1 صَبَــا, (S, M, K,) aor. ـْ inf. n. صَبْــوَةٌ, (S,) or صَبْــوٌ, (M, K,) and صُبُــوٌّ (S, M, K) and صِبًــا [also written صِبًــى, in the CK (erroneously) صَبًــى,] and صَبَــآءٌ, (M, K,) [app., in its primary acceptation, He was a youth, or boy, or child; agreeably with an explanation of a phrase in what follows, and with explanations of صِبًــا and صَبَــآءٌ which will be found below: b2: and hence,] He was, or became, youthfully ignorant, or foolish, or silly: (M, K:) [and, as seems to be indicated in the TA, he indulged in amorous dalliance; a sense in which the verb, more especially with صِبًــا (q. v. infrà) for its inf. n., is very frequently used:] or he inclined to ignorant, or foolish, or silly, and youthful, conduct; and in like manner ↓ تصابى; from الــصِّبَــا, which is from الشَّوْق [i. e. “ desire ”]: (S: [see an ex. of the inf. n. of the latter verb in a verse cited voce شَابَ, in art. شيب:]) or صِبًــا and صَبَــآءٌ, as inf. ns., signify the inclining the heart to any one; and have other significations expl. in what follows: and ↓ تَصَابٍ signifies the manifesting passionate love, and desire: (KL:) [but صِبًــا and صَبَــآءٌ are often used in different senses: thus Et-Tebreezee says that] in the following hemistich of a poem by Dureyd Ibn-Es-Simmeh, صَبَــا مَا صَبَــا حَتَّى عَلَا الشَّيْبُ رَأْسَهُ the first صبــا may be from الــصِّبَــى [or الــصِّبَــا], and the second صبــا from الــصَّبَــآءُ signifying الفَتَآءُ; so that the meaning may be, He engaged in play, or sport, and الــصِّبَــى [or amorous dalliance, &c.], as long as he was a youth, [until hoariness came upon his head;] or the meaning may be, he engaged in الــصِّبِــى as long as he engaged therein, &c. (Ham p. 380.)

صَبًــا [is of the fem. gender, and] is a subst. and an epithet, [so that one says رِيحٌ صَبًــا, as well as صَبًــا alone and رِيحُ الــصَّبَــا,] (M, TA,) [and signifies The east wind: or an easterly wind:] the wind that blows from the place of sunrise: (Msb:) or the wind of which the mean place whence it blows is the place where the sun rises when the night and day are equal; the opposite wind of which is the دَبُور: (S:) or the wind that faces the House [of God, i. e. the Kaabeh; app. meaning that blows from the point opposite to the corner, of the Kaabeh, that is between the Black Stone and the door]; as though yearning towards the House: (M, TA:) or, accord. to IAar, (M,) the wind of which the place whence it blows extends from the place of rising of الثُّرَيَّا [or the Pleiades] to [the place of] بَنَات نَعْش [meaning the tail of Ursa Major]: (M, K:) [it is often commended by poets as a gentle and pleasant gale, like the Zephyr with us:] the dual is صَبَــوَانِ and صَبَــيَانِ: (Lh, M, K:) and pl. صَبَــوَاتٌ and أَــصْبَــآءٌ. (M, K.) صِبًــا [also written صِبًــى] and ↓ صَبَــآءٌ, the former with kesr and the short alif, and the latter with fet-h and the long alif, (S, Msb,) [both mentioned before as inf. ns.,] Youth, or boyhood; the state of the صَبِــىّ [q. v.]: (S:) or childhood. (Msb.) One says, كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فِى صِبَــاهُ and صَبَــائِهِ [That was in his youth or boyhood: or in his childhood]. (Msb.) [See also an ex. in a verse cited in the first paragraph of art. شفع.] b2: And the former [or each, as is shown in the first sentence of this art.,] has also a signification derived from الشَّوْقُ [or “ desire; ” i. e., each signifies also An inclining to ignorant, or foolish, or silly, and youthful, conduct; and amorous dalliance]: (S:) and ↓ صَبْــوَةٌ signifies [the same, as is also shown in the first sentence of this art., or, like صِبًــا and صَبَــآءٌ,] the ignorance, or foolishness, or silliness, of youth; (Lth, M, K;) and amorous dalliance.

صَبْــوَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

صَبَــآءٌ: see صَبًــا.

صَبِــىٌّ A youth, boy, or male child; syn. غُلَامٌ: (S:) or a young male child; (Mgh, Msb;) before he is called غُلَام: (Mgh:) or one that has not yet been weaned, (M, K,) so called from the time of his birth: (M:) and ↓ صَابٍ signifies the same as صَبِــىٌّ; these two words being like قَادِرٌ and قَدِيرٌ: (TA:) the pl. of the former is صِبْــيَةٌ [a pl. of pauc., in which the و is changed into ى because of the kesreh before it, like as is said in the M respecting another of the pls.,] (S, M, Msb, K, but not in the CK,) and صِبْــوَةٌ (M, K, TA, in the CK صَبْــوَةٌ,) and صُبْــيَةٌ (M, K) and صَبْــيَةٌ, (K, TA, but not in the CK,) [or rather the last two are quasi-pl. ns.,] and أَــصْبٍ [another pl. of pauc.] (K) and أَــصْبِــيَةٌ [also a pl. of pauc.], (M, K,) but this last is said by J to have been unused, because the usage of صِبْــيَةٌ rendered it needless, (TA,) and صِبْــيَانٌ, (S, M, Msb, K, but not in the CK,) in which the و is changed into ى because of the kesreh before it, (M,) and صُبْــيَانٌ, (M, K,) as some say, preserving the ى notwithstanding the dammeh, (M,) and صِبْــوَانٌ (M, K, but not in the CK,) and صُبْــوَانٌ: (M, K:) and [ISd says,] accord. to Sb, the dim. of صِبْــيَةٌ is ↓ أُصَيْبِيَةٌ, and that of أَــصْبِــيَةٌ is ↓ صُبَــيَّةٌ, each irreg.; but in my opinion, صُبَــيَّةٌ is the dim. of صِبْــيَةٌ, and أُصَيْبِيَةٌ is that of أَــصْبِــيَةٌ: (M:) [J says,] أُصَيْبِيَةٌ occurs in poetry as being the dim. of أَــصْبِــيَةٌ.

(TA.) And (assumed tropical:) A bone below the lobe, or lobule, of each of the two ears: (K:) or, as some say, the head of the bone that is below the lobe, or lobule, of each of the two ears by the space of about three fingers put together.

(TA voce صَابِئٌ.) b4: صُبَّــى, a pl. of صَابٍ, is expl. as meaning Those who incline to conflicts and factions, seditions, or the like, and love to be foremost therein. (TA. [See صُبٌّ, in art. صب.]) الصَّابِيَةُ The oblique wind (النُّكَيْبَآءُ, dim. of النَّكْبَآءُ,) that blows in a direction between that of the east or easterly wind (الــصَّبَــا) and that of the north or northerly wind (الشَّمَال): (S, K:) it is very cold, (S and TA voce نَكْبَآءُ,) and very boisterous, and unattended by rain or by any good.

(L.) b2: And صَبَّــحَكَ اللّٰهُ بِخَيْرٍ (S, * A, Msb) or بِالخَيْرِ (TA) (assumed tropical:) [May God visit thee in the morning with good, or good fortune, or happiness; or make thee to be in, or during, the morning attended with good, &c.; i. e. make thy morning good, or happy; or grant thee a good, or happy, morning]: a prayer for the person thus addressed, (Msb.) b3: And صَبَّــحْتُهُ I said to him عِمْ صَبَــاحًا [expl. below, see صَبَــاحٌ]; (S;) and صَبَّــحَهُمْ he said to them عِمُوا صَبَــاحًا: (K:) or صَبَّــحْتُهُ means I said to him صَبَّــحَكَ اللّٰهُ بِخَيْرٍ [expl. above].

[See صُبْــحٌ.]) A2: تَــصْبِــيحٌ as a subst., see below.4 اصبــح He entered upon the time of morning termed صَبَــاح [which means both dawn and forenoon]: (S, * Msb: [in the former this meaning is indicated, but not expressed:]) or he entered upon the time of daybreak, or dawn, the time termed صُبْــح. (L, K.) By the following words of EshShemmákh, وَقِيلُ المُنَادِى أَــصْبَــحَ القَوْمُ أَدْلِجِى is meant, [And the saying of the crier is,] The people, or party, have nearly entered upon the time of dawn: prosecute the night-journey: for the Arabs, when they have nearly arrived at a place which they desire to reach, say, قَدْ بَلَغْنَاهُ; and when travellers are near the time of daybreak, they say, أَــصْبَــحْنَا. (T, L.) b2: [Hence,] (tropical:) He awoke from sleep in the جَوْف [i. e. last third, or last sixth,] of the night. (A, TA.) [And simply (tropical:) He awoke: for] one says to the sleeper, أَــصْبِــحْ, meaning (tropical:) Awake thou from sleep. (A, TA.) And one says also, أَــصْبِــحْ يَا رَجُلُ, meaning (tropical:) Become roused, O man, (A, K, * TA,) from thy heedlessness or inadvertence, (A, TA,) and see thy right course, (K, TA,) and what will rectify thy state. (TA.) And أَــصْبِــحْ لَيْلُ (tropical:) [Become morning, O night] a prov.: (Meyd, A, TA:) said in a distressing night, that is long by reason of evil. (Meyd. [See Freytag's Arab. Prov., i. 727.]) b3: [Also He, or it, became in the morning in any particular state or condition: in this sense, and in that next following, an incomplete, i. e. a non-attributive, verb.] b4: and [hence, simply,] He, or it, became; syn. صَارَ. (S, K.) One says, اصبــح عَالِمًا He became knowing, or learned. (S, TA.) Thus, فَأَــصْبَــحُوا ظَاهِرِينَ, in the Kur lxi. last verse, means And they became victorious. (Bd.) And فَأَــصْبَــحَ يُقَلِّبُ كَفَّيْهِ, in the Kur xviii. 40, [And he became in a state, or condition, in which he turned over his hands; i. e.] and he became repentant, or grieved for what he had done. (A in art. قلب, and Bd.) And فَأَــصْبَــحُوا لَا تَرَى إِلَّا مَسَاكِنَهُمْ, in the Kur xlvi. 24, i. e. [And they became] in a condition such that, if thou wert present in their country, thou wouldst not see aught save their dwellingplaces; or, as Hamzeh and Ks read, لَا يُرَى إِلَّا مَسَاكِنُهُمْ [there was not to be seen aught save their dwelling-places]. (Bd.) [أَــصْبَــحَ يَفْعَلُ كَذَا is of frequent occurrence, meaning He became occupied, or engaged, in doing such a thing; he betook, set, or applied, himself to doing such a thing; set about, or commenced, doing such a thing; or began to do such a thing.] b5: [Also He performed the prayer of daybreak.] It is said in a trad., أَــصْبِــحُوا بِالــصُّبْــحِ, meaning Perform ye the prayer of daybreak in the time of daybreak. (L.) b6: See also 8. b7: Also He acted gently. (TA in art. ارش: see an ex. in a verse cited voce مَأْروُشٌ.) A2: إِــصْبَــاحٌ He trimmed a lamp, or wick; or prepared it properly for use. (TA.) b2: See, again, 8.

It is said in a trad., مَنْ تَــصَبَّــحَ بِسَبْعِ تَمَرَاتِ عَجْوَةٍ [He who eats as a صُبْــحَة seven dates of the sort called عَجْوَة]. (TA.) A2: See also 8, in two places.6 فُلَانٌ يَتَصَابَحُ and يَتَحَاسَنُ [Such a one affects to be beautful, comely, pretty, or elegant: the latter verb is here added as an explicative of the former: see صَبُــحَ]. (A, TA.) 8 اصطبح He drank a morning-draught, or what is termed a صَبُــوح; (S, K, TA;) [and] so ↓ اصبــح. (Msb. [Thus in my copy of the Msb, but probably a mistranscription, for the former is the verb well known in this sense, and is not in that copy.]) It is said in a trad., مَالَنَا صَبِــىٌّ يَصْطَبِحُ [We have not a child that drinks a morningdraught]; meaning we have not as much milk as a child may drink in the early morning, in consequence of the drought. (TA.) A2: And i. q. أَسْرَجَ [as meaning He lighted a lamp or wick, or himself or another with a lamp &c.]; (K, TA;) and so ↓ اصبــح (A, TA) [in the former sense], as in the phrase اصبــح مِــصْبَــاحًا [he lighted a lamp or wick]; (A;) and اصبــح alone has this meaning, i. e. أَسْرَجَ سِرَاجًا. (TA, from a trad.) [But it is used often in the latter sense:] one says, الشَّمْعُ مِمَّا يُصْطَبَحُ بِهِ Candles are of the things with which one lights [himself, or others]; syn. يُسْرَجُ: (S:) [and in like manner ↓ تــصبّــح; for] one says, هُوَ يَتَــصَبَّــحُ بِالشُّمُوعِ [He lights himself, or others, with candles]: (A:) [and in like manner also ↓ استــصبــح; for] one says, استــصبــح بِالمِــصْبَــاحِ (S, MA, Mgh, Msb, K *) He lighted [himself, or another,] with the lamp, or wick; (MA;) syn. أَسْرَجَ; (S;) or اِسْتَسْرَجَ: (K:) [hence it appears that اصطبح بِهِ and به ↓ استــصبــح and به ↓ تــصبّــح may be aptly rendered he employed it as a means of light; and thus the second of these three verbs, is expl. in treatises on practical law:] one says also, بِالدُّهْنِ ↓ استــصبــح [He employed oil as a means of light; or] he made the lamp, or wick, to give light by means of oil: (Mgh, Msb:) and it is said in a trad. respecting the several sorts of fat (شُحُوم) of carrion, بِهَا النَّاسُ ↓ يَسْتَــصْبِــحُ The people [employ them as means of light; or] make their lamps, or wicks, to give light by means of them. (TA.) 10 إِسْتَــصْبَــحَ see the next preceding paragraph, in four places.11 إِــصْبَــاْحَّ see 1, last sentence but one.

صُبْــحٌ (S, A, Msb, K, &c.) and ↓ صَبَــاحٌ (Msb, K) and ↓ صَبِــيحَةٌ (Msb, * K) and ↓ إِــصْبَــاحٌ and ↓ مُــصْبَــحٌ (K [or perhaps the last should be مَــصْبَــحٌ, q. v.]) Daybreak, or dawn; syn. فَجْرٌ; (S, A, Msb, K;) i. e. (so in the Msb, but in the K “ or ”) the beginning, or first part, of day: (Msb, K:) ↓ إِــصْبَــاحٌ is an inf. n. [inf. n. of أَــصْبَــحَ] used in the sense of صُبْــح, in the Kur vi. 96, (Jel,) and is similar to إِبْكَارٌ; (TA;) [and ↓ مُــصْبَــحٌ is the n. of place and time from أَــصْبَــحَ:] the pl. of صُبْــحٌ is أَــصْبَــاحٌ; (K;) and thus some read in the Kur vi. 96. (Bd.) See also أَــصْبَــحُ. One says, أَتَيْتُهُ لِــصُبْــحِ خَامِسَةٍ and خامسة ↓ لِــصِبْــحِ, (S, K,) meaning [I came to him] in the morning (صَبَــاح) [of the last] of five days; (K;) i. e., of a fifth day; (TK;) [or rather, of a fifth night, as the last word is fem.;] like as one says, لِمُِسْىِ خامسة. (S.) b2: الــصُّبْــحُ is also used as meaning (assumed tropical:) The truth; and the clear, or plain, thing or case. (Ham p. 449.) b3: And أُمُّ صُبْــحٍ is one of the names of Mekkeh.

(TA.) صَبْــحَةٌ: see the next paragraph, in three places. b2: Also A watering of camels in the morning, or first part of day, before sunrise: which is not esteemed by the Arabs wholesome: the time approved by them for watering is when the sun is near the meridian. (TA.) صُبْــحَةٌ The early part of the forenoon, after sunrise; syn. ضُحًى; as also ↓ صَبْــحَةٌ: (Msb:) or the period of one's entering upon the صَبَــاح [which means both dawn and forenoon]: so in the saying, لَقِيتُهُ ذَاتَ صُبْــحَةٍ [I met him when he was entering upon the dawn or forenoon]. (TA.) b2: And A sleep in the morning, or first part of day, before sunrise; as also ↓ صَبْــحَةٌ; (S, * K;) or both signify a sleep in the ضُحَى [expl. above]; (A;) but the latter is by some disapproved: such sleep is forbidden in a trad., because it is in a time for the commemoration of the praises of God and then for seeking gain. (TA.) One says, فُلَانٌ يَنَامُ الــصُّبْــحَةَ and ↓ الــصَّبْــحَةَ [Such a one sleeps in the first part of day, before sunrise]. (S.) b3: and Food with which one contents, or diverts, himself [so as to allay the craving of his stomach], in the morning or first part of day, before sunrise. (K.) b4: See also صَبُــوحٌ.

A2: Also (Suh, K, TA,) and ↓ صَبَــحٌ, (Lth, S, TA,) [each said in one place in the K to be an inf. n. of which the verb is صَبِــحَ,] Blackness inclining to redness: (K:) or intense redness in the hair: (Lth, TA:) or a colour inclining to that which is termed صُهْبَة: (K, TA:) or nearly the same as صُهْبَة: (Lth, * S, * TA:) or a colour inclining to that termed شُهْبَة: (K, TA:) or whiteness that is not clear, or pure; so the former is expl. by Suh. (TA. [See also أَــصَبَــحُ.]) صَبْــحَانُ A man who has drunk a morningdraught, or what is termed a صَبُــوح; (TA;) or who has done so, and satisfied his thirst thereby: (Aboo-'Adnán, TA:) [in the S and K it is implied that it is syn. with مُصْطَبِحٌ, q. v.:] fem.

صَبْــحَى. (S, TA.) Hence the prov., أَكْذَبُ مِنَ الأَخِيذِ الــصَّبْــحَانِ (Aboo-'Adnán, S, TA) More lying than the captive who had satisfied his thirst with a morning-draught: (Aboo-'Adnán, TA:) the person thus alluded to was a man who was among a people that gave him a morning-draught, after which he arose and quitted them, and was taken by another people, who said to him, “ Guide us to the place where thou wast; ” to which he replied, “I have passed the night in the bare desert: ” but presently he sat down to make water, so they knew that he had passed the night with a people near by; and by his means they found their way to them, and exterminated them: (IAar, TA:) or the prov. is أَكْذَبُ مِنَ الأَخِدِ الــصَّبْــحَانِ More lying than the young unweaned camel that has satisfied its thirst with drinking [its mother's milk in the morning]; which [seems to be thirsty but] will not drink of its mother's milk when one desires it to do so: (IAar, Sh, TA:) or, accord. to Fr, than the young unweaned camel that is affected with indigestion, or heaviness of the stomach, from drinking much milk, and therefore craves for milk again. (Meyd. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov.: he seems to have followed a faulty text.]) b2: Also the fem., صَبْــحَى, A she-camel that has been milked [app. in the morning]. (Meyd, in his Proverbs, under the letter ص; and TA.) A2: See also صَبِــيحٌ.

Morning, or forenoon, counted from sunrise to noon: (Msb and TA in art. مسو:) or, accord. to some, from midnight to noon: (TA in art. مسو:) or, accord. to the Arabs, from the beginning of the latter half of the night to the time when the sun declines from the meridian; then commences the مَسَآء, extending to the end of the former half of the night; thus expl. by Th; so says El-Jawá- leekee. (Msb.) The Arabs say, when they regard a man, &c., as ominous of evil, صَبَــاحُ اللّٰهِ لَا صَبَــاحُكَ [God's morning: not thy morning]: and if you will, you may say, صَبَــاحَ اللّٰهِ لَا صَبَــاحَكَ. (Lh, TA.) And عِمْ صَبَــاحًا, (S,) or عِمُوا صَبَــاحًا, (K,) lit. imperative, but meaning a prayer, i. e. May thy life, or your life, be pleasant during the morning, (Har p. 32, and TA * in arts. نعم and وعم,) is a salutation of the people of the Time of Ignorance. (TA.) One says also, لَقِيتُهُ صَبَــاحًا, and ذَا صَبَــاحٍ, (S,) or أَتَيْتُهُ ذَا صَبَــاحٍ, (K,) which [i. e. ذا صبــاح] is only used adverbially, (Sb, S, K,) except in the dial. of Khath'am, (Sb, S,) meaning [I met him, or I came to him,] in a morning, [or] between daybreak and sunrise: (K:) the following verse (S, TA) by Anas Ibn-Nuheyk, of Khath'am, (TA,) or, as some say, by Iyás Ibn-Mudrikeh El-Hanafee, (so in a marg. note in a copy of the S,) presents an exception to the adverbial usage: عَزَمْتُ عَلَى إِقَامَةِ ذِى صَبَــاحٍ

لِأَمْرٍ مَّا يُسَوَّدُ مَنْ يَسُودُ (S, TA:) the poet means, I determined to stay until the time of the صبــاح [i. e. either dawn or forenoon]: for it is on account of some particular thing, i. e. some good quality, or some praiseworthy thing, that he is made a chief who becomes a chief: thus Ibn-Es-Seeráfee explains this verse. (TA.) And one says, ↓ أَتَيْتُهُ ذَا صَبُــوحٍ, not used otherwise than adverbially, meaning the same as ذَا صَبَــاحٍ, expl. above; (K;) and ↓ ذَاتَ الــصَّبُــوحِ in the morning, or first part of day, before sunrise: (IAar, TA:) or ↓ ذَا صَبُــوحٍ [properly means] in a time of drinking the [morning-draught called]

صَبُــوح. (TA.) And يَوْمِ كَذَا ↓ أَتَيْتُهُ صَبِــيحَةَ [I came to him in the dawn, or in the morning, or forenoon, of such a day]: (A:) and ↓ أُــصْبُــوحَةَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ [in the morning of every day]; and in like manner, أُمْسِيَّةَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ. (S.) And أَتَيْتُهُ صَبَــاحَ مَسَآءَ, (Sb, A, TA,) for صَبَــاحًا وَمَسَآءً, [I came to him morning and evening,] meaning every morning and evening: (Sharh esh-Shudhoor, p.

31:) the two nouns are thus constructed by some of the Arabs, after the manner of خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ: but some prefix the former noun to the other, putting the latter in the gen. case, except when the expression is used as a denotative of state, or adverbially: (TA:) [or, accord. to IHsh,] صَبَــاحَ مَسَآءٍ is allowable as [an adverbial expression] meaning صَبَــاحَ ذَا مَسَآءٍ [lit. in a morning having an evening, or in a forenoon having an afternoon]; and a similar instance occurs in the Kur, ch. lxxix. last verse. (Sharh esh-Shudhoor, ubi suprà.) b3: يَوْمُ الــصَّبَــاحِ means (tropical:) The day of the hostile, or predatory, incursion. (S, A, K.) The Arabs, when suddenly attacked in the morning by a troop of horsemen, cry aloud, يَا صَبَــاحَاهْ (assumed tropical:) [O! a hostile, or predatory, incursion!]; warning the whole tribe: (TA:) this is said by him who calls for aid: (JM:) for they generally made a hostile, or predatory, incursion in the morning: (TA, JM:) or, as some say, the two conflicting parties used, when night came, to abstain; and when day returned, they recommenced; so that the case is as though he who said thus meant, The time of the صَبَــاح [or morning] has come, therefore prepare yourselves for fighting. (JM.) صُبَــاحٌ The شُعلَة [or lighted wick] of a قِنْدِيل [or lamp]. (K.) [See also مِــصْبَــاحٌ.]

عــصب

1 عَــصَبَ, aor. ـِ (K,) inf. n. عَــصْبٌ, (S, A, Mgh, O, K,) He twisted [a thing], or wound [it] round: (A, K, TA:) this is the primary signification: (TA:) and he folded [it]; (A, K;) or he folded [it] tightly: (S, O, TA:) and he bound [it], or tied [it]: (A, Mgh, K, TA:) عَــصْبٌ denotes the binding, or tying, a thing with another thing, lengthwise, or [more commonly] around. (O.) See also 2, first sentence. [And see مَعْصُوبٌ.] b2: He twisted, or spun, thread. (K, * TA.) And He put together thread, and bound it, previously to dyeing it. (TA.) b3: عَــصَبَ الكَبْشَ, (S, O, Msb, K, *] aor. as above, (K,) and so the inf. n., (S, Msb, K,) He bound, or tied, (tightly, TA) the testicles of the ram, in order that they might fall, without his extracting them: (S, O, Msb, K:) and in like manner one says of a goat, (K,) and of other beasts. (TA.) b4: عَــصَبَ النَّاقَةَ, (O, Msb, K, *) aor. as above, (K,) and so the inf. n., (Msb, K, TA,) and عِصَابٌ also; (TA;) and ↓ اعتــصبــها; (O, K;) He bound the thighs of the she-camel, (Msb, K, TA,) or the lower parts of her nostrils, (TA,) with a cord, (Msb, TA,) in order that she might yield her milk copiously: (Msb, K, TA:) and (O) عَــصَبَ فَخِذَ النَّاقَةِ [He bound the thigh of the she-camel] for that purpose. (S, O.) [See عَصُوبٌ.] Hence one says, أَعْطَى عَلَى العَــصْبِ (tropical:) He gave by means of force. (TA.) And مِثْلِى لَا يَدِرُّ بِالعِصَابِ (assumed tropical:) Such a one as I am will not give by means of force. (A, TA.) b5: عَــصَبَــتْ فَرْجَهَا She (a woman) bound her vulva with a bandage.

(S, O, TA.) [Golius assigns this signification also to عَــصَّبَ, as on the authority of the S, in which I do not find it.] El-Hajjáj said, (S, TA,) when preaching to the people at El-Koofeh, (TA,) لَأَعْــصِبَــنَّكُمْ عَــصْبَ السَّلَمِ (S) or السَّلَمَةِ (TA) [I will assuredly draw you together and beat you as one does the selem or the selemeh]. The سَلَمَة is a tree of the kind called عِضَاه, having thorns, and its leaves are the قَرَظ with which hides are tanned: [but see قَرَظٌ:] the removal of the leaves with the hand being difficult on account of the many thorns, its branches are drawn together and bound tightly with a rope; then the beater pulls them towards him, and beats them with his staff; whereupon the leaves become scattered for the cattle and for him who desires to gather them. (TA.) Or this is done, (S, O, TA,) accord. to A 'Obeyd, (S, O,) only (TA) when they desire to cut down the selemeh, that they may get at the stock. (S, O, TA.) [Hence,] one says, فُلَانٌ لَا تُعْــصَبُ سَلَمَاتُهُ [Such a one will not have his selemehs bound round with a rope, and beaten]: a prov., applied to a strong, mighty man, not to be subdued nor abased. (A, * TA.) And one says also of winds, تَعْــصِبُ الشَّجَرَ عِنْدَ دُرُوجِهَا فِيهِ (assumed tropical:) [They compress the branches of the trees, as though they bound them round, in their passage among them]: and such winds are termed ↓ عَصَائِبُ. (O.) And عَــصَبَ القَوْمَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عَــصْبٌ, (assumed tropical:) It (an affair, or event,) drew the people together, and became severe to them.

It is related in a trad. respecting the battle of Bedr, that 'Otbeh the son of Rabee'ah said, اِرْجِعُوا وَلَا تُقَاتِلُوا وَاعْــصِبُــوهَا بِرَأْسِى (assumed tropical:) [Return ye, and fight not; and bind it upon my head]; meaning attach and attribute to me the disgrace that will befall you for relinquishing the battle and inclining to peace. (IAth, TA.) And it is said in another trad., قُومُوا بِمَا عَــصَبَــكُمْ بِهِ (assumed tropical:) Fulfil ye the obligations with which He (meaning God) has bound you; or which He has imposed upon you and attached to you; by his commands and prohibitions. (TA.) b9: عَــصَبَ الشَّىْءَ and عَلَى

الشَّىْءِ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عَــصْبٌ and عِصَابٌ, He grasped the thing with his hand. (K, * TA.) A poet, cited by IAar, says, وَكُنَّا يَا قُرَيْشُ إِذَا عَــصَبْــنَا يَجِىْءُ عِصَابُنَا بِدَمٍ عَبِيطِ [And we were, O Kureysh, when we grasped our opponents, such that our grasping brought fresh blood]; عِصَابُنَا meaning our grasping those whom we opposed with the swords. (TA.) b10: and عَــصَبَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عَــصْبٌ, He clung, or kept, to a thing. (K.) One says, عَــصَبَ المَآءَ He kept to, or by, the water. (IAar, TA.) And عَــصَبَ الرَّجُلُ بَيْتَهُ The man remained, or stayed, in his house, or tent, not quitting it. (O, TA.) b11: And He went round, encompassed, or surrounded, a thing. (K.) It is said in a trad., of the angel Gabriel, on the day of Bedr, قَدْ عَــصَبَ رَأْسَهُ الغُبَارُ The dust had overspread, [or surrounded,] and clung to, his head: or, as some relate it, قَدْ عَصَمَ ثَنِيَّتَيْهِ الغُبَارُ; and if this be not a mistake, the latter verb is syn. with the former: ب and م being often interchangeable: (L, TA:) the latter phrase means, as also with عَــصَبَ, the dust had stuck to his two central incisors. (TA in art. عصم.) And Ibn Ahmar says, إِذْ عَــصَبَ النَّاسَ شَمَالٌ وَقُرٌ [وَقُرْ being for وَقُرٌّ] i. e. When north wind and cold environ me. (L, TA.) And one says also, عَــصَبَ الغُبَارُ بِالجَبَلِ The dust encompassed, or surrounded, the mountain. (L, TA.) And عَــصَبُــوا بِهِ They encompassed, or surrounded, him: (S, A, Mgh, O, TA:) and they encompassed, or surrounded, him, looking at him: (S, O:) and, (Msb, K,) as also عَــصِبُــوا, (K,) aor. of the former عَــصِبَ, (Msb, K,) and inf. n. عَــصْبٌ, (Msb,) and aor. of the latter عَــصَبَ, (K,) they assembled around him (Msb, K) for fight or defence. (Msb. For another explanation of عَــصَبَ and عَــصِبَ, see 12.) And عَــصَبَ القَوْمُ بِالنَّسَبِ i. q. أَحَاطُوا بِهِ [app. meaning The people, or party, included, or comprehended, the relations, or kinsmen; for النَّسَبُ is often used for ذَوُو النَّسَبِ]. (Msb.) and عَــصَبَــتِ الإِبِلُ بِالمَآءِ The camels surrounded, or encircled, the water.

[The saliva makes his mouth dry, with what a drying ! as the drying of the spume of camels' milk on the lips of the skin]. (S, O.) and عَــصَبَ فُوهُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عَــصْبٌ, His mouth, with his saliva, became dry. (O.) And عَــصَبَ الفَمُ, (K, * TA,) aor. ـِ inf. n. عَــصْبٌ and عُصُوبٌ, meaning [The mouth, or teeth, (the latter accord. to the explanation in the K,)] became foul, or dirty, from dust and the like, (K, TA,) as from vehement thirst, or fear. (TA.) b13: عَــصَبَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عُصُوبٌ, He was, or became, [hungry; or] very hungry; or his bowels were almost dried up with hunger: because it is said of the practice of a hungry man's binding round his belly, as expl. voce مَعْصُوبٌ [q. v.]. (TA.) b14: عَــصَبَ الأُفُقُ The horizon became red. (S, O. [In Freytag's Lex. عَــصِبَ, as from the K, in which I do not find it. See عَــصْبٌ.]) A2: عَــصِبَ, (S, O, K,) with kesr, (S, O,) like فَرِحَ, (K,) said of flesh, or flesh-meat, It had many عَــصَبَ [i. e. sinews, or tendons]. (S, O, K.) b2: And عَــصِبَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. عَــصْبٌ, [so in the TA, and so in a verse there cited, not عَــصَبٌ,] He was, or became, firm and compact in flesh.

(L, TA.) He turbaned a man; attired him with a turban. (A, TA.) b2: Hence, (A, O,) تَعْصِيبٌ signifies (tropical:) [The crowning a man: (see the pass. part. n.:)] the making a man a chief: (A, O, K, TA:) for turbans are the crowns of the Arabs: (O:) when a man's people made him a chief, they bound his head with a turban: (A, TA:) as kings wore crowns, so the chiefs of the Arabs wore red turbans: (L, TA:) there were brought to the desert, from Haráh (هَرَاة), red turbans, which the nobles among the Arabs wore.
