تسبَّب إلى فلان بمكروه: فتش عن حجة للإضرار به وأذيته (أماري ديب ص22).
تسبَّب في طلب أنواع المعاش: اجتهد أن يكتسب عيشه بمختلف الوسائل (موللر ص43 - 10) تسبَّب: اشتغل ليكتسب. ففي كتاب الخطيب (ص38 ق): تام الرجولة قليل التسبُّب.
تسبَّب: سبّب، أوجد سبيلاً. ففي عباد (1: 18): وهي التي تسبَّبت عزل تاشفين وإخماله.
انتسبَّ: تعذل، اعتذل (فوك) سَبَّة: سبب (بوشر بربرية) سِبَّة: أيام الأسبوع (محيط المحيط) سبب. في معجم الكالا: (( respeto)) هي حُرْمة أو سَبَب. وأظن إنه فكر في قولهم من سببك أي احتراماً لك.
سبَبَ: وسيلة، ومن يتوصل به إلى غيره. ففي مختارات من تاريخ العرب (ص271): وطلب بعضهم الإذن بالدخول على الخليفة المهدي، فأذن له، وصيَّر سليماً الخادم سبَبه يعلم المهدي بمكانه كلما أراد الدخول. وفي معجم البلاذري. أنت سببي إلى الأمير.
سَبَ: ذكر لين هذه الكلمة بمعنى مصاهرة.
سبب:
والجمع أسباب يراد به الأشخاص أو بالأحرى يراد به الحلفاء، والأصهار، غير أني أرى أن لها معنى أوسع وأنها تعنى حاشية الشخص ومن يعيش معه. ففي المقري (1: 468): ولا أغضى لأحد من أسباب السلطان وأهله حتى تحاموا جانبه فلم يجسر أحد منهم عليه، وتعني أصحاب الشخص، ففي البين 2: 285: وأمر بالقبض عليه وعلى ولده وأسبابه وعلى ابن أخيه هشام وصرفوا عما كان بأيديهم من الأعمال.
وأرى أن هذه الكلمة تدل على نفس هذا المعنى في عبارة مختارات من تاريخ العرب (ص429): وقال: إنه يريد أن يطرد الحسن بن ساهي وعماله من بغداد فطردوا عاملين اثنين ((أخرجوهم وطردوا أسبابهم)).
سبب: وسيلة للحصول على المعاش، حرفة. ويقال: سبب المعاش (ابن جبير ص286) (وفي معجم فوك هذه الكلمة تدل على نفس هذا المعنى كما يؤيد هذا مرادفها العربي) (ابن بطوطة 1: 24). وفي كتاب الخطيب (ص86 و8): وكان أمره في التوكل عجبا لا يلوى على سبب. أي إنه كان عظيم الثقة بالله معتقداً إنه تعالى يزوده بما يحتاج إليه فلم يحترف أي حرفة للمعاش.
سبب: تجارة وصناعة (بوشر) تجارة المفرد (همبرت ص100، دلابورت ص130، ألف ليلة 2: 77) ويستعمل الجمع أسباب في نفس هذا المعنى. (الملابس ص271، ص274 رقم 13).
الأسباب الجوانية: التجارة الداخلية (بوشر) والجمع أسباب: أثاث، أمتعة (بيان 2: 121، المقري 1: 626، مملوك 1، 1: 52 ألف ليلة 3: 7) وفي العبدري (ص54 ق). وجدت فيه (في مسجد دار الندوة) أناساً نزلوه بأسبابهم وهم يعملون أعمالهم من سائر الصناعات. (وفي كتاب الخطيب (ص60 و): جعل الأمر فيه (في الكتاب) بضرب رقابهم وسبى أسبابهم. وفي النويري (مصر ص127 ق) عزله عن الوزارة وأمر بالحوطة على أمواله وأسبابه وذخائره. والمفرد سبب يستعمل في نفس هذا المعني باعتباره اسم جمع (عبد الواحد ص209، بدون ص144).
والجمع أسباب يعنى خاصة أمتعة السفر، ويقال لها أسباب الطريق (المقري 1: 236) أو أسباب السفر (ألف ليلة 1: 55) (ابن جبير ص325، 326، ابن بطوطة 3: 29، 4: 440، المقري 1: 49، 695) وفي العبدري (ص58 ق): ونويت الإقامة بمكة واستأجرت داراً وحصلت أسبابي كلها بمكة. وفيه: فلما كان من الغد بعثت ببعض أسباب بقيت معي إلى مكة.
أسباب: بضاعة (بوشر، المقري 2: 508) حيث يمكن أن تترجم بأمتعة أيضاً كما في عبارة ألف ليلة التي نقلها فريتاج.
والجمع أسباب: حاجات (رولاند) وفي رحلة ابن جبير (ص30): وكان الاجتياز على جيان لقضاء بعض الأسباب. وفي الجريدة الآسيوية (3 184، 2: 218): لينوب عنه في جميع أموره كلها وكافة أسبابه وشؤونه. وأرى أن هذه الكلمة تدل على نفس هذا المعنى في عبارة مختارات من تاريخ العرب (ص500).
سبب: شيء، أمر (فوك) وفي كتاب محمد بن الحارث (ص237): وكان لا يخاليه أحد في مجلس نظره ولا في داره ولا يقرأ كتاباً لأحد في سبب من أسباب الخصومة. وفي (ص336): قد عرفت محبتي لك وشُحِىّ بجميع أسبابك أي أمورك. وفي (ص347) قلَّده أسبابَ الأمانات في بعض الكُورَ. وفي البيان (2: 314): سبب قد ضاع مِنّا. أي ضاع منا شيء (وهو كيس نقود). وفي كتاب الخطيب (ص31 ق) غفلته ونوكه كان هذا الرجل من البله في أسباب الدنيا. وفي حيان - بسام (3: 140 ق): فوصل إليه منها بعض أسباب من ذخائر وثياب.
سبب واحد: مقطع واحد، كلمة ذات مقطع واحد. (بوشر).
سببية: علاقة بين السبب والمسبب (المقدمة 2: 367).
سَبيب: سلاح الفرسان (هلو).
السَّبّاب = السَّبَّابَة: الإصبع القريب من الإبهام (المقري 2: 283) وفي المعجم اللاتيني العربي: الإصبع السَّباب.
سَبَّابَة: كثير السباب (معجم البيان).
تسبُّب وتَسْبيب. حُكْمَ التسبب وتسبيباً؛ عرضيّ، اتفاقي، صدفةً (معجم الماوردي) مسبَّى: سباب، شتِيمة (بوشر).
مسَبِبّ تاجر (بوشر، دومب ص104، هلو، دلابورت ص130، شيرب ديال ص122، ص139).
مُتَسَبّب: عامل (فوك) وربما كانت تدل على هذا المعنى أيضاً في رحلة ابن بطوطة (4: 373).
