سِبْطٌ A grandchild; (
S,
Msb,
K;) a son's child, and a daughter's child: (
M,
TA:)
pl. أَسْبَاطٌ; (
S,
Msb,
TA;) which is commonly used by the vulgar as signifying daughters' children; distinguished by them from أَحْفَادٌ [which they apply to son's children,
pl. of حَفِيدٌ]; but the leading lexicologists expressly declare that it includes sons' children and daughters' children, as it is said to do by
ISd:
IAar explained سِبْطٌ and سِبْطَانِ and أَسْبَاطٌ as signifying the particularly distinguished, and choicest, of children. (
TA.) It is said in a
trad., (
TA,) الحَسَنُ وَالحُسَيْنُ سِبْطَا رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ El-Hasan, and El-Hoseyn are the two grandsons of the Apostle of God. (
M,
TA. *)
b2: A tribe of the Jews:
pl. أَسْبَاطٌ: (
M,
Msb,
K:) سِبْطٌ (
M) and أَسْبَاطٌ (
S,
Msb) in relation to the Jews, (
M,
Msb,) or [rather] the Children of Israel, (
S,) being like قَبِيلَةٌ (
M) and قَبَائِلُ (
S,
Msb) in relation to the Arabs: (
S,
M,
Msb:) and the former are thus called to distinguish them from the children of Ishmael. (
M,
TA.) In the phrase, وَقَطَّعْنَاهُمُ اثْنَتَىْ عَشْرَةَ أَسْبَاطًا [And we divided them into twelve divisions, tribes], (
S,
M,
K,) in the
Kur [vii. 160], (
S,
M,) اسباطا is a substitute (
S,
M,
K) for اثنتى عشرة, (
S,
M,) not a
specificative, (
S,
M,
K,) because the
specificative may only be a
sing.; (
S,
M;) the meaning being وقطّعناهم اثنتى عشرة فِرْقَةً
اسباطًا, (
Akh,
Zj,
S,) and therefore the numeral is
fem.; (
Akh,
S;) or this is a mistake; for it should be فِرَقًا اثنتى عشرة; and therefore the numeral is
fem. (Abu-l-'Abbás,
TA.)
Accord. to
Ktr, you say, هٰذَا سِبْطٌ and هٰذِهِ سِبْطٌ, and هٰؤُلَآءِ سِبْطٌ and using سبط as a
pl., meaning فِرْقَةٌ. (
TA.) The saying كَأَنَّهُ سِبْطٌ مِنَ الأَسْبَاطِ is [asserted to be] a mistake, inasmuch as its author imagined that سِبْطٌ meant a man: (
M:)
IDrd ascribes it to El-'Ajjáj or Ru-beh: it occurs in an أُرْجُوزَة by the latter. (
Sgh,
TA.) [But it is applied to a single man: for] it is said in a
trad., (
TA,) حُسَيْنٌ سِبْطٌ مِنَ الأَسْبَاطِ, i. e. Hoseyn is [as though he were] a nation of the nations (أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الأُمَمِ
K) in goodness; so
expl. by Aboo-Bekr: (
TA:) or one of the fathers of tribes; because of the multitude of his descendants: or one of the sons of daughters. (So in a marginal note in a copy of the “
Jámi' es-Sagheer ” of Es-Suyootee.)
b3: Also A generation (قَرْن) that comes after another. (
Zj,
TA.)
A2: And سِبْطٌ رِبْعِيَّةٌ, (
TA in the present art. and in art. ربع,) or رِبْعِيَّةٌ ↓ سَبَطٌ, (so
accord. to a copy of the
M, in the present art.,) A palmtree of which the fruit ripens in the end of the summer, or hot-season. (
M,
TA.) سَبَطٌ: see the next paragraph, first sentence.
A2: Also Such as is fresh of the [plant called] حَلِىّ; one of the plants of the sands; (
M;) [i. e.] the [plant called] نَصِىّ, while fresh; (
A'Obeyd,
S,
O,
K;) when it has dried up, called حَلِىّ; (
A'Obeyd,
S, O;) a plant like the ثِيل [
q. v.], except that it becomes tall; growing in the sands: (
Lth,
TA:)
n. un. with ة: (
Lth,
S:) it is one of those that, when they dry up, become white, [as is said of the حَلِىّ,] resembling hoariness, like the ثُمَام [or panic grass]: (
AHn, O: in the
TA, the نَمَّام:) it is asserted that the Arabs say, “The صِلِّيَان is the bread of the camels, and the سَبَط is their خَبِيص: ” (
AHn, O:) its manner of growth is like [that of] دُخْن [
q. v.]; and it is a good pasture: (
K:)
AHn says, a desert-Arab, of 'Anazeh, told me that its manner of growth is like that of large دُخْن, falling short of [so I render دُونَ, but this also signifies exceeding,] ذُرَة [
q. v.], and it has grain like the grain termed بَزْر [
q. v.], which will not come forth from its envelopes but by bruising, or pounding, and men extract it and eat it, made into bread, and cooked: (
M, O:) the
n. un. is with ة: and the
pl. is أَسْبَاطٌ. (
M.) Also The tree that has many branches and one أَصْل [meaning stem]: (
K:) so says
Az.; adding that hence is derived أَسْبَاطٌ [
pl. of سِبْطٌ]; as though the father represented the tree and the children represented the branches: (
TA: [but this is questionable:])
accord. to Abo-Ziyád, a certain tree, (
AHn,
M,
O,) growing in the sands, (
AHn,
O,) tall, having slender branches, eaten by the camels and the sheep or goats, (
AHn,
M,
O,) and collected by men, who sell it upon the roads (عَلَى الطُّرُقِ), (
AHn,
O,) or with the tamarisk (مَعَ الطَّرْفَآءِ); (so in the
TA;) without blossom and without thorns, having thin leaves of the size of [those of] the كُرَّاث [or leek] (
AHn,
M, O) when this first comes forth. (
AHn, O.)

S,
M,) and ↓ سَبْطُهُ, (
