i. q. يَقْطِينٌ [
q. v.]: or it is the fruit of the يقطين: (
TA:)
n. un. of the former with ة. (
M,
K.)

M:) and this passage of the
Kur refutes the assertion of him who excludes the bird from the significations of this word: (
Msb:) in the last verse but one of ch. xxxv. of the
Kur, it is said to relate to mankind and the jinn (or genii) and every rational being; or to have a general signification: (
M:) its predominant signification is a beast that is ridden: (
S,
M,
A,
K:) especially a beast of the equine kind; i. e. a horse, a mule, and an ass: (
Kull:) or particularly a بِرْذَوْن [meaning hackney, or horse for ordinary use and for journeying: (
M:) but as particularly applied, when used absolutely, to a horse and a mule, it is an adventitious conventional term: (
Msb:) it is applied to a male and a female: (
M,
A,
Msb,
K:) and is properly an
epithet: (
M:)
pl. دَوَابُّ. (
Msb,
TA.) The
dim. [signifying Any small animal that walks or creeps or crawls upon the earth, a small beast, a small reptile or creeping thing, a creeping insect, and any insect, and also a mollusk, a shell-fish (as in an instance cited
voce مَحَارَةٌ in art. حور) and the like,] is ↓ دُوَيْبَّةٌ, (
Zj,
T,
Msb,) in which the ى is quiescent, but pronounced with إِشْمَام [i. e. a slight approximation to the sound of kesr], as it is in every similar case, in a
dim. n., when followed by a doubled letter: (
Zj,
T:) and ↓ دُوَابَّةٌ also has been heard, with the ى changed into ا anomalously. (
Msb; and
L in art. هد, on the authority of
ISd.)
b2: دَابَّةُ الأَرْضِ [The Beast of the Earth] is an appellation of one of the signs of the time of the resurrection: (
S,
M,
K:) or the first of those signs. (
K.) It is said to be a beast sixty cubits in length, or height, with legs, and with fur (وَبَر), and to be diverse in form, resembling a number of different animals. (
TA.) It will come forth in Tihámeh, or between Es-Safà and ElMarweh, (
M,) or at Mekkeh, from Jebel Es-Safà, which will rend open for its egress, during one of the nights when people are going to Minè; or from the district of Et-
Táïf; (
K) or from three places, three several times. (
M,
K.) It will make, upon the face of the unbeliever, a black mark; and upon the face of the believer, a white mark: the unbeliever's mark will spread until his whole face becomes black; and the believer's, until his whole face becomes white: then they will assemble at the table, and the believer will be known from the unbeliever. (
M.) It is also said that it will have with it the rod of Moses and the seal of Solomon: with the former it will strike the believer; and with the latter it will stamp the face of the unbeliever, impressing upon it “ This is an unbeliever. ” (
K.)

q. v.
أَدَبٌّ Having down (
K,
TA) upon the face: (
TA:) or having much hair: (
M,
K:) and having much وَبَر [or fur]: (
M:) it is applied to a man: (
M:) and to a camel, (
M,
K,) in the second of these senses, (
K,
TA,) or in the third sense, or as meaning having much fur upon the face; (
TA;) or
i. q. أَزَبُّ: (
M:) and occurs in a
trad. written أَدْبَب, (
M,
K,) to assimilate it in measure to a preceding word, namely, حَوْءَب: (
M:) the
fem. is دَبَّآءُ; with which ↓ دَبِبَةٌ is
syn.; (
M,
K;) signifying a woman having hair upon her face: (
TA:) or having much hair upon the جَبِين [or part above the temple]. (

TA.) The
subst. is with kesr; and the
inf. n., with fet-h;
accord. to a rule constantly obtaining, (
S, *
K, *
TA,) except in some
anomalous instances, (
TA,) when the verb is of the measure فَعَلَ (
S,
K,
TA) or فَعِلَ, (
TA,) and its
aor. is of the measure يَفْعِلُ. (
S,
K,
TA.) [Here it should be observed that مَجْرًى, given as the explanation of مَدِبٌّ and مَدَبٌّ in the
K, is both an
inf. n. and a
n. of place and of time: but
J clearly explains both these words as above; and
F seems, in the
K, to assign to them both the same signification.]
أَرْضٌ مَدَبَّةٌ A land abounding with دِبَبَة [or bears]. (
T,
S,
M. *) مُدَبَّبٌ, like مُعَظَّمٌ, (

T, according to the
TT,) an
epithet applied to a camel, (
T,
TA,) signifying الذى يمشى دبادب (
TA) [
app. دَبَادِبَ, and if so it seems to mean That walks quickly, with short steps: or that makes a sound with his feet, like دُبْ دُبْ: see دَبْدَبَةٌ: but in the
TT it is written دَباْ دَباْ; perhaps correctly دَبًّا دَبًّا, creeping and creeping].
