This action is forbidden in prayer. [But it is said that] this is the contracting of the fingers to the inner side of the hand and making a sound with the outer side [apparently by pressing the fist upon the ground so as to make the finger-joints crack, when rising; for I think that any action more irregular than this would be too obviously wrong to need prohibition].

Nounفَقْعٌ5 senses · 3 main

Core sense — a species of truffles; intense whiteness; the pointed toes of bootsgenerated

1

A maṣdar of فَقَعَ, used as a substantive: intense whiteness.

But it seems to mean more commonly intense yellowness, or yellowness free from admixture: see the first sense of form 1.

2

The same as حُصَاصٌ, apparently meaning an emission of wind from the anus, with a sound. See form 1, second-to-last sense.

3a species of truffles—فِقْعٌ

This second form is mentioned by ISk. The word denotes a species of كَمْأَة [or truffles].

According to A 'Obeyd, the white and soft kind, which is the worst of them; or, as IAth says, a species of the worst kind of كمأة.

According to AHn, it comes out of the ground so as to appear, white, and is bad; the good kind is the one taken out by digging. Lth says it is a كَمْء [or truffle] that comes out from the base of the plant called إِجْرِد [q. v.], and is the worst of كمأة and the quickest to become corrupt.

The plural is فِقَعَةٌ, which belongs to both forms of the singular; and فَقْعٌ, with fetḥ, has the plurals أُفْقُعٌ [a plural of paucity] and فُقُوعٌ [a plural of multitude].

A vile man is likened to it: one says هُوَ أَذَلُّ مِنْ فَقْعِ قَرْقَرٍ or مِنْ فَقْعٍ بقَرْقَرَةٍ [He is more vile than the فقع of, or than فقع in, a low and soft tract of ground], because the beasts kick it along, or because it offers no resistance to the one who gathers it, or because it is trodden underfoot.

3.1

From a mention of the plural فَقُوعٌ in the article ذأن and in the present article, it appears that فَقْعٌ is also applied to the species of fungus called ذُؤْنُون and to the species called طُرْثُوث, and so on.

In other copies of the K the word is فُقَاع or فُقَاعٌ, and in all the copies بالضَّمِّ كَرُبَاع or كَرُبَاعٍ is added [but there is no such word as رُبَاعٍ, nor رُباعٌ, so it seems to be meant that we should read كَرُبَاعَ, that is, فُقَاعُ, like رُباعُ, imperfectly declinable; but see what follows]. So says Ibn-Buzurj.

Or, according to AZ, فقاعٍ, like رُبَاعٍ, that is, with fetḥ, like ثَمَانٍ. [This suggests that كَرُبَاعٍ may be an early mistranscription for كَربَاعٍ, and that فُقَاع is wrong and only فَقَاعٍ right, though it is said in one place that فَقَاع is like سَحَاب, that is, that it is فَقَاعٌ.]

Or it is فَقِيعٌ, like أَمِيرٌ, according to El-Jāḥidh, as mentioned by Az.

Applied to a man: red, intensely so, by reason of إِغْرَاب [that is, apparently, goodliness of condition].
