مُصِحٌّ

Root: صح

Full Definition

مُصِحٌّ A man having his family and his cattle in a healthy, or sound, state; whether he himself be in health or sick: or having his cattle in a healthy, or sound, state, after their having been affected by a plague, or murrain, or distemper: pl. مُصِحُّونَ. It is said in a trad., لَا يُورِدَنَّ ذُو عَاهَةٍ عَلَى مُصِحٍّ i. e. One whose camels are affected by a murrain, or distemper, shall by no means bring them to water immediately after one whose camels are in a healthy, or sound, state, so as to water the former beasts with the latter: a prohibition apparently given for fear that the latter beasts should become diseased like the former, and it should be supposed that the disease had passed by contagion, which ought not to be imagined. (L. [See also مُمْرِضٌ.])
