Whence the saying,الدُّنْيَا خَضِرَةٌ↓ مَضِرَةٌ [in the Ṣ حُلْوَةٌ خَضِرَةٌ] The goods of this world are delicate, fresh, and pleasant: or pleasing. (TA.)

(TA.) Hence آكِلَةُ الخَضِرِ, occurring in a trad., [properly signifying A she-camel that eats the plant above mentioned,] applied to a man who acts justly and moderately with respect to worldly enjoyments: for the خضر is not of the slender and succulent herbs, as above observed, nor of those excellent plants which the spring produces by its consecutive rains, and which therefore become goodly and soft or tender; but of those upon which beasts pasture after others have dried up, because they find no others, and which the Arabs call جَنْبَة; and the beasts do not eat much of it, nor do they find it wholesome. (IAth, TA.)

* جَاؤُوا بِضَيْحٍ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ الذِّئْبَ قَطْ *

[They brought milk mixed with much water. Hast thou ever seen the wolf?]: meaning that the milk was of an ash-colour (أَوْرَق), like the colour of the wolf, by reason of the great quantity of the water: or, as some say, milk and water in the proportion of one third of the former to two thirds of the latter: it is of any milk, that has been kept in a skin or that is fresh, and from any beast: some say that the word is a pl., [or rather a coll. gen. n.,] and that the sing., or n. un., is with ة {خَضَارَةٌ}.

(Mṣb, TA.) You say شَجَرَةٌ خَضْرَآءُ A green, and fresh, or juicy, tree. (TA.) And مَآءٌ أَخْضَرُ Water inclining to a green colour, by reason of its clearness. (TA.) And أَخْضَرُ الجِلْدَةِ [lit.

* وَأَنَا الأَخْضَرُ مَنْ يَعْرِفُنِى *

* أَخْضَرُ الجِلْدَةِ فِى بَيْتِ العَرَبْ *

[And I am the tawny: who knows me? the tawny of skin (or pure of race), of the family that comprises the nobility of the Arabs]. (Ṣ, IB.) And فُلَانٌ أَخْضَرُ القَفَا [lit. Such a one is blackish, or black, in the back of the neck:] meaning ‡ such a one is the son of a black woman: (Az, A:) or ‡ one who is slapped on the back of his neck: (A:) or ‡ a freedman, or an emancipated slave.

And أَخْضَرُ النَّوَاجِذِ ‡ An eater of onions and leeks: or a tiller, or cultivator, of the ground; because he eats herbs, or leguminous plants. (A.) And هُمْ خُضْرُ المَنَاكِبِ [lit. They are green in the shoulders, from carrying the produce of their land:] meaning ‡ they are in a state of great plenty. (Ḳ, TA.) And [hence, perhaps,] فُلَانٌ أَخْضَرُ ‡ Such a one possesses abundant خَيْر [or wealth, or prosperity]: (A, TA:) [or it may mean goodness: for] الأَخْضَرُ, applied to a man, is an epithet of praise, whereby he may be likened to the sea, because it is described as green, or to the [rain or herbage called] رَبِيع; in both cases meaning † liberal, or bountiful; and it is so applied because خُضْرَةٌ is of the colours of the Arabs: and it is also an epithet of dispraise, as meaning † black by reason of baseness, ignobleness, or meanness. (Ḥam p. 282.) And شَابٌّ أَخْضَرُ ‡ A young man whose hair has begun to grow upon the sides of his face. (TA.) And كَتِيبَةٌ خَضْرَآءُ ‡ An army, or a troop of horse, overspread with the blackness of iron: (Ṣ, TA:) or a great army or troop of horse (Ḳ, TA) of which most of the men are clad in iron; like جَأْوَآءُ: (TA:) because of the خُضْرَة of the iron: (A:) [i. e.] because of the blackness thereof. (TA.) And اللَّيْلُ أَخْضَرُ ‡ Night is black. (TA.) And [hence,] جَنَّ عَلَيْهِ أَخْضَرُ الجَنَاحَيْنِ ‡ Night [lit. the black-winged] veiled him, concealed him, or covered him with its darkness. (A.) مُدْهَامَّتَانِ, in the Ḳur [lv. 64, relating to two gardens of Paradise], is explained by خَضْرَاوَانِ because it means Inclining to blackness, by reason of abundance of moisture, or irrigation. (Ṣ.)

الأَخْضَرُ used as a subst.: see خُضَارَةٌ.

(Mgh.) [Hence,] إِيَّاكُمْ وَخَضْرَآءُ الدِّمَنِ, meaning ‡ Avoid ye the beautiful woman that is of bad origin: (Ṣ, A, Mṣb:) because what grows in a دِمْنَة [or place which men have blackened by their cooking, and where their camels or other beasts have staled and dunged], though it may be beautiful and bright, does not bear fruit [because it is neglected, and left unwatered], (Ṣ, Mṣb,) and soon becomes corrupt, or bad. (Mṣb. [See also دِمْنَةٌ: and see عُشْبَةٌ الدَّارِ, in art. عشب.])

And الخَضْرَآءُ, as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. predominates, (TA,) ‡ The sky, or heaven; (Ṣ, A, Ḳ;) because of its greenness; like as the earth is called الغَبْرَآءُ. (TA.)

So in the saying, أَبَادَ ٱللّٰهُ خَضْرَآءَهُمْ † [May God destroy the congregated or collective body, mass, or bulk, of them]: (Ṣ:) or this means, ‡ their stock (شَجَرَة) from which they have branched off; (A;) [for] خَضْرَآءُ signifies the origin of anything: (TA:) or, their life in this present world: (Fr, TA:) or, as some say, their enjoyment and plenty; (TA;) [for] خَضْرَآءُ signifies prosperity, and plenty, and enjoyment: (TA in a later part of this art.:) or the right reading is غَضْرَآءَهُمْ, meaning “their prosperity, and their pleasantness of life, or plenty and prosperity.” (Ṣ. [See art. غضر.])

البَقْلَةُ الخَضْرَآءُ: see خَضِرٌ.

الخُضْرُ, (T,) or الخَضْرَآءُ, (Ḳ,) The domestic pigeons; (T, Ḳ;) so called although of various colours, because their predominant colour is وُرْقَة [or ash-colour], or خُضْرَة [meaning a dark, or an ashy, dust-colour]: the خُضْر and the نُمْر [or spotted with white and black, &c.,] are especially characterized by the faculty of rightly directing their course. (T, TA.)

الأَخَاصِرُ [a pl. of الأَخْضَرُ used as a subst.] ‡ Gold and flesh-meat and wine; as also الأَحَامِرَةُ [as some explain this latter]. (TA.)

أَخْضَرُ also signifies ‡ Fresh, or recent: so in the saying, الأَمْرُ بَيْنَنَا أَخْضَرُ ‡ [The affair between us is fresh, or recent]: and in like manner you say, المَوَدَّةُ بَيْنَنَا خَضْرَآءُ ‡ Love, or affection, between us is fresh. (A.) And Soft, or tender; applied to herbage, or seed-produce. (TA.)

[Hence,] عِيشَةٌ خَضْرَآءُ † A mode of life soft, or delicate, and plentiful and pleasant. (Ḥar p. 639.)
