(Msb.) ― -b2- دَحَضَتِ الشَّمْسُ, (S, A, K,) aor. and inf. ns. as above, (TA,) (tropical:) The sun declined (S, A, K) towards the place of setting, (TA,) عَنْ كَبِدِ السَّمَآءُ (S) or عن بَطْنِ السمآء (A) [from the meridian]; as though it slipped. (TA.) ― -b3- دَحَضَتْ حُجَّتُهُ, (S, A, Msb, K,) aor. دَحَضَ , (Msb,) inf. n. دُحُوضٌ, (S, K,) or دَحْضٌ, (Msb,) (tropical:) His argument, plea, allegation, or evidence, was, or became, null, or void.

(TA.) دَحْضٌ دحض A slippery place; as also ↓ دَحَضٌ (S, K) and ↓ دَحُوضٌ (O, K) and ↓ مِدْحَضٌ (Freytag, from the Deewán of the Hudhalees,) [or مَدْحَضٌ?]: pl. دِحَاضٌ, (K,) [a pl. of the second,] like as جِبَالٌ is pl. of جَبَلٌ. (TA.) ― -b2- Also Water that causes slipping: pl. أَدْحَاضٌ. (TA.) دَحَضٌ دحض : see the next preceding paragraph. دَحُوضٌ دحوض : see the next preceding paragraph. دَاحِضٌ داحض [Slipping] has for a pl. دُحْضٌ: occur- ring in a trad., in the phrase دُحْضُ الأَقْدَامِ, meaning (assumed tropical:) those having no firmness, or stability, nor determination, or resolution, in affairs. (TA.) ― -b2- حُجَّتُهُمْ دَاحِضَةٌ, in the Kur [xlii. 15], means (tropical:) Their argument, or plea, or allegation, is null, or void: or, as IDrd says, on the authority of AO; it means مَدْحُوضَةٌ [rebutted]. (TA.) مِدْحَضٌ مدحض [or مَدْحَضٌ?]: see دَحْضٌ. مَدْحَضَةٌ مدحضه مدحضة A cause of slipping; syn. مَزَلَّةٌ. (K.) You say, هٰذِهِ مَدْحَضَةٌ لِلْقَدَمِ [This is a cause of slipping to the foot]. (A.) And مَكَانٌ مَدْحَضَةٌ, in a trad. respecting the Sirát, means A place on which the feet will not remain firm. (TA.) مِدْحَاضٌ مدحاض A place in which one slips much, or often: pl. مَدَاحِضُ. (TA.)
