صبــع

1 صَبَــعَ بِهِ, aor. ـَ (Az, S, K,) inf. n. صَبْــعٌ, (Az, S,) He pointed at him, or towards him, with his finger, (بِإِــصْبَــعِهِ,) disparagingly: (Az, S, K:) or, as some say, he meant some evil thing to him when he (the latter) was inadvertent, not knowing. (TA.) b2: And صَبَــعَ فُلَانًا عَلَى فُلَانٍ He directed such a one to such a one by pointing, or indication: (S, K:) because, when one directs a man to a way, or road, or to a thing that is latent, or obscure, he points towards it with the finger. (TA.) One says, مَا صَبَــعَكَ عَلَيْنَا What directed thee to us? (TA.) And صَبَــعَ بَيْنَ القَوْمِ He directed others to the people, or party. (TA.) Of one who magnifies himself, or acts proudly, in his government, or administration, one says, صَبَــعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ (assumed tropical:) [app. meaning The Devil has directed him]: and أَدْرَكَتْهُ أَصَابِعُ الشَّيْطَانِ [The fingers of the Devil have reached him]. (TA. [See the pass. part. n. below.]) b3: And one says, قُرِّبَ إِلَيْهِ طَعَامٌ فَمَا صَبَــعَ فِيهِ i. e. [Food was presented, or offered, to him, or was placed, or put, before him, and] he did not put his finger into it. (TA.) [See also صَبَــأَ, near the end.] b4: And صَبَــعَ الدَّجَاجَةَ, (O, K,) inf. n. as above. (TA,) He inserted his finger into the hen in order that he might know if she were [near] laying an egg or not: (O, K:) mentioned by Z. (TA.) b5: And صَبَــعَ الإِنَآءَ He put his finger upon the vessel so that what was in another vessel flowed upon it [into the former vessel]: (A'Obeyd, S, O, K:) or, as some say, he put together his two fingers, [or two of his fingers,] then discharged, or let flow, what was in the vessel, of wine, or beverage, into a thing with a narrow head [or mouth]: or, accord. to Az, he discharged, or let flow, what was in the vessel, of wine, or beverage, between the extremities of [either of] his two thumbs and fore fingers, in order that it might not become scattered, and pour forth copiously. (TA.) b6: and صَبَــعَهُ, inf. n. as above, He hit, or hurt, his finger. (TA.) A2: صَبَــعَ عَلَى القَوْمِ, inf. n. as above, meaning He came forth upon the people, or party, is said to be originally صَبَــأَ, with ء. (TA.) 4 اصبــع, followed by عَلَى, is said by Freytag, as on the authority of Meyd, to signify He (a pastor) fed and managed well his cattle: but this is perhaps taken from a mistranscription of the saying, mentioned by Meyd, لِلرَّاعِى عَلَى مَاشِيَتَهِ

[See also a verse cited voce صُلْبٌ.] And similar to this saying is the prov., عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اللّٰهِ تَعَالَى إِــصْبَــعٌ حَسَنٌ, meaning (assumed tropical:) [Upon him is, from God, (acknowledged be his absolute supremacy,)] an impress of a good state or condition.

(O.) b8: أَبُو الإِــصْبَــعِ is one of the surnames of The Devil. (TA. [See صَبَــعَهُ الشِّيْطَانُ, above.]) b9: [إِــصْبَــعٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) A prong, as resembling a finger: so in the S and K in art. حفر, and in other instances.] b10: أَصَابِعُ الفَتَيَاتِ, (O, TS, K,) in the “ Minháj ” of Ibn-Jezleh اصابع الفتيان, [app. a mistranscription,] and in the I, اصابع البُنَيَّاتِ, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) [Common clinopodium, or wild basil,] the sweet-smelling plant called in Pers\. الفَرَنْجَمُشْك, (AHn, O, K,) which grows abundantly in the southern parts of Arabia, and is not depastured by any animal.

أَحَقُّ بِهَا [from him who was more, or most, entitled to it], (M,) or عَنْهُ [from him]. (Msb.) 'Amr Ibn-Kulthoom says, صَبَــنْتِ الكَأْسَ عَنَّا أُمَّ عَمْرٍو وَكَانَ الكَأْسُ مَجْرَاهَا اليَمِينَا [Thou hast turned away the cup of wine from us, O Umm-' Amr; when the proper course of the cup of wine was towards the right].

صَبْــنَآءُ The hand of a player at a game of hazard inclined for acting treacherously to a companion. (IAar, K.) صَابُونٌ a word of well-known meaning, (S, M, K,) [Soap;] a compound with which clothes [&c.] are washed: the best of which is made of pure olive-oil and clear potash and good جِير [meaning lime], well cooked [i. e. boiled], and dried, and cut into particular shapes: the مَغْرِبِىّ sort is not cut, nor well cooked [or boiled], but is like cooked starch: (TA:) it is hot and dry; and produces a pleasurable sensation in the body; (K;) but the washing the head with it hastens hoariness: (TA: [in which many other supposed properties of it are mentioned:]) IDrd says the word is not of the language of the Arabs: (TA:) [Fei, in the Msb, fancifully derives it from صَبَــنَ الكَأْسَ, because it removes filths and impurities:] MF says that it is one of the words common to all languages, Arabic and Persian and Turkish and others [as Greek &c.].
