أَعْفَى

a word occurring in the saying of 'Omar Ibn-'Abd-El-'Azeez, لَعَمْرِى مَا البَرَاذِينُ بِأَعْفَى مِنَ الفَرَسِ فِيمَا كَانَ مِنْ مَوءُونَةٍ وَحَرْسٍ i. e. [By my life, or by my religion, the hackneys] are not more easy in respect of sustenance [and guardianship than the horse, or mare, of good breed: see فَرَسٌ]. (Mgh.)
