- الصاب هو العلقم، وقال أبو حنيفة: الصاب شجر إذا اعتصر خرج منه كهيئة اللبن، فربّما نزتْ منه نزية، أي قطرة، فتقع في العين فكأنّها شهاب نار، وربّما أضعفت البصر.
- Aṣ-ṣāb is the squirting cucumber. Abū Ḥanīfa said: Aṣ-ṣāb is a shrub from which one brings out a milkish sap on squeeze. If a squirt, that is to say a single drop of it, touches the eye, it is afterwards like fire-brand. It potentially weakens the eyesight.
