Full Definition
صَحَفِىٌّ
One who makes mistakes in reading the
صَحِيفَة [or writing, or written piece of paper or of skin]; incorrectly termed by the vulgar صُحُفِىٌّ, with two dammehs; [for the formation of a rel. n. from a pl. of this kind (i. e. from صُحُفٌ) is not allowable,] though the pl. is not restored to the sing. in forming the rel. n. in the case of proper names, such as أَنْمَارِىٌّ &c., nor in the case of words that are used in a manner like that of proper names, such as أَنْصَارِىٌ &c.: or a learner, or one who acquires knowledge, from the
صَحِيفَة, inferior [in rank] to the
مَشَايِخِ [pl. of شَيْخٌ]: a rel. n. from صَحِيفَةٌ; like حَنَفِىٌّ and بَجَلِىٌّ from حَنِيفَةُ and بَجِيلَةُ: and
مُصَحِّفٌ signifies the same as صَحَفِىٌّ [in the former of these senses].
