shāhid
يَنْفَعُ الطَّيِّبُ القَلِيلُ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ وَلَا يَنْفَعُ الكَثِيرُ الخَبِيتُ

Kh asked As about الخبيت in this verse, and As replied that the poet meant الخَبِيث, the former word belonging to the dialect of Kheyber. Kh answered: “If that were so, the poet would have said الكتير; you should only say that the people of Kheyber change ث into ت in some words.”
