Occurs in a tradition, applied to a man who acts justly and moderately with respect to worldly enjoyments.
For the خضر is not one of the slender, succulent herbs, as said above, nor one of those excellent plants which the spring brings up by its successive rains, and which so become goodly and soft or tender; it is one of those that beasts pasture upon after the others have dried up, because they find nothing else, and which the Arabs call جَنْبَة. The beasts do not eat much of it, nor do they find it wholesome.
It is He Who sendeth down rain from the skies: with it We produce vegetation of all kinds: from some We produce green (crops), out of which We produce grain, heaped up (at harvest); out of the date-palm and its sheaths (or spathes) (come) clusters of dates hanging low and near: and (then there are) gardens of grapes, and olives, and pomegranates, each similar (in kind) yet different (in variety): when they begin to bear fruit, feast your eyes with the fruit and the ripeness thereof. Behold! in these things there are signs for people who believe.

A 'Obeyd asserts that the Arabs loved these birds, and likened a liberal, or bountiful, man to them; but ISd says, on the authority of the 'Eyn, that they regarded them as of evil omen.
[Golius states, on the authority of Meyd, that the خضارىّ is a bird of a blackish colour, called in Persian كَرايَهْ. See Bochart's Hieroz. p. 2, col. 61; referred to by Freytag.]

Core sense — green, verdant; of a dark, ashy dust-colour; blackgenerated
[Green; verdant;] of the colour termed خُضَّارَى; as also خَضِرٌ, خَضِيرٌ, خَضُورٌ, يَخْضُورٌ and يَخْضِيرٌ (the last two written in the CK تَخْضُورٌ and تَخْضِيرٌ).
Applied to a horse, [and to a camel, and to an ass, and sometimes to a bird, and to a garment of the kind called كِسَآء and the like, and to various other things: of a dark, or an ashy, dust-colour; or dingy ash-colour; or dark dust-colour;] of a dust-colour mixed with دُهْمَة [i.e. blackness or deep ash-colour], which is the same as دَيْزَجٌ; in horses it is distinguished as أَخْضَرُ أَدْغَمُ, أَخْضَرُ أَطْحَلُ and أَخْضَرُ أَوْرَقُ. [See the latter adjective in each of these cases.]
Applied to a man, [and to other things,] tawny, or brownish: [and blackish: and of a blackish hue inclining to green:] and black; black-complexioned.
[And intensely black. It is said in the Msb, art. حتم, that الأَخْضَرُ is, with the Arabs, أَسْوَدُ, which may mean either that green is, with the Arabs, termed اسود, or that الاخضر is, with the Arabs, black; but the truth is that each of the adjectives أَخْضَرُ and أَسْوَدُ is sometimes used for the other: see what follows, and see أَسْوَدُ.]
[In Har p. 495 it is wrongly said, on the authority of Er-Rázee, that the اسود is not called by the Arabs اخضر, although the اخضر is called by them اسود because of its intense خُضْرَة and رِىّ.]
The feminine is خَضْرَآءُ and the plural is خُضْرٌ.
Because the complexions of the Arabs are tawny; so, of genuine Arab race. As in the saying of El-Lahabee, El-Fadl Ibn-'Abbás: [And I am the tawny: who knows me? the tawny of skin (or pure of race), of the family that comprises the nobility of the Arabs]
Meaning: such a one is the son of a black woman; or one who is slapped on the back of his neck; or a freedman, or an emancipated slave.
Because his belly, being stuck close to his loom, becomes blackened by it.
So called because he eats herbs, or leguminous plants.
[Or it may mean goodness: for] الأَخْضَرُ, applied to a man, is an adjective of praise, by which he may be likened to the sea, because the sea is described as green, or to the [rain or herbage called] رَبِيع — in both cases meaning liberal, or bountiful; and it is so applied because خُضْرَةٌ is one of the colours of the Arabs. It is also an adjective of dispraise, meaning black by reason of baseness, ignobleness, or meanness.
Or a great army or troop of horse of which most of the men are clad in iron; like جَأْوَآءُ, because of the خُضْرَة of the iron, that is, because of its blackness.
Occurs in the Qur'ān 55:64, of two gardens of Paradise, and is explained by خَضْرَاوَانِ.
الأَخْضَرُ used as a noun: see خُضَارَةٌ.
This is the feminine, [also used as a noun.]
Also خُضَارَةٌ; plural خَضْرَاوَاتٌ. By rule it should be خُضْرٌ, but as the quality of a noun predominates in it, it has a plural like the plural of a noun, like صَحْرَاوَاتٌ, plural of صَحْرَآءٌ.
Or on fresh fruits and herbs or leguminous plants; or on fruits such as the apple and the pear; or on herbs or leguminous plants such as leeks, smallage, rue and the like. This plural occurs in this saying, and خُضَرٌ, plural of خُضْرَةٌ, is sometimes put in its place.
Because what grows in a دِمْنَة [or place which men have blackened by their cooking, and where their camels or other beasts have staled and dunged], though it may be beautiful and bright, bears no fruit [because it is neglected, and left unwatered], and soon becomes corrupt, or bad. [See also دِمْنَةٌ, and see عُشْبَةٌ الدَّارِ in art. عشب.]
An adjective in which the quality of a noun predominates; so called because of its greenness, just as the earth is called الغَبْرَآءُ.
And: the congregated or collective body, and the mass, or bulk, of a people.
Or this means their stock from which they have branched off, [since] خَضْرَآءُ means the origin of anything; or their life in this present world; or, as some say, their enjoyment and plenty, [since] خَضْرَآءُ means prosperity, plenty and enjoyment.
Or the right reading is غَضْرَآءَهُمْ, meaning “their prosperity, and their pleasantness of life, or plenty and prosperity.” [See art. غضر.]
البَقْلَةُ الخَضْرَآءُ: see خَضِرٌ.
Also الخَضْرَآءُ. They are so called, though of various colours, because their predominant colour is وُرْقَة [or ash-colour], or خُضْرَة [a dark, or an ashy, dust-colour].
The خُضْر and the نُمْر [or those spotted with white and black, and the like,] are especially marked by the ability to find their way.
[A plural of الأَخْضَرُ used as a noun.]
Also الأَحَامِرَةُ, [as some explain that word.]
on this sense And: soft, or tender; applied to herbage, or seed-produce.
Most probably either a of Piscis Australis or of Pegasus, or some star or asterism nearly in line with those two.
It is one of the three أَنْوَآء of the rain called الخَرِيف: namely, the middle نَوْء of those three انوآء, the first being the نَسْرَانِ and the last the foremost of the فَرْغَانِ. See نَوْءٌ. (Abu Zeyd, in the T and TA, art. نوأ.)
"The same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! ye kindle therewith (your own fires)!
