And [hence also, (in the CK, erroneously, “ or, ”) as appears from what follows,] (assumed tropical:) He made it apparent; showed, exhibited, manifested, or revealed, it: (K:) so says IAar, citing the following verse of Zuheyr:
(TA:) i. e. Ye two repaired the condition of the tribes of 'Abs and Dhubyán by peace, (تَلَافَيْتُمَا أَمْرَهُمَا بِالصُّلْحِ,) after they had shared, one with another, in destruction, and had brayed [among themselves] the perfume of Menshim as a sign of their having leagued together against their enemy; i. e., after slaughter had come upon the last of their men, as upon the last of those who perfumed themselves with the perfume of Menshim: for [it is said that] منشم is the name of a woman who sold perfume in Mekkeh, and a party bought of her some perfume, and leagued together to fight their enemy, making the dipping of their hands in that perfume to be a sign of their league; and they fought until they were slain to the last of them: whence the prov., أَشْأَمُ مِنْ عِطْرِ مَنْشِمَ: (EM p. 117:) [so that, according to this explanation, which is one of many, منشم is made perfectly decl. for the sake of the rhyme:] or the meaning is, (assumed tropical:) after they had manifested enmities and faults. (TA.) One says also, in cases of enmity, لَأَدُقَّنَّ شُعُورَكَ, meaning (assumed tropical:) I will assuredly manifest thy circumstances. (TA.)تَدَارَكْتُمَا عَبْسًا وَذُبْيَانَ بَعْدَمَاتَفَانَوْا وَدَقُّوا بَيْنَهُمْ عِطْرَ مَنْشِمِ
