البهمة: الحجر الصلب، وقيل للشجاع بهمة تشبيها به، وقيل لكل ما يصعب على الحاسة إدراكه إن كان محسوسا، وعلى الفهم إن كان معقولا: مبهم.

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿أحلت لكم بهيمة الأنعام﴾ [المائدة: 1] البهيمة: ما لا نطق له، وذلك لما في صوته من الإبهام، ولكن خص في التعارف بما عدا السباع والطير. فالبهيمة شاملة للأنعام وغيرها، فمن ثم حسنت إضافتها للأنعام لإفادة البيان. أصل المادة الدلالة على عدم المسموع لما في ذلك الشيء من الاستغلاق.
