Root: ساذج
Full Definition
سَاذَجٌ
and سَاذِجٌ arabicized from [the Pers.] سَادَهْ: (O, K: [in some copies of the K سَاذَهْ:]) this is the only explanation in some of the copies of the K: Plain; i. e. without variegation, decoration, embellishment, or engraved or sculptured work: or without any hair upon it: or of one unmixed colour: this last is [said to be] the correct meaning [in many instances]; but the sheykh Welee-ed-Deen El-'Irákee says, in the Expos. of the “ Sunan ” of Aboo-Dáwood, respecting a pair of boots of the Prophet, described as خُفَّانِ أَسْوَدَانِ سَاذَجَانِ or سَاذِجَانِ, that this phrase seems to mean A pair of black boots of one unmixed colour; the last word being used in this sense in the common conventional language; though he had not found it with this meaning in the lexicons, nor in the books of authors on the strange words occurring in traditions.
2 Also Free from self-constraint: and one who knows not badness, wickedness, deceit, or guile; in whom is no latent rancour, malevolence, malice, or spite, nor cunning: or free in intellect; and easy [or simple or artless] in nature or disposition. (TA in art. سدج.)
3 حُجَّةٌ سَاذَجَةٌ, also written سَاذِجَةٌ, is used by authors on the scholastic theology of the Muslims as meaning An argument, a plea, an allegation, an evidence, or a testimony, that is undecisive: and sometimes the same epithet is used [in like manner] in other cases.
def.2 In some copies of the K, it is said to be [the name of] Certain roots and shoots, that grow in waters, useful for such and such things; arabicized from ساذه [or سَادَهْ]: or certain leaves and shoots, used as a medicine, having a flower; one sort thereof called رُومِىٌّ; and another, هِنْدِىٌّ; [the latter name, i. e. سَاذَجٌ هِنْدِىٌّ, as well as سَاذَجٌ alone, applied in the present day to malabathrum, or Indian spikenard;] growing in waters that collect and stagnate in black muddy lands, standing up on the surface of the water, like the plant called عَدَسُ المَآءِ, without attachment to a root; beneficial for swellings of the eye.
