رَشَاشٌ

What is sprinkled, (S, A, * K,) or scattered, (Msb,) of water, (A, Msb,) and the like, (Msb,) or of blood, (S, A, K,) and of tears, (S, K,) and the like, (K,) and of rain; (TA in article طش;) what is scattered, or flies about, of blood. (Msb.)

[Hence the saying,] لَمْ يَدْخُلْ فِى الشَّرِّ وَأَصَابَهُ مِنْ رَشَاشِهِ (tropical:) [He did not enter into evil, or mischief, and yet somewhat thereof, or of its effects, befell him]. (A, TA.) And أَلَحَّ بِنَا العُطَاشُ وَمَا نَالَنَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا الرَّشَاشُ [apparently meaning Insatiable thirst, or desire, to hear from thee, or the like, remained in us, and there did not reach us from thee aught save a mere sprinkling; or perhaps, what was scattered abroad, of rumours, or the like]. (A, TA. *) [See also an example voce رَذَاذٌ.]
