[properly, a she-camel that eats the plant named above]آكِلَةُ الخَضِرِ

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.

جَاؤُوا بِضَيْحٍ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ الذِّئْبَ قَطْ

The meaning is that the milk was of an ash-colour, like the colour of the wolf, because of the great quantity of water.

Or, as some say, milk and water in the proportion of one third milk to two thirds water. It is of any milk, whether kept in a skin or fresh, and from any beast.

Some say the word is a plural, [or rather a collective generic noun,] and that the singular, or ism waḥda, is with ة.

1figurative · مجازa green, and fresh, or juicy, treeشَجَرَةٌ خَضْرَآءُ

[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.

such a one possesses abundant خَيْر [or wealth, or prosperity]فُلَانٌ أَخْضَرُ

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]

shāhid
وَأَنَا الأَخْضَرُ مَنْ يَعْرِفُنِىأَخْضَرُ الجِلْدَةِ فِى بَيْتِ العَرَبْ

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.

a young man whose hair has begun to grow on the sides of his faceشَابٌّ أَخْضَرُ
an army, or a troop of horse, overspread with the blackness of ironكَتِيبَةٌ خَضْرَآءُ

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.

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.

there is no poor-rate on green herbs, or leguminous plantsلَيْسَ فِى الخَضْرَاوَاتِ صَدَقَةٌ

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.

avoid the beautiful woman who is of bad originإِيَّاكُمْ وَخَضْرَآءُ الدِّمَنِ

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.

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.]
