فتح الباری: (199/5)
"قَوْلُهُ: مَنَائِحُ بِنُونٍ وَمُهْمَلَةٍ جَمْعُ مَنِيحَةٍ وَهِيَ كَعَطِيَّةٍ لَفْظًا وَمَعْنًى وَأَصْلُهَا عَطِيَّةُ النَّاقَةِ أَوِ الشَّاةِ وَيُقَالُ: لَايُقَالُ: مَنِيحَةٌ إِلَّا لِلنَّاقَةِ وَتُسْتَعَارُ لِلشَّاةِ كَمَا تَقَدَّمَ فِي الْفِرْسِنِ سَوَاءً قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْحَرْبِيُّ وَغَيْرُهُ: يَقُولُونَ: مَنَحْتُكَ النَّاقَةَ وَأَعَرْتُكَ النَّخْلَةَ وَأَعْمَرْتُكَ الدَّارَ وَأَخْدَمْتُكَ الْعَبْدَ وَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ هِبَةُ مَنَافِعَ وَقَدْ تُطْلَقُ الْمَنِيحَةُ عَلَى هِبَةِ الرَّقَبَةِ."
