حُذَافَةُ

Clippings, or what one cuts off, of a hide, (Lh, S, Sgh, K,) &c: (S, Sgh, K:) or what is cut off, of a thing, and thrown away. (TA.) — [Hence,] one says, مَا فِى رَحْلِهِ حُذَافَةٌ (tropical:) There is not in his travelling-utensils any food: (S, Sgh, K:) or any small quantity of food &c. (Z, TA.) And أَكَلَ الطَّعَامَ فَمَا تَرَكَ مِنْهُ حُذَافَةٌ (assumed tropical:) [He ate the food, and left not of it anything]. (ISk, S.) And اِحْتَمَلَ رَحْلَهُ فَمَا تَرَكَ مِنْهُ حُذَافَةً (assumed tropical:) [He took up and carried away his travelling-apparatus, and left not of it anything]. (ISk, S.) Accord. to the companions of A' Obeyd, the word is حذافة, with ق; but this is disallowed by Sh; and is wrong. (Az, TA.)
