مُجَوَّرٌ مجور [as meaning Thrown down, or overturned,] occurs in the following prov.: “ يَوْمٌ بِيَوْمِ الحَفَضِ المُجَوَّرِ
” [A day for a day of the household-goods (or, accord. to the TA, the hair-cloth tent) thrown down, or overturned]: applied in the case of rejoicing at a calamity befalling another: a man had an aged paternal uncle, and used continually to go into the latter's tent, or house, and throw down his household-goods, one upon another; and when he himself grew old, sons of a brother of his did to him as he had done to his paternal uncle; wherefore he said thus, meaning, this is for what I did to my paternal uncle.
