أَشْغَلُ

[More, and most, busy &c.]. أَشْغَلُ مِنْ ذَاتِ النِّحْيَيْنِ [More busy than she who was the owner of the two skins of butter] is a prov. [mentioned in the TA]: she was a woman of [the tribe of] Teym-Allah: she used to sell clarified butter, in the Time of Ignorance; and Khowwát Ibn-Jubeyr El-Ansáree came to her, demanding to buy clarified butter of her, and saw no one with her, and he bargained with her: so she untied a skin, and he looked at it: then he said to her, “ Hold thou it until I look at another: ” and she said, “ Untie thou another skin: ” and he did so, and looked at it, and said, “ I desire other than this; therefore hold thou it: ” and she did so: and when her hands were [thus] occupied, he assaulted her, and she was unable to repel the him.
