[A cause of coveting, or desiring vehemently &c.;] a thing on account of which one covets, &c. En-Nábighah EdhDhubyánee says,
[And despair of what has become beyond reach occasions, as its result, rest: and assuredly many a cause of coveting is, in its result, a disease in the fauces, or a poisonous plant].وَاليَأْسُ مِمَّا فَاتَ يُعْقِبُ رَاحَةً وَلَرُبَّ مَطْمَعَةٍ تَعُودُ ذُبَاحَا
