Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 27755 — The Prophet (peace and blessings be)

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the word zanim used in the Holy Qur'an means a base person who has been attached (to a people not his own). Then he recited this line of poetry: "A zanim whom men claim among them as something extra, just as shanks are added on to the width of a hide."
