رادفتIII
The beast allowed a
رَدِيف [to ride it], and was strong enough to bear him; as also
[accord. to some]. You say, هَذِهِ دَابَّةٌ لَا تُرَادِفُ and
لَا , but the latter is rare, or post-classical, of the language of the people of towns and villages, and not allowable, This beast will not allow a
رَدِيف to ride it; will not bear a
رديف.
2 مُرَادَفَةُ الجَرَادِ signifies The mounting of [locusts one behind, or upon, another;] the male locust upon the female, and the third upon those two.
3 And مُرَادَفَةُ المُلُوكِ is [a phrase meaning The acting as a رِدْف, or as أَرْدَاف, to the kings,] from الرِّدَافَةُ [q. v.]. Jereer, who was of the Benoo-Yarbooa, to whom pertained the رِدَافَة in the Time of Ignorance, says,
4 [In the conventional language of lexicology, رادفهُ, Verbal.Noun مُرَادَفَةٌ, signifies It was synonymous with it; i. e. a word with another word: as though the former supplied the place of the latter, like as the رِدْف supplied the place of the king. See also 6.]

[We have taken the fourth part of the spoils, and we have acted as أَرْدَاف to the kings; therefore shade ye the skins of the camel-loads of milk collected from the camels in the pasture with panic grass plucked up, and so make it cool for us]: وِطَاب is the pl. of the وَطْب of milk.رَبَعْنَا وَرَادَفْنَا المُلُوكَ فَظَلِّلُوا وطَابَ الأَحَالِيبِ الثُّمَامَ المُنَزَّعَا
