[222] Gabriel, who accompanied the Prophet. [223] The beast on which he rode from Mekkeh to Jerusalem previously to his ascension. These traditions are from Es-Suyooṭee, _ubi suprà_. [224] This flower is called "fághiyeh," and, more commonly, "temer el-ḥennè;" or, according to some, the fághiyeh is the flower produced by a slip of temer el-ḥennè planted upside down, and superior to the flower of the latter planted in the natural way. [225] Es-Suyooṭee, _ubi suprà_. [226] "Benefsej." [227] Es-Suyootee. [228] "Ás," or "narseen." [229] Es-Suyooṭee. [230] "Shaḳáïḳ." The "adhriyoon," or "ádharyoon," is said to be a variety of the anemone. [231] From the former, or from "noạmán" as signifying "blood," the anemone was named "shaḳáïḳ en-noạmán." [232] "Menthoor," or "kheeree." [233] Ḥalbet el-Kumeyt, ch. xvii. [234] "Narjis." [235] Ḥalbet el-Kumeyt, _ubi suprà_; Es-Suyooṭee, _ubi suprà_; and El-Ḳazweenee. [236] The Arabic names of these flowers are, yásemeen, nisreen, zahr (or zahr nárinj), soosan, reeḥán (or ḥabaḳ), nemám, bahár, uḳ-howán, neelófar, beshneen, jullanár or julnár, khashkhásh, khiṭmee, zaạfarán, 'oṣfur, kettán, báḳillà and lebláb, and lóz. [237] "Bán," and "khiláf" or "khaláf." Both these names are applied to the same tree (which, according to Forskal, differs slightly from the salix Ægyptiaca of Linnæus) by the author of the Ḥalbet el-Kumeyt, and by the modern Egyptians. [238] Ḥalbet el-Kumeyt, ch. xiv. [239] Idem, ch. xi. [240] Mishkát el-Maṣábeeḥ, vol. ii. p. 425. [241] Ḥalbet el-Kumeyt, ch. xiv. [242] Soft boots, worn inside the slippers or shoes. [243] This is so vaguely described by the Arab lexicographers that I cannot obtain a definite notion of its form. [244] Ḥalbet el-Kumeyt, _loco laudato_. [245] Ḥalbet el-Kumeyt, ch. xiv. [246] He was born in the year of the Flight 125, and died in 213, or, according to some, 188.--Abulfedæ Annales, vol. ii. pp. 150 and 675. [247] He was born in the year of the Flight 150, and died in 235.--Idem, adnot., pp. 691 et seq.; and Mir-át ez-Zemán, events of the year 235. [248] Mir-át ez-Zemán, events of the year 231. He died in this year. [249] I believe this Khaleefeh was El-Ma-moon. [250] A quarter in Baghdád. [251] That is, "My master."--ED. [252] Ḥalbet el-Kumeyt, ch. vii.
