TA:)
Az says that سَبَتَ in the first of these senses is not known in the language of the Arabs: (
TA:) [but
J says that] the primary signification of سُبَاتٌ is “ rest: ” and hence the former of these verbs signifies he slept. (
S.)

K,) or يَوْمُ السَّبْتِ, (
S,
Msb,) [The sabbath, or Saturday;] one of the days of the week; (
M,
K;) the seventh of those days: (
M:) so called because the creation commenced on the first day of the week and continued to [the end of] Friday, and on the سبت there was no creation, the work having ceased thereon: or, as some say, because the Jews ceased thereon from work, and the management of affairs: (
M,
TA:) or because the days [of the week] end thereon: (
S,
TA:)
Az says that he errs who asserts it to have been so called because God commanded the Children of Israel to rest thereon, and that God created the heavens and the earth in six days, whereof the last was Friday, then rested, and the work ceased, and therefore He named the seventh day يوم السبت: this, he says, is an error, because [he affirms that] سَبَتَ as meaning “ he rested ” is not known in the language of the Arabs, but signifies قَطَعَ; and rest cannot be attributed to God, because He knows not fatigue, and rest is only after fatigue and work: (
TA:) the
pl. [of pauc.] is أَسْبُتٌ and [of mult.] سُبُوتٌ: (
S,
M,
Msb,
K:) it has no
dim. (
Sb,
S in art. امس.)
b3: سَبْتٌ also means A week; from the سَبْت to the سَبْت [i. e. from the sabbath to the sabbath]: so in the saying, in a
trad., فَمَا رَأَيْنَا الشَّمْسَ سَبْتًا [And we saw not the sun for a week]: as when one says “ twenty autumns ” meaning “ twenty years: ” or it means in this instance a space of time, whether short or long. (
TA.)
b4: I. q. بُرْهَةٌ [i. e. A space, or period, or a long space or period,] (
M,
K,
TA) مِنَ الدَّهْرِ [of time]: (
TA:) so in the saying, أَقَمْتُ سَبْتًا [I remained, staid, dwelt, or abode, a space, or a long space, of time]; as also ↓ سَبْتَةً and ↓ سَنْبَتًا and ↓ سَنْبَتَتًا. (
M,
K.)
b5: And
i. q. دَهْرٌ [meaning Time; or a long time; or a space, or period, of time, whether long or short; &c.]; as also ↓ سُبَاتٌ. (
S,
M,
K.) And [hence] ↓ اِبْنَا سُبَاتٍ means (assumed
tropical:) The night and the day: (
S,
M,
K:) Ibn Ahmar says, وَكُنَّا وَهُمْ كَابْنَىْ سُبَاتٍ تَفَرَّقَا سِوًى ثُمَّ كَانَا مُنْجِدًا وَتَهَامِيَا [And we were, with them, like the night and the day that parted asunder alike, then became one going towards Nejd and one going towards Tihámeh]: (
S,
K:) such, they say, is the meaning: (
S:) or, as
IB says, on the authority of Aboo-Jaafar Mohammad Ibn-Habeeb, ابنا سبات were two men, one of whom saw the other in a dream, and then one of them awoke in Nejd, and the other in Tihámeh: or they were two brothers, one of whom went to the east to see where the sun rose, and the other to the west to see where it set. (
L,
TA.)
A2: Also A certain pace (

A3: A swift, or an excellent, horse; (

b3: A man cunning, i. e. possessing intelligence, or sagacity, or intelligence mixed with craft and forecast; and excellent in judgment; or very cunning &c.; (
K,
TA;) silent, or lowering his eyes, looking towards the ground; (
TA;) and ↓ سُبَاتٌ signifies the same. (
K,
TA.)
b4: A man who sleeps much; (
K;) i. e. كَثِيرُ السُّبَاتِ. (

سُبْتٌ A certain plant, resembling the خِطْمِىّ [or marsh-mallow]; (
Kr,
M,
K;) as also ↓ سَبْتٌ, (
K [there expressly said to be with fet-h],) or ↓ سِبْتٌ: (
M [so written in a copy of that work]:) said to be a certain plant used for tanning. (
MF.) See the next paragraph.
سِبْتٌ The hides, or skins, of oxen; (
M,
K;) whether tanned or not tanned: so some say: (
M:) or (so
accord. to the
M, in the
K and
TA “ and,” but the و is omitted in the
CK,) any tanned hide; (
As,
AA,
M,
K;) said to be so called [because the tanning removes the hair,] from السَّبْتُ, “the act of shaving: ” (
AA,
TA:) or such. as is tanned with قَرَظ [
q. v.]: (
M,
K:) or only ox-hides tanned: so says
AHn on the authority of
As and
Az: (
TA:) or ox-hides tanned with قَرَظ, (
S,
Mgh,) whereof are made [the sandals called] ↓ نِعَالٌ سِبْتيَّةٌ: (
S) these are hence thus called: (
Mgh:) they are sandals having no hair upon them: (
M,
Msb:) or sandals tanned with قرَظ: (
AA,
TA:)
accord. to
Az, they are thus called because their hair has been shaven off (سُبِتَ, i. e. حُلِقَ,) and removed by a wellknown process in tanning, (
Mgh, *
TA,) so that they are soft; and they are of the sandals of people that lead a life of ease and softness: (
Mgh:)
IAar says that they are thus called because of their having become soft by the tanning:
accord. to this, they should be called ↓ سَبْتِيَّة; and so
accord. to a saying of EdDáwoodee, that they are called in relation to سُوقُ السَّبْتِ [“ the Market of the Sabbath ”]: it is also said that they are called in relation to the ↓ سُبْت, with damm, which is a plant used for tanning therewith; so that they should be called ↓ سُبْتِيَّة, unless the appellation be an instance of a rel.
n. deviating from its source of derivation [or unless this plant be also termed سِبْتٌ, as it is
accord. to a copy of the
M]: (
TA:) see سُبْتٌ.
It is related of the Prophet, that he saw a man walking among the graves wearing his sandals, and said, يَا صَاحِبَ السِّبْتَينِ اِخْلَعْ سِبْتَيْكَ [meaning (
tropical:) O wearer of the pair of sandals of سِبْت, pull off thy pair of sandals of سِبْت]: (
S, *
TA:) and
accord. to the
A, they are thus termed tropically: it is like the saying “ Such a one wears wool, and cotton, and silk; ” meaning “ garments made thereof; ” as is said in the
Nh: but, as some relate it, what he said was, ↓ يَا صَاحِبَ السِّبْتِيَّيْنِ, the last of these words being a rel.
n.; and thus it is found in the handwriting of
Az, in his book. (
TA.) سِبِتٌّ, (
M,
L,
K,) like فِلِزٌّ, (
TA,) [in a copy of the
M erroneously written سِبْت,] A certain plant; [anethum graveolens, or dill, of the common garden-species;] an arabicized word, from [the
Pers\.] شِبِتّ [or شِبِتْ]: (
AHn,
M,
L:) or
i. q. شِبِتٌّ; both words arabicized from شِوِذْ [or شِوِدْ]: (
K:) asserted by some to be the same as سَنُّوتٌ [
q. v.]: (
M,
L:)
Az says that شِبِتٌّ, the name of a well-known herb, or leguminous plant, is an arabicized word; that he had heard the people of El-Bahreyn call it سِبِتٌّ, with the unpointed س, and with ت; that it is originally, in
Pers\., شِوِذْ; and that it has another
dial. var., namely, سبط [i. e. سِبِطٌّ]. (El-Jawáleekee,
TA.) سَبْتَةٌ: see سَبْتٌ, in the middle of the paragraph.
A2: Also Goats, collectively. (

Az,
K:) or أَرْضٌ سَبْتَآءُ is like صَحْرَآءُ: or a land in which are no trees: (
M:) and
i. q. ↓ مَسْبُوتَةٌ [i. e. a bare land; as though shorn of its herbage]: (
TA:)
pl. سَبَاتِىُّ. (
M.)
b2: Also, [in like manner] a
fem. epithet, Having spreading, or expanded, ears, whether long or short. (
K.) سَبْتِىٌّ One who fasts alone on the سَبْت [i. e. sabbath, or Saturday]: thus in the saying mentioned by
Th, on the authority of
IAar, لَا تَكُ سَبْتِيًّا [Be not thou one who fasts &c.]. (
M.) نِعَالٌ سِبْتِيَّةٌ, and سَبْتِيَّةٌ, and سُبْتِيَّةٌ; and the dual. of سِبْتِىٌّ, applied to a pair of sandals: see سِبْتٌ, in four places.
سِبْتَانٌ, with kesr, Foolish, stupid, or of little sense; (
K,
TA;) confounded, or perplexed, and unable to see his right course; without understanding. (
TA.) سُبَاتٌ primarily signifies Rest [like سَبْتٌ]: (
S,
Msb:) and hence, sleep: (
S,
K:) or heavy sleep: (
Msb:) or sleep that is hardly perceptible (خَفِىّ,
M,
K, [in some copies of the
K, as mentioned by Freytag, خَفِيف, i. e. light,]), like a swoon: (
M:) or the commencement of sleep in the head [and its continuance] until it reaches the heart: (
Th,
M,
K:) or the sleep of one who is sick; i. e. light sleep: (
TA:) and ↓ سَبْتٌ signifies the same as سُبَاتٌ. (
T,
TA.) Hence, in the
Kur [lxxviii. 9, and in like manner the word is used in xxv. 49], وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا; (
S;) i. e. قَطْعًا; as though a man, when he slept, were cut off from [the rest of] mankind: (
IAar,
TA:) or سبات is when one is cut off, or ceases, from motion, while the soul still remains in the body; i. e., the text means, And we have made your sleep to be rest unto you: (
Zj,
TA:) or we have made your sleep to be a cutting off from sensation and motion, for rest to the animal forces, and for causing their weariness to cease: or, to be death: (
Bd:) or, to be rest unto your bodies by the interruption of labour, or work. (
Jel.)

سَبُوتٌ A she-camel that goes the pace termed سَبْتٌ: or constantly going the pace termed عَنَقٌ. (
M.) سَبَنْتًى, (
S,
M,
K,) as also سَبَنْدًى, (
S,) Bold, or daring; (
S,
M,
K;) as an
epithet applied to anything [i. e. man or brute]: the ى is added to render it
quasi-coordinate to the class of quinqueliteral-radical words, not to denote the
fem. gender, for it receives ة as a termination [to denote the
fem.], becoming سَبَنْتَاةٌ; (
S;) and has tenween. (
TA.) A poet applies the
fem. epithet to a she-camel. (
S.)
b2: Also The leopard; (
S,
M,
K;) so too with ة; (
AHeyth,
L in art. سبد;) and so سَبَنْدًى: probably thus called because of his boldness, or daringness: (
S:) or, as some ay, the lion:
fem. with ة: or the fem, signifies a bold, or daring, lioness: or a she-camel of bold, or daring, breast; but this last is not of valid authority: (
M:) and a beast of prey [absolutely]: (
L in art. سيد:)
pl. سَبَانِتُ; (
K,
TA;) and some of the Arabs make سَبَاتِى [or rather سَبَاتٍ] to be its

TA.) مَسْبُوتٌ Affected with [the kind, or degree, or semblance, of sleep termed] سُبَات [
q. v.]: (
IAar,
M:) or affected with a swoon: and, applied to a sick man, prostrated like him who is sleeping, generally closing his eyes: (
S:) or confounded, or perplexed, and unable to see his right course: (
Msb:) and ↓ سَبْتٌ signifies the same as مَسْبُوتٌ; as in the saying, cited by
As, يُصْبِحُ مَخْمُورًا وَيُمْسِى سَبْتَا [He is in the morning affected with the remains of intoxication, and he is in the evening affected with sleep, or heavy sleep, &c.]. (
