صَابِئٌ [part.
n. of صَبَأَ: and as such signifying] One who departs from his religion to another religion. (
Msb.) The Arabs used to call the Prophet الصَّابِى [for الصَّابِئُ], because he departed from the religion of Kureysh to El-Islám; and him who entered the religion of El-Islám, مَصْبُوٌّ, changing the ء to و; and the Muslims [collectively], الصُّبَاةٌ, as though
pl. of الصَّابِىِ, without ء, like قُضَاةٌ and غُزَاةٌ pls. of قَاضٍ and غَازٍ. (

Kur [
v. 73, &c.,] is said by
Zj to mean Those who depart from one religion to another. (

Sábi the son of Sheyth [or Seth] the son of Adam: their appellation may also be pronounced الصَّابِيُونَ, and thus Náfi' read it [in the
Kur]: (
Msb:) or the صَابِئُونَ are a certain class of the people who possess revealed scripture: (
S:) or a people whose religion resembles that of the Christians, except that their kibleh is towards the place whence blows the [south, or southerly, wind called] جَنُوب: (
Lth,
T,
TA:) [or] whose kibleh is from (مِنْ [or this may mean some point of]) the place whence blows the [north, or northerly, wind called] شَمَال at midday: (

accord. to some, their kibleh is the Kaabeh: (
MF:) and they assert that they are of the religion of Noah, (
Lth,
T,
M,
K,) lyingly: (
Lth,
T,

R it is said that they are thus called in relation to
Sábi the son of
Lámak [or Lamech], the brother of Noah:
Bd says, it is said that they are worshippers of the angels: and it is said that they are worshippers of the stars: and that their appellation is Arabic; from صَبَأَ “ he departed from a religion; ” or from صَبَا “ he inclined,” because of their inclining from truth to falsehood. (
MF,
TA.)
