2 [Hence,] كَلِمَةٌ سَالِمَةُ العَيْنَيْنِ
def.2 The saying of J [in the S], in which he has followed his maternal uncle El-Fárábee, that it signifies The portion of skin between the eye and the nose, is a mistake; and his citation, as an authority, of the verse of 'AbdAllah Ibn-'Omar in which he says,
is futile: for, as IB says, Sálim was the son of Ibn-'Omar, who, by reason of his love of him, thus makes him to be as the skin between his eyes and his nose: or, as MF says, the truth is, that the said verse is by Zuheyr, and Ibn-'Omar used it as a proverb: and [SM says], if this be correct, it strengthens the saying of J.وَجِلْدَةُ بَيْنَ العَيْنِ وَالأَنْفِ سَالِمُ
