شَبَمٌ ذ Cold, or coldness; (S, Msb, K;) accord. to the M, of water: (TA:) but one says غَدَاةٌ ذَاتُ شَبَم ٍ [A morning having coldness]: (S:) and يَوْمٌ ذُو شَبَم ٍ A day having coldness. (Msb.) ― -b2- Jureybeh Ibn-El-Ashyam El-Fak'asee says, “ وَقَدْ شَبَّهُوا العِيرَ أَفْرَاسَنَا
فَقَدْ وَجَدُوا مَيْرَهَا ذَا شَبَمْ
” [And they likened our horses to the camels carrying provision of corn; but they found their provision to be something having coldness]; meaning, accord. to Aboo-Riyásh, that they found death; for death is cold; and poison also is cold: but there is another reading, accord. to which the last word is بَشَمْ, meaning “heaviness,” such as results from food. (Ham p. 363.) See also the next paragraph.
