(Msb) five أَرْطَال [or pints] and a third, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) by the measure of Baghdád; (Msb;) the مُدّ being a pint and a third: (K, TA:) so with the people of El-Hijáz, (Mgh, TA,) [i. e.] so with the people of the Harameyn, as was proved by a number of specimens of the صاع used in dealings with the Prophet, (Msb,) and so accord. to Esh-Sháfi'ee: (TA:) but with the people of El-' Irák it was eight pints, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) with whom agreed Aboo-Haneefeh; the مُدّ with them being two pints; (Msb, TA;) but the addition was made by El-Hajjáj; and their صاع was the قَفِيز حَجَّاجِىّ , and was unknown to the people of El-Medeeneh, as is said by Az: (Msb:) accord. to Ed-Dáwoodee, its invariable measure is four times the quantity [of corn & c.] that fills the two hands, that are neither large nor small, of a man; for the صاع of the Prophet is not found in every place; and this (the author of the K says, TA) I have tried, and found to be correct: (K, TA:) the word is masc. and fem.: (Zj, Msb, K, TA:) accord. to Fr, the people of El-Hijáz make it fem.; and Benoo-Asad, except some of them, make it masc., as do the people of Nejd; and Zj says that the more chaste way is to make it masc.: (Msb:) the pl.

(TA in art. طأ .) ― -b4- And (assumed tropical:) A place that is swept and in which one then plays: (Ibn-' Abbád, O, K:) [see the verse cited in what follows:] and ↓ صَاعَةٌ is said to signify a piece of ground which a boy sweeps, removing its pebbles, and in which he plays with the ball: and a bare place, in which is nothing. (TA.) ― -b5- And The place of the breast of the ostrich when she puts it upon the ground: (K:) or such a place is called صَاعُ جُوءْجُوءِ النَّعَامِ . (IF, O.) And one says, ضَرَبَهُ فِى صَاعِ جُوءُجُوءِهِ and فى صاعِ صَدْرِهِ meaning (tropical:) He struck him in the middle of his breast. (Z, TA.) -A2- And it is said that] صَاعٌ also signifies The [kind of goffstick called] صَوْلَجَان . (K.) In the following verse of El-Museiyab Ibn-' Alas, describing a she-camel, مَرِحَتْ يَدَاهَا لِلنَّجَا=ءِ كَأَنَّمَا تَكْرُو بِكَفَّىْ لَاعِبٍ فِى صَاعِ [the most obvious meaning of which is, Her fore legs moved briskly for the purpose of hastening, as though she were propelling a ball with the hands of a player in a piece of ground cleared for that exercise,] or, as some relate it, بِكَفَّىْ مَاقِطٍ , meaning with the hands of a player with the ball, it is said by some that he means بِصَاعٍ , [though it is not easy to see why, if so, he did not say بِالصَّاعِ ,] and that by the صاع he means the صَوْلَجَان , because it is bent ( يُعْطَفُ [see 1, last sentence,]) for the purpose of striking with it, that the ball may be propelled ( تُصَاعُ ) with it. (O.)
