Sh remarks that this [verb تجيب, or the
inf. n. جيب,] is not from الجَيْبُ [meaning “ the opening at the neck and bosom ” of a shirt &c.], because its medial radical is و, and that of الجيب is ى: (
TA:) [i. e., جاب,

K:) a
prov., and therefore not to be rehearsed otherwise than in the original way, as above: [not to be altered by the substitution of إِجَابَةٌ or إِجَابًا for جَابَةً:] its origin is said to have been this: Sahl [or Suheyl] Ibn-' Amr had an insane son; and a man said to him, أَيْنَ
أَمُّكَ, i. e. “ Whither is thy tending? ” to which he (thinking that he said, أَيْنَ أُمُّكَ [“ Where is thy mother ! ”],) answered, “She is gone to buy flour: ” whereupon his father uttered the words of this

analogy, the mode, or manner, of answering or replying or responding]. (
S.) جَوَابٌ An answer, a reply, or a response, (
Msb,
TA, *) to a letter, or writing, and to a saying, or question; and this is either affirmative or negative: (
Msb:) [
accord. to some, it is only after a question or demand; but this is not correct; for it is often a reply to an affirmation:] ↓ جِيبَةٌ [
q. v.] is
syn. therewith; (
S,
K;) and so are ↓ جَابَةٌ [
q. v.] and ↓ مَجُوبَةٌ: (
K:) the
pl. of جواب is أَجْوِبَةٌ and جَوَابَاتٌ (
Msb.) [Hence, in grammar, حَرْفُ جَوَابٍ A responsive, or replicative,

pl.] جَوَائِبُ (assumed
tropical:) Tidings from afar. (

TA.) أَجْوَبُ, [see 4,] in the following question, put to Mohammad, (
TA,) أَىُّاللَّيْلِ أَجْوَبُ دَعْوَةً is either from جُبْتُ الأَرْضَ (
K,
TA) “ I traversed the land,” (
TA,) and signifies (
tropical:) More, or most, penetrating to the places whence the answer is imagined to proceed; (
K,
TA;) or [it signifies more, or most, quick in being answered,] from الدَّعْوَةُ ↓ جَابَتِ, of the measure فَعُلَت, [i. e., originally جَوُبَت,] “ the prayer became answered,”
which, however, is a verb not in use, like as فَقِيرٌ and شَدِيدٌ are imagined to be derived from فَقُرَ and شَدُدَ: (
Z,
TA:) or it signifies more, or most, quick of answer, [from أَجَابَ,] and is [
anomalous, and] similar to أَطْوَعُ [“ more obedient ”], from الطَّاعَةُ, [i. e. from أَطَاعَ “ he obeyed,”] (
M,
L,
TA,) and to أَعْطَى [“ more, or most, excellent in giving,” from أَعْطَى “ he gave ”], and لَوَاقِحَ [
pl. of لَاقِحَةٌ a “ fecundating ” wind, (in the
Kur xv. 22,) from أَلْقَحَ “ he, or it, fecundated ”], (
M,
L,
K,
TA,) and the like; (
M,
L,
TA;) and if so, the word is
anomalous because a word of the measure أَفْعَلُ of this kind is not derived from a verb of more than three letters, except in certain cases of deviation from the constant course of speech: (
L,
TA:) the meaning is, (
tropical:) What part of the night is that [in which prayer most quickly penetrates? or] in which prayer is most quick in being answered? (
Mgh:) or what part of the night is that in which God is most quick in answering prayer? (
L,
TA.) مَجُوبُ [
