Full Definition
مَأْبُورٌ
A dog that has had a needle given him, to eat, in bread: and, with ة, applied to a sheep or goat (شاة) that has eaten a needle in its fodder, and in whose inside it has stuck fast; in consequence of which the animal eats nothing, or, if it eat, the eating does it no good. It is said in a trad., المُؤْمِنُ كَٱلْكَلْبِ المَأْبُورِ
The believer is like the dog that has had a needle given to him, to eat, in bread. [Accord. to Ibr D, the meaning is, that he is generous and incautious, so that he is easily deceived.]
def.2 Also, and مُؤَبَّرٌ , A palm-tree fecundated: and the same, and seed-produce, dressed, or put into a good or right or proper state. The former is the meaning in the phrase سِكَّةٌ مَأْبُورَةٌ, occurring in a trad., [q. v. voce مَأْمُورٌ,] i. e. A row of palm-trees [or perhaps a tall palm-tree] fecundated: or, as some say, this phrase means a ploughshare properly prepared for ploughing.
