He has not [of camels &c.] any that returns from water, nor any that comes to it; i. e., he has not anything; (Kh, S, K;) or, he has not anything, nor has he any people; an expression similar to مَا لَهُ سَعْنَةٌ وَلَا مَعْنَةٌ: (Lh:) according to IAar, هَارِبٌ signifies one who returns from water; and قَارِبٌ, one who seeks, or journeys to, water: (TA:) or the meaning is no one flees from him, nor does any one approach him; i. e., he is a person of no account. (As, K.) [In the TA a tradition is quoted which confirms the former signification.] See also article قرب.
