not shrouded, or not pillowed: غير محسّب being variously rendered: one person prefers the meaning not buried: Az says that the signification of burial in stones and that of wrapping in grave-clothes, assigned to the verb, were unknown to him; and that غير محسّب signifies not supported with a pillow.
