q. v. infrà] (
Ksh and
Bd in xiii. 28) and تَطْيَابٌ, (
S,
K,) [the last of which is of a measure denoting intensiveness, and is said in the
TA to be with fet-h because it is unsound, whereas the
inf. n. of a sound verb, if of the measure تفعال, is with kesr, but this is a strange mistake, (see 2 in art. بين,)] It was, or became, the
contr. of خَبِيث, (
S,
Mgh,) in two senses: (
Mgh:) [i. e.] it was, or became, [good,] pleasant, delightful, delicious, sweet, or savoury;
syn. لَذَّ; (
A,
K;) or كَانَ لَذِيذًا; (
Msb;) or it was esteemed [good,] pleasant, delightful, delicious, sweet, or savoury, in taste, and in odour: (
Mgh:) and it was, or became, pure, (
Mgh,
K,) or clean. (
Mgh.) [See also طَيِّبٌ.]
b2: [Hence,] طَابَتْ
نَفْسُــهُ (assumed
tropical:) His mind [or he himself] was, or became, [cheerful, happy, pleased,] dilated, or free from straitness. (
Msb.) And طِبْتُ بِهِ

i. q. طَابَتْ بِهِ
نَفْسِــى (assumed
tropical:) [i. e. I, or my mind, was, or became, cheerful, happy, pleased, or dilated, by means of it; agreeably with what next precedes: or pleased, content, or willing, to grant, concede, give, or do, it]: (
S,
O,
K:) [for]
طَابَتْ
نَفْسُــهُ بِالشَّىْءِ [often] signifies (
tropical:) He granted, conceded, or gave, the thing, liberally, [willingly, or of his own good pleasure,] without constraint, and without anger. (

نَفْسٍ (assumed
tropical:) I did that [of my own free will; willingly;] not being constrained by any one. (
S, O.) And طَابَتْ
نَفْسِــى عَلَيْهِ (assumed
tropical:) [My mind was agreeable to it]; said when a thing is agreeable, or suitable, to one's mind; and [in like manner]
طِبْتُ
نَفْسًــا عَلَيْهِ. (
TA.) And طَابَتْ
نَفْسُــهُ لِلْعَمَلِ وَغَيْرِهِ [He was cheerful, happy, pleased, or willing, to do work &c.]. (
K in art. نشط.) and طَابَتْ
نَفْسِــى عَنْ ذٰلِكَ تَرْكًا (assumed
tropical:) [I was pleased, willing, or content, to leave, give up, relinquish, or be without, that]; and [in like manner] طِبْتُ

tropical:) [But if they be pleased, or willing, or content, to give up, or relinquish, or remit, unto you somewhat thereof]. (

A,
O,
Msb,
TA,)
inf. n. طِيبٌ (
Msb,
K) and طِيبَةٌ, (
K,) (
tropical:) It was, or became, lawful, allowable, or free. (
A,
O,
Msb,
K, *
TA.) [In the
K, الطِّيبُ and الطِّيبَةُ are
expl. as meaning الحِلُّ, which Golius has supposed to mean in this case “ quod licitum, legitimum; ” and which Freytag has in like manner
expl. as meaning “ res licita,” and “ licitum: ” but it is here an
inf. n., of حَلَّ; not
syn. with the
epithet الحَلَالُ, which is given as an explanation of الطَّيِّبُ.] You say, طَابَ لِى كَذَا (
tropical:) Such a thing became, or has become, lawful, &c., to me. (
A.) Hence the saying of Aboo-Hureyreh, اَلْآنَ طَابَ الضِّرَابُ, (

O,
TA,) as some relate it,
accord. to the
dial. of Himyer, (
TA,) meaning طَاب الضَّرْبُ, i. e. (assumed
tropical:) Now fighting has become lawful. (
O,
TA.) فَانْكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَآءِ, in the

A3: مَا أَطْيَبَهُ, and مَا أَيْطَبَهُ, the latter formed by
transposition, (
S,
TA,) or a
dial. var. of the former, (
TA in art. يطب,) and أَطْيِبْ بِهِ, and أَيْطِبْ بِهِ, are all allowable [as meaning How good, pleasant, delightful, delicious, or sweet, is he, or it! or how pure, or clean, &c.!]. (
TA.)
b2: And one says, مَا أَطْيَبَ

Msb,
K,) and ↓ اطابهُ, (
TA,) and ↓ أَطْيَبَهُ, and ↓ طيّبهُ, (

accord. to the A.]
b3: And استطاب He shaved his pubes. (
O,
K,
TA.)
b4: And He asked people for sweet water. (
K.) Thus,
accord. to
IAar, the saying [of a poet]
فَلَمَّا اسْتَطَابُوا صُبَّ فِى الصَّحْنِ نِصْفُهُ means And when they asked for sweet water [the half of it was poured forth into the bowl]: but it is also
expl. agreeably with what here follows. (
TA.)
b5: He (a man) drank طَابَة [i. e. wine]: so in the
M. (
TA.) طَابٌ is an
inf. n. of طَابَ, (
K,) and
syn. with طِيبٌ and also with طَيِّبٌ,
q. v.: a poet says, praising 'Omar Ibn-'Abd-El-'Azeez, مُقَابَلُ الإِعْرَاقِ فِى الطَّابِ الطَّابْ بَيْنَ أَبِى العَاصِى وَآلِ الخَطَّابْ [i. e. Rooted by the father's and the mother's side in unsullied goodness, or the like, between Abu-l- 'Ásee on the one side and the family of ElKhattáb on the other: for it is evidently cited as an
ex. of الطاب used as a
subst. and as an
epithet; so that by فى الطاب الطاب is meant فى الطِّيبِ الطَّيِّبِ: otherwise it might be supposed that the literal repetition is meant to denote simply corroboration, as appears to be the case in an instance which will be mentioned in what follows:] the object of praise being the son of 'Abd-El-'Azeez the son of Marwán the son of El-Hakam the son of Abu-l-'Ás [or 'Ásee], and his mother being Umm-'Ásim the daughter of 'Ásim the son of 'Omar the son of El-Khattáb. (
S, O.)
b2: عَذْقُ ابْنِ طَابٍ is the name of A sort of palm-trees in El-Medeeneh [

S, O:) or اِبْنُ طَابٍ is a name of a sort of fresh ripe dates: (
K:) and عَذْقُ ابْنِ طَابٍ and عَذْقُ ابْنِ زَيْدٍ are two sorts of dates: (
S:)
accord. to
IAth, رُطَبُ ابْنِ طَابٍ is the name of a sort of dates of El-Medeeneh so called in relation to Ibn-
Táb, a man of its inhabitants. (
TA.)
b3: طاب طاب is [asserted to be] One of the names of the Prophet in the Gospel; [but where said to occur, I know not;] the interpretation of مأذ مأذ; [
app. a mistranscription for مَاذ مَاذ, meaning “ very good in disposition,”
&c.;] the second word corroborating, and denoting intensiveness of signification. (
TA.) طُوبٌ, mentioned in this art. in the
S and
K, [as though it were originally طُيْبٌ,] see in art. طوب.
طِيبٌ an
inf. n. of طَابَ. (
O,
Mgh, *
Msb,
K.) [Used as a simple
subst., Goodness, pleasantness, &c.] You say, مَا بِهِ مِنَ الطِّيبِ [There is not in him aught of goodness, &c.]: you should not say, من الطِّيبَةِ. (
S, O.) [See also طَابٌ: and طُوبَى.]
b2: [Also] a word of well-known meaning; (
K;) [A perfume; a fragrant, or an odoriferous, substance;] a substance with which one perfumes himself, (
S,
O,
Msb,) of what is termed عِطْر. (
Msb.) [The
pl. accord. to Golius and Freytag is أَطْيَابٌ. Hence, جَوْزُ الطِّيبِ The nutmeg: see جوز.]
b3: Also The most excellent of any sort of thing. (
K.) [See also أَطْيَبُ: and طَيِّبَةٌ.]
طَابَةٌ Wine: (
S,
O,
K:) as though meaning طَيِّبَةٌ; and originally طَيَبَةٌ: (
AM,
TA:) or
i. q. عَصِيرٌ [i. e. expressed juice]. (
TA, from an explanation of a
trad.)
A2: طَابَةُ: see what next follows.
طَيْبَةُ a name of The city of the Prophet; (
S,
O,
Msb,
K;) as also ↓ طَابَةُ, (
O,
Msb,

TA.) طِيبَةٌ an
inf. n. of طَابَ. (

tropical:) Persons (
As,
TA) made captive lawfully, (
As,
S, *
A,
O, *
K, *
TA,) without perfidy and breach of covenant, (
S,
A,
O,
K,) not made so when a covenant is existing with them, (
As,
TA,) nor when there is any doubt respecting their state of slavery: (
O:) طِيَبَةٌ, in the sense of طَيِّبٌ, is [said to be] the only instance among nouns, (
TA,) or rather among epithets, (
MF,
TA,) of فِعَلَةٌ, with kesr and then fet-h, (
TA,) i. e. with only fet-h to the ع. (
MF,
TA.) طُوبَى, of the measure فُعْلَى from الطِّيبُ, originally طُيْبَى, (
Zj,
S,
O,
Msb,) an
inf. n. of طَابٌ, (
Ksh and
Bd in xiii. 28,)
syn. with طِيبٌ: (
Seer,
K: [in my
MS copy of the
K طَيِّب, a manifest mistake:]) and
fem. of أَطْيَبُ: (
ISd,
K:) and
pl. of طَيِّبَةٌ, (
K,)
accord. to
Kr, who says that there is no word like it except كُوسَى
pl. of كَيِّسَةٌ, and ضُوقَى
pl. of ضَيِّقَةٌ; but
ISd says that, in his opinion, طُوبَى and كُوسَى and ضُوقَى are fems. of أَطْيَبُ and أَكْيَسُ and أَضْيَقُ, because فُعْلَى is not a
pl. measure:
Kr also adds that they did not say ↓ طِيبَى, like as they said كِيسَى and ضِيقَى; (
TA; [see ضُوقَى, in art. ضيق;]) [but
Sgh says that] ↓ طِيبَى is a
dial. var. of طُوبَى: (
O:) Aboo-Hátim Sahl Ibn-Mohammad Es-Sijistánee relates that an Arab of the desert, reciting as a pupil to him, persisted in pronouncing طُيْبَى for طُوبَى: (
TA:) it signifies حُسْنَى [as meaning A good final, or ultimate, state or condition]: and (some say,
O,
Msb) خَيْرٌ [meaning good, good fortune, and the like]: (
O,
Msb,
K:) and خِيرَةٌ [meaning God's blessing or favour, &c.]; (
K;) as some say: (
TA:) or eternal life: (
Zj,
TA:) or a pleasant life: (
Msb:) and (
O,
K) a certain tree in Paradise; (
S,
O,
K;) thus the Prophet is related to have said; and
MF says that it is a proper name thereof, not admitting the article ال, and the like is said in the
M: (
TA:) or it signifies Paradise in the Indian language; (
O,
K;) or,
accord. to Sa'eed Ibn-Jubeyr, in the Abyssinian language: (
O:) as also ↓ طِيبَى. (
K.) These different significations are assigned by different persons to this word in the phrase in the
Kur [xiii. 28] طُوبَى لَهُمْ [which seems to be best rendered as an announcement, meaning A good final state, &c., shall be to them, or be their lot]: (
Msb,
TA:)
Sb holds that it is an invocation of good, or a prayer, [as though قُلْ i. e. “ say thou ” were understood before it,] and that طوبى is virtually in the
nom. case, i. e. مَرْفُوع, as is shown by the words immediately following وَحُسْنُ مَآبٍ: but
Th, who makes طوبى to be an
inf. n. like رُجْعَى, says that one reading is طُوبَى لَهُمْ وَحُسْنَ مَآبٍ, like the phrase سَقْيًا لَهُ:
MF, however, [supposing
Th to have said طُوبًى, though I think it indubitable that he said طُوبَى, and only meant that it was used as virtually, not literally, with tenween,] observes that رُجْعًى, with tenween, is not known to have been transmitted from any one of the leading authorities on the Arabic language. (
TA.) Katádeh says that طُوبَى لَهُمْ is a phrase of the Arabs; who say, طُوبَى لَكَ إِنْ فَعَلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا [A good final state &c., be to thee, or be thy lot, or shall be to thee, if thou do such and such things]: and it is said in a
trad., طُوبَى لِلشَّأْمِ [May good, &c., betide Syria]; in which case, طوبى is of the measure فُعْلَى from الطِّيبُ, and does not mean “ Paradise,” nor “ the tree. ” (
L,
TA.) One says, طُوبَى لَكَ and طُوبَاكَ; (
S,
K;) but not طُوَبيْكَ: (Yaakoob,
S, O: [in one of my copies of the
S طُوبِيكَ:]) or طُوبَاكَ is a barbarism: (
O,
K:) it is disallowed by the
T, and by most of the grammarians: but
Akh says that it is used by some of the Arabs; and Ibn-El-Moatezz uses it in the following verse:
مَرَّتْ بِنَا سَحَرًا طَيْرٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا
طُوبَاكِ يَا لَيْتَنَا إِيَّاكِ طُوبَاكِ [A flock of birds passed by us a little before daybreak, and I said to them, Good betide you: would that we were you: good betide you]: Esh-Shiháb El-Khafájee says that ل is understood [before the ك] in طوباك; but
MF has argued well against this assertion. (
TA.) طِيبَى: see the next preceding paragraph, former half, in three places.
طِيَابٌ A sort of palm-trees of El-Basrah, (
L,
K,
TA,) the dates of which, when the gathering has been delayed beyond the usual time, fall, one after another, from their stones, so that the raceme remains with nothing upon it but the stones hanging to the bases of the dates; though they are large; and if the fruit is gathered when fully ripe, the stone does not come off with it. (
L,
TA.) طَيِّبٌ (
S,
M,
Mgh,
O,

Kur [xxiv. 26], where it is said, الطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلطَّيِّبِينَ; by the طيّبين being meant the pure of men;
