استمجد

[He desired, or sought, مَجْد, or glory, honour, dignity, nobility, &c.;] he gave largely from a desire of مَجْد. (S, L.)

It is said in a proverb, فِى كُلِّ شَجَرٍ نَارْ وَاسْتَمْجَدَ الْمَرْخُ وَالْعَفَارْ (tropical:) In all trees is fire; but the markh and 'afár yield much fire: (S, L, K: *) as though they had taken as much fire as sufficed them, (S, L,) and were therefore fit substances for striking fire: (L:) or because they yield fire quickly; wherefore they are likened to him who gives largely from a desire of مَجْد. (S, L.) See مَرْخٌ, and عَفَارٌ.
