(the latter of which seems to be peculiar to the intrans. verb خَضَبَ) see what follows], He coloured, or tinged, (A, K,) a thing; (S, A, * K; *) or changed it in colour to red, or yellow, &c.; (TA;) and ↓ خضّب signifies the same, [but app. in an intensive sense, or as applying to a number of objects, (see its pass. part. n. voce خَضِيبٌ,)] (K,) inf. n. تَخْضِيبٌ: (TA:) and the former, particularly, he tinged, or dyed, his white hair, (TA,) or the hand, &c., (Msb,) with hinnà: (Msb, TA:) but when a man has dyed his hair with any other dye than hinnà, you say, صَبَغَ شَعَرَهُ: (Msb, TA:) or you say also, خَضَبَ بِالسَّوَادِ [He dyed his hair with black]. (Suh, TA.) When one does not mention the hair (Msb, TA) or the white hair [&c.], (Msb,) he says خَضَبَ, inf. n. خِضَابٌ; (IKtt, Msb;) and ↓ اختضب, (S, IKtt, Msb, TA,) and ↓ تخضّب; (A, TA;) [meaning He dyed his hair, &c.,] with hinnà, (S, IKtt, Msb, TA,) and the like: (S, TA:) and in like manner one says of a woman, خَضَبَتْ, aor. ـِ and ↓ اختضب: (TA:) which last also signifies [particularly] She dyed her hands with hinnà. (T, TS, TA, in art. غمس.) b2: Hence, in a trad., بَكَى حَتَّى خَضَبَ دَمْعُهُ الحَصَى (tropical:) He wept so that his tears wetted the pebbles: or, more probably, so that his tears became red, and dyed the pebbles: (IAth, TA:) [or most probably, so that his tears caused the pebbles to appear of a reddish colour; for such is commonly the case when pebbles are wetted.]

A2: خَضَبَ, aor. ـِ and خَضِبَ, aor. ـَ and خُضِبَ; inf. n. of each خُضُوبٌ; and ↓ اخضوضب; (tropical:) It (a tree) became green. (K, TA.) And خَضَبَ, inf. n. خُضُوبٌ, (assumed tropical:) Its small leaves came forth in the spring, and its twigs lengthened; said of the قَتَاد, at the commencement of its vegetation; and likewise of the عَرْفَج and عَوْسَج; but of no other tree of the kind called عِضَاه: or said also of the عُرْفُط and سَمُر; meaning (assumed tropical:) it dropped its leaves, and became red and yellow: (TA:) and you say also, خَضَبَتِ العِضَاهُ (tropical:) the عضاه became green, and broke forth; (A;) or the sap of the عضاه flowed in their branches, and they became green; as also ↓ أَخْضَبَتْ, (TA,) for which اخصبت, with the unpointed ص, is said by Az to be a gross mistranscription; explained by Lth, on whose authority it is written with ص, [as also in the K in art. خصب,] as meaning the sap flowed in the branches of the عضاه so as to reach the roots. (T and TA in art. خصب.) And خَصَبَ النَّخْلُ, (S, K,) inf. n. خَضْبٌ, (K,) The palm-trees, (S,) or the spadices of the palm-trees, (K,) became green. (S, K.)

(TA.) خَضْبَةٌ A spadix of a palm-tree: خَصْبَةٌ, [q. v.,] with the unpointed ص, is erroneously said to have this signification. (TA.) خُضَبَةٌ A woman who uses خِضَاب for herself [i. e. for dyeing her hair or hands &c.] much, or often. (S, A, K.) خِضَابٌ Hinnà (حِنَّآء), and the like: (Msb:) or the thing with which one dyes, or tinges, his, or her, hair &c.; (S, K, TA;) such as حِنَّآء and كَتَم and the like.

خَضِيبٌ Anything dyed, tinged, or changed in colour; [generally, with hinnà;] as also ↓ مَخْضُوبٌ: the former is both masc. and fem.: and its pl. is خُضُبٌ. (TA.)

(S.) b2: And hence, (TA,) الكَفُّ الخَضِيبُ (assumed tropical:) A certain star; (S, A, K;) the star β of Cassiopeia; (so in the Egyptian almanacs;) [i. e.] the bright star of the constel-lation called ذَاتُ الكُرْسِىِّ; which star is [termed] the extended right hand of الثُّرَيَّا [or the Pleiades; corresponding to the star called الكَفُّ الجَذْمَآءُ]. (Kzw. [See أَجْذَمُ.]) b3: And اِمْرَأَةٌ خَضِيبٌ [A woman having her hands, or feet, or hair, &c., dyed with hinnà or the like]. (K.) خَاضِبٌ A man dyeing, or who dyes, his hair with hinnà. (Msb.) b2: See also خَضِيبٌ. b3: Also (tropical:) A male ostrich (S, A, K, &c.) whose shanks (A, K) and legs (A) have become red, (A, K,) or green, [app. meaning of a dark, or an ashy, dustcolour,] or yellow, (A,) in consequence of his lusting after the female, (A, K,) or in consequence of his having eaten the [herbage termed] رَبِيع: (A:) or the front edges of whose shanks have become red, (S, K,) or green, (K,) or yellow, in consequence of his having eaten the [herbage termed] ربيع: (S, K:) or whose beak and shanks have become red from his having eaten the [herbage termed] ربيع: in the summer (الصَّيْف) he becomes bald (يقرع), and his shanks become white: (L:) or whose shanks have become green by reason of lust in the [season termed] ربيع: (ADk:) accord. to some, (TA,) it is applied only to the male ostrich: (S, K:) but some explain it without this restriction; and Lth mentions [the fem.] خَاضِبَةٌ as applied to an ostrich: [it is said that] the skin of the neck, and that of the breast, and that of the thighs, of the male ostrich, but not his feathers, become intensely red when he lusts after the female: or, as some say, خاضب signifies an ostrich that has eaten green food: (TA:) or the extremities of whose feathers are dyed by [the eating of] blossoms, and the slender parts of whose legs have become red by the same cause: accord. to an Arab of the desert, supposed to be Aboo-Kheyreh, in the [season termed]

ربيع, when it eats أَسَارِيع [app. meaning certain worms so called], its legs and beak assume the red hue of the عُصْفُر [or safflower]: (AHn, L:) or خاضب is applied to a male ostrich the slender parts of whose legs become red when the dates begin to become red, and cease to be so when the redness of the dates ceases: (AHn, K:) so that it is not from eating اساريع, which, it is said, no ostrich is known to eat: accord. to As, the cause [of the redness above mentioned] is only the dye of blossoms; but were it so, the bird would also become yellow, and green, &c., [and some assert that it partially does, as has been shown above,] accord. to the colours of the blossoms and herbs; and the green colour would predominate: [but, as the Arabs say, this requires consideration:] whatever be the cause, the bird, it is said, is termed خاضب on account of the redness that affects its shanks: and this word is [said to be] an epithet used as a proper name of the bird: (AHn, L:) but this is a mistake, unless it mean that, because of its prevailing application, it is used in the same manner as الحٰرِثُ and العَبَّاسُ, not that it may be used [in a determinate sense] without the article ال: (L:) the pl. is خَوَاضِبُ. (TA.) It is also said to be applied as an epithet to Any animal that eats خَضْب [q. v.]: (TA:) and particularly to [the species of bovine antelope called] the wild bull (الثَّوْرُ الوَحْشِىُّ). (L.) b4: [See also a saying of Dukeyn cited voce رَاوُوقٌ.]

مِخْضَبٌ I. q. مِرْكَنٌ, (S, K,) or إِجَّانَةٌ: (A:) or a vessel resembling that called إِجَّانَةٌ, in which clothes are washed. (TA.) b2: مَخَاضِبُ [is its pl.; and also] signifies The rags of the خِضَاب [or hudot;innà or the like]: (A:) [or] of the حيض [or catamenia]. (TA.) [If these two significations be correct, the latter is app. tropical: but حيض may be a mistranscription for خضاب.]

مُخَضَّبٌ: see خَضِيبٌ.

مَخْضُوبٌ: see خَضِيبٌ, in two places.

[of خُطْبَةٌ], contr. to rule, like مَشَابِهُ [pl. of شَبَهٌ] and مَلَامِحُ [pl. of لَمْحَةٌ]: or it is pl. of ↓ مَخْطَبَةٌ, which is syn. with خُطْبَةٌ: (TA:) or it [is pl. of ↓ مَخْطَبٌ, and] signifies places of haranguing. (L in art. حشد.) You say, خُطْبَةً حَسَنَةً ↓ خَطَبَ الخَطِيبُ [The خطيب recited a beautiful خطبة]. (A.) A2: See also خِطْبٌ

أَوْرَقُ خُطْبَانِى ٌّ [Of a dusky colour, inclining to black, in a great degree; or very dusky]: the latter word is added to give intensiveness to the signification.

looseness of the bowels, and vomiting, in an excessive degree. (TA.) But these properties [says SM] are strange, and not mentioned by the physicians.

Ibn-El-Kutbee says, in [the book entitled]

مَا لَا يَسَعُ الطَّبِيبَ جَهْلُهُ, مغاث is [the name of]

roots which are imported, of a hot and moist temperament, in one of the last measures of the second degree, (فى اواخر الثانية,) [the degrees of heat and cold and dryness and moistness being four,] the best of which are the white and soft, inclining to yellow: it is fattening, strengthening to the limbs or members, of use in cases of fracture and contusion, applied in a bandage, and drunk; also for the gout (نِقْرِس), and spasmodic contraction (تَشَنُّج); and softens hardness of the joints; and improves the voice, and clears the throat and lungs; and excites to sexual intercourse.

The hakeem [Dáood] says, in the Tedhkireh, مغاث is [the name of] a certain plant in El-Kerej (الكرج) and the parts adjacent; roots extending deep into the earth, and thick, with a rind inclining to black and red, which, when peeled off, discloses a substance, between white and yellow: the best thereof is the heavy, sweet-scented, in taste inclining to sweet, with a slight bitterness. It is said to have rough, or coarse, and wide, leaves, like those of the radish; and a white flower; and seeds resembling the grains of the سُمْنَة, and called قلقل: hence it has been imagined to be the pomegranate: and it is said to be a species of سورنجان: its strength, or virtue, lasts about seven years: and there is a kind of it brought from 'Abbádán, and towards Syria, weak in operation; and it is this which is used in Egypt. (TA.) [M. Rouyer, in the Descr. de

l'Egypte, tome 11 of the sec. ed., p. 452, describes it as follows: a root of a whitish colour, mucilaginous, fleshy, or pulpous, and of an aromatic odour: it is nutritive and aphrodisiac: it is taken in the simple substance; and they make of it a sherbet, which should be drunk hot: this root comes from the Indies.]

مَغِيثٌ and ↓ مَمْغُوثٌ Herbage laid prostrate by rain: (S, K:) herbage that is rained upon, and rendered yellow, and bad-tasted, and laid prostrate by the rain. (TA.)

(TA.) 5 تمجّس He became a مَجُوسِىّ [or Magian]; (S, A, K;) he became of the religion of the مَجُوس. (Msb.) المَجُوسُ [The Magians]; a certain nation: it is a Persian word: (Msb:) مَجُوسُ [here written in two copies of the S and in the CK with tenween, but afterwards shown in the S to be imperfectly decl., and expressly said to be so in the Msb, art. هود,] is pl. of مَجُوسِىٌّ: (S, K:) [or rather the former is a coll. gen. n., and the latter is the n. un.:] the latter is a rel. n. from المَجُوسِيَّةُ, q. v., (S,) and is an epithet applied to a man: (K:) المَجُوسُ has the article ال only because it is used as a pl., (Aboo-'Alee, S, M, L,) for المَجُوسِيُّونَ; (ISd, L;) for otherwise مجوس could not receive the art., being of itself determinate; and it is also of the fem. gender; wherefore, with respect to inflection, it is like the قَبِيلَة, not the حَىّ; and the same is the case with respect to يَهُودُ; (Aboo-'Alee, S;) [i. e.,] each of these two words is imperfectly decl. because they mean thereby the قبيلة [so called, so that it is a fem. proper name]. (Msb, art. هود.) مَجُوسُ was a certain man with small ears, who instituted a religion (K) for the مَجُوس, (TA,) and invited [them] to it : (K:) so says Az: he was not Zarádusht [or Zoroaster] the Persian, as some say, because he [Zarádusht] was after Abraham, whereas the religion of the مجوس is [more] ancient; but Zarádusht revived it, and published it, and added to it: (MF:) the name is arabicized, from مَنْجَ كُوش, or ميج كوش, or مِيخَ كُوش, (as differently written in different copies of the K, the first being the reading in the TA, and the last being that in the CK), the latter of which words signifies “ the ear,” [in Persian, but written with ك,] and the former meaning “ short. ” (TA.) المَجُوسِيَّةُ The religion of the مَجُوس [or Magians]. (S, K.) Mohammad said that the قَدَرِيَّة were the مَجُوس of his people, because the latter believed in two principles, light and darkness, and ascribed good to light and evil to darkness, and in like manner the قدريّة ascribed good to God, and evil to man and the devil.
