with a large knife: or, accord. to Ibn-Buzurj,
some of the Arabs say, بَشَرْتُ الأَدِيمَ, aor.
يَبْشِرُ ,
meaning I removed from the hide its بَشَرَة; and
↓ أَبْشَرْتُهُ as meaning I exposed to view its بَشَرَة
that was next to the flesh; and آدَمْتُهُ I exposed
to view its أَدَمَة upon which the hair grew. (TA.)

2-b2- Hence the saying in a trad.,
مَنْ أَحَبَّ القُرْآنَ قَلْيَبْشُرْ, accord. to him who
recites it thus, with damm to the ش; meaning
(assumed tropical:) Whoso loveth the Kur-án, let him make himself
light of flesh, [by not eating more than will be
sufficient, and so prepare himself] for [reading,
or reciting,] it, [like as one prepares a horse for
running,] because eating much causes one to forget it. (TA.) ―
2-b3- Hence also, بَشَرَ الأَرْضَ, (TA,)
inf. n. as above, (S, K,) (assumed tropical:) It (a swarm of locusts)
stripped the ground; (TA;) ate what was upon
the ground, (S, K,) i. e., upon its surface; as

happened to me whereat I rejoiced, or whereby
I became rejoiced. (S.) And أَبْشَرَ ↓ بِمَوْلُودٍ He
