حوب

1 حَابَ, (Msb, K,) sec. Pers\. حُبْتُ, (S,) aor. ـُ (S, Msb,) inf. n. حَوْبٌ (S, Msb, K) and حَوْبَةٌ and حِيَابَةٌ, (S, K, accord. to one copy of the K حِيَابٌ,) and حِيبَةٌ (TA) and حُوبٌ; (K;) or this last is a simple subst.; or, as some say, it and حَوْبٌ are two dial. vars.; that with damm, of the dial. of El-Hijáz; and that with fet-h, of the dial. of Temeem; (Msb;) accord. to Zj, that with damm signifies “ sin, or crime; ” and that with fet-h, the “ act ” of a man; [i. e. the “ act of committing a sin, or crime; ”] (TA;) He sinned; committed a sin, or crime; did what was unlawful; (S, Msb, K;) بِكَذَا [by such a thing]. (S, K.) b2: Also, aor. as above, [inf. n. not mentioned,] He, or it, became in an evil condition, or state. (TA.) b3: He slew [another]: of the dial. of the tribe of Asad. (TA.)

[See also 2.]2 حوّب بِالإِبِلِ, (S, K, *) inf. n. تَحْوِيبٌ, (K,) He chid the camels (S, K) by the cry حَوْبِ حَوْبِ. (S.) [See also 1.]4 أَحْوَبَ He pursued a course that led him to sin, or crime. (K, TA.) A2: مَا أَحَبْتُهُ for مَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ: see 4 in art. حب.5 تحوّب He abstained from, shunned, or avoided, sin, or crime; put it away from himself: (A 'Obeyd, S, K, TA:) he applied himself to acts, or exercises, of devotion; became devout, or a devotee. (IJ, TA.) Here the form تَفَعَّلَ is deprived of the radical signification, as in the cases of the syn. words تَأَثَّمَ and تَحَنَّثَ; though its property is oftener to confirm the radical signification. (TA. [See تحنّث.]) You say, تحوّب مِنْ كَذَا He abstained from such a thing as a sin, or crime. (A 'Obeyd, S, TA. [See also another explanation below.]) b2: He humbled himself in his prayer, or supplication. (TA.) b3: He expressed pain, grief, or sorrow; lamented, or complained. (S, K, * TA.) And تحوّب مِنْ كَذَا He was enraged, and expressed pain or grief or sorrow, or lamented, or complained, by reason of such a thing. (TA. [See another explanation above.]) b4: He cried out, expressing pain or grief or sorrow, or lamenting, or complaining: he cried aloud, or vehemently, in prayer, or supplication. (TA.) He wept, in impatience, or sorrow, and with loud crying: and sometimes, in a general sense, he cried out, or aloud, (TA.) b5: He (a jackal) cried, or howled: because his cry is like that of a person expressing pain or grief or sorrow, or lamenting, or complaining, as though he were writhing from the pain of hunger or beating. (S, TA.) حَبْ and حَبٍ: see حَوْبٍ, in five places.

حَابْ and حَابِ: see حَوْبِ, in five places.

حَابٌ: see حُوبٌ.

حَوْبِ and حَوْبُ and حَوْبَ (S, K) and ↓ حَابِ (K) A cry used for chiding a camel: (S:) or a cry by which a male camel is chidden, (Lth, IAth, K,) to urge him on; (Lth, TA;) like as a she-camel is by the cry حَلْ and حَلِ and حَلِى: the first form (حَوْبِ) is that used by the Arabs [in general]; but the other forms are allowable: حَوْبْ حَوْبْ also occurs, with the ب quiescent; and حَوْبًا حَوْبًا occurs in a trad., in the same sense: also, لَا مَشَيْتُ ↓ حَبْ and ↓ حَبِ and ↓ حَابْ and ↓ حَابِ [On! mayest thou not walk, or mayest thou not be rightly directed; حب &c. being syn. with حَوْبِ, and followed by an imprecation]. (TA.) Hence, حَوْبَكَ هَلْ يُعْتَمُ بِالسَّمَارِ Urge on!

You say, سَمِعْتُ مِنْ هٰذَا حَوْبَيْنِ I heard, or have heard, of this, two kinds, or modes: and رَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ حَوْبَيْنِ I saw, or have seen, of it, two kinds, or modes. (TA.) A5: A he-camel: (K:) or a bulky he-camel: so called from the cry حَوْبِ, by which he is urged; like as a mule is called عَدَسٌ: (Lth, TA:) or it signifies originally a he-camel, and hence, from its frequency of usage, the cry حوب by which he is urged. (K, * TA.) حُوبٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and ↓ حَوْبٌ, (Msb, * K,) said by some to be two dial. vars., (Msb, [see 1, first sentence,]) and ↓ حَابٌ (S, K) and ↓ حَوْبَةٌ (A 'Obeyd, K) and ↓ حُوبَةٌ (A 'Obeyd, TA) and ↓ حَابَةٌ (K) and ↓ حِيبَةٌ, (TA,) Sin, or crime: or a sin, or a crime: (S, A, Msb, K:) accord. to A 'Obeyd, the first and second signify any sin or crime; (TA;) [as also, app., حَابٌ;] and حوبة [i. e. حَوْبَةٌ and حُوبَةٌ, the former particularly mentioned in the Msb, and app. حَابَةٌ also], a single sin or crime: (Msb, TA:) accord. to Fr, حُوبٌ signifies great sin, or a great sin: accord. to Katádeh, wrong, injustice, or tyranny: thus in the Kur iv. 2; where El-Hasan read ↓ حَوْبًا instead of حُوبًا. (TA.) One says, رَبِّ تَقَبَّلْ تَوْبَتِى

↓ وَاغْسِلْ حَوْبَتِى (T, TA) i. e. [O my Lord, accept my repentance, and wash away] my sin, or crime. (A 'Obeyd, TA.) El-Mukhabbal Es-Saadee says, ↓ فَلَا تُدْخِلَنَّ الدَّهْرَ قَبْرَكَ حَوْبَةً

يَقُومُ بِهَا يَوْمًا عَلَيْكِ حَسِيبُ [Then introduce not thou, ever, into thy grave, a sin with which a reckoner, or taker of vengeance, may one day rise up against thee]. (TA.) A2: حُوبٌ also signifies Perdition, destruction, or death. (K.) [Hence, app.,] اِبْنَةُ حوبٍ A quiver; syn. كِنَانَةٌ. (TA. [The vowel of the ح is not indicated.]) b2: Disease.

(S, * TA.) [And hence,] ↓ اِبْنُ حَوْبٍ A man oppressed by difficulty, trouble, distress, or adversity; a man in need: i. e. any man in such a state. (IAar, TA.) And ↓ عِيَالُ ابْنِ حَوْبٍ [The family of a man oppressed by difficulty, &c.]. (TA.) b4: A state, or condition; as also ↓ حِيبَةٌ: (K:) but only used in speaking of an evil state; as in the phrases, بَاتَ بِحَوْبَةِ سُوْءٍ and سُوْءٍ ↓ بِحِيبَةِ He passed the night in an evil state or condition.

(A.) There is no pregnant animal that pregnancy does not emaciate, except the camel: (S, A:) she fattens in pregnancy. (S.) A2: حَفَرَ He (a child) shed his رَوَاضِع [or milk-teeth]. (K, TA.)

(A.) IDrst says, in the Expos. of the Fs, that حَفَرَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. حَفْرَ فُوهُ, is trans.; and that the cause of حَفْر of the teeth, [or the agent of the verb حَفَرَ,] is old age, or the continuance of a yellow incrustation, [or tartar,] or some kind of canker that effects them: but that the verb in the phrase حَفِرَتْ سِنُّهُ, aor. ـَ inf. n. حَفَرٌ, is intrans. (MF.) [The truth probably is, that the former verb is both trans. and intrans., and hence حُفِرَتِ الأَسْنَانُ; and that the latter is intrans. only.] b4: And حَفِرَ, aor. ـَ (assumed tropical:) It was, or became, in a bad, corrupt, or unsound, state.

(TA.

يُحْفِرُ لِلْقٌرُوحِ [in the TA, تُحْفِر القُرُوح, which is an evident mistake,] meaning, he has his two corner nippers [in each jaw] in a wabbling, or loose, state: this is when he has completed five years: then the term إِبْدَآءٌ is applied to him as before described: then he is [also said to be]

(Msb.) b2: See also حَفِيرٌ.

حَفِيرٌ is of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ [meaning Dug, excavated, hollowed out, or cleared out, in the ground]. (TA.)

[such a thing]. (T.) The origin of the saying was this: horses were the most excellent (K) and precious (TA) of the things that they possessed; and they used not to sell them on credit: a man used to say the words above to another; meaning that its hoof should not remove until he received its price: (K:) and he who says عند الحافرة (since he makes الحافر to mean the beast, الدَّابَّة, itself, and since its use in this sense is frequent without the mention of ذَات [prefixed to it],) subjoins to it the sign [ة] of the fem. gender to show that ذَاتِ الحَافِرِ is meant by this name. (TA.) Or they used to say this on the occasion of racing and betting: and the meaning is, when the horse's hoof first falls upon the dug ground [at the goal]: (Abu-l-'Abbás, Az, K:) ↓ حَافِرَةٌ, (Abu-l-'Abbás,) or حَافِرٌ, (K,) signifying dug ground; (Abu-l- 'Abbás, K; *) ground that is dug by a horse's feet; (Har p. 653;) like as one says مَآءٌ دَافِقٌ, meaning مَدْفُوقٌ. (TA.) Lth says that the saying means, when thou buyest it, thou dost not quit thy place until thou payest ready money. (TA.) This was its origin: then it came to be so often said as to be used with reference to any priority. (K.) b6: [Thus,] ↓ حَافِرَةٌ signifies (tropical:) The original state or constitution of a thing; that wherein it was created: and the returning in a thing, so that the end thereof is brought back to its beginning. (K.) It is said in the Kur [lxxix. 10], أَئِنَّا

↓ لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى الحَافِرَةِ, i. e., (tropical:) Shall we indeed be restored to our first state? (S:) i. e., to life? (Fr:) or to the present world, as we were: (IAar:) or to our first creation, after our death. (TA.) IAar cites the following verse: عَلَى صَلَعٍ وَشَيْبٍ أَحَافِرَةً

[I beg God to preserve me from lightwittedness and shameful conduct.] (S.) One says also, ↓ رَجَعَ إِلَى حَافِرَتِهِ, (A,) and حَافِرِهِ, (TA,) (tropical:) He became old and decrepit: (A, TA:) [as though he returned to his first state; or became in a state of second childishness.] And اِلْتَقَوْا فَاقْتَتَلُوا عِنْدَ

And ↓ رَجَعَ عَلَى حَافِرَتِهِ (tropical:) He returned by the way by which he had come: (T, S:) or by which he had come forth. (K.) حَافِرَةٌ: see حَافِرٌ, in nine places.

مِحْفَرٌ (K) and ↓ مِحْفَارٌ (A, K) and ↓ مِحْفَرَةٌ (K) A spade; syn. مِسْحَاةٌ: (K:) an implement for digging (A, K, TA) of the same kind as a مسحاة: (TA:) pl. of the first [and last] مَحَافِرُ. (Ham p. 665.) مِحْفَرَةٌ: see what next precedes.

طُرُقٌ مُحَفَّرَةٌ [app. Roads much furrowed by the feet of beasts or men: see حَجِيجٌ]. (L and K in art. حج.) مِحْفَارٌ: see مِحْفَرٌ.

مَحْفُورٌ [i. q. حَفِيرٌ as meaning Dug: see the latter.] b2: فَمُ فُلَانٍ مَحْفُورٌ [and أَسْنَانُهُ مَحْفُورَةٌ] (tropical:) The teeth of such a one are affected with what is termed حَفْرٌ or حَفَرٌ. (S, TA.) And صَبِىٌّ مَحْفُورٌ (assumed tropical:) A child having a pimple, or small pustule, in the gum. (El-Wá'ee.) فُلَانٌ أَرْوَغُ مِنْ يَرْبُوعٍ مُحَافِرٍ Such a one is more elusive than a jerboa that goes so deep into his hole that he cannot be dug out. (A, TA.)
