الهَرَمانِ:
هي أهرام كثيرة إلّا أن المشهور منها اثنان، واختلف الناس في أهرام مصر اختلافا جمّا وتكاد أن تكون حقيقة أقوالهم فيها كالمنام إلّا أنّا نحكي من ذلك ما يحسن عندنا، فمن ذلك ما ذكره أبو عبد الله محمد بن سلامة بن جعفر القضاعي في كتاب خطط مصر أنه وجد في قبر من قبور الأوائل صحيفة فالتمسوا لها قارئا فوجدوا شيخا في دير القلمون فقرأها فإذا فيها: إنا نظرنا فيما تدل عليه النجوم فرأينا أنّ آفة نازلة من السماء وخارجة من الأرض ثم نظرنا فوجدناه ماء مفسدا للأرض وحيوانها ونباتها، فلما تمّ اليقين من ذلك عندنا قلنا لملكنا سوريد بن سهلوق: مر ببناء افرونيات وقبر لك وقبور لأهل بيتك، فــبنى لنفسه الهرم الشرقي وبنى لأخيه هو جيب الهرم الغربي وبنى لابن هو جيب الهرم المؤزّر وبنيت الافرونيات في أسفل مصر وأعلاها وكتبنا في حيطانها علما غامضا من معرفة النجوم وعللها والصنعة والهندسة والطبّ وغير ذلك مما ينفع ويضر ملخّصا مفسرا لمن عرف كلامنا وكتابتنا، وانّ هذه الآفة نازلة بأقطار العالم وذلك عند نزول قلب الأسد في أول دقيقة من رأس السرطان وتكون الكواكب عند نزوله إياها في هذه المواضع من الفلك: الشمس والقمر في أول دقيقة من رأس الحمل، وزحل في درجة وثمان وعشرين دقيقة من الحمل، والمشتري في الحوت في تسع وعشرين درجة وثمان وعشرين دقيقة، والمريخ في الحوت في تسع وعشرين درجة وثلاث دقائق، والزهرة في الحوت في ثمان وعشرين درجة ودقائق، وعطارد في الحوت في
سبع وعشرين درجة ودقائق، والجوزهر في الميزان وأوج القمر في الأسد في خمس درج ودقائق، ثم نظرنا هل يكون بعد هذه الآفة كون مضرّ بالعالم فاحتسبنا الكواكب فإذا هي تدلّ على أنّ آفة من السماء نازلة إلى الأرض وأنها ضدّ الآفة الأولى وهي نار محرقة لأقطار العالم، ثم نظرنا متى يكون هذا الكون المضر فرأيناه يكون عند حلول قلب الأسد في آخر دقيقة من الدرجة الخامسة عشرة من الأسد ويكون إيليس وهو الشمس معه في دقيقة واحدة متصلة بستورنس وهو زحل من تثليث الرامي ويكون المشتري وهو زاويس في أول الأسد في آخر احتراقه ومعه المرّيخ وهو آرس في دقيقة ويكون سلين وهو القمر في الدلو مقابلا لإيليس مع الذنب في اثنتين وعشرين ويكون كسوف شديد له بثلث سلين القمر ويكون عطارد في بعده الأبعد أمامها مقبلين أما الزهرة فللاستقامة وأما عطارد فللرجعة، قال الملك:
فهل عندكم من خبر توقفوننا عليه غير هذين الاثنين؟
قالوا: إذا قطع قلب الأسد ثلثي سدس أدواره لم يبق من حيوان الأرض متحرّك إلّا تلف فإذا استتمّ أدواره تحلّلت عقود الفلك وسقط على الأرض، قال لهم: ومتى يكون يوم انحلال الفلك؟ قالوا:
اليوم الثاني من بدو حركة الفلك، فهذا ما كان في القرطاس، فلما مات سوريد دفن في الهرم الشرقي ودفن هوجيب في الهرم الغربي ودفن كرورس في الهرم الذي أسفله من حجارة أسوان وأعلاها كدان، ولهذه الأهرام أبواب في آزاج تحت الأرض طول كلّ أزج منها مائة وخمسون ذراعا، فأما باب الهرم الشرقي فمن الناحية البحرية، وأما باب الهرم الغربي فمن الناحية الغربية، وأما باب الهرم المؤزر فمن الناحية القبلية، وفي الأهرام من الذهب وحجارة الزمرد ما لا يحتمله الوصف، وإنّ مترجم هذا الكتاب من القبطي إلى العربي أجمل التاريخات إلى أول يوم من توت الأحد وطلوع شمسه سنة خمس وعشرين ومائتين من سني العرب فبلغت أربعة آلاف وثلاثمائة وإحدى وعشرين سنة لسني الشمس ثم نظر كم مضى من الطوفان إلى يومه هذا فوجده ثلاثة آلاف وتسعمائة وإحدى وأربعين سنة وتسعة وخمسين يوما فألقاها من هذه الجملة فبقي معه ثلاثمائة وتسع وتسعون سنة وخمسة أيام فعلم أن هذا الكتاب المؤرّخ كتب قبل الطوفان بهذه السنين، وحكى ابن زولاق: ومن عجائب مصر أمر الهرمين الكبيرين في جانبها الغربي ولا يعلم في الدنيا حجر على حجر أعلى ولا أوسع منها، طولها في الأرض أربعمائة ذراع في أربعمائة، وكذلك علوها أربعمائة ذراع، وفي أحدهما قبر هرمس وهو إدريس، عليه السّلام، وفي الآخر قبر تلميذه أغا تيمون، وإليهما تحج الصابئة، قال:
وكانا أولا مكسوّين بالديباج وعليهما مكتوب:
وقد كسوناهما بالديباج فمن استطاع بعدنا فليكسهما بالحصير، قال: وقال حكيم من حكماء مصر:
إذا رأيت الهرمين ظننت أن الإنس والجنّ لا يقدرون على عمل مثلهما ولم يتولّهما إلا خالق الأرض، ولذلك قال بعض من رآهما: ليس من شيء إلا وأنا أرحمه من الدهر إلا الهرمين فإني أرحم الدهر منهما، قال عبيد الله مؤلف هذا الكتاب: وقد رأيت الهرمين وقلت لمن كان في صحبتي غير مرّة إن الذي يتصوّر في ذهني أنه لو اجتمع كل من بأرض مصر من أولها إلى آخرها على سعتها وكثرة أهلها وصمدوا بأنفسهم عشر سنين مجتهدين لما أمكنهم أن يعملوا مثل الهرمين وما سمعت بشيء تعظّم عمارته فجئته إلا ورأيته دون
صفته إلا الهرمين فإن رؤيتهما أعظم من صفتهما، قال ابن زولاق: ولم يمرّ الطوفان على شيء إلا وأهلكه وقد مرّ عليهما لأن هرمس وهو إدريس، عليه السّلام، قبل نوح وقبل الطوفان، وأما الهرم الذي بدير هرميس فإنه قبر قرباس وكان فارس مصر وكان يعدّ بألف فارس فإذا لقيهم وحده لم يقوموا له وانهزموا، وإنه مات فجزع عليه الملك والرعية ودفنوه بدير هرميس وبنوا عليه الهرم مدرجا وبقي طينه الذي بني به مع الحجارة من الفيوم وهذا معروف إذا نظر إلى طينه لم يعرف له معدن إلا بالفيوم وليس بمنف ووسيم له شبه من الطين، وقال ابن عفير وابن عبد الحكم: وفي زمان شداد بن عاد بنيت الأهرام فيما ذكر عن بعض المحدثين ولم نجد عند أحد من أهل العلم من أهل مصر معرفة في الأهرام ولا خبرا ثبت إلا أن الذي يظن أنها بنيت قبل الطوفان فلذلك خفي خبرها ولو بنيت بعده لكان خبرها عند الناس، ولذلك يقول بعضهم:
حسرت عقول ذوي النّهى الأهرام، ... واستصغرت لعظيمها الأحلام
ملس منبّقة البناء شواهق، ... قصرت لغال دونهنّ سهام
لم أدر حين كبا التفكّر دونها، ... واستوهمت بعجيبها الأوهام
أقبور أملاك الأعاجم هنّ أم ... طلّسم رمل كنّ أم أعلام
وقال ابن عفير: لم تزل مشايخ مصر يقولون إن الأهرام بناها شداد بن عاد وهو الذي بنى المغار وجند الأجناد، والمغار والأجناد هي الدفائن، وكانوا يقولون بالرجعة فكان إذا مات أحدهم دفنوا معه ماله كائنا ما كان وإن كان صانعا دفنت معه آلته، وذكر أن الصابئة تحجّها، ومن عجائب مصر الهرمان إذ ليس على وجه الأرض بناء باليد حجر على حجر أطول منهما وإذا رأيتهما ظننت أنهما جبلان موضعان، ولذلك قيل: ليس من شيء إلا وأنا أرحمه من الدهر إلا الهرمين فإني أرحم الدهر منهما، وعلى ركن أحدهما صنم كبير يقال إنه بلهيت ويقال إنه طلسم للرمل لئلا يغلب على كورة الجيزة وإن الذي طلسمه بلهيت، وسبب تطلسمه أن الرمال غربيه وشماليه كثيرة متكاثفة فإذا انتهت إليه لا تتعداه، وهو صورة رأس آدمي ورقبته ورأسا كتفيه كالأسد وهو عظيم جدّا، حدثني من رأى نسرا عشش في أذنه:
وهو صورة مليحة كأن الصانع فرغ منه عن قرب، وهو مصبوغ بحمرة موجودة إلى الآن مع تطاول المدة وتقدم الأعوام، قال المعرّي:
تضلّ العقول الهبرزيّات رشدها، ... ولا يسلم الرأي القويم من الأفن
وقد كان أرباب الفصاحة كلما ... رأوا حسنا عدّوه من صنعة الجنّ
وقال أبو الصّلت: وأي شيء أعجب وأغرب بعد مقدورات الله، عز وجل، ومصنوعاته من القدرة على بناء جسم من أعظم الحجارة مربع القاعدة مخروط الشكل ارتفاع عموده ثلاثمائة ذراع ونحو سبعة عشر ذراعا تحيط به أربعة سطوح مثلثات متساويات الأضلاع طول كل ضلع منها أربعمائة ذراع وستون ذراعا وهو مع هذا العظم من إحكام الصنعة وإتقان الهندام وحسن التقدير بحيث لم يتأثر إلى هلمّ جرّا بتضاعف الرياح وهطل السحاب وزعزعة الزلازل، وهذه صفة كل واحد من الهرمين المحاذيين للفسطاط 26- 5
من الجانب الغربي على ما شاهدناه منهما، قال:
واتفق أن خرجنا يوما فلما طفنا بهما وكثر تعجبنا منهما تعاطينا القول فيهما فقال بعضنا يعني نفسه:
بعيشك هل أبصرت أحسن منظرا، ... على طول ما أبصرت، من هرمي مصر
أطافا بأعنان السماء وأشرفا ... على الجوّ إشراف السّماك أو النسر
وقد وافيا نشزا من الأرض عاليا ... كأنهما ثديان قاما على صدر
قال: وزعم قوم أن الأهرام الموجودة بمصر قبور الملوك العظام آثروا أن يتميزوا بها عن سائر الملوك بعد مماتهم كما تميزوا عنهم في حياتهم وتوخوا أن يبقى ذكرهم بسببها على تطاول الدهور وتراخي العصور، ولما وصل المأمون إلى مصر أمر بنقبهما فنقب أحد الهرمين المحاذيين للفسطاط بعد جهد شديد وعناء طويل فوجد في داخله مهاو ومراق يهول أمرها ويعسر السلوك فيها ووجد في أعلاها بيت مكعب طول كل ضلع من أضلاعه ثمانية أذرع وفي وسطه حوض رخام مطبق فلما كشف غطاؤه لم يجدوا فيه غير رمة بالية قد أتت عليها العصور الخالية فأمر المأمون بالكف عن نقب ما سواه، وفي سفح أحد الهرمين صورة آدميّ عظيم مصبغة وقد غطى الرمل أكثرها وهي عجيبة غريبة، وفيها يقول ظافر الحداد الإسكندري:
تأمّل بنية الهرمين وانظر ... وبينهما أبو الهول العجيب
كعمّاريّتين على رحيل ... لمحبوبين بينهما رقيب
وماء النيل تحتهما دموع، ... وصوت الريح عندهما نحيب
قال: ومن الناس من زعم أن هرمس الأول المدعو بالمثلث بالحكمة وهو الذي يسميه العبرانيون أخنوخ ابن يرد بن مهلائيل بن قينان بن أنوش بن شيث بن آدم وهو إدريس النبي، عليه السّلام، استدل من أحوال الكواكب على كون الطوفان فأمر ببنيان الأهرام وإيداعها الأموال وصحائف العلوم إشفاقا عليها من الذهاب والدروس وحفظا لها واحتياطا عليها، وقيل إن الذي بناها سوريد بن سهلوق بن سرياق، وقال البحتري في قصيدة:
ولا بسنان بن المشلّل عند ما ... بنى هرميها من حجارة لابها
وذكر قوم أنه قد كتب على الهرمين بالمسند: إني بنيتهما فمن يدّعي قوة في ملكه فليهدمهما فإن الهدم أيسر من البناء، وذكر أن حجارتهما نقلت من الجبل الذي بين طرا وحلوان، وهما قريتان من مصر، وأثر ذلك باق إلى الآن.

المدَائِنُ:
قال بطليموس: طول المدائن سبعون درجة وثلث، وعرضها ثلاث وثلاثون درجة وثلث، بالفتح جمع المدينة، تهمز ياؤها ولا تهمز، إن أخذت من دان يدين إذا أطاع لم تهمز إذا جمع على مداين لأنه مثل معيشة وياؤه أصلية، وإن أخذت من مدن بالمكان إذا أقام به همزت لأن ياءها زائدة فهي مثل قرينة وقرائن وسفينة وسفائن، والنسبة إليها مدائنيّ وإنما جاز النسبة إلى الجمع بصيغته لأنه صار علما بهذه الصيغة وإلّا فالأصل أن يردّ المجموع إلى الواحد ثم ينسب إليه، والنسبة إلى مدينة الرسول، صلّى الله عليه وسلّم، مدنيّ وربما قيل مدينيّ، والنسبة إلى مدينة أصبهان مدينيّ لا غير وربما نسب إلى غيرها هذه النسبة كبغداد ومرو ونيسابور والمدائن العظام، قال يزدجرد بن مهبندار الكسروي في رسالة له عملها في تفضيل بغداد فقال في تضاعيفها ولقد كنت أفكر كثيرا في نزول فقال في نزول الأكاسرة بين أرض الفرات ودجلة فوقفت على أنهم توسطوا مصبّ الفرات في دجلة هذا ان الإسكندر لما سار في الأرض ودانت له الأمم وبنى المدن العظام في المشرق والمغرب رجع إلى المدائن وبنى فيها مدينة وسوّرها وهي إلى هذا الوقت موجودة الأثر وأقام بها راغبا عن بقاع الأرض جميعا وعن بلاده ووطنه حتى مات، قال يزدجرد: أما أنوشروان بن قباذ وكان أجلّ ملوك فارس حزما ورأيا وعقلا وأدبا فإنه بنى المدائن وأقام بها هو ومن كان بعده من ملوك بني ساسان إلى أيام عمر بن الخطّاب، رضي الله عنه، وقد ذكر في سير الفرس أن أول من اختطّ مدينة في هذا الموضع أردشير بن بابك، قالوا: لما ملك البلاد سار حتى نزل في هذا الموضع فاستحسنه فاختطّ به مدينة، قال: وإنما سميت المدائن لأن زاب الملك الذي بعد موسى، عليه السّلام، ابتناها بعد ثلاثين سنة من ملكه وحفر الزوابي وكوّرها وجعل المدينة العظمى المدينة العتيقة، فهذا ما وجدته مذكورا عن القدماء ولم أر أحدا ذكر لم سمّيت بالجمع والذي عندي فيه أن هذا الموضع كان مسكن الملوك من الأكاسرة الساسانية وغيرهم فكان كلّ واحد منهم إذا ملك بنى لنفسه مدينة إلى جنب التي قبلها وسماها باسم، فأولها المدينة العتيقة التي لزاب، كما ذكرنا، ثم مدينة الإسكندر ثم طيسفون من مدائنها ثم اسفانبر ثم مدينة يقال لها رومية فسميت المدائن بذلك، والله أعلم، وكان فتح المدائن كلها على يد سعد بن أبي وقّاص في صفر سنة 16 في أيام عمر بن الخطاب، رضي الله عنه، قال حمزة: اسم المدائن بالفارسية توسفون وعرّبوه على الطيسفون والطيسفونج وإنما سمّتها العرب المدائن لأنها سبع مدائن بين كل مدينة إلى الأخرى مسافة قريبة أو بعيدة، وآثارها واسماؤها باقية، وهي: اسفابور ووه أردشير وهنبو شافور ودرزيندان ووه جنديوخسره ونونيافاذ وكردافاذ، فعرّب اسفابور على اسفانبر، وعرّب وه أردشير على بهرسير، وعرب هنبو شافور على جنديسابور، وعرب درزيندان على درزيجان، وعرب وه جنديوخسره على رومية، وعرب السادس والسابع على اللفظ، فلما ملك العرب ديار الفرس واختطت الكوفة والبصرة انتقل إليهما الناس عن المدائن وسائر مدن العراق ثم اختط الحجاج واسطا فصارت دار الإمارة، فلما زال ملك بني أميّة اختط المنصور بغداد فانتقل إليها الناس ثم اختط المعتصم سامرّا فأقام الخلفاء بها مدّة ثم رجعوا إلى بغداد فهي الآن أم بلاد العراق، فأما في وقتنا هذ فالمسمى بهذا الاسم بليدة شبيهة بالقرية بينها وبين بغداد ستة فراسخ وأهلها فلّاحون يزرعون ويحصدون والغالب على أهلها التشيّع على مذهب الإمامية، وبالمدينة الشرقية قرب الإيوان قبر سلمان الفارسي، رضي الله عنه، وعليه مشهد يزار إلى وقتنا هذا، وقال رجل من مراد:
دعوت كريبا بالمدائن دعوة، ... وسيرت إذ ضمّت عليّ الأظافر
فيال بني سعد علام تركتما ... أخا لكما يدعوكما وهو صابر
أخا لكما إن تدعواه يجبكما، ... ونصركما منه إذا ريع فاتر
وقال عبدة بن الطيب:
هل حبل خولة بعد الهجر موصول، ... أم أنت عنها بعيد الدار مشغول؟
وللأحبّة أيّام تذكّرها، ... وللنّوى قبل يوم البين تأويل
حلّت خويلة في دار مجاورة ... أهل المدائن فيها الديك والفيل
يقارعون رؤوس العجم ظاهرة ... منها فوارس لا عزل ولا ميل
من دونها، لعتاق العيس إن طلبت، ... خبت بعيد نياط الماء مجهول
وقال رجل من الخوارج كان مع الزبير بن الماخور وكانوا أوقعوا بأهل المدائن فقال:
ونجّى يزيدا سابح ذو علالة، ... وأفلتنا يوم المدائن كردم
وأقسم لو أدركته إذ طلبته ... لقام عليه من فزارة مأتم
والمدائن أيضا: اسم قريتين من نواحي حلب في نقرة بني أسد، إليها فيما أحسب ينسب أبو الفتح أحمد ابن علي المدائني الحلبي، قرأت بخط عبد الله بن محمد ابن سنان الخفاجي الحلبي على جزء من كتاب الحيوان للجاحظ: ابتعته من تركة أبي الفتح أحمد المدائني في جمادى الآخرة سنة 459.

1 رَبَّهُ, (M, K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. رَبٌّ, (M,) [He was, or became, its رَبّ, or lord, possessor, owner, &c.;] he possessed, or owned, it; had possession of it, and command, or authority, over it; (M, K;) namely, a thing; (K;) syn. مَلَكَهُ. (M, K.) [and in like manner, He was, or became, his رَبّ, or lord, &c.] You say, رَبَبْتُ القَوْمَ, [inf. n. as above and مَرَبَّةٌ and رِبَابَةٌ,] I ruled, or governed, the people; syn. سُسْتُهُمْ; i. e. I was, or became, over them [as their lord, master, or chief]. (S.) and طَالَتْ مَرَبَّتُهُمُ النَّاسَ and رِبَابَتُهُم Their ruling, or governing, the people continued long. (M, K. *) The saying of Safwán, (T, S,) on the day of Honeyn, (T,) لَأَنْ يَرُــبَّنِى رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أُنْ يَرُــبَّنِى رَجُلٌ مِنْ هَوَازِنَ means [Assuredly that a man of Kureysh] should be over me (T, S) as رَبّ [or lord, &c.], and as master, or chief, having command, or authority, over me, (T,) [is more pleasing to me than that a man of Hawázin should be lord, &c., over me.] b2: Also, (S, M, Mgh, K,) aor. ـُ (S, M,) inf. n. رَبٌّ, (S, Mgh, M,) He reared, fostered, brought up, fed, or nourished, him; i. q. رَبَّاهُ; (S, M, Mgh, K;) namely, his child, (S,) or a child, (M, K,) either his own or another's; taking good care of him, and acting as his guardian, (M,) until he attained to puberty, or to the utmost term of youth: (M, K:) and so ↓ ربّبهُ, (Lh, S, M, Mgh, K,) or this has a more emphatic signification, (TA,) inf. n. تَربِيبٌ (Lh, M, Mgh, K) and تَرِبَّةٌ; (Lh, M, K;) and ↓ تربّبه; (S, M, K;) and ↓ ارتبّهُ: (M, K:) [in like manner, also,] ↓ رَبْرَبَ signifies he reared, fostered, or brought up, an orphan: (AA, T:) and accord. to IDrd, (M,) رَبِبْتُهُ is a dial. var. [of رَبَبْتُهُ]: (M, K:) he says also that the verb is used in like manner in relation to the young one of an animal other than man; and he used to cite this ex.: كَانَ لَنَا وَهْوَ فَلُوٌّ نِرْبِبُهْ [He belonged to us when he was a young weaned, or one-year-old, colt, we rearing him]; with the letter characteristic of the aor. meksoor, to show that the second letter of the preterite is meksoor, accord to the opinion of Sb in respect of a case of this kind; and this, he says, is peculiar to the dial. of Hudheyl in this species of verb. (M, TA.) رَبَّتِ المَرْأَةُ صَبِيَّهَا, used tropically, means (tropical:) The woman patted her child repeatedly on its side in order that it might sleep. (A, TA.) [See 2 in art. ربت.] [It is said that] the primary signification of الرَّبُّ is التَّرْبِيَةُ; i. e. The bringing a thing to a state of completion by degrees. (Bd in i. l.) A poet says, (S,) namely, Hassán Ibn-Thábit, (TA,) مِنْ دُرَّةٍ بَيْضَآءَ صَافِيَةٍ

حَائِرُ البَحْرِ ↓ مِمَّا تَرَبَّبَ [Than a white, clear, pearl, of those which the depth of the sea has brought to maturity]; meaning a pearl which the shell has reared, or brought to maturity in the bottom of the water. (S, TA.) And the phrase لَكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَرُبُّهَا occurs in a trad., meaning [Thou hast wealth] which thou preservest, and of which thou takest care, and which thou fosterest like as the man fosters his child. (TA.) b3: [Hence,] المَطَرُ يَرُبُّ النَّبَاتَ وَالثَّرَى The rain causes the plants, or herbage, and the moisture [of the earth] to increase. (M.) and السَّحَابُ يَرُبُّ المَطَرَ The clouds collect and increase the rain. (M.)

&c.; but more probably, I think, from what next follows.] b5: رَبَّ, (T, S, M, K,) aor. ـُ (T, M,) inf. n. رَبُّ (T, M, K) and رُبٌّ; (K) and ↓ ربّب; (M;) He seasoned a skin (T, S, K) for clarified butter (T, S) with رُبّ [i. e. rob, or inspissated juice], (T, S, K,) of dates, (TA,) which imparts a good odour to it, (S, TA,) and prevents the flavour and odour of the butter from being spoiled: (TA:) or he seasoned a skin with رُبّ, and a jar with tar or pitch: or, as some say, رَبَبْتُهُ signifies I smeared it over, and prepared it properly.

A2: رَبَّ, aor. ـِ see 4 A3: رَبَّتْ, (Lh, M, K,) aor. ـُ (so in the M,) or ـِ (MF, TA,) inf. n. رَبٌّ, (M, TA,) or رِبَابٌ, (S, K, [in each of which this is mentioned as the inf. n. whence the epithet رُبَّى,]) said of a ewe or she-goat, She brought forth: (Lh, M, K:) or, as some say, she conceived: or, accord. to some, there is no verb to the epithet رُبَّى: (M:) Az says that it has no verb: (Msb:) [but] ↓ رِبَابٌ is an inf. n. used in relation to a ewe or she-goat as meaning her being in the state of such as is termed رُبَّى

[q. v.]: (S, M, * Msb, * K: *) and in relation to a she-camel, as in the ex. cited by Munteji' Ibn-Nebhán to As, حَنِينَ أُمِّ البَوِّفِى رِبَابِهَا [The yearning cry of the mother of the young camel in the time of her having recently brought forth]: (S:) and used also in relation to a woman as meaning her having recently brought forth: or her state within two months after having brought forth: or within twenty days: whence the phrase, in a trad., حَمْلُهَا رِبَابٌ, meaning She becomes pregnant soon after having brought forth. (TA.) 2 ربّب: see 1, in five places. b2: [Also He preserved with رُبّ, i. e., rob, or inspissated juice: see مُرَبَّبٌ.]4 اربّ بِالمَكَانِ, (T, M, A, K, *) inf. n. إِرْبَابٌ; (T;) and ↓ رَبَّ, (M, K,) aor. ـِ (MF, TA;) He remained, stayed, dwelt, or abode, in the place, (T, M, A, K, *) not quitting it; (T;) like

(T.) With the article ال, it is [properly] applied only to God: (T, S, M, A, Msb, K:) He is رَبُّ الأَرْبَابِ [The Lord of lords]. (T. [Thus the pl. with the article ال is applied to created beings.]) To any other being it is not [properly] applied but as a prefixed noun governing another noun as its complement in the gen. case [or in a similar manner]. (S.) The pagan Arabs, however, sometimes applied it to A king, (S,) or to a lord as meaning a master or chief: (Msb:) El-Hárith says, (S, Msb,) i. e. Ibn-Hillizeh, (S,) وَهُوَ الرَّبُّ وَالشَّهِيدُ عَلَى يُوْ مِ الحِيَارَيْنِ وَالبَلَآءُ بَلَآءُ (S, Msb,) i. e. And he (meaning El-Mundhir Ibn-Má-es-Semà, or, as some say, 'Amr Ibn-Hind,) was the king [or lord] and witness of our fighting on the day of El-Hiyárán (the name of a place), and the trial was a hard trial. (EM, p. 285: [in which الحَيَارَيْنِ is erroneously put for الحِيَارَيْنِ.]) Some forbid that a man should be called the رَبّ of his slave: (Msb:) it is said in a trad. that the slave shall not say to his master, رَبّى, because it is like attributing a partner to God: (TA:) but رَبّ is sometimes used in the sense of lord as meaning master or chief prefixed to a noun signifying a rational being governed by it in the gen. case: thus in the saying of the Prophet, حَتَّى تَلِدَ الأَمَةُ رَبَّهَا [So that the female slave shall bring forth him who will become her master], or ↓ رَبَّتَهَا [her mistress], accord. to different transmitters; (Msb;) relating to the signs of the hour of resurrection: i. e., the female slave shall bring forth to her master a child that shall be as a master [or mistress] to her because like his [or her] father in rank: meaning that captives and concubines shall be numerous. (TA.) As to the phrase in the Kur [xii. 42], اُذْكُرْنِى عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ [Mention thou me in the presence of thy lord], Joseph thus addressed his fellow-prisoner agreeably with the acceptation in which he [the latter] understood the words. (TA.) A similar instance also occurs in the same chapter, in the verse immediately preceding. (Msb.) In another verse, [23 of the same ch.,] إِنَّهُ رَبِّى

[Verily he is my lord] may refer to Joseph's master or to God. (M, TA.) The words of the Kur [lxxxix. 28 and 29], اِرْجِعِى إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً

مَرْضِيَّةً فَادْخُلِى فِى عَبْدىِ, as some read, [instead of عِبَادِى,] may mean Return to thine owner, [approving, approved,] and enter into my servant. (M, TA.) b2: Without the article ال, as some say, (L, TA,) it is sometimes written and pronounced ↓ رَبٌ, without teshdeed; (L, K;) as in the following verse, cited by El-Mufaddal, وَقَدْ عَلِمَ الأَقْوَامُ أَنْ لَيْسَ فَوْقَهُ رَبٌ غَيْرُ مَنْ يَعْطِى الحُظُوظَ وَيَرْزُقُ [And the peoples have known that there is not above him a lord beside Him who gives the portions of mankind and of others and grants the means of subsistence]. (L.) And Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà [i. e. Th] mentions the phrase لَا وَرَبِيكَ لَا

أَفْعَلُ, for لَا وَرَبِّكَ [i. e. No, by thy Lord, I will not do such a thing]; the [latter] ب being changed into ى because of the reduplication. (M, K: * in the CK رَبْيِكَ.) رُبَّ is a word of which there are seventy dial. vars., all mentioned by Zekereeyà El-Ansáree in his great Expos. of the “ Munferijeh,” but only eighteen of which are mentioned in the K, including some that are formed with the affix ت, some with the affix مَا, and some with both these affixes together; as follows: (TA:) رُبَّ (T, S, M, Msb, Mughnee, K, &c.) and رَبَّ (T, M, Mughnee, K) and رُبُّ, (Mughnee,) and ↓ رُبَ (T, S, M, Mughnee, K) and رَبَ (T, M, Mughnee, K) and رُبُ and رُبْ (Mughnee, K) and رَبْ; (Mughnee;) and ↓ رُبَّتَ (T, S, M, Msb, Mughnee, K) and رَبَّتَ (M, Mughnee, K) and رُبُّتَ and رُبَّتُ and رَبَّتُ and رُبُّتُ and رُبَّتِ and رَبَّتِ and رُبُّتِ and رَبُّت (TA) and رُبَّتْ and رَبَّتْ (Mughnee) and رُبُّتْ, (TA,) and ↓ رُبَتَ (T, Mughnee, K) and رَبَتَ (Mughnee, K) and رُبُتَ and رُبْتَ and رَبْتَ and رُبَتُ and رَبَتُ and رُبُتُ and رُبْتُ and رَبْتُ and رُبَتِ and رَبَتِ and رُبُتِ and رَبُتِ and رُبْتِ and رَبْتِ (TA) and رُبَتْ and رَبَتْ (Mughnee) and رُبُتْ; (TA;) and رُبَّمَا (T, S, M, K) and رَبَّمَا (M, K) and رُبُّمَا, (TA,) and ↓ رُبَمَا (T, K) and رَبَمَا (K) and رُبُمَا and رُبْمَا and رَبْمَا; (TA;) and ↓ رُبَّتَمَا (T, S, M, K) and رَبَّتَمَا (M, K) and رُبُّتَمَا and رُبَّتُمَا and رَبَّتُمَا and رُبُّتُمَا and رُبَّتْمَا and رَبَّتْمَا and رُبُّتْمَا, (TA,) and ↓ رُبَتَمَا and رَبَتَمَا (M, K) and رُبُتَمَا and رُبْتَمَا and رَبْتَمَا and رُبَتُمَا and رَبَتُمَا and رُبُتُمَا and رُبْتُمَا and رَبْتُمَا and رُبَتْمَا and رَبَتْمَا and رُبُتْمَا: (TA:) [of all these, the most common are رُبَّ and رُبَّمَا: and] ↓ رُبَّتَ is the most common of the forms that have the affix ت: (Mughnee and K on the letter ت:) and the forms with teshdeed are more common than the [corresponding] forms without teshdeed. (M.) It is a word, (M,) or particle, (T, S, Mughnee, K,) governing the gen. case: (S, M, Mughnee, K:) or a noun, (K, TA,) [i. e. an indecl. noun,] in the opinion of the Koofees and some others; but this opinion is rejected by Ibn-Málik in the Tesheel and its Expos., and by AHei, and by IHsh in the Mughnee. (TA.) Accord. to some, (K, TA,) it is used to denote a small number, (T, M, Msb, K, TA,) always, (TA,) or mostly: (Msb, TA:) [thus it may be rendered Few if we render the noun following it as a pl.; and scarce any if we render the noun following as a sing. or a pl.:] it is the contr. of كَمْ when this latter is not used interrogatively: (T:) [and with مَا affixed, restricting it from government, it may be rendered Few times, or seldom:] or it is used to denote a large number; (K, TA;) i. e. always: so says IDrst: (TA:) [thus used, but such is not always the case, it may be rendered Many, whether we render the noun following it as a sing. or as a pl.: and with مَا affixed, Many times, many a time, oftentimes, ofttimes, often, or frequently:] or it is used to denote a small and a large number; (Mughnee, K;) often the latter, and seldom the former: (Mughnee:) or it is used in a case of boasting, or glorying, (K, TA,) exclusively of other cases, (TA,) to denote a large number: (K, TA:) or it does not denote by itself either a small number or a large number; but one or the other of these meanings is inferred from the context: (K:) [but sometimes neither of these meanings can be clearly inferred from the context: in these cases, it may be rendered Some: and with مَا affixed, Sometimes:] accord. to Er-Radee, its primary meaning is to denote a small number, but it has been so much used to denote a large number as to be in this latter sense as though it were proper, and in the former sense as though it were tropical, requiring context [to explain it]. (Marginal note in my copy of the Mughnee.) [Without the affix ما,] it governs an indeterminate noun (T, * S, Msb, Mughnee, K) only, (T, S, K,) and a pronoun. (S, M, Mughnee.) You say, رُبَّ يَوْمٍ بَكَّرْتُ فِيهِ [Few, or many, days have I gone forth early therein]: (T:) and رُبَّ رَجُلٍ قَائِمٌ [Few, or many, men are standing]: (M:) and رُبَّ رَجُلٍ قَامَ [Few, or many, men stood]: (Msb:) and in like manner, رُبَّتَ ↓ رَجُلٍ ; (Msb;) for the ت in this case is not a denotative of the fem. gender. (Msb.) The pronoun affixed to it is of the third Pers\., (S, M,) and is [generally] sing. and masc., (S, Mughnee,) though it may be followed by a fem. and by a dual and by a pl.: (S:) notwithstanding its being determinate in the utmost degree, its use in this manner is allowable because it resembles an indeterminate noun in its being used without the previous mention of the noun to which it relates; and hence it requires a noun to explain it: (IJ, M:) it annuls the government of رُبَّ; (TA;) and the indeterminate noun that follows it is put in the accus. case as a specificative: (S, Mughnee:) thus you say, رُبَّهُ رَجُلًا قَدْ ضَرَبْتُ [Few, or many, men I have beaten]: (S, M: *) but accord. to the Koofees, you say رُبَّهُ رَجُلًا, (S,) and رُبَّهَا امْرَأَةً, (M,) and رُبَّهُمَا رَجُلَيْنش, and رُبَّهُمْ رِجَالًا, and رُبَّهُنَّ نِسَآءً: he who puts the pronoun in the sing. [in all cases] holds it to be allusive to something unknown; and he who does not put it in the sing. [when it is not followed by a sing. noun] holds it to be used in reply to a question, as though it were said to a man, “Hast thou not any young women? ” and he answered, رُبَّهُنَّ جَوَارٍ قَدْ مَلَكْتُ [Few, or many, young women have I possessed]: Ibn-Es-Sarráj says that the grammarians are as though they were of one consent in holding رُبَّ to be a replicative [app. meaning in a case of this kind, with an affixed pronoun]: (S:) [but it is not always a replicative in a case of this kind; though perhaps it was originally:] AHeyth cites as an ex.

وَرُبَّهُ عَطِبًا أَنْقَذْتُ مِ العَطَبِ [And many a perishing man have I saved from perdition]. (TA. [But the reading commonly found in grammars is مِنْ عَطَبِهْ from his state of perdition.]) The following is an ex. of the use of رُبَّ to denote a small number, [or rather to denote singleness,] أَلَا رُبَّ مَوْلُودٍ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَبٌ وَذِى وَلَدٍ لَمْ يَلْدِهِ أَبَوَانِ [Now surely scarce an instance is there of anyone born not having a father, and of anyone having offspring whom two parents have not procreated]; meaning [our Lord] Jesus and Adam: (Mughnee: [but I have substituted يَلْدِهِ for يَلْدَهُ, the reading in my copy of that work: لَمْ يَلْدِهِ is for لَمْ يَلِدْهُ, for the sake of the metre; like as لِمْ أَجْدِ is for لَمْ أَجِدْ:]) and among the many exs. of its use to denote a large number, is the saying, in a trad., يَا رُبَّ كاَسِيَةٍ فِى الدُّنْيَا عَارِيَةٌ يَوْمَ القِيٰمَةِ [O, many a female having clothing in the present state of existence will be naked on the day of resurrection!]; and the saying of an Arab of the desert, after the ending of Ramadán, يَا رُبَّ صَائِمِهِ لَنْ يَعصُومَهُ وَيَا رُبَّ قَائِمِهِ لَنْ يَقُومَهُ [O, many a keeper of its fast shall not keep its fast again! and O, many a passer of its nights in prayer, or per-former of its تَرَاوِيح, shall not pass its nights in prayer, or perform its تراويح, again!]. (Mughnee.) [But in this last ex., and in others, it relates to few in comparison with others, though many abstractedly.] b2: مَا is affixed to رُبَّ &c. in order that a verb may follow it; (S, Mughnee;) and the verb that follows it is generally a preterite, (T, Mughnee,) as to the letter and the meaning: (Mughnee:) you say, رُبَّمَا جَآءَنِى فُلَانٌ [Seldom, or often, such a one came to me, or has come to me]: (T:) sometimes the verb is a future; (T, Mughnee;) but only when it expresses an event of which one is certain: (T:) so in the saying in the Kur [xv. 2], رُبَّمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ, (T, S, M, Mughnee), meaning Often [will those who have disbelieved wish that they had been Muslims]; (Mughnee, Jel;) or seldom, (Zj, T, M, Jel,) because terrors will bereave them of their reason so that they will but seldom recover reason to wish this; (Jel;) for God's threat is true, as though it had come to pass, and therefore the verb here is equivalent to a preterite [which is often used in the Kur and elsewhere in this manner]. (T.) مَا is also sometimes affixed when a noun follows, (T, Mughnee,) or a nominal proposition, and generally restricts رُبَّ

&c. from governing: thus, Aboo-Duwád says, رُبَّمَا الجَامِلُ المُؤَبَّلُ فِيهِمْ وَعَنَا جِيجُ بَيْنَهُنَّ المِهَارُ

[Sometimes, or often, the numerous herd of camels is among them, and there are swift horses, among which are the colts]: another says, making رُبَّ, with مَا affixed, to govern, رُبَّمَا ضَرْبَةٍ بِسَيْفٍ صَقِيلٍ

قَيْنِ بُصْرَى وَطَعْنَةٍ نَجْلَآءَ [Many a stroke with a polished sword of the forging of Busrà, (the Bozrah of the Bible, a city famous for its sword-blades,) and many a wide spear-wound; or, perhaps, few strokes &c.]: (Mughnee: [but I have substituted قَيْنِ for بَيْنَ, which is the reading in my copy of the Mughnee, an evident mistranscription:]) and another, cited by IAar, says, غَارَةٍ ↓ مَاوِىَّ يَا رُبَّتَمَا شَعْوَآءَ كَاللَّذْعَةِ بِالْمِيسَمِ [Máweeyeh, (مَاوِىَّ being an apocopated proper name of a woman, originally مَاوِيَّةُ,) O, many a raid spreading widely and dispersedly, like the burn with the branding-iron]. (T. [In the TT, as from the T, I find, here, بَلْ in the place of يا, which I find in a copy of the T, and which is the reading commonly known.]) رُبٌّ Rob, or inspissated juice, (دِبْس,) of any fruit; i. e., (M, TA,) the first, or clear, juice of the thick residuum of any fruit after it has been pressed (M, K, TA) and cooked: (M, TA:) thick طِلَآء [or expressed juice; such as the inspissated juice of dates, with which a skin for clarified butter is seasoned; see 1, in the latter half of the paragraph]: (S:) or what flows from fresh ripe dates, like honey, when it has been cooked [and so rendered thick]; before which it is called صَقْرٌ: (Msb in the present art. and in art. صقر:) what is prepared by coction from, or of, dates: (TA:) expressed juice of grapes, and of apples, &c., cooked and [so] thickened: (KL:) and dregs, (K,) or black dregs, (IDrd, M,) of clarified butter, (IDrd, M, K,) and of olive-oil: (IDrd, M:) pl. رُبُوبٌ and رِبَابٌ (S) [and pl. pl. (i. e. pl. of رُبُوبٌ) رُبُوبَاتٌ, which means sorts, or species, of رُبّ]

A2: See also رُبَّى.

رَبَّةٌ: see رَبٌّ, in three places. b2: الرَّبَّةُ was also the name of A Kaabeh [or square temple], (M, K,) in Nejrán, (M,) belonging to [the tribe of] Medh-hij (M, K) and Benu-l-Hárith-Ibn-Kaab, who held it in honour. (M.) In a trad. of 'Orweh (K, TA) Ibn-Mes'ood Eth-Thakafee, (TA,) it is applied to El-Lát (اللَّاتُ), (K, TA,) the rock which [the tribe of] Thakeef worshipped, at Et-Táïf. (TA.) And in another trad., it is said to be the name of A temple of [the tribe of] Thakeef, which, when they became Muslims, was demolished by El-Mugheereh. (TA.) b3: and رَبَّةٌ, (K,) or دَارٌ رَبَّةٌ, (M,) signifies A large house or mansion. (M, K.) A2: See also رُبَّى.

رُبَّةٌ A party, division, sect, or distinct body or class, of men: (M:) or a large assembly or company: (K:) or a myriad; i. e. ten thousand: (M, K:) or thereabout: (M:) and ↓ رِبّةٌ signifies the same: (M, K:) or this signifies a company [of men]: (T:) the pl. of the former is رِبَابٌ: (S, M:) and that of the latter is أَرِبَّةٌ: (T, K:) by Th [and in the K], the former pl. is said to be a pl. of رِبَّةٌ; but this is a mistake. (M.) b2: [Hence, the pl.] رِبَابٌ signifies Companions. (K.) b3: And hence [also], i. e., as pl. of الرُّبَةُ, (S, M,) الرِّبَابُ is an appellation of The [confederate] tribes of Dabbeh; (M, K, TA;) or Teym and 'Adee and 'Okl; (T, TA;) or Teym and 'Adee and 'Owf and Thowr and Ashyab; (TA; [but for the orthography of the last of these names I have found no authority; it is written in the TA اشيب, without any syll. signs;]) and Dabbeh was their paternal uncle; (TA;) or five tribes which united in a confederacy, consisting of Dabbeh and Thowr and 'Okl and Teym and 'Adee: (S:) they were thus called because of their division into distinct bodies; (M;) or because they collected themselves (As, Th, S, TA) in distinct bodies: (Th, M, TA:) or because they united in a confederacy against Temeem Ibn-Murr: (AO, M, TA:) or because they dipped their hands in some رُبّ, and formed a confederacy over it: (As, T, M, K:) or, as some say, because they congregated, and became like the رِبَاب [or bundle] of arrows [used in the game called المَيْسِر]: (TA:) the rel. n. is ↓ رُبِّىٌّ, formed from the sing., (Sb, S, M,) accord. to a rule generally observed except when a [single] man has a pl. word for his name, as كِلَابٌ &c. (S, TA.) b4: The sing. (رُبَّةٌ) also signifies Plenty, or abundance, of the means of subsistence: (K:) and constant, or inseparable, prosperity. (Khálid Ibn-Jembeh, TA.) A2: See also رُبَّى.

رِبَّةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, first sentence. b2: [Hence its pl.] أَرِبَّةٌ signifies Confederates; (S, IB, K;) [or] it is for ذَوُو أَرِبَّةٍ

having covenants; أَرِبَّةٌ being said by AAF to be pl. of رِبَابٌ in the sense of عَهْدٌ. (IB, TA.) A2: Also A species of plant, (S, M, Msb, K,) of the [season called] صَيْف, (M,) remaining in the end of the صَيْف: (Msb:) or the name of a number of plants which do not dry up in the صَيْف, remaining green in the winter and the صيف [or summer]; among which are the حُلَّب and the رُخَامَى and the مَكْر and the عَلْقَى or عَلْقًى: [see رَبْلٌ:] or a certain soft, or tender, herb, or leguminous plant: (TA:) or any plant that is green in the hot season: or certain species of trees, or of plants, undefined: (M:) pl. رِبَبٌ. (S, Msb.) [In the dial. of Egypt, Alexandrian trefoil (بِرْسِيم, q. v.,) of the second and third crops.] b2: Also A certain tree: as some say, the tree of the خَرُّوب [an appellation generally applied to the carob, or locust-tree]. (M, K.) رَبَبٌ, (S, M, K,) or مَآءٌ رَبَبٌ, (S, TA,) Much water, (S, M, K,) collected together: (M:) or sweet-water: (S, K:) accord. to Th, it means مَا رَبَّبَهُ الطِينُ [app. such (water) as the clay has collected; for تَرَبَّبَ signifying تَجَمَّعَ is probably quasi-pass. of رَبَّبَ, so that this last seems to signify جَمَّعَ]. (M.) رُبَتَ and رَبَتَ &c.; and رُبَتَمَا and رَبَتَمَا &c.: see رُبَّ.

رَبَابٌ Clouds: (M:) or white clouds: (S, K:) or clouds that one sees beneath other clouds, (S,) or clouds suspended beneath other clouds, (M,) sometimes white and sometimes black: (S, M:) this latter is said by IB to be the signification commonly known: (TA:) or clouds consisting of an accumulation of parts: (A 'Obeyd, T:) n. un. with ة. (A 'Obeyd, S, K.) Hence الرَّبَابُ as a proper name of a woman. (A 'Obeyd, T, S.) A2: Also A certain instrument of diversion, [meaning, of music,] (K,) having strings, (TA,) with which one plays [lit. beats]. (K.) [The رباب in common use among the Arabs in the present day is a kind of viol. A specimen of it is figured and described in my work on the Modern Egyptians. Being an instrument of remarkable simplicity, it is probably similar to the ancient رباب.] Memdood Ibn-'Abd-Allah El-Wásitee Er-Rabábee became proverbial for his musical skill with the رباب. (K.) A3: See also رُبَّانٌ.

رُبَابٌ: see رُبَّى, of which it is an anomalous pl.: A2: and see also رُبَّانٌ.

رِبَابٌ: see رِبَابَةٌ, in two places. b2: Also (tropical:) Tithes, or tenths; syn. عُشُورٌ: (S, M, K:) from the same word signifying “ a covenant. ” (S.) b3: In the phrase يُعْطِيهَا الأَمَانَ رِبَابُهَا, ending a verse of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, describing some asses, رِبَاب is said to signify An oath, or a promise, which the owner of the asses takes of a people to permit those asses to water: or the poet means that the person giving those asses permission to water gives to their owner an arrow, of those used in the game called المَيْسِر, [as a token,] to show that they have received permission to water, and that no one may offer them any opposition: (TA:) some say that رِبَابُهَا here means their owners: (M:) [holding this last opinion,] Sh says that رِبَاب in this verse is a pl. of رَبٌّ. (TA.) A2: It is also a pl. of رُبَّةٌ; (S, M;) not of رِبَّةٌ, as it is said to be by Th [and in the K]. (M.) A3: See also 1, last sentence.

A4: And see رُبَّانٌ.

رَبُوبٌ: see رَبِيبٌ.

A2: See also رَبٌّ, of which it is said in the M to be app. a quasi-pl. n.

رَبِيبٌ Reared, fostered, brought up, fed, or nourished; [and taken good care of, until the age of puberty; (see 1;)] as also ↓ مَرْبُوبٌ; (S, M, K;) both applied to a boy: (S, M:) and in like manner applied to a horse: (M:) or the latter epithet, applied to a horse, (tropical:) tended well, or taken good care of: (A:) the former is also applied to a gazelle; (IAar, K in art. دخل;) [as meaning (assumed tropical:) brought up in, or near, the house or tent, and there fed;] like أَهْلِىٌّ: (TA in that art.:) and [its fem.] رَبِيبَةٌ is applied to a ewe or she-goat, (شَاةٌ, K,) meaning (assumed tropical:) brought up in the tent, or house, for the sake of her milk; (S, K; [see also رُبَّى;]) pl. رَبَائِبُ; (S;) this last being applied to sheep or goats that are tied near to the tents, or houses, and there fed, and that do not go forth to pasture; (M, TA;) of which it is said that none are to be taken for the poor-rate. (TA.) b2: [Hence, A step-son,] a man's wife's son (T, S, M, A, Msb, K) by another husband; (T, S, M, A, K;) as also ↓ رَبُوبٌ: (T, K:) pl. أَرِبَّآءُ. (Msb.) And رَبِيبَةٌ [A step-daughter;] a woman's husband's daughter by another wife: (S:) or a man's wife's daughter (T, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K) by another husband; (T, M, A;) because he rears her: (Mgh:) pl. رَبَائِبُ (A, Mgh, Msb) and sometimes رَبِيبَاتٌ. (Msb.) b3: Also, and ↓ رَابٌّ, (T, M, K,) both syn., like شَهِيدٌ and شَاهِدٌ, and خَبِيرٌ and خَابِرٌ, (TA,) or the latter, (T, S,) mentioned by IAar, is the correct term, (T,) [A step-father;] the husband of a mother (T, S, M, K) who has a child by another husband. (T.) And رَبِيبَةٌ and ↓ رَابَّةٌ, (T,) or the latter [only], (S, K,) [A stepmother;] the wife of a father (T, S, K) who has a child by another wife. (T.) رَبِيبَةٌ also signifies [A foster-mother;] a woman who has the charge of a child, who carries him, and takes care of him, and rears, or fosters, him; (Th, S, M, Msb, K;) like ↓ رَابَّةٌ; the former being of the measure فَعِلَيةٌ in the sense of فَاعِلَةٌ. (Msb.) أَربَّآءُ النَّبِىّ [meaning The foster-fathers of the Prophet] is an appellation given to the people [of the tribe of Saad] among whom Mohammad was suckled; as though اربّآء were pl. of رَبِيبٌ [as it is said to be in one of the senses mentioned above].

قَزْوِينُ:
بالفتح ثم السكون، وكسر الواو، وياء مثناة من تحت ساكنة، ونون: مدينة مشهورة بينها وبين الرّيّ سبعة وعشرون فرسخا وإلى أبهر اثنا عشر فرسخا، وهي في الإقليم الرابع، طولها خمس وسبعون درجة، وعرضها سبع وثلاثون درجة، قال ابن الفقيه: أول من استحدثها سابور ذو الأكتاف واستحدث أبهر أيضا، قال: وحصن قزوين يسمّى كشرين بالفارسية وبينه وبين الديلم جبل كانت ملوك الأرض تجعل فيه رابطة من الأساورة يدفعون الديلم إذا لم يكن بينهم هدنة ويحفظون بلدهم من اللصوص، وكان عثمان بن عفان، رضي الله عنه، ولّى البراء بن عازب الرّيّ في سنة 24 فسار منها إلى أبهر ففتحها، كما ذكرنا، ورحل عنها إلى قزوين فأناخ عليها وطلب
أهلها الصلح فعرض عليهم ما أعطى أهل أبهر من الشرائط فقبلوا جميع ذلك إلا الجزية فإنهم نفروا منها، فقال: لا بدّ منها، فلما رأوا ذلك أسلموا وأقاموا مكانهم فصارت أرضهم عشريّة ثم رتب البراء فيهم خمسمائة رجل من المسلمين فيهم طليحة بن خويلد الأسدي وميسرة العائذي وجماعة من بني تغلب وأقطعهم أرضين وضياعا لا حقّ فيها لأحد فعمروا وأجروا أنهارها وحفروا آبارها فسمّوا تنّاءها، وكان نزولهم على ما نزل عليه أساورة البصرة على أن يكونوا مع من شاءوا فصار جماعة منهم إلى الكوفة وحالفوا زهرة بن حويّة فسموا حمراء الديلم وأقام أكثرهم مكانهم، وقال رجل ممن قدم مع البراء:
قد يعلم الدّيلم إذ تحارب ... لما أتى في جيشه ابن عازب
بأنّ ظنّ المشركين كاذب ... فكم قطعنا في دجى الغياهب
من جبل وعر ومن سباسب
قالوا: ولما ولي سعيد بن العاصي بن أميّة الكوفة بعد الوليد بن عقبة غزا الديلم فأوقع بهم وقدم قزوين فمصّرها وجعلها مغزى أهل الكوفة إلى الديلم، وكان موسى الهادي لما سار إلى الرّي قدم قزوين وأمر ببناء مدينة بإزائها فهي تعرف بمدينة موسى وابتاع أرضا يقال لها رستماباذ ووقفها على مصالح المدينة وكان عمرو الرومي تولّاها ثم تولّاها بعده ابنه محمد بن عمرو، وكان المبارك التركي بنى بها حصنا سماه المباركية وبه قوم من مواليه، وحدث محمد ابن هارون الأصبهاني قال: اجتاز الرشيد بهمذان وهو يريد خراسان فاعترضه أهل قزوين وأخبروه بمكانهم من بلد العدوّ وعنائهم في مجاهدتهم وسألوه النظر لهم وتخفيف ما يلزمهم من عشر غلاتهم في القصبة فسار إلى قزوين ودخلها وبنى جامعها وكتب اسمه على بابه في لوح حجر وابتاع بها حوانيت ومستغلات ووقفها على مصالح المدينة وعمارة قبّتها وسورها، قال: وصعد في بعض الأيام القبّة التي على باب المدينة وكانت عالية جدّا فأشرف على الأسواق ووقع النفير في ذلك الوقت فنظر إلى أهلها وقد غلّقوا حوانيتهم وأخذوا سيوفهم وتراسهم وجميع أسلحتهم وخرجوا على راياتهم، فأشفق عليهم وقال:
هؤلاء قوم مجاهدون يجب أن ننظر لهم، واستشار خواصّه في ذلك فأشار كلّ برأي، فقال: أصلح ما يعمل بهؤلاء أن يحطّ عنهم الخراج ويجعل عليهم وظيفة القصبة فقط، فجعلها عشرة آلاف درهم في كل سنة مقاطعة، وقد روى المحدّثون في فضائل قزوين أخبارا لا تصحّ عند الحفّاظ النّقّاد تتضمّن الحثّ على المقام بها لكونها من الثغور وما أشبه ذلك، وقد تركتها كراهة للإطالة إلا أن منها ما روي عن النبي، صلّى الله عليه وسلّم، أنه قال: مثل قزوين في الأرض مثل جنّة عدن في الجنان، وروي عنه أنه قال: ليقاتلن بقزوين قوم لو أقسموا على الله لأبرّ أقسامهم، وكان الحجاج بن يوسف قد أغزى ابنه محمدا الديلم فنزل قزوين وبنى بها مسجدا وكتب اسمه عليه، وهو المسجد الذي على باب دار بني الجنيد ويسمّى مسجد الثور، فلم يزل قائما حتى بنى الرشيد المسجد الجامع، وكان الحوليّ بن الجون غزا قزوين فقال:
وبكر سوانا عراقيّة ... بمنحازها أو بذي قارها
وتغلب حيّ بشطّ الفرات ... جزائرها حول ثرثارها
وأنت بقزوين في عصبة، ... فهيهات دارك من دارها
وقال بعض أهل قزوين يذكرها ويفضلها على أبهر:
نداماي من قزوين طوعا لأمركم،
فإني فيكم قد عصيت نهاتي ... فأحيوا أخاكم من ثراكم بشربة
تندّي عظامي أو تبلّ لهاتي ... أساقيتي من صفو أبهر هاكه،
وإن يك رفق من هناك فهاتي
وقد التزم ما لا يلزمه من الهاء قبل ألف الردف،
وقال الطّرمّاح بن حكيم: ... خليلي مدّ طرفك هل ترى لي
ظعائن باللوى من عوكلان؟ ... ألم تر أنّ عرفان الثّريّا
يهيّج لي بقزوين احتزاني؟
وينسب إلى قزوين خلق لا يحصون، منهم الخليل ابن عبد الله بن الخليل أبو يعلى القزويني، روى عن أبي الحسن عليّ بن أحمد بن صالح المقري وغيره، روى عنه الإمام أبو بكر بن لال الفقيه الهمذاني حكاية في معجمه وسمع هو من ابن لال الكبير، قال شيرويه: قال حدّثنا عنه ابنه أبو زيد الواقد بن الخليل الخطيب وأبو الفتح بن لال وغيرهما من القزوينيّين وكان فهما حافظا ذكيّا فريد عصره في الفهم والذكاء، قال شيرويه في تاريخ همذان: ومن أعيان الأئمة من أهل قزوين محمد بن يزيد بن ماجة أبو عبد الله القزويني الحافظ صاحب كتاب السنن، سمع بدمشق هشام بن عمّار ودحيما والعباس بن الوليد الخلّال وعبد الله بن أحمد بن بشير بن ذكوان ومحمود بن خالد والعباس بن عثمان وعثمان بن إسماعيل بن عمران الذّهلي وهشام بن خالد وأحمد بن أبي الحواري، وبمصر أبا طاهر بن سرح ومحمد بن رويح ويونس بن عبد الأعلى، وبحمص محمد بن مصفّى وهشام بن عبد الملك اليزني وعمرا ويحيى ابني عثمان، وبالعراق أبا بكر بن أبي شيبة وأحمد بن عبدة وإسماعيل بن أبي موسى الفزاري وأبا خيثمة زهر بن حرب وسويد بن سعيد وعبد الله ابن معاوية الجمحي وخلقا سواهم، روى عنه أبو الحسن عليّ بن إبراهيم بن سلمة القطّان وأبو عمرو أحمد بن محمد بن إبراهيم بن حكيم وأبو الطيب أحمد ابن روح البغدادي، قال ابن ماجة، رحمه الله:
عرضت هذه النسخة، يعني كتابه في السنن، على أبي زرعة فنظر فيه وقال: أظنّ هذه إن وقعت في أيدي الناس تعطّلت هذه الجوامع كلها، أو قال أكثرها، ثم قال: لعله لا يكون فيه تمام ثلاثين حديثا مما في إسناده ضعف، أو قال عشرين أو نحو هذا من الكلام، قال جعفر بن إدريس في تاريخه:
مات أبو عبد الله بن ماجة يوم الاثنين ودفن يوم الثلاثاء لثمان بقين من رمضان سنة 273، وسمعته يقول ولدت في سنة 209.

(K.) b2: أَرُضَ, inf. n. أَرَاضَةٌ, is also said of a man, meaning (assumed tropical:) He was, or became, lowly, or submissive, and naturally disposed to good, or to do good. (L, TA,) A2: أَرَضَ الأَرْضَ He found the land to be abundant in herbage, or pasture. (K.) A3: أُرِضَتِ الخَشَبَةُ, (S, A, Msb, TA,) in the pass. form, (Msb,) like عُنِى, (TA,) aor. ـْ (S, TA,) inf. n. أَرْضٌ, (S, A, TA,) with sukoon [to the ر]; (S, TA;) and some add أَرِضَت, aor. ـْ inf. n. as above; (TA; [and so in a copy of the S in the place of what here precedes;]) The piece of wood was, or became, eaten by the أَرَضَة, q. v. (S, A, Msb, TA.) A4: أَرِضَتِ القَرْحَةٌ, (S, M. K,) aor. ـَ (S, K,) inf. n. أَرَضٌ, (S, M,) The ulcer, or sore, became blistered, (S, M, K,) and wide, (M,) and corrupt (S, M, K) by reason of thick purulent matter, (S,) and dissundered; (M;) so says As; (TA;) as also ↓ استأرضت. (Sgh, K.) A5: أُرِضَ, like عُنِىَ, (K,) inf. n. أَرْضٌ; (TA;) or أَرِضَ, like سَمِعَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. أَرْضٌ; (L;) He was, or became, affected with زُكَام [or rheum]. (L, K.) 2 ارّض, (TK,) inf. n. تَأْرِيضٌ, (K,) He depastured the herbage of the earth, or land: and he sought after it: (K:) or, accord. to some, تَأْرِيضٌ denotes this latter signification with respect to a place of alighting, or abiding: (TA:) and you say [also], المَنْزِلَ ↓ تأرّض he sought after, and chose, the place for alighting, or abiding: (M, TA:) and لِلْمَنْزِلِ ↓ تَرَكْتُ الحَىَّ يَتَأَرَّضُونَ I left the tribe seeking after a tract of country in which to alight, or abide.

A3: آرَضَهُ, (S, K, [in the CK, incorrectly, اَرَضَهُ,]) inf. n. as above, (S,) He (God) caused him to be affected with زُكَام [or rheum]. (S, K.) 5 تارّض It (herbage) became in such a state that it might be cut. (S, K.) A2: He clave, or kept, to the ground, not quitting it: (A:) and ↓ آرض, inf. n. إِيرَاضٌ, he remained upon the ground: and تأرّض بِالمَكَانِ he remained fixed in the place, not quitting it: or he waited, or expected, and stood upon the ground: and, as also بالمكان ↓ استأرض, he remained, and tarried, or tarried in expectation, in the place: or he remained fixed therein: (TA:) and تأرّض alone, he tarried, loitered, stayed, waited, or paused in expectation: (S, TA:) and he was, or became, heavy, slow, or sluggish, inclining, or propending, to the ground; (S, K;) [as also ↓ استأرض, accord. to IB's explanation of its act. part. n.] You say, فُلَانٌ إِنْ رَأَى

A2: See also 1, first signification: A3: and see 1 again, last signification but one.

الأَرْضُ [The earth;] that whereon are mankind: (TA:) [and earth, as opposed to heaven: and the ground, as meaning the surface of the earth, on which we tread and sit and lie; and the floor: without ال signifying a land, or country: and a piece of land or ground: and land, or soil, or ground, considered in relation to its quality:] it is fem.: (S, A, Msb, K:) and is a coll. gen. n.; (S, A, K;) of which the n. un. should be أَرْضَةٌ, but this they did not say: (S:) or a pl. having no sing.; (A, K;) for أَرْضَةٌ has not been heard: (K:) its pl. is أَرَضَاتٌ, (S, K,) in [some of] the copies of the K أَرْضَاتٌ, (TA,) for they sometimes form the pl. of a word which has not the fem. ة with ا and ت, as in the instance of عُرُسَاتٌ; (S;) and أَرَضُونَ, [which is more common,] (Az, AHn, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) with fet-h to the ر, (Az, AHn, Mgh, Msb,) and with و and ن, though a fem. has not its pl. formed [regularly] with و and ن unless it is of the defective kind, like ثُبَةٌ and ظُبَةٌ, but they have made the و and ن [in this instance] a substitute for the ا and ت which they have elided [from أَرَضَاتٌ], and have left the fet-hah of the ر as it was; (S;) but they also said أَرْضُونَ, (Az, AHn, S,) sometimes, making the ر quiescent; (S;) and أُرُوضٌ (Az, AHn, Msb, K) is sometimes used as a pl., as in the saying مَا أَكْثَرَ أُرُوضَ بَنِى

فُلَانٍ [How many are the lands of the sons of such a one!]; (TA;) and another [and very common] pl. is [أَرَاضٍ, with the article written]

الأَرَاضِى, contr. to rule, (S, Msb, K,) as though they had formed a pl. from آرُضٌ; (S;) thus written in all the copies of the S; [accord. to SM; but in one copy of the S, I find كَأَنَّهُمْ جَمَعُوا ااراضًا; and in another, ارضًا;] and in one copy [is added], “ thus it is found in his [J's] handwriting; ” but IB says that correctly he should have said أَرْضَى, like أَرْطَى; for as to آرُضٌ, its regular pl. would be أَوَارِضُ; and [SM says] I have found it observed in a marginal note to the S that the pl. of آرُضٌ would be أَآرِضُ, like as أَكَالِبُ is pl. of أَكْلُبٌ; and wherefore did he not say that الاراضى is a pl. of an unused sing., like لَيَالٍ and أَهَالٍ, so that it is as though it were pl. of أَرْضَاةٌ, like as لَيَالٍ is pl. of لَيْلَاةٌ? yet if any one should propose the plea that it may be formed by transposition from أَآرِضُ, he would not say what is improbable; its measure being in this case أَعَالِفُ; the word being أَرَاضِئُ, and the ء being changed into ى: (TA:) accord. to Abu-l-Khattáb, (S,) آرَاضٌ is also a pl. of أَرْضٌ, (S, K,) like as آهَالٌ is a pl. of أَهْلٌ; (S;) but IB says that, in the opinion of the critics, the truth with respect to what is related on the authority of Abu-l-Khattáb is, that from أَرْضٌ and أَهْلٌ are formed أَرَاضٍ and أَهَالٍ, as though they were pls. of أَرْضَاةٌ and أَهْلَاةٌ; like as they said لَيْلَةٌ and لَيَال, as though this were pl. of لَيْلَاةٌ. (TA.) It is said in proverbs, أَجْمَعُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ [More comprehensive than the earth]: (TA:) and آمَنُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ [More trustworthy than the earth, in which treasures are securely buried]: and أَشَدُّ مِنَ الأَرْضِ [Harder than the earth, or ground]: (A, TA:) and أَذَلُّ مِنَ الأَرْضِ [More vile, or more submissive, than the earth, or ground]. (TA.) And you say, مَنْ أَطَاعَنِى كُنْتُ لَهُ أَرْضَا (tropical:) [Whoso obeyeth me, I will be to him as ground whereon one treads]; denoting submissiveness. (A, TA.) And فُلَانٌ إِنٌ ضُرِبَ فَأَرْضٌ (tropical:) [Such one, if he be beaten, is like ground]; i. e. he cares not for beating. (A, TA.) One says also, لَا أَرْضَ لَكَ [Mayest thou have no land, or country! or thou hast no land, or country]; like as one says, لَا أُمَّ لَكَ. (S, K,) b2: [And hence,] هُوَ ابْنُ أَرْضٍ He is a stranger, (A, K, TA,) of whom neither father nor mother is known. (TA.) b3: اِبْنُ الأَرْضِ [with the art. ال prefixed to the latter word] is A certain plant, (AHn, K,) which comes forth upon the summits of the [hills called] آكَام, having a stem (أَصْل), but not growing tall, (AHn,) which resembles hair, and is eaten, (AHn, K,) and quickly dries up; (AHn;) a species of بَقْل, as also بِنْتُ الأَرْضِ: (S in art. بنى:) and بَنَاتُ الأَرْضِ plants: (M in art. بسر:) and the places which are concealed from the pastor. (S in that art.) Also The pool that is left by a torrent: (T in art. بنى:) and بَنَاتُ الأَرْضِ pools in which are remains of water: (IAar in TA art. بسر:) and rivulets. (T in art. بنى.) b4: أَرْضٌ is also used to signify (assumed tropical:) A carpet; or anything that is spread: and in this sense, in poetry, it is sometimes made masc. (Msb.) b5: And (assumed tropical:) Anything that is low. (S, K.) And (tropical:) The lower, or lowest, part of the legs of a horse or the like: (S, K:) or the legs of a camel or of a horse or the like: and the part that is next to the ground thereof. (TA.) You say بَعِيرٌ شَدِيدُ الأَرْضِ (tropical:) A camel strong in the legs. (TA.) And فَرَسٌ بَعِيدٌ مَا بَيْمَ أَرْضِهِ وَسَمَائِهِ (tropical:) A horse that is large and tall. (A, TA.) b6: Also, of a man, (tropical:) The knees and what is beneath, or below, (lit. after,) them. (TA.) b7: And of a sandal, (assumed tropical:) [The lower surface of the sole;] the part that touches the ground. (TA.) A2: A febrile shivering; a tremor: (S, K:) or vertigo: or it signifies also vertigo arising from a relaxed state, and occasioning a defluxion from the nose and eyes. (TA.) I'Ab is related to have said, on the occasion of an earthquake, أَزُلْزِلَتِ الأَرْضُ أَمْ بِى أَرْضٌ, (S,) i. e. [Hath the earth been made to quake, or is there in me] a tremor? or a vertigo? (TA.) [أَهْلُ الأَرْضِ signifies A certain class of the jinn, or genii; by whom human beings are believed to be possessed, and affected by an involuntary tremor; whence it seems that this appellation may perhaps be from أَرْضٌ as signifying “ a tremor. ”

Animalium &c., p. 96,) termes arda, destructor; and this] is like a large common ant, having wings; it is the bane of everything that is of wood, and of plants; except that it does not attack what is moist, or succulent; and it has legs: (AHn, TA:) the pl. is ↓ أَرَضٌ (AHn, Msb, TA) and أَرَضَاتٌ; (Msb;) or, as some [more properly] say, أَرَضٌ is a quasi-pl.
