Full Definition
عَبِيرٌ
A certain mixture of perfumes, compounded with saffron: or, with the Arabs of the Time of Ignorance, accord. to AO, it means saffron alone: but in a trad., mention is made of smearing with عبير or with saffron; and this shows عبير to be different from saffron: IAth says that it is a sort of perfume, having colour, compounded of certain mixtures. [See a verse cited voce ذَبِيحٌ; and another cited voce رَقْرَقَ.]
