* يَنْفَعُ الطَّيِّبُ القَلِيلُ مِنَ الرِّزْ *
* قِ وَلَا يَنْفَعُ الكَثِيرُ الخَبِيتُ *

[The lawful, but small, supply of the means of subsistence is beneficial, but the large and unlawful is not beneficial]. (TA.) Kh asked Aṣ respecting الخبيت in this verse; and the latter replied that the poet meant الخَبِيث; the former word being of the dial. of Kheyber: but Kh rejoined, “If so, the poet would have said الكتير: it behooves you only to say that the people of Kheyber change ث into ت in some words:” AM thinks that الخبيت in this verse is a mistranscription for الخَتِيت, which means the thing that is “contemptible and bad,” and is syn. with الخَسِيس. (TA.)
