Nounكَنُودٌ3 senses · 1 main

Core sense — ungrateful, not acknowledging benefits; land that produces nothinggenerated

Ungrateful; one who does not acknowledge benefits. El-Kelbee: also كَنَّادٌ, or a denier.

The first is applied also to a woman; and so is كُنُدٌ: an unbeliever.

El-Hasan: one who blames his Lord, who takes account of misfortunes and forgets benefits.

Rebellious, or disobedient, in the dialect of Kindeh.

Niggardly, tenacious, avaricious, in the dialect of the Benoo-Málik.

One who eats alone, withholds his drinking-bowl, and beats his slave.

All these meanings are assigned to it in the Qur'ān, chapter 100, verse 6, إِنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ; but of the last ISd remarks that he knows no basis for it in the classical language, and that it is not easily acceptable when coupled with لربّه.

1.1

A woman ungrateful for friendship and for loving companionship; also كُنُدٌ.

1.2figurative · مجازland that produces nothing—أَرْضٌ كَنُودٌ
