A2: See also سِرْوَةٌ.

سُرْوَةٌ: see what next follows.

سِرْوَةٌ (Th, AHn, T, S, M, K) and ↓ سُرْوَةٌ (Th, M, IAth, K) and ↓ سَرْوَةٌ (Kr, M, K) A small arrow: (S:) or a small and short arrow: or an arrow broad and long in the head; (M, K, TA;) but therewithal slender and short; with which one shoots at the butt: (TA:) or such as is round and smooth, not broad; the broad and long being termed مِعْبَلَةٌ: (M:) or the very slenderest of arrow-heads, that penetrates into the coats of mail: (Th, M:) or it [is an arrow that] penetrates into the coats of mail, for which reason it is called الدِّرْعِيَّةُ, its head entering like the needle: (T, TA:) or an arrow-head resembling an ordinary needle or a large needle: it is mentioned also in art. سرى, [as being a small, short, round and smooth arrow-head, having no breadth, and as being called سِرْوَةٌ and سِرْيَةً,] because the word belongs to that art. and to this: (M:) [see also مِرْمَاةٌ; and see سِرْوَةٌ in art. سرأ:] the pl. is سُرًى [or سِرًى?] accord. to the T, or سِرَآءٌ accord. to the S. (TA.) A2: The first (سِرْوَةٌ) also signifies The locust in its first state, when it is a larva; (S;) or in its first state of growth, when it comes forth from its egg: (M:) originally with hemz: (S:) [see سَرْءٌ, in two places:] and سِرْيَةٌ is a dial. var. thereof. (S.) [See also جَرَادٌ.]

سَرِىٌّ, as an epithet applied to a man, (S, M, K, &c.,) may be from اِسْتَرَيْتُ الشَّىْءَ “ I chose, or selected, the thing,” or from السَّرَاةُ “ the higher, or highest, part ” of a thing, (Ham p. 337,) or, accord. to Er-Rághib, from سَرَوْتُ الثَّوْبَ عَنِّى “ I pulled off the garment from me,” (TA, [in which this derivation is said to be good, but I think it far-fetched,]) Possessing liberality, bountifulness, munificence, or generosity, combined with manliness, or manly virtue: (S, Mgh:) or possessing manliness, or manly virtue, (M, K,) and, (M,) or combined with, (K,) high or elevated rank or condition, nobility, dignity, honour, or glory: (M, K:) or i. q. رَئِيسٌ [meaning a chief, or person high in rank or condition]: (Msb:) [or a generous and manly or noble person:] fem. with ة: (M, K:) and ↓ مَسْرَوَانٌ signifies the same, applied to a man; and ↓ مَسْرَوَانَةٌ applied to a woman: (M:) the pl. of سَرِىٌّ is أَسْرِيَآءُ and سُرَوَآءُ (Lh, M, K) and سُرًى, (Az, K,) which is anomalous, (TA,) and سَرَاةٌ, (T, S, Mgh, * Msb,) [originally سَرَوَةٌ,] which is [also] anomalous, (T, TA,) the only instance of فَعَلَةٌ as the measure of a pl. of a word of the measure فَعِيلٌ, (S, Msb,) or it is a quasi-pl. n., (Sb, M, K,) and its pl. is سَرَوَاتٌ; (S, M, Mgh, * K;) meaning سَادَاتٌ [or chiefs, &c.]; (Mgh); and سُرَاةٌ, with damm, [originally سُرَوَةٌ,] is a dial. var. of سَرَاةٌ, as pl. [or quasi-pl. n.] of سَرِىٌّ: (IAth, TA:) the pl. of سَرِيَّةٌ is سَرِيَّاتٌ and سَرَايَا. (M, K.) Also Chosen, or choice, or select: (M:) what is good of anything; pl. [or quasi-pl. n.] سَرَاةٌ: (Ham p. 337:) the best, (Msb, TA, and Har p. 56,) and in like manner سَرَاةٌ [as a pl.]; (M, Msb, TA, and Ham p. 57, and Har ubi suprà;) the former, of men, (Har ubi suprà,) and of camels; (S;) and the latter, of men, (S, TA, and Ham ubi suprà, and Har,) and of cattle or camels and the like, (S, M, TA,) as also the former. (TA.) A2: See also art. سرى.

سُرِّيَّةٌ, said by some to be originally of the measure فُعُّولَةٌ, from سَرْوٌ: see art. سر.

أَسْرَى is of the measure أَفْعَلُ [denoting the comparative and superlative degrees] from السَّرْوُ signifying “ liberality, bountifulness, munificence, or generosity, combined with manliness, or manly virtue: ” [&c.:] whence the phrase أَسْرَاهُمْ سُودَدًا, meaning The best of them in respect of chiefdom or the like: or it may be from السُّرَى; meaning in this instance that the fame of the chiefdom, or the like, of him to whom it relates has pervaded the countries and spread among mankind; and this is more worthy of regard in respect of the method of grammatical analysis; from Mtr: (Har p. 363: [see art. سرى:]) [ISd, however, assigns the word to the present art.:] see 5, last sentence.

أَرْضٌ مَسْرُوَّةٌ A land containing the سِرْوَة, or locust in its first state, when it is a larva. (S.) [In a copy of the M, it is said to be from السَّرْوَةُ; and the context there indicates the meaning to be A land infested by a worm of the kind termed سَرْوٌ, of which سَرْوَةٌ is the n. un.: but probably السَّرْوَةُ, in this instance, is a mistranscription for السِّرْوَةُ, which is mentioned immediately after as meaning “ the locust in its first state of growth, when it comes forth from its egg. ”]

مَسْرَوَانٌ; and its fem., with ة: see سَرِىٌّ.

(Az, TA.) [Jac. Schultens, as mentioned by Freytag, explains it as meaning A whiteness upon the forehead of a horse: but this explanation is perhaps conjectural, from the verse cited above.]

المَهْدِيّةُ:
بالفتح ثم السكون، في موضعين: إحداهما بإفريقية والأخرى اختطها عبد المؤمن بن عليّ قرب سلا، فأما المهديّ ففي اشتقاقه عندي أربعة أوجه:
أحدها أن يكون من المهدي، بفتح ميمه، ويعني أنه هو مهتد في نفسه لا أنه هداه غيره ولو كان ذلك لكان المهدي، بضم الميم، كقولك المرميّ والمكريّ والملقيّ، ولو كان يفعل ذلك بغيره لضمّت الميم، وليس الضم والفتح للتعدية وغير التعدية، فإن الأصمعي يقول: هداه يهديه في الدين هدى وهداه يهديه هداية إذا دلّه على الطريق، وهديت العروس فأنا أهديها هداء، وأهديت الهديّة إهداء وأهديت الهدي، هذان الأخيران بالألف والأول كما تراه ثلاثيّا متعدّيا فلا يفتقر إلى زيادة ألف التعدية فهو بمنزلة اسم الزمان والمكان وإن كان اسم رجل لأنك إذا قلت مضرب أو مشرب إنما المراد موضع
الضرب والشرب ومحلهما، فكذلك هذا المسمّى المراد أنه موضع الهدي ومحلّه، ويجوز أن يكون المهديّ منسوبا إلى اسم مكان الهدي كما أن مضربيّ منسوب إلى اسم مكان الضرب، والقياس هدى يهدي والمكان مهديّ بتصحيح الياء كما أن قاض أصله قاضي بتصحيح الياء مثل مضرب سواء ولكنهم استثقلوا الخروج من الكسر إلى الضم كما استثقلوا في القاضي والغازي فعدلوا إلى الأخفّ فقالوا مهدى كما قالوا مغزى فصار مقصورا لا يحتمل ما تحتمله الياء من التحريك في النصب فلزم طريقة واحدة وأعيدت الياء في القاضي إلى أصلها لما أمن الثقل عليها، فإن قيل فهلّا فرّوا في القاضي والغازي إلى القصر وألزموه طريقة واحدة؟ قلنا إنما فرّوا من الثقل، ولو قالوا قاضا لصار بعد الضاد ألف وقبلها ألف وصار في زنة الفعل من قاضيت ففرّوا إلى الأخفّ، لكنهم لما نسبوا إليهما ردّوهما إلى الأصل الواحد في رأيي فقالوا قاضيّ ومهديّ، فكسروا الدال التي في مهدي وشدّدوا ياء النسبة وإن كان الأشهر الأكثر قاضويّ ومهدويّ ومغزويّ إلا أن ذلك هو الأولى على أصلنا، فهذا هو وجه حسن في تعليل من قال قاضيّ ومغزيّ لا مطعن للمنصف فيه، والوجه الثاني وهو الذي يراه النحويون في هذا أن المهديّ هو اسم المفعول من هدى يهدي فهو مهديّ مثل ضرب يضرب فهو مضروب فعلى هذا أصله مهدوي، بفتح أوله وسكون ثانيه وضم الدال وسكون واوه وتصحيح يائه، بوزن مضروب، فاستثقلوا الخروج من الواو الساكنة إلى الياء فأدغموا الواو في الياء فصارت ياء مشددة فكسرت لها الدال فصار مهديّ مثل مرميّ ومشويّ ومقليّ، والوجه الثالث أن يكون منسوبا إلى المهد تشبيها له بعيسى، عليه السلام، فإنه تكلم في المهد فضيلة اختصّ بها وإنه يأتي في آخر الزمان فيهدي الناس من الضلالة ويردهم إلى الصواب، وهذه المدينة بإفريقية منسوبة إلى المهدي، وبينها وبين القيروان مرحلتان، القيروان في جنوبيها، والثياب السوسية المهدويّة إليها تنسب، وقد اختطها المهدي، واختلف في نسبه فأكثر أهل السير الذين لم يدخلوا في رعيتهم وبعض رعيتهم الذين كانوا يخفون أمرهم يزعمون أنه كان ابن يهوديّ من أهل سلمية الشام وتزوّج الــقدّاح الذي كان أصل هذه الدعوة بأمه فربّاه إلى أن حضرته الوفاة ولم يكن له ولد فعهد إليه وعلّمه الدعوة وكان اسمه سعيدا فلما صار الأمر إليه سمي عبيد الله، وقال قوم قليلون: إنه ولد الــقداح نفسه، في قصص طويلة، وقال من صحّح نسبه: إنه أحمد بن إسماعيل الثاني ابن محمد بن إسماعيل الأكبر بن جعفر بن محمد بن علي ابن الحسين بن علي بن أبي طالب، قدم إفريقية، فملكها وأقام بالقيروان مدّة ثم خطّ المهدية، وهي على ساحل بحر الروم داخلة فيه ككفّ على زند، عليها سور عال محكم كأعظم ما يكون يمشي عليه فارسان، عليها باب من حديد مصمت مصراع واحد تأنّق المهديّ في عمله، وقال بعض أهل المعرفة بأخبارهم:
في سنة 300 خرج المهدي بنفسه إلى تونس يرتاد لنفسه موضعا يبني فيه مدينة خوفا من خارج يخرج عليه، وأراد موضعا حصينا حتى ظفر بموضع المهدية وهي جزيرة متصلة بالبرّ كهيئة كف متصلة بزند، فتأمّلها فوجد فيها راهبا في مغارة فقال له: بم يعرف هذا الموضع؟ فقال: هذا يسمّى جزيرة الخلفاء، فأعجبه هذا الاسم فبناها وجعلها دار مملكته وحصّنها بالسور المحكم والأبواب الحديد المصمت وجعل في كل مصراع من الأبواب مائة قنطار، ولها بابان بأربعة مصاريع لكل باب منها دهليز يسع خمسمائة فارس،
وكان شروعه في اختطاطها لخمس خلون من ذي القعدة سنة 303، وقال أبو عبيد البكري: كان شروعه فيها سنة 300 وكمّل سورها في سنة خمس وانتقل إليها سنة ثمان في شوال، ولم تزل دار مملكة لهم إلى أن ولي الأمر إسماعيل بن أبي القاسم سنة 44 فسار إلى القيروان محاربا لأبي يزيد واتخذ مدينة صبرة واستوطنها بعد أبيه معدّ وعمل فيها مصانع واحتفر أبآرا وبنى فيها قصورا عالية، قال بطليموس: مدينة برقة وهي المهدية طولها اثنتان وثلاثون درجة، وعرضها ست وثلاثون درجة، داخلة في الإقليم الرابع، طالعها العقرب تحت اثنتي عشرة درجة، منزلها من قلب العقرب الجناح الأيمن ولها ممسك العنان ولها جبهة الليث تحت اثنتي عشرة درجة من السرطان، يقابلها مثلها اثنتا عشرة درجة من الجدي، وقال أبو عبيد البكري: جعل لمدينتها بابا حديد لا خشب فيهما كل باب وزنه ألف قنطار وطوله ثلاثون شبرا كل مسمار من مساميره ستة أرطال وجعل فيها من الصهاريج العظام، وأهل تلك النواحي يسمّونها مواجل، ثلاثمائة وستين موجلا غير ما يجري إليها من القناة التي فيها، والماء الجاري الذي بالمهدية جلبه عبيد الله من قرية ميّانش وهي على مقربة من المهدية في أول أقداس ويصبّ في المهدية في صهريج داخل المدينة عند جامعها ويرفع من الصهريج إلى القصر بالدواليب وكذلك يسقي أيضا من قرية ميّانش من الآبار بالدواليب يصبّ في محبس يجري منه في تلك القناة، قال: ومرسى المهدية منقور في حجر صلد يسع ثلاثين مركبا، على طرفي المرسى برجان بينهما سلسلة حديد فإذا أريد إدخال سفينة أرسل حرّاس البرجين أحد طرفي السلسلة حتى تدخل السفينة ثم يمدّونها كما كانت تحبيسا لها، ولما فرغ من إحكام ذلك قال: اليوم أمنت على الفاطميّات، يعني بناته، وارتحل إليها وأقام بها ثم عمّر فيها الدكاكين ورتب فيها أرباب المهن كلّ طائفة في سوق فنقلوا إليها أموالهم فلما استقام ذلك أمر بعمارة مدينة أخرى إلى جانب المهدية وجعل بين المدينتين قدر طول ميدان وأفردها بسور وأبواب وحفظة وسماها زويلة وأسكن أرباب الدكاكين من البزّازين وغيرهم فيها بحرمهم وأهاليهم وقال: إنما فعلت ذلك لآمن غائلتهم وذاك أن أموالهم عندي وأهاليهم هناك، فإن أرادوني بكيد وهم بزويلة كانت أموالهم عندي فلا يمكنهم ذلك، وإن أرادوني بكيد وهم بالمهدية خافوا على حرمهم هناك، وبنيت بيني وبينهم سورا وأبوابا فأنا آمن منهم ليلا ونهارا لأني أفرّق بينهم وبين أموالهم ليلا وبينهم وبين حرمهم نهارا، وشرب أهلها من الآبار والصهاريج، ومهما ذكرنا من حصانتها فإن أحوال ملوكها تناقضت حتى أفضى الأمر إلى أن أنفذ روجار صاحب صقليّة جرجي إليها في سنة 543 فأخلاها الحسن بن علي بن يحيى بن تميم بن المعزّ بن باديس وخرج هاربا حتى لحق بعبد المؤمن وبقيت في يد الأفرنج اثنتي عشرة سنة حتى قدم عبد المؤمن في سنة 555 إلى إفريقية فأخذ المهدية في أسرع وقت فهي في يد أصحابه إلى يومنا هذا ولم تغن حصانتها في جنب قضاء الله شيئا، وينسب إلى المهدية جماعة وافرة من العلماء في كل فنّ، منهم: أبو الحسن علي بن محمد بن ثابت الخولاني المعروف بالحدّاد المهدوي القائل:
قالت، وأبدت صفحة ... كالشمس من تحت القناع:
بعت الدفاتر وهي آ ... خر ما يباع من المتاع
فأجبتها، ويدي على ... كبدي وهمّت بانصداع:
لا تعجبي فيما رأي ... ت فنحن في زمن الضّياع

(M, K.) [and in like manner, He was, or became, his رَبّ, or lord, &c.] You say, رَبَبْتُ القَوْمَ, [inf. n. as above and مَرَبَّةٌ and رِبَابَةٌ,] I ruled, or governed, the people; syn. سُسْتُهُمْ; i. e. I was, or became, over them [as their lord, master, or chief]. (S.) and طَالَتْ مَرَبَّتُهُمُ النَّاسَ and رِبَابَتُهُم Their ruling, or governing, the people continued long. (M, K. *) The saying of Safwán, (T, S,) on the day of Honeyn, (T,) لَأَنْ يَرُبَّنِى رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أُنْ يَرُبَّنِى رَجُلٌ مِنْ هَوَازِنَ means [Assuredly that a man of Kureysh] should be over me (T, S) as رَبّ [or lord, &c.], and as master, or chief, having command, or authority, over me, (T,) [is more pleasing to me than that a man of Hawázin should be lord, &c., over me.] b2: Also, (S, M, Mgh, K,) aor. ـُ (S, M,) inf. n. رَبٌّ, (S, Mgh, M,) He reared, fostered, brought up, fed, or nourished, him; i. q. رَبَّاهُ; (S, M, Mgh, K;) namely, his child, (S,) or a child, (M, K,) either his own or another's; taking good care of him, and acting as his guardian, (M,) until he attained to puberty, or to the utmost term of youth: (M, K:) and so ↓ ربّبهُ, (Lh, S, M, Mgh, K,) or this has a more emphatic signification, (TA,) inf. n. تَربِيبٌ (Lh, M, Mgh, K) and تَرِبَّةٌ; (Lh, M, K;) and ↓ تربّبه; (S, M, K;) and ↓ ارتبّهُ: (M, K:) [in like manner, also,] ↓ رَبْرَبَ signifies he reared, fostered, or brought up, an orphan: (AA, T:) and accord. to IDrd, (M,) رَبِبْتُهُ is a dial. var. [of رَبَبْتُهُ]: (M, K:) he says also that the verb is used in like manner in relation to the young one of an animal other than man; and he used to cite this ex.: كَانَ لَنَا وَهْوَ فَلُوٌّ نِرْبِبُهْ [He belonged to us when he was a young weaned, or one-year-old, colt, we rearing him]; with the letter characteristic of the aor. meksoor, to show that the second letter of the preterite is meksoor, accord to the opinion of Sb in respect of a case of this kind; and this, he says, is peculiar to the dial. of Hudheyl in this species of verb. (M, TA.) رَبَّتِ المَرْأَةُ صَبِيَّهَا, used tropically, means (tropical:) The woman patted her child repeatedly on its side in order that it might sleep. (A, TA.) [See 2 in art. ربت.] [It is said that] the primary signification of الرَّبُّ is التَّرْبِيَةُ; i. e. The bringing a thing to a state of completion by degrees. (Bd in i. l.) A poet says, (S,) namely, Hassán Ibn-Thábit, (TA,) مِنْ دُرَّةٍ بَيْضَآءَ صَافِيَةٍ

حَائِرُ البَحْرِ ↓ مِمَّا تَرَبَّبَ [Than a white, clear, pearl, of those which the depth of the sea has brought to maturity]; meaning a pearl which the shell has reared, or brought to maturity in the bottom of the water. (S, TA.) And the phrase لَكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَرُبُّهَا occurs in a trad., meaning [Thou hast wealth] which thou preservest, and of which thou takest care, and which thou fosterest like as the man fosters his child. (TA.) b3: [Hence,] المَطَرُ يَرُبُّ النَّبَاتَ وَالثَّرَى The rain causes the plants, or herbage, and the moisture [of the earth] to increase. (M.) and السَّحَابُ يَرُبُّ المَطَرَ The clouds collect and increase the rain. (M.) And رَبَّ, (T, S, M, K, TA,) aor. ـُ inf. n. رَبٌّ and رِبَابٌ and رِبَابَةٌ; (Lh, M, TA;) and ↓ ربّب; (M, TA;) (tropical:) He increased, (M, K, TA,) or rightly disposed, and completed, (T, S,) a benefit, or benefaction. (T, S, M, TA.) b4: رَبَّ الأَمْرَ, (M, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ , inf. n. رَبٌّ (M, Msb) and رِبَابَةٌ, (M,) (tropical:) He put the affair into a right, or proper, state; adjusted it, arranged it, ordered it, or rightly disposed it; (M, K;) and established it firmly: (M:) or he managed, conducted, or regulated, the affair: (Msb:) [perhaps from رَبَّ signifying “ he reared,”

&c.; but more probably, I think, from what next follows.] b5: رَبَّ, (T, S, M, K,) aor. ـُ (T, M,) inf. n. رَبُّ (T, M, K) and رُبٌّ; (K) and ↓ ربّب; (M;) He seasoned a skin (T, S, K) for clarified butter (T, S) with رُبّ [i. e. rob, or inspissated juice], (T, S, K,) of dates, (TA,) which imparts a good odour to it, (S, TA,) and prevents the flavour and odour of the butter from being spoiled: (TA:) or he seasoned a skin with رُبّ, and a jar with tar or pitch: or, as some say, رَبَبْتُهُ signifies I smeared it over, and prepared it properly. (M.) ↓ رَبَّ and ↓ ربّب, (K,) or the latter, but the former also is allowable, (M,) (tropical:) He made oil, or ointment, good, and sweet, or fragrant, or he perfumed it, (M, K, * TA,) accord. to Lh, by infusing in it jasmine or some other sweet-smelling plant. (M, TA.) See also مُرَبَّبٌ, below. b6: رَبَّ also signifies He collected, or congregated, (K, TA,) people: (TA:) [and so, probably, ↓ ربّب: see رَبَبٌ.] You say, فُلَانٌ يَرُبُّ النَّاسَ Such a one collects, or congregates, to him the people. (T, S, M.) A2: رَبَّ, aor. ـِ see 4 A3: رَبَّتْ, (Lh, M, K,) aor. ـُ (so in the M,) or ـِ (MF, TA,) inf. n. رَبٌّ, (M, TA,) or رِبَابٌ, (S, K, [in each of which this is mentioned as the inf. n. whence the epithet رُبَّى,]) said of a ewe or she-goat, She brought forth: (Lh, M, K:) or, as some say, she conceived: or, accord. to some, there is no verb to the epithet رُبَّى: (M:) Az says that it has no verb: (Msb:) [but] ↓ رِبَابٌ is an inf. n. used in relation to a ewe or she-goat as meaning her being in the state of such as is termed رُبَّى

[q. v.]: (S, M, * Msb, * K: *) and in relation to a she-camel, as in the ex. cited by Munteji' Ibn-Nebhán to As, حَنِينَ أُمِّ البَوِّفِى رِبَابِهَا [The yearning cry of the mother of the young camel in the time of her having recently brought forth]: (S:) and used also in relation to a woman as meaning her having recently brought forth: or her state within two months after having brought forth: or within twenty days: whence the phrase, in a trad., حَمْلُهَا رِبَابٌ, meaning She becomes pregnant soon after having brought forth. (TA.) 2 ربّب: see 1, in five places. b2: [Also He preserved with رُبّ, i. e., rob, or inspissated juice: see مُرَبَّبٌ.]4 اربّ بِالمَكَانِ, (T, M, A, K, *) inf. n. إِرْبَابٌ; (T;) and ↓ رَبَّ, (M, K,) aor. ـِ (MF, TA;) He remained, stayed, dwelt, or abode, in the place, (T, M, A, K, *) not quitting it; (T;) like

أَلَبَّ: (T, A:) and the former, [or each,] he kept, or clave, to the place. (M.) And اربّتِ الإِبِلُ بِالمَوْضِعِ (T,) or بِمَكَانِ كَذَا, (S,) The camels kept, or clave, (T, S,) to the place, (T,) or to such a place, and remained in it. (S.) and اربّت النَّاقَةُ, (S,) or اربّت النَاقة بِالفَحْلِ, and بِوَلَدِهَا, (M,) The she-camel kept to the stallion, (S, M,) and to her young one, (M,) and affected it. (TA.) And اربّت السَّحَابَةُ (S, M, A) بِأَرْضِهِمْ (A) (tropical:) The cloud continued raining [in their land]. (S, * M.) And اربّت الجَنُوبُ (assumed tropical:) The south, or southerly, wind continued. (T, S.) b2: الإِرْبَابُ also signifies The drawing near, or approaching, (S, M, K,) a thing, (S, M,) of any kind. (M.) 5 تربّب الأَرْضَ, (M, A, K,) and الرَّجُلَ, (M, K,) He asserted himself to be the ربّ [or lord, &c.,] of the land, (M, A, K,) and of the man. (M, K.) b2: See also 1, in two places, in the former half of the paragraph.

A2: تربّبوا They collected themselves together, or congregated; or they became collected or congregated. (S.) 6 ترابّوا They united in a confederacy, league, or covenant. (M, TA.) [App. from the fact of some confederates dipping their hands into رُبّ: see رِبَابٌ.]8 ارتبّهُ: see 1. b2: تَرْتَبُّ الشَّعَرَ [She adjusts, or arranges, and composes, or collects together, the hair], said of a woman, is from [الرَّبُّ signifying]

الإِصْلَاحُ and الجَمْعُ. (M.) b3: اُرْتُبَّ العِنَبُ The grapes were cooked so as to become رُبّ [or rob], used to give a relish to bread. (AHn, M.) R. Q. 1 رَبْرَبَ: see 1.

رَبْ: see رَأَبَ, of which it is an imperative.

رُبَ and رَبَ and رُبُ and رُبْ and رَبْ; and رُبَمَا and رَبَمَا &c.: see رُبَّ.

رَبٌ: see the next paragraph, last sentence but one.

رَبٌّ A lord, a possessor, an owner, or a proprietor, syn. مَالِكٌ, (T, IAmb, S, M, A, Msb, K,) of a thing, (T,) of anything, (S, M, A, K,) or of an irrational thing; (Msb;) a person who has a right, or just title or claim, to the possession of anything; or its صَاحِب [which is syn. with مَالِك]; (M, A, K;) رَبٌّ and مَالِكٌ and صَاحِبٌ all signifying in Pers\. خُدَاوَنْد: (KL:) and a lord, master, or chief; (Msb, TA;) or a lord, master, or chief, to whom obedience is paid: (IAmb, TA:) and a lord, ruler, governor, regulator, or disposer; (TA;) an orderer, a rectifier, or a reformer: (IAmb, TA:) a rearer, fosterer, bringer-up, feeder, or nourisher: and a completer, or an accomplisher: (TA:) it is an epithet, like نَمٌّ from نَمَّ: or an inf. n. used as an intensive epithet; like عَدْلٌ; (Ksh and Bd * in i. l;) originally signifying the “ bringing (a thing) to a state of completion by degrees;” (Bd, ibid.;) then used in the sense of مَالِكٌ: (Ksh and Bd ibid.:) the pl. [of pauc.] is أَرْبَابٌ and [of mult.]

رُبُوبٌ, (M, K,) and accord. to Sh, رِبَابٌ also, (TA,) signifying أَصْحَابٌ, (K,) and ↓ رَبُوبٌ is app. a quasi-pl. n.: (M:) the fem. is ↓ رَبَّةٌ; of which the pl. is رَبَّاتٌ. (T.) Whoever possesses a thing is its رَبّ: you say, هُوَ رَبُّ الدَّابَّةِ [He is the possessor, or owner, or master, of the beast], and الدَّارِ [of the house], (T,) and المَالِ [of the property, or cattle]; (Msb;) and البَيْتِ ↓ هِىَ رَبَّةُ [She is the owner, or mistress, of the house or tent]. (T.) With the article ال, it is [properly] applied only to God: (T, S, M, A, Msb, K:) He is رَبُّ الأَرْبَابِ [The Lord of lords]. (T. [Thus the pl. with the article ال is applied to created beings.]) To any other being it is not [properly] applied but as a prefixed noun governing another noun as its complement in the gen. case [or in a similar manner]. (S.) The pagan Arabs, however, sometimes applied it to A king, (S,) or to a lord as meaning a master or chief: (Msb:) El-Hárith says, (S, Msb,) i. e. Ibn-Hillizeh, (S,) وَهُوَ الرَّبُّ وَالشَّهِيدُ عَلَى يُوْ مِ الحِيَارَيْنِ وَالبَلَآءُ بَلَآءُ (S, Msb,) i. e. And he (meaning El-Mundhir Ibn-Má-es-Semà, or, as some say, 'Amr Ibn-Hind,) was the king [or lord] and witness of our fighting on the day of El-Hiyárán (the name of a place), and the trial was a hard trial. (EM, p. 285: [in which الحَيَارَيْنِ is erroneously put for الحِيَارَيْنِ.]) Some forbid that a man should be called the رَبّ of his slave: (Msb:) it is said in a trad. that the slave shall not say to his master, رَبّى, because it is like attributing a partner to God: (TA:) but رَبّ is sometimes used in the sense of lord as meaning master or chief prefixed to a noun signifying a rational being governed by it in the gen. case: thus in the saying of the Prophet, حَتَّى تَلِدَ الأَمَةُ رَبَّهَا [So that the female slave shall bring forth him who will become her master], or ↓ رَبَّتَهَا [her mistress], accord. to different transmitters; (Msb;) relating to the signs of the hour of resurrection: i. e., the female slave shall bring forth to her master a child that shall be as a master [or mistress] to her because like his [or her] father in rank: meaning that captives and concubines shall be numerous. (TA.) As to the phrase in the Kur [xii. 42], اُذْكُرْنِى عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ [Mention thou me in the presence of thy lord], Joseph thus addressed his fellow-prisoner agreeably with the acceptation in which he [the latter] understood the words. (TA.) A similar instance also occurs in the same chapter, in the verse immediately preceding. (Msb.) In another verse, [23 of the same ch.,] إِنَّهُ رَبِّى

[Verily he is my lord] may refer to Joseph's master or to God. (M, TA.) The words of the Kur [lxxxix. 28 and 29], اِرْجِعِى إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً

مَرْضِيَّةً فَادْخُلِى فِى عَبْدىِ, as some read, [instead of عِبَادِى,] may mean Return to thine owner, [approving, approved,] and enter into my servant. (M, TA.) b2: Without the article ال, as some say, (L, TA,) it is sometimes written and pronounced ↓ رَبٌ, without teshdeed; (L, K;) as in the following verse, cited by El-Mufaddal, وَقَدْ عَلِمَ الأَقْوَامُ أَنْ لَيْسَ فَوْقَهُ رَبٌ غَيْرُ مَنْ يَعْطِى الحُظُوظَ وَيَرْزُقُ [And the peoples have known that there is not above him a lord beside Him who gives the portions of mankind and of others and grants the means of subsistence]. (L.) And Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà [i. e. Th] mentions the phrase لَا وَرَبِيكَ لَا

أَفْعَلُ, for لَا وَرَبِّكَ [i. e. No, by thy Lord, I will not do such a thing]; the [latter] ب being changed into ى because of the reduplication. (M, K: * in the CK رَبْيِكَ.) رُبَّ is a word of which there are seventy dial. vars., all mentioned by Zekereeyà El-Ansáree in his great Expos. of the “ Munferijeh,” but only eighteen of which are mentioned in the K, including some that are formed with the affix ت, some with the affix مَا, and some with both these affixes together; as follows: (TA:) رُبَّ (T, S, M, Msb, Mughnee, K, &c.) and رَبَّ (T, M, Mughnee, K) and رُبُّ, (Mughnee,) and ↓ رُبَ (T, S, M, Mughnee, K) and رَبَ (T, M, Mughnee, K) and رُبُ and رُبْ (Mughnee, K) and رَبْ; (Mughnee;) and ↓ رُبَّتَ (T, S, M, Msb, Mughnee, K) and رَبَّتَ (M, Mughnee, K) and رُبُّتَ and رُبَّتُ and رَبَّتُ and رُبُّتُ and رُبَّتِ and رَبَّتِ and رُبُّتِ and رَبُّت (TA) and رُبَّتْ and رَبَّتْ (Mughnee) and رُبُّتْ, (TA,) and ↓ رُبَتَ (T, Mughnee, K) and رَبَتَ (Mughnee, K) and رُبُتَ and رُبْتَ and رَبْتَ and رُبَتُ and رَبَتُ and رُبُتُ and رُبْتُ and رَبْتُ and رُبَتِ and رَبَتِ and رُبُتِ and رَبُتِ and رُبْتِ and رَبْتِ (TA) and رُبَتْ and رَبَتْ (Mughnee) and رُبُتْ; (TA;) and رُبَّمَا (T, S, M, K) and رَبَّمَا (M, K) and رُبُّمَا, (TA,) and ↓ رُبَمَا (T, K) and رَبَمَا (K) and رُبُمَا and رُبْمَا and رَبْمَا; (TA;) and ↓ رُبَّتَمَا (T, S, M, K) and رَبَّتَمَا (M, K) and رُبُّتَمَا and رُبَّتُمَا and رَبَّتُمَا and رُبُّتُمَا and رُبَّتْمَا and رَبَّتْمَا and رُبُّتْمَا, (TA,) and ↓ رُبَتَمَا and رَبَتَمَا (M, K) and رُبُتَمَا and رُبْتَمَا and رَبْتَمَا and رُبَتُمَا and رَبَتُمَا and رُبُتُمَا and رُبْتُمَا and رَبْتُمَا and رُبَتْمَا and رَبَتْمَا and رُبُتْمَا: (TA:) [of all these, the most common are رُبَّ and رُبَّمَا: and] ↓ رُبَّتَ is the most common of the forms that have the affix ت: (Mughnee and K on the letter ت:) and the forms with teshdeed are more common than the [corresponding] forms without teshdeed. (M.) It is a word, (M,) or particle, (T, S, Mughnee, K,) governing the gen. case: (S, M, Mughnee, K:) or a noun, (K, TA,) [i. e. an indecl. noun,] in the opinion of the Koofees and some others; but this opinion is rejected by Ibn-Málik in the Tesheel and its Expos., and by AHei, and by IHsh in the Mughnee. (TA.) Accord. to some, (K, TA,) it is used to denote a small number, (T, M, Msb, K, TA,) always, (TA,) or mostly: (Msb, TA:) [thus it may be rendered Few if we render the noun following it as a pl.; and scarce any if we render the noun following as a sing. or a pl.:] it is the contr. of كَمْ when this latter is not used interrogatively: (T:) [and with مَا affixed, restricting it from government, it may be rendered Few times, or seldom:] or it is used to denote a large number; (K, TA;) i. e. always: so says IDrst: (TA:) [thus used, but such is not always the case, it may be rendered Many, whether we render the noun following it as a sing. or as a pl.: and with مَا affixed, Many times, many a time, oftentimes, ofttimes, often, or frequently:] or it is used to denote a small and a large number; (Mughnee, K;) often the latter, and seldom the former: (Mughnee:) or it is used in a case of boasting, or glorying, (K, TA,) exclusively of other cases, (TA,) to denote a large number: (K, TA:) or it does not denote by itself either a small number or a large number; but one or the other of these meanings is inferred from the context: (K:) [but sometimes neither of these meanings can be clearly inferred from the context: in these cases, it may be rendered Some: and with مَا affixed, Sometimes:] accord. to Er-Radee, its primary meaning is to denote a small number, but it has been so much used to denote a large number as to be in this latter sense as though it were proper, and in the former sense as though it were tropical, requiring context [to explain it]. (Marginal note in my copy of the Mughnee.) [Without the affix ما,] it governs an indeterminate noun (T, * S, Msb, Mughnee, K) only, (T, S, K,) and a pronoun. (S, M, Mughnee.) You say, رُبَّ يَوْمٍ بَكَّرْتُ فِيهِ [Few, or many, days have I gone forth early therein]: (T:) and رُبَّ رَجُلٍ قَائِمٌ [Few, or many, men are standing]: (M:) and رُبَّ رَجُلٍ قَامَ [Few, or many, men stood]: (Msb:) and in like manner, رُبَّتَ ↓ رَجُلٍ ; (Msb;) for the ت in this case is not a denotative of the fem. gender. (Msb.) The pronoun affixed to it is of the third Pers\., (S, M,) and is [generally] sing. and masc., (S, Mughnee,) though it may be followed by a fem. and by a dual and by a pl.: (S:) notwithstanding its being determinate in the utmost degree, its use in this manner is allowable because it resembles an indeterminate noun in its being used without the previous mention of the noun to which it relates; and hence it requires a noun to explain it: (IJ, M:) it annuls the government of رُبَّ; (TA;) and the indeterminate noun that follows it is put in the accus. case as a specificative: (S, Mughnee:) thus you say, رُبَّهُ رَجُلًا قَدْ ضَرَبْتُ [Few, or many, men I have beaten]: (S, M: *) but accord. to the Koofees, you say رُبَّهُ رَجُلًا, (S,) and رُبَّهَا امْرَأَةً, (M,) and رُبَّهُمَا رَجُلَيْنش, and رُبَّهُمْ رِجَالًا, and رُبَّهُنَّ نِسَآءً: he who puts the pronoun in the sing. [in all cases] holds it to be allusive to something unknown; and he who does not put it in the sing. [when it is not followed by a sing. noun] holds it to be used in reply to a question, as though it were said to a man, “Hast thou not any young women? ” and he answered, رُبَّهُنَّ جَوَارٍ قَدْ مَلَكْتُ [Few, or many, young women have I possessed]: Ibn-Es-Sarráj says that the grammarians are as though they were of one consent in holding رُبَّ to be a replicative [app. meaning in a case of this kind, with an affixed pronoun]: (S:) [but it is not always a replicative in a case of this kind; though perhaps it was originally:] AHeyth cites as an ex.

وَرُبَّهُ عَطِبًا أَنْقَذْتُ مِ العَطَبِ [And many a perishing man have I saved from perdition]. (TA. [But the reading commonly found in grammars is مِنْ عَطَبِهْ from his state of perdition.]) The following is an ex. of the use of رُبَّ to denote a small number, [or rather to denote singleness,] أَلَا رُبَّ مَوْلُودٍ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَبٌ وَذِى وَلَدٍ لَمْ يَلْدِهِ أَبَوَانِ [Now surely scarce an instance is there of anyone born not having a father, and of anyone having offspring whom two parents have not procreated]; meaning [our Lord] Jesus and Adam: (Mughnee: [but I have substituted يَلْدِهِ for يَلْدَهُ, the reading in my copy of that work: لَمْ يَلْدِهِ is for لَمْ يَلِدْهُ, for the sake of the metre; like as لِمْ أَجْدِ is for لَمْ أَجِدْ:]) and among the many exs. of its use to denote a large number, is the saying, in a trad., يَا رُبَّ كاَسِيَةٍ فِى الدُّنْيَا عَارِيَةٌ يَوْمَ القِيٰمَةِ [O, many a female having clothing in the present state of existence will be naked on the day of resurrection!]; and the saying of an Arab of the desert, after the ending of Ramadán, يَا رُبَّ صَائِمِهِ لَنْ يَعصُومَهُ وَيَا رُبَّ قَائِمِهِ لَنْ يَقُومَهُ [O, many a keeper of its fast shall not keep its fast again! and O, many a passer of its nights in prayer, or per-former of its تَرَاوِيح, shall not pass its nights in prayer, or perform its تراويح, again!]. (Mughnee.) [But in this last ex., and in others, it relates to few in comparison with others, though many abstractedly.] b2: مَا is affixed to رُبَّ &c. in order that a verb may follow it; (S, Mughnee;) and the verb that follows it is generally a preterite, (T, Mughnee,) as to the letter and the meaning: (Mughnee:) you say, رُبَّمَا جَآءَنِى فُلَانٌ [Seldom, or often, such a one came to me, or has come to me]: (T:) sometimes the verb is a future; (T, Mughnee;) but only when it expresses an event of which one is certain: (T:) so in the saying in the Kur [xv. 2], رُبَّمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ, (T, S, M, Mughnee), meaning Often [will those who have disbelieved wish that they had been Muslims]; (Mughnee, Jel;) or seldom, (Zj, T, M, Jel,) because terrors will bereave them of their reason so that they will but seldom recover reason to wish this; (Jel;) for God's threat is true, as though it had come to pass, and therefore the verb here is equivalent to a preterite [which is often used in the Kur and elsewhere in this manner]. (T.) مَا is also sometimes affixed when a noun follows, (T, Mughnee,) or a nominal proposition, and generally restricts رُبَّ

&c. from governing: thus, Aboo-Duwád says, رُبَّمَا الجَامِلُ المُؤَبَّلُ فِيهِمْ وَعَنَا جِيجُ بَيْنَهُنَّ المِهَارُ

[Sometimes, or often, the numerous herd of camels is among them, and there are swift horses, among which are the colts]: another says, making رُبَّ, with مَا affixed, to govern, رُبَّمَا ضَرْبَةٍ بِسَيْفٍ صَقِيلٍ

قَيْنِ بُصْرَى وَطَعْنَةٍ نَجْلَآءَ [Many a stroke with a polished sword of the forging of Busrà, (the Bozrah of the Bible, a city famous for its sword-blades,) and many a wide spear-wound; or, perhaps, few strokes &c.]: (Mughnee: [but I have substituted قَيْنِ for بَيْنَ, which is the reading in my copy of the Mughnee, an evident mistranscription:]) and another, cited by IAar, says, غَارَةٍ ↓ مَاوِىَّ يَا رُبَّتَمَا شَعْوَآءَ كَاللَّذْعَةِ بِالْمِيسَمِ [Máweeyeh, (مَاوِىَّ being an apocopated proper name of a woman, originally مَاوِيَّةُ,) O, many a raid spreading widely and dispersedly, like the burn with the branding-iron]. (T.

(M.) b2: [Hence, the pl.] رِبَابٌ signifies Companions. (K.) b3: And hence [also], i. e., as pl. of الرُّبَةُ, (S, M,) الرِّبَابُ is an appellation of The [confederate] tribes of Dabbeh; (M, K, TA;) or Teym and 'Adee and 'Okl; (T, TA;) or Teym and 'Adee and 'Owf and Thowr and Ashyab; (TA; [but for the orthography of the last of these names I have found no authority; it is written in the TA اشيب, without any syll. signs;]) and Dabbeh was their paternal uncle; (TA;) or five tribes which united in a confederacy, consisting of Dabbeh and Thowr and 'Okl and Teym and 'Adee: (S:) they were thus called because of their division into distinct bodies; (M;) or because they collected themselves (As, Th, S, TA) in distinct bodies: (Th, M, TA:) or because they united in a confederacy against Temeem Ibn-Murr: (AO, M, TA:) or because they dipped their hands in some رُبّ, and formed a confederacy over it: (As, T, M, K:) or, as some say, because they congregated, and became like the رِبَاب [or bundle] of arrows [used in the game called المَيْسِر]: (TA:) the rel. n. is ↓ رُبِّىٌّ, formed from the sing., (Sb, S, M,) accord. to a rule generally observed except when a [single] man has a pl. word for his name, as كِلَابٌ &c. (S, TA.) b4: The sing. (رُبَّةٌ) also signifies Plenty, or abundance, of the means of subsistence: (K:) and constant, or inseparable, prosperity. (Khálid Ibn-Jembeh, TA.) A2: See also رُبَّى.

having covenants; أَرِبَّةٌ being said by AAF to be pl. of رِبَابٌ in the sense of عَهْدٌ. (IB, TA.) A2: Also A species of plant, (S, M, Msb, K,) of the [season called] صَيْف, (M,) remaining in the end of the صَيْف: (Msb:) or the name of a number of plants which do not dry up in the صَيْف, remaining green in the winter and the صيف [or summer]; among which are the حُلَّب and the رُخَامَى and the مَكْر and the عَلْقَى or عَلْقًى: [see رَبْلٌ:] or a certain soft, or tender, herb, or leguminous plant: (TA:) or any plant that is green in the hot season: or certain species of trees, or of plants, undefined: (M:) pl. رِبَبٌ.

(M.) رُبَتَ and رَبَتَ &c.; and رُبَتَمَا and رَبَتَمَا &c.: see رُبَّ.

رَبَابٌ Clouds: (M:) or white clouds: (S, K:) or clouds that one sees beneath other clouds, (S,) or clouds suspended beneath other clouds, (M,) sometimes white and sometimes black: (S, M:) this latter is said by IB to be the signification commonly known: (TA:) or clouds consisting of an accumulation of parts: (A 'Obeyd, T:) n. un. with ة.

A2: Also A certain instrument of diversion, [meaning, of music,] (K,) having strings, (TA,) with which one plays [lit. beats]. (K.) [The رباب in common use among the Arabs in the present day is a kind of viol. A specimen of it is figured and described in my work on the Modern Egyptians. Being an instrument of remarkable simplicity, it is probably similar to the ancient رباب.] Memdood Ibn-'Abd-Allah El-Wásitee Er-Rabábee became proverbial for his musical skill with the رباب. (K.)

(TA.) A2: It is also a pl. of رُبَّةٌ; (S, M;) not of رِبَّةٌ, as it is said to be by Th [and in the K]. (M.) A3: See also 1, last sentence.

(Msb.) أَربَّآءُ النَّبِىّ [meaning The foster-fathers of the Prophet] is an appellation given to the people [of the tribe of Saad] among whom Mohammad was suckled; as though اربّآء were pl. of رَبِيبٌ [as it is said to be in one of the senses mentioned above].
