(Ḥam p. 477.) [See an ex. in a verse cited in art. اى, conj. 6.] Accord. to IAth, the saying, in a trad., اُحْثُوا فِى وُجُوهِ المَدَّاحِينَ التُّرَابَ means † [Repel ye with] disappointment [those who praise much]: but some make it to have its overt meaning [of throw ye dust in the faces of those who praise much]. (TA.) The verb is also used in relation to water; as in the saying, يَكْفِيهِ أَنْ يَحْثُوَ ثَلَاثَ حَثَوَاتٍ↓, (Mṣb,) and كَانَ يَحْثِى ثَلَاثَ حَثَيَاتٍ, (TA, [and the like is said in the Mgh,]) i. e. † [It is sufficient for him to throw, and he used to throw,] three handfuls [of water]. (Mṣb, TA.)
