Whence the saying, مَضِرَةٌ ↓ الدُّنْيَا خَضِرَةٌ [in the S حُلْوَةٌ خَضِرَةٌ] The goods of this world are delicate, fresh, and pleasant: or pleasing. (TA.) And ↓ الغَزْوُ حُلْوٌ خَضِرٌ [Predatory warfare is sweet and] fresh [or refreshing] and loved; because of the victory and spoil attending it. (TA, from a trad. of Ibn- 'Omar [which see fully quoted voce ثُمَامٌ].) ― -b2- You say also, هُوَلَكَ خِضْرًا مِضْرًا It is thine, or for thee: may it be attended with enjoyment and a wholesome result. (K.) ― -b3- And ذَهَبَ دَمَهُ خِضْرًا مِضْرًا, (S, K,) and مَضِرًا ↓ خَضِرًا , (K,) His blood went unrevenged, or unretaliated, or unexpiated by a mulet: (S, K:) مضرا being an imitative sequent [here as in the former instance].
