According to Sh.

This phrase, if correct.

According to ISd; so in the TA, but according to the JK هَشَاهِشُ.

1.3he beat the leaves with a staff, or stick, so that they might fallهَشَّ الوَرَقَ

. Also هَشْهَشَهُ in the same sense.

[And I beat the leaves with it in order that they may fall upon my sheep, or goats]وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَى غَنَمِى

In the Qur'ān 20:19. Or, according to Fr, and so says As: and I beat the dry trees with it so that their leaves may fall for my sheep, or goats, to feed on.

Lth says that الهَشُّ means drawing a branch of a tree towards yourself; and also scattering its leaves towards yourself with a staff, or stick. But Az says the correct explanation is the one given by Fr and As, not the first of the two given by Lth.

he (a man) assaulted with his staff, or stickهَشَّ

[The verb also seems to have a similar application in a more extended sense.]; synonym صَالَ.
