And hence, he (God) drew him near to destruction little by little; he brought him near to punishment by degrees, by giving him respite, continued health, and increasing favour.

He (God) took him, a man, so that he did not reckon upon it, [as though by degrees,] bestowing on him enjoyments in which he delighted and on which he relied, and with which he became so familiar that he was not mindful of death, and then taking him in his most heedless state: such is said to be the meaning in the Qurʾān 7:181 and 68:44.

Or he bestowed on him new favours as often as he committed new wrong actions, and made him forget to ask for forgiveness [thus leading him by degrees to ruin].

Or he took him little by little, [or by degrees,] not suddenly.

And he, or it, called for, demanded, or required, his destruction: from دَرَجَ “he died.”

Core sense — a rolled-up rag put into a she-camel's vulva; a woman's menstrual raggenerated

1

A thing which is rolled up and inserted into a she-camel's vulva, and then taken out, so that she smells it and, thinking it her own young one, inclines to it and yields her milk.

Aboo-Ziyād El-Kilābee: a thing consisting of rags, or of tow and rags and other things, which is rolled up and stuffed into a she-camel's vulva and into her tuel, and bound, when they want her to take to the young one of another, her nose and her eyes having first been bound.

They leave her like this, with her eyes and nose bound, for some days, and she suffers distress like that of labour; then they loosen the bandage from her, and this thing comes out of her, and she thinks it a young one; when she has dropped it, they unbind her eyes, having a young camel ready, which they bring near her, and she thinks it her own young one and inclines to it.

Or with the thing that comes out of her they smear the young one of another she-camel, and she thinks it her own young one and inclines to it.

The thing thus rolled up is called دُرْجَةٌ and جَزْمٌ and وَثِيقَةٌ; the thing her eyes are bound with, غِمَامَةٌ; and the thing her nose is bound with, صِقَاعٌ. The plural of multitude is دُرَجٌ, and of paucity أَدْرَاجٌ.

Or it means [or also means] a piece of rag containing medicine, which is put into a she-camel's vulva when she has a complaint there; plural دُرَجٌ.

Occurring in a tradition of ʿĀïsheh; the word used in it is درجة.

But according to one reading it is دِرَجَة, plural of دُرْجٌ [explained above], meaning a thing like a small سَفَط in which a woman puts her light articles and her perfumes. El-Bājee read دَرَجَة, which seems to be a mistake.
