(S, A, K.) b2: [Hence,] ما نَبَضَ لَهُ عِرْقُ عَصَبِيَّةٍ (tropical:) [No party-spirit, or zeal in the cause of his party, became roused, or excited, in him;] he did not aid his people, or party, against oppression; was not angry, or zealous, for them, and did not defend them. (A, TA.) b3: and ↓ نَبَضَ نَابِضُهُ (tropical:) His anger became roused, or excited. (A, TA.) b4: [Hence also,] نَبَضَتِ الأَمْعَآءُ, aor. as above, (in the L, written نَبُضَ, but this is doubtless a mistake,] (assumed tropical:) The bowels became in a state of commotion. (TA.) b5: And نَبَضَ البَرْقُ (assumed tropical:) The lightning flashed lightly, or slightly, (K, TA,) like the نَبْض of a vein or an artery. (TA.)

(A, TA. *) b2: انبض القَوْسَ, (T, S, M, A, Mgh,) like

أَنْضَبَهَا, (Lth, T, M,) but the former is the more approved; (Lth, 'Eyn;) and انبض عَنْهَا; (A, Mgh;) or انبض فِيهَا; (AHn, K;) and فيها ↓ نبّض, inf. n. تَنْبيضٌ; (AHn, TA;) in the K, فِيهَا ↓ نَبَضَ, which is a mistake; (TA;) [He twanged the bow;] he made the bow to give a sound: (AHn, K:) or he put the string of the bow in motion, [or made it to vibrate,] (A, K,) or pulled it, (T, S, M, Mgh,) and then let it go, (S, Mgh,) in order that it might twang, (S, K,) or produce a sound: (T, M, Mgh:) and انبض بِالْوَتَرِ (S, A, Mgh) signifies the same: (S, Mgh:) or he took the string of the bow with the ends of his two fingers, and then let it go so that it might fall against the handle of the bow: (JM:) and انبض الوَتَرَ he pulled the string of the bow without an arrow, and then let it go: (Yaakoob:) or he pulled the string of the bow, and then let it go so that he heard it give a sound. (Lh.)

نَابِضٌ [part. n. of 1]. You say, مَا دَامَ فِىَّ عُرَيْقٌ نَابِضٌ لَمْ أَخْذُلْكَ [As long as there remains in me a little artery pulsing, I will not abstain, or hold back, from aiding thee]; i. e., (tropical:) as long as I remain alive.

(Mgh.) مَنْبِضُ القَلْبِ The place where one sees the heart pulsing, (TA,) or in motion; (A, K;) and where one perceives the gentle sound of its [pulsation, or] motion. (A, O.) You say, جَسَّ الطَّبِيبُ مَنْبِضَهُ [The physician felt his place of pulsation], and مَنَابِضَهُمْ [their places of pulsation]. (A, TA.) b2: مَا يُعْرَفُ لَهُ مَنْبِضُ عَسَلَةٍ means (tropical:) He has no origin [known]; like مَضْرِبُ عَسَلَةٍ; (A, TA;) nor any people [to whom he belongs].

A2: اقضّ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ المَضْجَعَ God rendered the bed, or the place where he lay upon his side, rough to him, and dusty: thus the verb is trans. as well as intrans. (S, K. *) and اقضّ الشَّىْءَ He left the thing [consisting of, or overspread with,] small pebbles. (K, * TA.) 5 تَقَضَّضَ and تَقَضَّى: see 7.7 انقضّ It (a thing) broke, or became broken. (Msb.)

(TA.) You say, انقضّ البَازِى عَلَى الصَّيْدِ The hawk [made a stoop, or] flew down swiftly upon the prey, or quarry.

(TA.) b2: [Hence,] اقتضّ الإِدَاوَةَ (assumed tropical:) He opened the head [or mouth] of the اداوة [or water-skin]. (TA.) 10 إِسْتَقْضَ3َ see 1, near the end.

And (assumed tropical:) It (food) was astringent in taste; as also ↓ تَقَبَّضَ.] b6: As such also, قَبَضَهُ, signifies (assumed tropical:) He straitened it; scanted it; made it scanty. (Msb, TA.) You say, قَبَضَ اللّٰهُ الرِزْقَ, aor. and inf. n. as first mentioned, (assumed tropical:) God straitened, scanted, or made scanty, the means of subsistence. (Msb.)

(Az, TA.) قَبْضٌ and بَسْطٌ are terms applied by the investigators of truth among the Soofees to two contrary states of the heart, from both of which it is seldom or never free: the former being an affection of the heart withholding it from dilatation and joy; whether the cause thereof be known, as the remembrance of a sin or an offence, or of an omission, or be not known; and some of them make other divisions thereof. (TA.) [In like manner] you say also, عَنَّا فَمَا قَبَضَكَ ↓ اِنْقَبَضْتُ (tropical:) [Thou shrankest from us: and what made thee to shrink?].
