accord. to two different relations, admits of two interpretations: one is, (assumed
tropical:) Pause thou, and wait for the completion of the عِدَّة [
q. v.] of decease; and this is
accord. to the persuasion of those who say that her عدّة is the more remote of the two periods, which is the persuasion of 'Alee and
I'Ab: the second is, from
رَبَــعَ الرّجُلُ signifying “ the man had, or obtained, abundance of herbage,” and the meaning is, (assumed
tropical:) relieve thou thyself, and release thyself from the straitness of the عدّة, and the evil of thy condition; and this is
accord. to the persuasion of those who hold that her عدّة is the nearer of the two periods; and hence 'Omar said, “If she bring forth when her husband is on his bier, meaning, not buried, it is allowable for her to marry. ” (
TA.) It is also said, in another
trad., لَا يَـ
ـرْبَــعُ عَلَى ظَلْعِكَ مَنْ لَا يُحْزِنُهُ أَمْرُكَ, i. e. (assumed

رْبَــعْ, i. e. (assumed

accord. to one relation, it is ↓ فَأَـ
ـرْبِــعْ: and

رْبَــعْهُ, i. e., then add; for she is very weak in understanding; if she understand not, then make thou the two speeches to be four: Aboo-Sa'eed says, فَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْهَمْ بَعْدَ الأَـ
ـرْبَــعَةِ فَالْمِـ
ـرْبَــعَة, i. e., [and if she understand not after the four, then] the stick [is to be used; or, then use thou the stick]: the
prov. applies to the hearing and answering in an evil manner. (
TA.) You say also,
رَبَــعَتْ عَلَى عَقْلِ فُلَانٍ وَكَسَرَ فِيهَا
رِبَــاعَهُ,

رَبِــيعٌ: see
رُبْــعٌ, in two places.
A2: It has also a twofold application; to months and to seasons: and it has a twofold application to months; denoting Two months, (
S,
Msb,
K,) [next] after
صَفَرٌ; (
S,
K;) and they say, (
Msb,) one should only say, in speaking of them, شَهْرُ
رَبِــيعٍ الأَوَّلُ and شَهْرُ
رَبِــيعٍ الآخِرٌ; (
S,
Msb,
K;) [but in the margin of the copy of the
S which I have here followed, I find it stated that in the handwriting of the author the former is شهر
ربــيعِ الاول (with a single kesreh, and with no syll. sign to الاول); and in another copy of the
S I find شهرُ
ربــيع الاولِ and شَهرُ
رَبــيع الآخِر;] with the addition of شهر: but it is allowable to say also شَهْرُ
رَبِــيعِ الأَوَّلِ and شَهْرُ
رَبِــيعِ الآخِرِ: the word شهر is necessarily added in order to discriminate between the months thus called and the season called
ربــيع:
Az says, the Arabs mention all the months without the word شهر except the two months of
ربــيع and the month of رَمَضَان: and they say also شَهْرَا
رَبِــيعٍ and أَشْهُرُ
رَبِــيعٍ and شُهُورُ
رَبِــيعٍ: (
Msb:) these months were thus called because, when they received this name, they occurred in the season when the earth produced herbage. (
Msb in art. جمد.) It has a twofold application also to seasons; الـ
ـرَّبِــيعُ الأَوَّلُ being The season in which the truffles and the blossoms come, (
S,
Msb,
K,) and this is [also called]
رَبِــيعُ الكَلَأِ [the rabeea of the herbage, properly called the spring of Arabia]; (
S;) and الـ
ـرَّبِــيعُ الثَّانِى The season in which fruits ripen; (
S,
Msb,
K;) [also called
رَبِــيعُ الثِّمَارِ;] but some people call this الـ
ـرَّبِــيعُ الأَوَّلُ; (
S,
TA;) and the season which follows the winter, and in which the truffles and the blossoms come, they call الـ
ـرَّبِــيعُ الثَّانِى; but all of them agree that the خَرِيف [or autumn] is called الـ
ـرَّبِــيعُ:
AHn says, the two divisions of the winter [by which he means the half-year commencing at the autumnal equinox] are called
رَبِــيعَانِ; the former being
رَبِــيعُ المَآءِ وَالأَمْطَار ِ [the rabeea of the water and the rains, in which the rain called الوَسْمِىّ, which is termed the first of the rains, commences]; and the second being
رَبِــيعُ النَّبَاتِ [or
رَبِــيعُ الكَلَأِ the rabeea of the herbage], because the herbage therein attains to its last stage: and he adds, that
رَبِــيعٌ is applied by the Arabs to the whole winter, [meaning, again, the half-year commencing at the autumnal equinox,] because of the moisture, or rain: (
TA:) or the year consists of six seasons; (so in the
K; but in the
S, “and I heard Abu-l-Ghowth say, the Arabs make the year to be six seasons; ”) two months thereof are called الـ
ـرَّبِــيعُ الأَوَّلُ; and two months, صَيْفٌ; and two months, قَيْظٌ; (
S,
K;) and two months,
ربــيع الثانى, (so in a copy of the
S,) or
رَبِــيعٌ الثّانى, (so in another copy of the
S, [but in the margin of this latter, I find it stated that in the handwriting of the author it is
ربــيعُ الثانى, without tenween,]) or الـ
ـرَّبِــيعُ الثَّانِى; (
K;) and two months, خَرِيفٌ; and two months, شِتَآءٌ. (
S,
K.)
Az relates, with respect to the seasons and divisions of the year, on the authority of Aboo-Yahyà Ibn-Kibáseh, who possessed very great knowledge thereof, that the year consists of four seasons; namely, الـ
ـرَّبِــيعُ الأَوَّلُ, which the vulgar call الخَرِيفُ
[The autumn]; then الشِّتَآءُ [the winter]; then
الصَّيْفُ, which is الـ
ـرَّبِــيعُ الآخِرُ [or الثَّانِى, i. e. the spring]; then القَيْظُ [the summer, or hot season]: all this is what the Arabs in the desert say: the
ربــيع which is with the Persians the خريف, he says, commences on the third of أَيْلُول [September O.
S.]; and the شِتَآء, on the third of كَانُون الأَوَّل [December O.
S.]; and the صيف which is with the Persians the
ربــيع. on the fifth of آذَار [March O.
S.]; and the قيظ which is with the Persians the صيف, on the fourth of حَزِيرَان [June O.
S.]: and Aboo-Yahyà adds, the
ربــيع of the people of El-' Irák agrees with the
ربــيع of the Persians, which is after the شتاء [or winter], and which is the season of the flowers, or roses, and is the most temperate of the seasons: the people of El-' Irák, he says, have rain in all the winter, and have abundance of herbage in the خريف, which the Arabs call الـ
ـربــيع الاوّل: and
Az says, the quarter of the خريف is called خريف because the fruits are gathered therein; and the Arabs call it
ربــيع because the first rain [which is called الوَسْمِىّ] falls therein. (
TA.) The
pl. of
ربــيع is أَـ
ـرْبِــعَةٌ [a
pl. of pauc.] and أَـ
ـرْبِــعَآءُ [a
pl. of mult.] (
S,
Msb,
K) and
رِبَــاعٌ; (
AHn,
K;) or the first of these is
pl. of
ربــيع الكلأ (
Fr, Yaakoob,
S,
Msb,
K) and of the
ربــيع of the months; (
Fr,
Msb;) but the second is
pl. of
ربــيع in the sense of جَدْوَلٌ, to be explained below. (
Fr, Yaakoob,
S,
Msb,
K.) Hence the phrase in a supplication, mentioned in a
trad., اَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلِ القُرْآنَ
رَبِــيعَ قَلْبِى
[O God, make Thou the
Kur-án to be the life, or ease, of my heart]; because the heart of man becomes lively, or at ease, in the season called
رَبِــيع. (
TA.) Hence also, (
TA,) أَبُو الـ

K;) because it appears with the [season called]
ربــيع. (

masc.: (
Fr:) Aboo-Ziyád used to say, مَضَى الأَـ
ـرْبِــعَآءُ بِمَا فِيهِ [Wednesday passed with what (occurred) in it], making it
sing. and
masc. [because he meant thereby يَوْمُ الأَـ
ـرْبِــعَآءُ]; but Abu-l-Jarráh used to say, مَضَتِ الأَـ
ـرْبِــعَآءُ بِمَا فِيهِنَّ, making it

pl., and employing it like a
