غبن
1 غَبَنَهُ, (
S,
MA,
Msb,
K,)
aor. ـِ (
Msb,
K,)
inf. n. غَبْنٌ (
S,
MA,
Msb,
K,
KL) and غَبَنٌ, or the former is [the
inf. n. used in this case, i. e.] in selling [and the like], and the latter is in judgment, or opinion, (
K, agreeably with a positive statement in the
S,) He cheated, deceived, overreached, or defrauded, him, (
S,
MA,
K,
KL,
TA,) in selling; (
S,
MA,
K,
TA;) he endamaged him, or made him to suffer loss or damage or detriment, (
Msb,
KL,
TA,) in selling, (
KL,
TA,) &c., (
KL,) or in the price, or otherwise: (
Msb:) [or] he overcame him in selling and buying. (
Msb.) And غُبِنَ He was cheated, or deceived [&c. in a purchase]: (
S,
K,
TA:) and ↓ انغبن [in like manner signifies] he became [cheated or endamaged or] overcome in selling and buying. (
Msb.) And it is said that غَبَنَ فِى البَيْعِ,
inf. n. غَبْنٌ, signifies He was unmindful, or inadvertent, [or perhaps غَبَنَ is here a mistranscription for غُبِنَ, signifying thus, and therefore meaning he was made to suffer loss,] in selling or in buying. (
TA.) And one says also, غُبِنَ الرَّجُلُ أَشَدَّ الغَبَنَانِ [The man was cheated or deceived &c. with the utmost degree of cheating &c.]. (Ibn-Buzurj,
TA.) غَبْنٌ يَسِيرٌ [A petty overreaching or endamaging] is one of which the rate is such as has been estimated [as allowable by custom] by one estimator, not by every one: and غَبْنٌ فَاحِشٌ [An exorbitant overreaching or endamaging] is one of which the rate is such as has not been estimated [as allowable by custom] by any one. (Dict. of Technical Terms used in the Sciences of the Musalmans.) [الغُبْنُ وَالغَبَنُ mentioned by Freytag as occurring in the
Fákihet el-Khulafà, and
expl. by him as meaning “ Fraus omnimoda,” should, I doubt not, be الغَبْنُ وَالغَبَنُ, the two
inf. ns. mentioned in the first sentence above.]
b2: غَبَنَهُ,
aor. ـِ
inf. n. غَبْنٌ, signifies also He passed by him (i. e. a man) inclining, or leaning, [or bending down, so as as to elude his observation, i. e.] so that he [the latter] did not see him, and was not cognizant of him. (
TA.)
b3: [And it is said in the
TA that غَيَنُوا النَّاسَ means None but they obtained it: whence it appears that فِيهِ or the like has been omitted after النَّاسَ: with this addition, the phrase may be rendered, they overreached, or prevented, the other people in respect of it, by obtaining it themselves.]
b4: هٰذَا يَغْبِنُ عَقْلَكَ, said to a man whom another had cheated (غَبَنَ) in a sale, means This [man] attributes defect, or imperfection, to thy intellect. (
TA.)
b5: قَدْ غَبَنُوا خَبَرَهَا, and غَبِنُوا,
aor. of the former verb غَبُنَ, and of the latter غَبَنَ, i. e. لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا عِلْمَهَا [meaning They have not know her case or state or condition, or her qualities], (
ISh,
K, ast;
TA,) is a phrase relating to a she-camel, of which it is said that she is what one would desire a she-camel to be as a beast for riding and in generousness of race, but she is ↓ مَغْبُونَةٌ, [i. e.] one of which the qualities are not known to be as above mentioned. (
ISh,
TA.)

inf. n. غَبَنٌ (
S,
Msb,
K) and غَبَانَةٌ, (
S, *
K,) means He was, or became, deficient in his judgment, or opinion: (
S:) or he was, or became, weak [therein]: (
K:) or his intelligence, or sagacity, and his sharpness, or acuteness, of mind, went away: (
Msb:) the parsing of this phrase has been [fully]
expl. voce سَفِهَ [
q. v.]. (
S.)
A2: غَبَنَ الثَّوْبَ, (

S,
MA,
K,
KL,
TA.) Hence, يَوْمُ التَّغَابُنِ [in the
Kur lxiv. 9], an appellation of The day of resurrection; because the people of Paradise will then overreach (تَغْبِنُ) the people of Hell, (
S,
K,

attribute defect, or imperfection, to the intellects of the latter by reason of the preferring infidelity to faith. (
