[And all other men have contracted the shackles of their stallion-camel; but we have pulled off his shackles, and he is going away whithersoever he will in his place of pasture]: (Ṣ, M, TA: but in the last, حَلَلْنَا is put in the place of خَلَعْنَا: [in the Ḥam (p. 347) it begins thus: أَرَى كُلَّ قَوْمٍ:]) this, says Aṣ, is a prov.; meaning [other] men have abode in one place, not daring to remove to another, and have contracted the shackles of their stallion, that is, confined him, that he may not advance, and be followed by their [other] camels; fearing a hostile attack upon them: but we are people of might, wandering about the land, and going whithersoever we will; and we have pulled off the shackles of our stallion, that he may go whither he will; and whithersoever he hastes away to herbage produced by the rain, thither we follow him: (IB, TA:) or it may be that by the فحل he means the chief, whom, Abu-l-ʼAlà says, he likens to the stallion-camel.
