And it is said in trad, لَا خِلَاطَ وَلَا وِرَاطَ, which is like his [Mohammad's] saying, (assumed tropical:) There shall be no putting together what is separate, nor separating what is put together, from fear of the poor-rate: (S:) خلاط has been explained in its place: (TA:) وراط [has also been variously explained in that place, and, it is said,] signifies the putting together what is separate: and the reverse: (K:) or the dispersing camels (K, TA) among other camels: (TA:) or the hiding camels among other camels; (Th, K;) or in a low, or depressed, piece of ground; in order that the collector of the poor-rate may not see them: (K:) or the making one another to fall into a وَرْطَة, (TA,) one saying to the collector of the poor-rate, “ Such a one has that for which a poor-rate is due, ” when he has not; (K, TA;) so accord. to IAar: accord. to Ibn-Háni, it is from أَوْرَطَ الجَرِيرَ فِى عُنُقِ البَعِيِرِ.

You say, تورّطتِ الغَنَمُ وَغَيْرُهَا The sheep, or goats, &c., fell into mud from which they could not extricate themselves; or into a depressed piece of ground in which was no way directing to escape: and hence the verb is used in relation to any straitness or difficulty.
