(Mgh, K. *) [Accord. to another explanation, mentioned in the TA, the blackness denoted by this phrase is behind the ear: but this is evidently a mistake.] b3:  See also 1.4 أَدْسَمَ see 1.5 تَدَسَّمَ see 1. b2:  تدسّموا also signifies They ate [food] with دَسَم [i. e. grease, or gravy, or dripping] دَسَم (TA.) دَسْمٌ: see دَسَمٌ.A2:  أَنَا عَلَى دَسْمِ الأَمْرِ meansعلى طَرَفٍ مِنْهُ [app. I am beside, or out of, the case, or affair]. (K.) دَسَمٌ a word of well-known meaning; (S;) i. q. وَدَكٌ; (M, K;) both signifying Grease, or gravy; i. e. the dripping that exudes from flesh-meat and from fat; (Msb in art. ودك;) the وَدَك of flesh-meat and of fat: (Mgh: [in the CK, الوَرَكُ is erroneously put for الوَدَكُ:]) or, accord. to the T, anything that has وَدَك, of flesh-meat and of fat: (TA:) and dirt, or filth: (M, K:) and ↓ دَسْمٌ signifies the same as دَسَمٌ, accord. to El-Kurtubee; but El-Welee El-'Irákee says, I have not seen this on the authority of any other lexicologist. (TA.) You say, يَدُهُ مِنَ الدَّسَمِ سَلِطَةٌ [app. meaning, if correctly transcribed, His hand is hard by reason of dirt adhering to it: in my MS. copy of the K, the last word is written سَطِلَةٌ; a word which I do not find in any sense: in the TK, سطلة: this Freytag thinks to be the right reading, though I know of no such word; and he renders the phrase, “manus ejus propter sordes inhaerentes catinus est; ” evidently assuming that سطلة is a dial. var. of سَطْلٌ]. (K.) [It seems that you say also, مَا فِيهِ دَسَمٌ meaning (assumed tropical:)  There is not in him, or it, any profit, or good: a sense assigned in the TA to the phrase ما فيه ديسم دسم; in which I think it evident that the transcriber has written ديسم by mistake, and forgotten to erase it after adding دسم.) b2: Also The bowels, or intestines. (TA.) A2: Accord. to IAar, it means also كَثِيرُ الذِّكْرِ [Praising, or glorifying, God, much]; a sense in which it is incorrectly said in the K to be ↓ دَسِيمٌ, like أَمِيرٌ: (TA:) and hence the trad., of weak authority, لَا يَذْكُرُونَ اللّٰهَ إِلَّا دَسَمًا: (K:) or, accord. to Z, this is from دَسَمَ said of rain: and, as related by Abu-d-Dardà, the words are أَرَضِيتُمْ إِنْ شَبِعْتُمْ عَامًا أَلَّا تَذْكُرُونَ اللّٰهَ إِلَّا دَسَمًا, meaning [Do ye approve, if ye be satisfied in your stomachs throughout a year,] that ye should not praise, or glorify, God, save a little? (TA:) or it may denote commendation; so that the meaning of لا يذكرون اللّٰه الّا دسمًا is, that praise, or glorification, is the stuffing of their hearts and of their mouths: and it may denote discommendation; as meaning that they praise, or glorify, little; from تَدْسِيمُ نُونَةِ الصَّبِىِّ; (K, TA;) the blackness denoted by this phrase being small in quantity: or, as some say, the meaning is, that they do not praise, or glorify, God for anything but eating, and the grease, or gravy, in their insides. (TA.) دَسِمٌ A thing greasy; or having in it, or upon it, grease or gravy, (M, Mgh,) of flesh-meat or of fat: (Mgh:) [and dirty, or filthy: pl. دُسْمٌ; like as ذُرْبٌ is pl. of ذَرِبٌ.] You say مَرَقَةٌ دَسِمَةٌ [Greasy broth]. (TA.) And ثِيَابٌ دُسْمٌ, Dirty, or filthy, garments. (S, TA.) And دَسِمَ الثَّوْبِ, applied to a man, [Dirty in the garment: and hence, going on foot;] not riding; as also ↓ أَدْسَمُ الثَّوْبِ. (TA.) [Hence also,] (assumed tropical:)  Defiled by culpable dispositions. (TA.) A rájiz says, لَاهُمَّ إِنَّ عَامِرَ بْنَ جَهْمِأَوْذَمَ حَجًّا فِى ثِيَابٍ دُسْمِ meaning (assumed tropical:)  [O God, verily 'Ámir Ibn-Jahm] hath imposed upon himself, (S in art. وذم,) or hath performed, (M,) pilgrimage being defiled by sins. (S in art. وذم, and M.) b2:  عِمَامَةٌ دَسِمَةٌ signifies A black turban; (TA;) as also عمامة ↓ دَسْمَآءُ. (Az, Mgh, TA.) And دَسِمٌ occurs in a trad. as meaning (assumed tropical:)  Strict, or pious, [though] black, (أَسْوَدُ, [or this may here mean a genuine Arab, as opposed to أَحْمَرُ meaning a foreigner,]) and religious.

A2:  آخِرُ دَسْمَةٍ i. q.  آخِرُ عَهْدٍ [The last time]; like آخِرُ مَخْطَرٍ. (TA in art. خطر.

A2:  Blackness; (IAar, TA;) [and] so ↓ دَيْسَمٌ: (K:) or dust-colour inclining to blackness. (M, K.) Hence the Abyssinian is called أَبُو دُسْمَةٍ. (IAar, TA.) See also أُمُّ دَسْمَة, above.A3:  Applied to a man, (assumed tropical:)  Low, or ignoble; base; vile; mean, or sordid: (S, TA:) or bad, corrupt, base, or vile. (M, K.

(TA.) دِسَامٌ A stopper; (M, K;) a thing with which one stops up the ear, and a wound, and the like, and the head of a flask or bottle, and the like. (S.) It is said in a trad. that the Devil has a دِسَام; meaning that he has a stopper by which he prevents one from seeing the truth (M, TA) and from keeping in mind admonition. (TA.) دَسِيمٌ: see دَسَمٌ.دَاسِمٌ: see the next paragraph.دَيْسَمٌ Darkness.
