Nounرَوْضَةٌ3 senses · 1 main

Core sense — a meadow, a green watery tract of land; a garden; collected watergenerated

1figurative · مجازMore beautiful than an egg in a meadow, or garden—أَحْسَنُ مِنْ بَيْضَةٍ فِى رَوْضَةٍ

This word, and رِيضَةٌ and رِيِّضَةٌ, [seem to be best rendered, in general, A meadow; meaning, a verdant tract of land, somewhat watery; or (as in Johnson's dictionary) ground somewhat watery, not ploughed, but covered with grass and flowers: and sometimes, a garden: accord. to the following explanations:] green land; a place where water collects and the herbage becomes abundant, without trees; or fresh green herbage with water, or having water beside it, and not otherwise.

Aboo-Ziyád El-Kilábee: a tract of plain land producing [lote-trees of the kind called] سِدْر, which may be as extensive as Baghdád; and also, of herbs, or leguminous plants, and fresh green herbage: or this last only.

Or a tract of plain land in which are جَرَاثِيم [perhaps here meaning ants' nests, as these are generally found in soft soil,] and soft hillocks, in the low, or best and most productive, parts of a country, where water collects, at least a hundred cubits in extent: or a tract of sand, and of fresh green herbage, where water collects — so called because of the collecting of the water in it.

It is said that رَوْضَةٌ is mostly applied to a place where beasts pasture at pleasure. Some say that it means a land having waters and trees, and sweet, or pleasant, flowers; or a place that is pleasant with flowers, said to be so called because the waters that flow there rest there.

It is said in the 'Ináyeh that رَوْضٌ [perhaps a mistake for رَوْضَةٌ] means a garden, and in common usage one having rivers, or rivulets. MF says that rivers, or rivulets, do not necessarily belong to the meaning, but that having water does, though not in common usage.

Th: رَوْضَةٌ means a beautiful garden.

The plural of رَوْضَةٌ is رَوْضٌ [or rather this is a collective generic noun,] and رِيَاضٌ, originally رِوَاضٌ, and رِيضَانٌ, originally رِوْضَانٌ; or rather رِيضَانٌ is plural of رَوْضٌ; and رَوْضَاتٌ, in the dialect of Hudheyl رَوَضَاتٌ.

Az says that the رياض of the hard and stony and rugged tracts in the desert are low level places in which the rain-water collects, and which therefore produce various kinds of herbage that do not quickly dry up and wither; that sometimes a رَوْضَة contains thickets of wild سِدْر, and sometimes it is a mile in length and breadth; but such as are very wide are termed قِيعَان.

In your presence I am as though I were in a meadow, or garden—أَنَا عِنْدَكَ فِى رَوْضَةٍ
Your sitting-place is like a meadow, or garden, of the meadows, or gardens, of Paradise—مَجْلِسُكَ رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الجَنَّةِ

This is said in a proverb.

Mohammad is related to have said, “Between my grave, or between my house, and my pulpit is a رَوْضَة of the رِيَاض of Paradise”: meaning, according to Th, that he who abides in this place is as though he abode in a روضة of the رياض of Paradise.

[See another figurative meaning of رِيَاضُ الجَنَّةِ under رَتَعَ, last sentence.]

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredany water collecting in pools left by torrents, or in places that catch and hold rain-water—رَوْضَةٌ

In the CK, الاَخّاذات and المُسّاكات are wrongly put for الإِخَاذَات and المَسَّاكَات.

1.2figurative · مجازabout half a فِرْبَة [or water-skin] of water—رَوْضٌ

The headword has this meaning too; and it also means as much water as covers the bottom of a watering-trough.

Qur’ānic occurrences رَوْضَة
30:15
فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ فَهُمْ فِى رَوْضَةٍ يُحْبَرُونَ
