* عَلَى الخَدَّيْنِ ذِى هَيْدَبْ *

[With hot tears upon the cheeks, flowing in a continued succession]. But it is said in the L, I have not heard هيدب used as an epithet applied to rain falling continuously, aor. as an epithet applied to tears; and the verse which Lth adduces as an authority is forged. (TA.)
