1 خَبَطَ,
aor. ـِ (
Msb,
K,
TA,)
inf. n. خَبْطٌ, (
Msb,
TA, &c.,) He struck, or beat, (
Msb,
TA,) anything: (
TA:) or he struck, or beat, it, or him, vehemently: (
M,
K,
TA:) or خَبْطٌ signifies a camel's striking, or beating, a thing with his fore foot: (
T,
TA:) or in the cases of beasts, (دَوَابّ, [generally meaning horses and mules and asses,]) the striking, or beating, with the fore feet; not with the hind feet: and in the case of the camel, with the fore foot and the hind foot: or vehement treading; or of the fore feet of beasts (دوابّ): (
TA:) or,
accord. to the Keshsháf, the act of striking, or beating, in a way that is not right: or, as some say, the going, or journeying, upon what is not the middle, or main part, of the road, or what is not the main road, or upon a road not open to view: or continuous, or consecutive, striking, or beating, in different ways: and afterwards tropically applied to any (
tropical:)beating, or striking, that is not approved: or originally, the striking, or beating, with the fore foot or the hind foot, and the like: (
MF,
TA:) with the fore feet or legs, it is like رَمْحٌ with the hind feet or legs. (
TA.) You say, of a camel, خَبَطَ الأَرْضَ, (
Msb,) or خَبَطَ الأَرْضَ بِيَدِهِ, (
S,
K,)
inf. n. as above, (
S,) He struck, or beat, the ground with his fore foot: (
S,
Msb:) or he struck, or beat, vehemently the ground with his fore foot; and ↓ تخبّط and ↓ اختبط signify the same: (
K:) it is said in the O that خَبَطَهُ signifies he struck him with his fore foot, or hand, and prostrated him, as also ↓ تخبّطهُ: and ↓ اختبط, said of a camel, is
syn. with خَبَطَ: and in the
T, that بِرِجْلِهِ ↓ تَخَبَّطَنِى is syn, with خَبَطَنِى. (
TA.) Hence the
trad., لَا تَخْبِطُوا خَبْطَ الجَمَلِ [
lit. Ye shall not beat the ground as the camel does with his fore foot in rising]; meant to forbid a man's putting forward his foot in rising from prostration [in prayer]. (

K,
TA,)
aor. and
inf. n. as above, (
TA,) signifies also He trod him, or it, vehemently, (

S,) فُلَانٌ يَخْبِطُ خَبْطَ عَشْوَآءَ (
S, *
TA) (
tropical:) [Such a one goes at random, in a headstrong and reckless manner,] like the weak-sighted she-camel that beats the ground with her fore feet (تَخْبِطُ) as she goes along, not guarding herself from anything. (
S,
TA.) It is a
prov., applied to him who turns away from a thing as though he were not cognizant of it: or to him who is continually falling into a thing. (
Har p. 239.) Zuheyr says, رَأَيْتُ المَنَايَا خَبْطَ عَشْوَآءَ مَنْ تُصِبْ تُمِتْهُ وَمَنْ تُخْطِئْ يُعَمَّرْ فَيَهْرَمِ I saw the fates [treading mankind] like the treading of the weak-sighted she-camel; whom they smote, him they killed: and whom they missed, he was made to continue in life so that he lived to extreme old age. (
TA, and
EM p. 132.) In like manner you say, فُلَانٌ يَخْبِطُ فِى عَمْيَآءَ (
tropical:) Such a one undertakes what he undertakes with ignorance. (
TA.) And خَبَطَ أَمْرَهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ بَصيرَةٍ (assumed

S in art. عشو,
q. v.) and يَخْبِطُ فِى الظَّلَامِ (

tropical:) The act of journeying, or going, without direction: or upon what is not the middle, or main part, of the road, or what is not the main road. (
TA.)
b3: [And hence, perhaps,] خَبَطَهُ (
tropical:) He asked of him a benefit, or favour, without any tie of relationship; (
K, *
TA;) as also ↓ اختبطهُ: (
IB,
K:) or this is from خَبْطُ وَرَقِ الشَّجَرِ [explained in what follows]: (
Har p. 425:) or the latter, [or both,] he came to him seeking his beneficence without any such tie: (
S:) or he came to him seeking a gift; because he who does so must beat the ground with his feet: (
IF:) and you also say, مَعْرُوفَهُ ↓ اختبط. (Aboo-
Málik,
TA.) [The latter verb is the more common. See also 10.]
b4: And (
tropical:) He conferred a benefit upon him without there having been any acquaintance between them, (
S,
K,
TA,) and without there being anything to draw them near, and without there being any relationship: (

TA:) or he bestowed on him a benefit, (
K,
TA,) being asked: (
TA:) and you say also, بِخَيْرٍ ↓ اختبطهُ: (Aboo-
Málik,
TA:) and خَبَطَ فِيهِمْ بِخَيْرٍ signifies (assumed
tropical:) He benefited them. (
TA.) 'Alkameh Ibn-'Abadeh says, (
S,
TA,) praising El-Hárith Ibn-AbeeShemir, (
TA,) وَفِى كُلِّ حَىٍّ قَدْ خَبَطْتَ بِنِعْمَةٍ (assumed
tropical:) [And upon every tribe thou hast conferred benefit,
app. meaning without being related to them]: (
S,
TA:) but it is said in a marginal note to the
S, that خَبَطَّ would be better; and so it is
accord. to one relation: in the
L, however, it is said that خَبَتَّ would be more agreeable with
analogy. (
TA.)
Accord. to
Az, خَبَطْتُ الرَّجُلَ,
inf. n. خَبْطٌ, signifies (assumed
tropical:) I held loving communion, commerce, or intercourse, with the man. (
TA.)
b5: [In respect of the places which I have given to the abovementioned significations of asking and conferring a benefit, I have followed the opinion of
IF; but it is said in the

TA,) by beating it with a staff, or stick, to give them as food to camels and other beasts. (
TA.) The leaves are stored up for the camels; and in wintertime are bruised, or broken up, for them, and moistened with water, and given to them as fodder. (
Har p. 218.) Mohammad was asked, Does الغَبْط [i. e. “ the wishing for a blessing on the condition that it shall not become transferred from its possessor ”] injure [its author]? and he answered, لَا إِلَّا كَمَا يَضُرُّ العِضَاهَ الخَبْطُ [No, save as the beating off the leaves injures the trees called 'idáh]; i. e., it only diminishes, without annulling, its author's recompense, like the beating off the leaves of the 'idáh, without cutting them down and extirpating them; for the leaves will grow again.

tropical:) [They shall not rise save as he riseth whom the devil prostrateth by reason of possession, or insanity]; i. e., as he who is affected by diabolical possession rises, in his state of possession, when he is prostrated, and falls: or it means, whom the devil corrupts, or disorders, by rendering him insane.
