[Hence,] خَرَجَ إِلَى البَرَازِ (tropical:) He went forth to satisfy a want of nature. (A.) And إِذَا أَرَادَ البَرَازَ أَبْعَدَ (tropical:) [When he desired to satisfy a want of nature, he went far off]: a tradition; respecting which El-Khattábee says that the relaters of traditions err respecting the word, pronouncing it with kesr, for
