Full Definition
مُفْرَحٌ
A man burdened, or burdened heavily, or overburdened, by debt, or by a fine, or the like, and unable to pay it: or needy, or in want; overcome; and poor: or poor, possessing no property: one who is not known to have any kinsfolk or near relations; but in a trad. in which it occurs in this sense as related by some, it is, as others relate the trad., with ج; and so in the sense next following: and a slain person found between two towns or villages. In the trad. in which it is said لاَ يُتْرَكُ فِى الإِسْلَامِ مُفْرَحٌ it has the first of the significations mentioned above accord. to A'Obeyd [i. e. the saying means One who is burdened, or burdened heavily, or overburdened, by debt, &c., shall not be left unbefriended among the Muslims]. And in the writing that the Apostle of God wrote [as a covenant] between the Muhájirs and the Ansár were the words, لاَيَتْرُكُوا مُفْرَحاً حَتَّى يُعِينُوهُ عَلَى مَا كَانَ
مِنْ عَقْلٍ أَوْ فِدَآءٍ, in which مُفْرَحاً means مَفْدُوحاً, i. e. [They shall not leave] one who is burdened, or burdened heavily, or overburdened, by debt, [until they aid him to acquit himself of what has become incumbent on him, of a bloodwit or a ransom,] meaning that his debt shall be paid for him from the treasury of the state: so says As; and he disallowed the saying [in this case] مُفْرَجٌ, [q. v.,] with ج.
