شَبَمٌ

Cold, or coldness; (S, Msb, K;) according to the M, of water: (TA:) but one says غَدَاةٌ ذَاتُ شَبَمٍ [A morning having coldness]: (S:) and يَوْمٌ ذُو شَبَمٍ A day having coldness. (Msb.)

Jureybeh Ibn-El-Ashyam El-Fak'asee says,

وَقَدْ شَبَّهُوا العِيرَ أَفْرَاسَنَا

فَقَدْ وَجَدُوا مَيْرَهَا ذَا شَبَمْ

[And they likened our horses to the camels carrying provision of corn; but they found their provision to be something having coldness]; meaning, according to Aboo-Riyásh, that they found death; for death is cold; and poison also is cold: but there is another reading, according to which the last word is بَشَمْ, meaning “heaviness,” such as results from food. (Ham p. 363.) See also the next paragraph.
