Full Definition

سَخِيمَةٌ and سُخْمَةٌ Rancour, malevolence, malice, or spite; and anger in the soul: pl. of the former سَخَائِمُ. [See two exs. in the first paragraph of art. سل.]
2 And the former, by a metonymy, is used as meaning Excrement, or dung: so in the trad., مَنْ سَكَّ سَخِيمَتَهُ فِى طَرِيقِ المُسْلِمِينَ لَعَنَهُ ٱللّٰهُ [Whoso voids his excrement in the road, or path, of the Muslims, him God curses].
