دَدٌ دد , (S, A, K, [but in some copies of the S and K written دَدّ, and said in the TA, in art ددن, to be so written by some, though it is there implied that this is of doubtful authority,]) without tesh-deed, (A, TA,) like يَدٌ, (MF,) Diversion, sport, play, or such as is vain, or frivolous; (S, A, K;) as also دَدًا, like قَفًا; and دَدنٌ, (S, K,) and ↓ دَدَدٌ : (Ed-Demámeenee, CK:) but accord. to IB, it should be mentioned in art. ددن [in which دَدَنٌ is mentioned again in the S and K], or art. ددو [in which دَدًا is mentioned again together with دَدٌ and دَدَنٌ]. (L.) [The proper place of دَدٌ seems to be art. ددو (like as art. اخو is the proper place in which أَخٌ should be mentioned), as well as of دَدًا; and the proper place of دَدَنٌ, art. ددن.] Hence, (A,) مَا أَنَا مِنْ دَدٍ وَلَا الدَّدُ مِنِّى [I have no concern with diversion, &c., nor has diversion, &c., any concern with me]: a saying [of Mohammad] occurring in a trad.
