— or, as some relate it, عَلَىَّ (O, and thus, instead of إِلَىَّ, in one of my copies of the S) — meaning: I constrain them (the camels mentioned in a preceding verse) to bear the terror of the darkness, and I do not cease to be, like a night-traveller, journeyed to by night and journeying.

[In the S there is added, as though to point to another meaning, وَعَدَسَ لُغَةٌ فِى حَدَسَ, and in the O and K وَالعَدْسُ الحَدْسُ (in the O with أَيْضًا between these two maṣdars); but according to the TA the meaning intended by this is the going away into, or in, the country or land.]

Core sense — a cry by which one urges a mule; a mulegenerated

1

A cry by which one chides a mule, to urge him. Sometimes, by poetic licence, it is made declinable. The vulgar say عد [apparently عَدْ].

Hence it is sometimes used also as a name for the mule, just as the ass is sometimes called سَأْ سَأْ, which is originally a cry by which one chides an ass; and there are other instances of the same kind.

Qur’ānic occurrences عَدَس
2:61
وَإِذْ قُلْتُمْ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ لَن نَّصْبِرَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامٍ وَٰحِدٍ فَٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُخْرِجْ لَنَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنۢ بَقْلِهَا وَقِثَّآئِهَا وَفُومِهَا وَعَدَسِهَا وَبَصَلِهَا ۖ قَالَ أَتَسْتَبْدِلُونَ ٱلَّذِى هُوَ أَدْنَىٰ بِٱلَّذِى هُوَ خَيْرٌ ۚ ٱهْبِطُوا۟ مِصْرًا فَإِنَّ لَكُم مَّا سَأَلْتُمْ ۗ وَضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلذِّلَّةُ وَٱلْمَسْكَنَةُ وَبَآءُو بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ يَكْفُرُونَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَقْتُلُونَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوا۟ وَّكَانُوا۟ يَعْتَدُونَ

And remember ye said: "O Moses! we cannot endure one kind of food (always); so beseech thy Lord for us to produce for us of what the earth groweth, -its pot-herbs, and cucumbers, Its garlic, lentils, and onions." He said: "Will ye exchange the better for the worse? Go ye down to any town, and ye shall find what ye want!" They were covered with humiliation and misery; they drew on themselves the wrath of Allah. This because they went on rejecting the Signs of Allah and slaying His Messengers without just cause. This because they rebelled and went on transgressing.
