Meaning & source

Gentle, lasting rain: rihām is the plural of rihmah, a light, steady rain of fine drops.

  • رهم: الرِّهْمةُ، بِالْكَسْرِ: الْمَطَرُ الضَّعِيفُ الدَّائِمُ الصَّغِيرُ القَطْر، وَالْجَمْعُ رِهَمٌ ورِهامٌ، قَالَ أَبو زَيْدٍ: مِنَ الدِّيمة الرِّهْمَةُ، وَهِيَ أَشد وَقْعًا مِنَ الدِّيمَةِ وأَسرع ذَهَابًا
