(Bd, Jel.) b2: رَحُبَ, accord. to the original usage, is trans. by means of a particle; so that one says, رَحُبَ بِكَ المَكَانُ [The place was, or may the place be, spacious with thee]: afterwards, by reason of frequency of usage, it became trans. by itself; and thus one said, رَحُبَتْكَ الدَّارُ [The house, or abode, was, or may the house, or abode, be, spacious with thee, or to thee]. (Msb.) b3: [Hence the saying,] أَرَحُبَكُمُ الدُّخُولُ فِى طَاعَتِهِ (assumed tropical:) Was it proper, or allowable, for you [to enter among his obeyers? i. e., to become obedient to him?]: (S, K * TA:) referring to El-Kirmánee, (so in the S,) or Ibn-El-Kirmánee: (so in the TA:) mentioned by Kh, on the authority of Nasr Ibn-Seiyár; but he says, (S,) the verb thus used is anomalous; (S, K;) for a verb of the measure فَعُلَ is not trans., (K, TA,) accord. to the grammarians, (TA,) except with the tribe of Hudheyl, who, accord. to AAF, make it trans. (K, TA) when its meaning admits of its being so: (TA:) Kh mentions the phrase رَحُبَتْكُمُ الدَّارُ [meaning The house, or abode, was, or may the house, or abode, be, spacious with, or to, you]; but it is thought that there is an ellipsis here, and that it is for رَحُبَتْ بِكُمُ الدَّارُ: and ElJelál Es-Suyootee mentions, on the authority of AAF, the saying رَحُبَ اللّٰهُ جَوْفَهُ, as meaning وَسَّعَهُ [i. e. May God make wide his belly]: (TA:) [J says, app. quoting Kh,] there is no sound verb of the measure فَعُلَ that is trans. except this; but as to the unsound, there is a difference of opinion: accord. to Ks, قُلْتُهُ is originally قَوُلْتُهُ; but Sb says that this is not allowable, because it is trans.: (S:) Az says that رَحُبَتْكُمْ is not held to be allowable by the grammarians; and that Nasr is not an [approved] evidence. (TA.) 2 رَحَّبَ see 4. b2: رحّب بِهِ (S, A, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَرْحِيبٌ (S, A, K) and تَرْحَابٌ (Har p. 579,) He said to him مَرْحَبًا; (S, Msb;) [he welcomed him with the greeting of مَرْحَبًا; or simply he welcomed him;] he invited him to ampleness, spaciousness, or roominess: (A, K:) and ↓ مَرْحَبَ, also, signifies he said مَرْحَبًا; but the expression commonly known is رَحَّبَ بِهِ. (Har pp. 422-3.) You say, لَقيتُهُ بِالتَّرْحِيبِ [I met him with the greeting of مَرْحَبًا; or with welcoming]. (A.) See also مَرْحَبٌ4 أَرْحَبَ see 1, in three places.

A2: ارحبهُ He made it (a thing, S) ample, spacious, wide, or roomy; (S, K;) as also ↓ رحّبهُ. (CK. [The latter is not in the TA, nor in my MS. copy of the K.]) El-Hajjáj said, when he slew Ibn-El-Kirreeyeh, أَرْحِبْ يَا غُلَامُ جُرْحَهُ [Make wide, O young man, his wound]. (S.) And one says, in chiding a horse or mare, أَرْحِبْ (S, K) and أَرْحِبِى (S, A, K,) meaning Make room, and withdraw. (S, A, K.) 6 تَرَاْحَبَ An instance of this verb occurs in the saying, هٰذَا الأَمْرُ إِنْ تَرَاحَبَتْ مَوَارِدُهُ فَقَدْ تَضَايَقَتْ مَصَادِرُهُ (tropical:) [This affair, or case, if the ways leading to it, or the ways of commencing it, be easy, the ways of return from it, or the ways of completing it, are difficult].

(TA.) And ↓ قِدْرٌ رُحَابٌ An ample cookingpot: (S:) and رُحَابٌ alone is [elliptically] used as meaning a cooking-pot. (Ham p. 721.) and ↓ اِمْرَأَةٌ رُحَابٌ A wide woman; (K;) meaning wide in respect of the فَرْج. (TK.) And رَجُلٌ الجَوْفِ ↓ رَحِيبُ A man ample, or wide, in the belly: and, as mentioned by Es-Suyootee, (assumed tropical:) a great eater; voracious; (TA;) and so رَحِيبٌ alone. (S, K, TA.)

رُحْبٌ an inf. n. of رَحُبَ [q.v.]. (S, Msb, K.) [Used as a simple subst.,] Ampleness, spaciousness, wideness, or roominess. (S A, Mgh, K.) You say, دَعَاهُ إِلَى الرُّحْبِ [He invited him to ampleness, &c.]. (A.) And hence the saying of Zeyd Ibn-Thábit to 'Omar, هٰهُنَا بِالرُّحْبِ, meaning Advance to ampleness, &c. (Mgh.) See also مَرْحَبٌ, in two places. b2: [It is also used as an epithet:] see the next preceding paragraph.

(K.) b2: Also, both words, An ample tract of land, that produces much herbage, and in which people alight, or abide, much, or often: (AHn, K:) pl. as above, accord. to the K; but accord. to IAar, رَحْبَةٌ signifies an ample tract of land; (TA;) and he says that its pl. is رُحَبٌ, like as قُرًى is pl. of قَرْيَةٌ: Az says that this occurs as an anomalous pl. of words of the defective class, and that he had not heard a word of the perfect class of the measure فَعْلَةٌ having a pl. of the measure فُعَلٌ; but that IAar is an authority worthy of reliance.

(TA.) رَغِيبَةٌ A thing desired, or wished for; (K;) as also ↓ رَغْبَةٌ: (Ham p. 501:) a thing of high account or estimation; that is desired, or wished for: pl. رَغَائِبُ. (A, Mgh.) You say, إِنَّهُ لَوَهُوبٌ, لِكُلِّ رَغِيبَةٍ, i. e. [Verily he is a liberal giver] of everything that is desired. (TA.) [And ↓ رَغْبَى

has a similar meaning; for] you say also, أَصَبْتُ مِنْهُ الرَّغْبَى, i. e. I obtained from him abundance of what I desired. (TA.) b2: A large gift: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) pl. as above. (S, Mgh, Msb.) A poet (En-Nemir Ibn-Towlab, TA) says, وَمَتَى تُصِبْكَ خَصَاصَةٌ فَارْجُ الغِنَى

وَإِلَى الَّذِى يُعْطِى الرَّغَائِبَ فَارْغَبِ [And when poverty befalls thee, then hope thou for competence, and to Him who gives large gifts humble thyself, and make petition]. (S, * TA.) b3: And A large recompense that one desires to obtain [in the world to come] by prayer: (El-Kilábee, TA:) or that which is wished for by one who has large hope and who desires much: whence the prayer called صَلَاةُ الرَّغَائِبِ [generally said to be a supererogatory prayer]. (TA.) الرُّغَابَى, like الرُّغَامَى (JK, K) and الرُّعَامَى, (TA,) What is called the زِيَادَة of the liver. (JK, K.) رِغِّيبٌ Very, or intensely, or exceedingly, desirous of much eating. (Msb.) [See also رَغِيبٌ.]

رَاغِبٌ Desiring, or wishing; (K;) [as in the phrase رَاغِبٌ فِى كَذَا desiring, or wishing for, such a thing;] and so ↓ مُرْتَغِبٌ. (TA.) مَرْغَبٌ [A place, or time, of desire or wish: and hence, an object thereof]. You say, خَطَبَ فَأَصَابَ المَرْغَبَ [app. meaning He demanded a woman in marriage, and attained the object of desire]. (A.) مُرْغِبٌ (tropical:) Possessing competence or sufficiency; rich, or wealthy; (K, TA;) possessing much property. (JK, TA.) مَرْغَبَةٌ: see مَرَاغِبُ.

مَرْغُوبٌ فِيهِ Desired, or wished for. b2: مَرْغُوبٌ عَنْهُ Not desired, &c. b3: مَرْغُوبٌ إِلَيْهِ Petitioned, &c.: see an ex. voce مَرْهُوبٌ.]

هُوَ مُرَغَّبٌ لَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا To him are allowed, or permitted, such and such things; like مُسَعَّبٌ and مُسَغَّبٌ. (TA in art. سعب.) مَرَاغِبُ [lit. Causes of desire; sing., if used, ↓ مَرْغَبَةٌ, a word of the same class as مَبْخَلَةٌ and مَجْبَنَةٌ &c.: and hence,] things that are eagerly desired, or coveted; syn. أَطْمَاعٌ [which also signifies soldiers' stipends, or allowances]: (TA:) and (TA) things that are desired to be gained for subsistence, or sustenance; i. q. مضطربات لِلْمَعَاشِ. (K, TA. [In the CK, the former of the two nouns in this explanation is مُضْطَرِبات: in two MS. copies of the K, it is without the syll. signs: the right reading is evidently مُضْطَرَبَات, syn. with مُكْتَسَبَات: Freytag renders the explanation personæ quæ in rebus quæ spectant ad victum perturbatæ et anxiæ sunt; deriving this meaning from the rendering in the TK: Golius, with a near approach to correctness, renders it res ad sustentandam vitam necessariæ; but he has given this explanation as on the authority of J, by whom it is not mentioned; and has put مَرَاغِبٌ for مَرَاغِبُ.]) مُرَاغِبٌ: see رَغِيبٌ.

مُرْتَغِبٌ: see رَاغِبٌ. b2: See also رَغِيبٌ, last sentence. b3: Also (assumed tropical:) A large, big, bulky, or corpulent, man. (JK.)

ريب

1 رَابَنِى, (T, S, M, &c.,) aor. ـِ (M, Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. رَيْبٌ (T, M, Mgh, Msb, &c.) and رِيبَةٌ, (M, K,) or the latter is a simple subst., (S, Msb,) It (a thing) occasioned in me disquiet, disturbance, or agitation, of mind: (Ksh and Bd in ii. 1:) [this is the primary signification; (see رِيبَةٌ;) a signification also borne by ↓ أَرَابَنِى; (see the verses of Khálid cited in this paragraph;) whence the other significations here expl. in what follows:] it (a thing) made me to doubt: (Msb: and in like manner رَابَهُ is expl. in the Mgh:) or it (a thing, M) caused me to have what is termed رِيبَة [i. e. doubt, or suspicion or evil opinion, or doubt combined with suspicion or evil opinion]; as also ↓ أَرَابَنِى: (M, K: in both of which this meaning is indicated, but not expressed:) but the latter is said by Lth to be bad: (T:) or, (T, M, Msb,) accord. to Az, (T, Msb,) the former signifies he, (T, M, *) or it, i. e. his case, (M, * Msb,) made me to know that there was on his part what is termed رِيبَة [i. e. something occasioning doubt, or suspicion or evil opinion, or doubt combined with suspicion or evil opinion]; (T, M, Msb;) made me to be certain, or sure, of it: (Msb:) and ↓ the latter signifies made me to think that there was in him what is so termed; (Sb, T, M, Msb, K;) without my being certain, or sure, of it: (Msb:) [Az says that] these are the right explanations of the two phrases: (T:) [or] the latter signifies also جَعَلَ فِىَّ الرِّيَبَةَ [he put into me, i. e. into my mind, doubt, or suspicion &c.]; (Sb, M, K; and in a similar manner أَرَبْتُهُ is expl. in the latter;) or أَوْهَمَنِى الرِّيبَةَ [he made me to think that which occasioned doubt, or suspicion &c.]: (K: and in like manner ارابهُ is expl. in the Ham p. 363:) and رِبْتُهُ signifies أَوْصَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ الرِّيبَةَ [I made doubt, or suspicion &c., or that which occasioned doubt, or suspicion &c., to come to him, or to reach him]; (K;) [app. by some act; for it is said that] رَابَهُ signifies أَتَاهُ بِرِيبَةٍ [he did to him a thing that occasioned doubt, or suspicion &c.]: (Ham ubi suprà:) or, (K,) accord. to Lh, the Arabs say, (M,) رَابَنِى أَمْرُهُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. رَيْبٌ and رِيبَةٌ: when they speak allusively [with respect to the cause of doubt &c., not expressing it,] (إِذَا كَنَوْا [misinterpreted in the TA as meaning “ when they affix a pronoun to the verb,” for the meaning here intended is clearly shown by what follows,]) they prefix ا [to the verb, saying ↓ أَرَابَ, and أَرَبْتُ, &c., expl. in the latter part of this paragraph]; and when they do not speak allusively [with respect to the cause of doubt &c., but express it,] (إِذَا لَمْ يَكْنُوا) they reject that letter; but [so accord. to the M, but in the K “ or,”] it is allowable to say, الأَمْرُ ↓ أَرَابَنِى; (M, K;) i. e., to prefix the ا when the verb is made trans.: (M:) accord. to As, (T,) رَابَنِى [signifies he did what made me to doubt, or to have doubt, or suspicion &c, and what I disliked, or hated; for it] is said of a man when thou seest, on his part, what makes thee to doubt, &c., (مَا يُرِيبُكَ, [or مَا يَرِيبُكَ,]) and what thou dislikest, or hatest: (T, S:) and Hudheyl say, ↓ أَرَابَنِى, (T, S, Msb,) or ارابنى أَمْرُهُ, as As says on the authority of 'Eesà

Ibn-'Omar; (M;) and رِبْتُ and ↓ اِرْتَبْتُ, meaning I doubted: (Msb:) accord. to IAth, رَابَنِى

الشَّكُّ [an evident mistranscription for رابنى الشَّىْءُ] and ↓ ارابنى both mean شَكَّكَنِى وَ أَوْهَمَنِى الرِّيبَةَ بِهِ [i. e. the thing made me to doubt, and caused me to think that there was that which occasioned doubt, or suspicion &c., in it]; but when you are certain, or sure, of it, you say [only] رَابَنِى, without [an incipient] ا: (TA:) accord. to Lth, رَابَنِى

الأَمْرُ, inf. n. رَيْبٌ, signifies the thing, or event, [app. said only of that which is evil,] betided me, or befell me: and رَابَنِى أَمْرُهُ, his affair, or case, brought upon me doubt (شَكًّا [in the TA شَرًّا i. e. evil]) and fear. (T.) It is said in a trad., of Fátimeh, يَرِيبُنِى مَا يَرِيبُهَا, meaning That displeases and disquiets me which displeases and disquiets her. (TA.) And in another, respecting a gazelle lying curled in sleep, لَا يَرِيبُهُ أَحَدٌ بِشَىْءٍ, meaning No one shall oppose himself to it and disquiet it, or disturb it. (TA.) And in another, مَا رَابَكَ إِلَى قَطْعِهَا, i. e. What disquieted thee and constrained thee to cut it off? as Aboo-Moosà

thinks the phrase may be read: but see another reading voce رَابٌ. (TA.) And in another, دَعْ مَا وَ إِنَّ ↓ يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَريبُكَ فَإِنَّ الكَذِبَ رِيبَةٌ الصِّدْقَ طُمَأْنِينَةٌ, (Mgh, TA, *) or, as some relate it, ↓ يُرِيبُكَ, (TA,) i. e. Leave thou that which causeth thee to doubt, (Mgh, TA, *) and occasioneth in thee الرِّيبَة, which originally signifies disquiet, or disturbance, or agitation, of mind, [and hence suspicion &c., and betake thyself to that which will not cause thee to doubt, &c., for verily lying is a thing that occasions disquiet of mind, or doubt, or suspicion &c., and verily veracity is a thing that occasions tranquillity;] because the mind is not at rest when it doubts, but becomes tranquil when it is certain, or sure. (Mgh.) And the Hudhalee, (S, TA,) Khálid Ibn-Zuheyr, (TA,) says, يَا قَوْمِ مَا لِى وَ أَبَا ذُؤَيْبِ كُنْتُ إِذَا أَتَوْتُهُ مِنْ غَيْبِ يَشُمُّ عِطْفِى وَ يَجُرُّ ثَوْبِى

بِرَيْبِ ↓ كَأَنَّنِى أَرَبْتُهُ [O my people, what aileth me with Aboo-Dhueyb? I was (such that) when I came to him after absence, or from being absent, he would smell my side, or my armpit, and pull my garment, as though I disquieted his mind with doubt, or suspicion &c.]: (S and TA, in this art. and in art. بز; but in the latter with يَبُزُّ in the place of its syn. يَجُرُّ:) it is said in the L that اراب is trans. and intrans.; and that he who makes it trans. makes it syn. with رَابَ; and thus it is in the saying of Khálid cited above; the last hemistich of which is also related thus: كَأَنَّنِى قَدْ رِبْتُهُ بِرَيْبِ but ↓ اراب when intrans. signifies أَتَى بِرِيبَةٍ

[meaning he did an act that occasioned doubt, or suspicion &c.]; like as أَلَامَ signifies أَتَى بِمَا يُلَامُ عَلَيْهِ [he did an act for which he was to be blamed]: and agreeably with this signification is expl. the verse ascribed to El-Mutalemmis, or to Beshshár Ibn-Burdeh, أَخُوكَ الَّذِى إِنْ رِبْتَهُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا وَ إِنْ لَايَنْتَهُ لَانَ جَانِبُهْ ↓ أَرَبْتُ [Thy brother is he who, if thou make him to doubt, &c., (or if thou do to him an act occasioning doubt, or suspicion &c., as expl. in the Ham p. 363, where عَاتَبْتَهُ is put in the place of لَايَنْتَهُ,) says, Only I have done what occasions doubt, &c.; and if thou act gently with him, becomes gentle]: thus the verse is correctly related: he who relates it differently, saying أَرَبْتَ, [and thus I find it in two copies of the T,] asserts that إِنْ رِبْتَهُ means if thou make him of necessity to have doubt, or suspicion &c.; and ↓ اربت [here said in the TA to be “ with damm,” but this is evidently a mistranscription for “ with fet-h,” for it cannot mean with damm to the ا, as أُرِبْتَ does not bear an appropriate signification, nor can it mean with damm to the ت, as the explanation relates to the reading of اربت with fet-h to the ت,] means thou hast caused [me] to think that there was that which occasioned doubt, or suspicion &c., when it was not decidedly necessary. (TA.) 4 اراب, as a trans. verb: see 1, in eight places.

A2: As intrans., it signifies He (a man) was, or became, one in whom was something occasioning doubt, or suspicion or evil opinion, or doubt combined with suspicion or evil opinion; i. e. صَارَ ذَا رِيبَةِ: (Sb, T, S, M:) and he did a thing that occasioned doubt, or suspicion &c.: (As, T:) it is said when one is told something of a person, or thinks it, or imagines it: (Msb:) see 1, in the former half of the paragraph; and also, in three places, in the latter part of the same paragraph. Also It (a thing, or an affair, or a case,) was, or became, one in which was something occasioning doubt, or suspicion &c.; i. e. صَارَ ذَا رَيْبٍ (T, K) or ذا رِيبَةٍ. (M.) 5 تَرَيَّبَ see the next paragraph.8 ارتاب He doubted, (S, Msb, K,) فِيهِ [respecting him, or it]. (S.) See 1, in the former half of the paragraph. And ارتاب بِهِ He suspected him, or thought evil of him: (T, M, K:) or he saw on his part [or in him] what caused him to have doubt, or suspicion &c.; as also به ↓ تريّب; (Har p. 257;) and به ↓ استراب; i. e. رَأَى مِنْهُ مَا يَرِيبُهُ: (S, K, and Har ubi suprà:) the last used by [the tribe of] Hudheyl. (TA.) b2: [It often means particularly He was sceptical in matters of religion.]10 استراب He fell into that which occasioned doubt, or suspicion or evil opinion; meaning he feared so that he doubted of safety or security: (Har pp. 256 and 257:) [he conceived doubt, or suspicion or evil opinion:] he doubted: and became infected with suspicion or evil opinion. (Idem p. 309.) See also 8.

رَابٌ Want, or need. (TA.) Hence, in a trad., مَا رَبُكُمْ إِلَيْهِ What is [the reason of] your want of him? or your wanting to ask him? (TA.) And, in another trad., مَا رَابُكَ إِلَى قَطْعِهَا What is [the reason of] thy wanting to cut it off? thus, says El-Khattábee, they relate it, with damm to the ب: but IAth says that it is properly مَا أَرَبُكَ, meaning the same: or, accord. to Aboo-Moosà, the right reading may be ما رَابَكَ, expl. in the preceding paragraph. (TA.) رَيْبٌ is an inf. n. of 1, (T, M, Mgh, Msb, &c.,) as also ↓ رِيبَةٌ, (M, K,) or the latter is a simple subst.: (S, Msb:) the primary signification of the latter [and of the former also when it is used as a simple subst.] is Disquiet, disturbance, or agitation, of mind: (Ksh and Bd in ii. 1:) [and hence] the former signifies doubt; (T, S, Msb;) as also ↓ the latter; (S, Mgh;) because doubt disquiets, or disturbs, the mind: (Ksh and Bd ubi suprà, and Mgh:) and opinion; syn. ظَنٌّ: (Msb:) and ↓ the latter, (S, M, A, Mgh, K,) and the former also, (M, A, K,) doubt, or suspicion or evil opinion; syn. تُهَمَةٌ (S, M, A, Mgh, K) and ظِنَّةٌ: (M, A, K:) or the former, [and ↓ the latter also,] doubt combined with suspicion or evil opinion: (IAth, TA:) and a thing, or an event, or a case, that occasions one doubt, or suspicion or evil opinion, or doubt combined with suspicion or evil opinion; i. e. مَا رَابَكَ مِنْ أَمْرٍ: (S, TA:) [in this last sense, the latter is the more common: hence,] lying is termed رِيبَةٌ in a trad. cited above: see 1: (Mgh:) the ↓ pl. of the latter is رِيَبٌ. (Msb.) A man, and a thing or an event or a case, is said to be ↓ ذُو رِيبَةٍ [as meaning Having in him, or it, something occasioning doubt, or suspicion &c.]. (A.) [لَا رَيْبَ often occurs as meaning There is no doubt; without doubt; undoubtedly.] b2: Hence, رَيْبُ الزَّمَانِ The accidents, or evil accidents, of time, (Ksh and Bd ubi suprà, [in Fleischer's ed. of the latter رِيَب الزمان, which is more agreeable with the explanation, but رَيْب الزمان is more usual,]) that disquiet, or disturb, the minds and hearts: (Ksh:) and رَيْبُ المَنُونِ (S, A) [which likewise signifies] the accidents, or evil accidents, of time: (S:) and رَيْبُ الدَّهْرِ signifies the same; i. e. صَرْفُهُ, (M, K,) or صُرُوفُهُ, (T, Msb,) and حَوَادِثُهُ. (T. [This is said in the TA to be tropical; but I do not find it so characterized in the A.]) b3: [Hence, likewise,] رَيْبٌ also signifies A want; a needful, or requisite, thing, affair, or business; syn. حَاجَةٌ. (S, A, Msb, K.) A poet says, (S,) namely, Kaab Ibn-Málik El-Ansáree, (TA,) قَضَيْنَا مِنْ تِهَامَةَ كُلَّ رَيْبٍ

وَ خَيْبَرَ ثُمَّ أَجْيَيْنَا السُّيُوفَا [We accomplished, from Tihámeh, every want, and from Kheyber: then we gave rest to our swords]. (S.) A2: [ريب mentioned by Freytag as applied in art. دلس of the S to a certain plant, and written رَيْب in both of my copies of the S in that art., is a mistake for رَبَب, which is the reading in the TA, pl. of رِبَّةٌ.]

رِيبَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in six places. b2: [It often means particularly Scepticism in matters of religion.]

أَمْرٌ رَيَّابٌ A thing, or an event, or a case, that frightens, or terrifies. (M, K.) رَائِبٌ [act. part. n. of 1; Causing, or occasioning, doubt, or suspicion or evil opinion, &c.] IAar says that Aboo-Bekr is related to have said, in his charge to 'Omar, عَلَيْكَ بِالرَّائِبِ مِنَ الأُمُورِ وَ إِيَّاك وَ الرَّائِبَ مِنْهَا, which Th explains as meaning Keep thou to what is clear, free from dubiousness or confusedness, of affairs, and beware thou of, or avoid thou, what has in it dubiousness, or confusedness, thereof: (T, TA:) the first is from رَابَ of which the aor. is يَرُوبُ, said of milk; and the second is from رَابَ of which the aor. is يَرِيبُ. (TA.) [See also a verse cited voce رَائِبٌ in art. روب, and my remark thereon.]

مُرِيبٌ, applied to a man, (T, S, A,) and to a thing or an event, (M, A,) i. q. ذُو رِيبَةٍ [expl. above, voce رَيْبٌ]. (T, S, M, A.) إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا فِى

شَكٍّ مُرِيبٍ, in the Kur xxxiv. last verse, means Verily they were in doubt causing to fall into suspicion or evil opinion: or it means ذِى رِيبَةٍ

[having in it something occasioning suspicion &c.]: (Ksh and Bd:) or ذِى رَيْبٍ [which means the same: or attended with disquiet, or disturbance, or agitation, of mind]: (M, TA:) [see its verb, 4:] it may be from the trans. or from the intrans. verb. (Ksh.) مُرْتَابٌ Doubting [or suspecting]. (Msb.) b2: [It often means particularly Sceptical, or a sceptic, in matters of religion.

A2: And مُرْتَابٌ فِيهِ, or بِهِ, Doubted of, or suspected.]

رفث

1 رَفَثَ (T, S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K) فِى كَلَامِهِ (M, A, Mgh) or فِى مَنْطِقِهِ (Msb,) aor. ـُ (K, and so in a copy of the S,) or ـِ (T, and so in another copy of the S,) or both, (Msb, TA,) the latter mentioned by 'Iyád in the “ Meshárik; ” (TA;) and رَفِثَ, (M, K,) aor. ـَ (K;) and رَفُثَ, aor. ـُ (Lh, M, K;) inf. n. رَفْثٌ, which is of رَفَثَ, (M, TA,) and رَفَثٌ, (T, * S, * M, A, * Mgh, * Msb, K, *) which is of رَفِثَ, (M, TA,) or of رَفَثَ, (Msb,) or, accord. to some, this is a simple subst., (TA,) and رُفُوثٌ; (K;) and ↓ ارفث; (T, S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K;) and ↓ ترفّث; (A;) He uttered foul, unseemly, immodest, lewd, or obscene, speech, (T, S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) in relation to women: (T:) and talked to a woman, in, or respecting, coition; (S, K, TA;) and (as in the A and Mgh, but in the Msb “ or ”) spoke plainly of what should be indicated allusively, relating to coition. (A, Mgh, Msb.) And رَفَثَ بِامْرَأَتِهِ, and مَعَهَا, He compressed his wife: and he kissed her; and held amatory and enticing talk, or conversation, with her; and did any other similar act, of such acts as occur in the case of coition. (M.) And رَفَثَ

إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ He went in to his wife; i. e. he compressed her; or was with her alone in private, whether he compressed her or not; syn. أَفْضَى

إِلَيْهَا. (A.) [See also رَفَثٌ below.]3 رافث صَاحِبَهُ, inf. n. مُرَافَثَةٌ, [He joined with his companion, or vied with him, in foul, unseemly, immodest, lewd, or obscene, conversation, in relation to women: and in talking plainly of what should be indicated allusively, relating to coition.] (A.) 4 أَرْفَثَ see 1, first sentence.5 تَرَفَّثَ see 1, first sentence.6 ترافثا [They two joined mutually, or vied with each other, in foul, unseemly, immodest, lewd, or obscene, conversation, in relation to women: and in talking plainly of what should be indicated allusively, relating to coition]; said of two men. (A.) رَفَثٌ, said by some to be a simple subst., but by others to be an inf. n., (TA,) Foul, unseemly, immodest, lewd, or obscene, speech, (Lth, T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) in relation to women; (T;) this being the primary signification: (Lth, T:) and talk to women in, or respecting, coition: (S, K, TA:) and the speaking plainly of what should be indicated allusively, relating to coition: (Mgh:) or allusion to coition: (M:) or foul, unseemly, immodest, lewd, or obscene, speech addressed to women; (T, S, Mgh, K;) so accord. to I'Ab: (T, S, Mgh:) and coition: (Lth, T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K:) and kissing; and amatory and enticing talk, or conversation; and any other similar act, of such acts as occur in the case of coition: (M:) or with the pudendum, (A, Mgh,) or with respect to the pudendum, (Msb,) it is coition: (A, Mgh, Msb:) and with the tongue, (A, Mgh,) or with respect to the tongue, (Msb,) the making an appointment for coition: (A, Mgh, Msb:) and with the eye, (A, Mgh,) or with respect to the eye, (Msb,) the making a signal of a desire for coition: (A, Mgh, Msb:) or it is a word comprehending everything that a man desires of his wife. (Zj, T.) In the Kur ii. 193, where it is forbidden during pilgrimage, it means Coition: (Zj, T, Mgh, Msb:) and speech that may be a means of inducing coition: (Zj, T:) or foul, unseemly, immodest, lewd, or obscene, speech: (M, Mgh, Msb:) or, accord. to Th, the removal of external impurities of the body, by such actions as the paring of the nails, and plucking out the hair of the armpit, and shaving the pubes, and the like. (M. [In the L and TA, the explanation of Th is so given as to relate, not to رَفَثٌ, but, to لَا رَفَثَ.]) And in the same, ii. 183, where it is allowed in the night of fasting, it means Coition: (Msb:) or the going in to one's wife; syn. إِفْضَآء; wherefore it is made trans. by means of إِلَى, like as is إِفْضَآء. (M, Mgh.)

رمث

1 رَمَثَ, (S, TA,) aor. ـُ (TK,) inf. n. رَمْثٌ, (K,) He put a thing into a right, or proper, state, or adjusted it; and wiped it with his hand. (S, K, * TA.) He collected together a thing, and put it into a right, or proper, state, or adjusted it. (As, TA.) A2: رَمِثَتِ الإِبِلُ, (T in art. طلح, S, M,) aor. ـَ (TA,) inf. n. رَمَثٌ, (S, M, K,) The camels ate رِمْث alone, without any change of food: (T in art. طلح:) or had a complaint from eating رِمْث: (S, M, K:) AHn says that the complaint thus caused is a looseness, or flux of thin excrement from the bowels, consequent upon eating رمث when hungry; and that one fears for the camels in this case. (M.) b2: رَمِثَ أَمْرُهُمْ, aor. ـَ (K,) inf. n. رَمَثٌ, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) Their affair, or case, or state of things, became confused. (K.)

A2: رمّث نَاقَتَهُ He left some milk remaining in his she-camel's udder after milking; (M;) as also ↓ أَرْمَثَهَا. (T, * M.) b2: And رمّث فِى الضَّرْعِ, inf. n. تَرْمِيثٌ, He left somewhat [of milk] remaining in the udder; as also ↓ ارمث. (S, K.)

And from رَبَضٌ applied to “ milk which sustains a man, and suffices him for food,” originated the prov., (K, TA,) مِنْكَ رَبَضُكَ وَإِنْ كَانَ سَمَارًا, meaning (tropical:) Thy family and thy servants (S, K) and those to whom thou betakest thyself for lodging or refuge, (S,) are appertenances of thine, though they be persons falling short [of their duty]: (S, K:) or thy manager of affairs, &c., though he be not a good manager of thine affairs: (L, TA:) and رَبَضٌ also signifies any woman who undertakes, or manages, the affairs of a house: but in the T we find ↓ رُبْضُكَ, thus written, as by Th, on the authority of IAar, but not restricted by a measure, and explained as meaning the person who undertakes, or manages, the affairs of thy house; and so in the book of proverbs by As: and in the margin of a copy of the S, we find the above-cited prov. thus written, وَإِنْ كَانَ سَمَارًا ↓ مِنْكَ رُبُضُكَ, as from the “ Book on Goats ” by Ibn-Zeyd, and expl. as meaning the sons of thy father are appertenances of thine, though they be evil persons, in whom is no good. (TA.) b4: (tropical:) The wall of a city: (K, TA:) the environs of a city, (S, A, Mgh,) and of a قَصْر [or palace &c.], (A,) consisting of houses or dwellings, (A, Mgh,) or of open country: (TA:) and ↓ رُبْضٌ signifies the same: (TA:) or this latter signifies the foundation, or basis, of a building; and of a city also: (K:) IKh writes it ↓ رُبُضٌ: and some say that ↓ رُبْضٌ and رَبَضٌ signify the same: (TA:) the former of these two signifies also the part, of a thing, that touches the ground: (K, TA:) so says Sh: accord. to ISh, الأَرْضِ ↓ رُبْضُ signifies what touches the ground, of a thing: (TA:) and رَبَضٌ also signifies a lateral, or an outward or adjacent, part: (K:) or lateral, or outward or adjacent, parts of a thing: (Ks, S:) also the space immediately pertaining to a mosque: and [the pl.]

أَرْبَاضٌ is explained by El-Karkhee as applied to the quarters, or districts, of a town, or city. (Mgh.) b5: رَبَضٌ also signifies (tropical:) The rope of the [camel's saddle called] رَحْل, (A, K,) with which the رحل is bound; (A, TA;) one of the أَرْبَاض, or ropes of the رَحْل: (S, A:) or the part that is next the ground thereof; (K;) i. e., of the rope of the رحل; (TA;) not what is above the رحل: (K:) accord. to Lth, the part [of the belly] of the camel that is next the ground when he lies down; (L, TA; *) and the belly of the she-camel; and in like manner IAar explains the pl. أَرْبَاضٌ as meaning the bellies of camels; but Az says that this is a mistake. (TA.) And (assumed tropical:) A girth of a رَحْل, like the نِطَاق [q. v.], which is put upon the flanks of the she-camel, so as to have the haunches behind it, (K, TA,) on either side, having at its two ends two rings, to which are tied the [woven, or plaited, thongs called] أَنْسَاع: the رحل is bound with it. (TA.) b6: Also (tropical:) The مَصَارِين [or guts, or intestines,] of the belly, that have a winding, or coiled, form; (Lth, A, TA;) such as are in the belly of a sheep or goat: (Lth, TA:) or the folding intestines of beasts: (AHat, TA:) or the guts, bowels, or intestines, into which the food passes from the stomach; syn. أَمْعَآءٌ: (S, K:) or the contents of the belly, (K, TA,) consisting of the مَصَارِين &c., (TA,) except the heart (K, TA) and the lungs. (TA.) (assumed tropical:) The part that comprises the حَوَايَا [or winding, circling, or coiled, guts or intestines]; (IAar, TA;) as also ↓ رَبِيضٌ and ↓ مَرْبِضٌ and ↓ مَرْبَضٌ: (IAar, K, TA:) some describe the رَبَض as below the navel; and the ↓ مَرْبَض, as beneath the navel and above the pubes. (TA.) رُبُضٌ [(tropical:) Holding back, through indolence].

رُبُضٌ عَنِ الحَاجَاتِ, (A, K,) in [some of] the copies of the K, erroneously, عَلَى الحاجات, (TA,) and الأَسْفَارِ, (A, TA,) means (tropical:) A man who does not rise to perform needful affairs, (A, K,) and journeys: (A, TA:) or who does not go forth to undertake them. (Lh, TA.) A2: See also رَبَضٌ, in three places.

رُبْضَةٌ, applied to a man, i q. ↓ مُتَرَبِّضٌ; (K;) i. e. (tropical:) Remaining stationary, and impotent; (TA;) as also ↓ رُبَضَةٌ. (K.) A2: See also رِبْضَةٌ. b2: Also (assumed tropical:) A portion, (K,) or large portion, (IDrd,) of ثَرِيد [i. e. crumbled bread moistened with broth]. (IDrd, K.) A3: See also رُبْصَةٌ, with the unpointed ص.

رِبْضَةٌ A mode, or manner, of lying upon the breast: (K, and Har p. 382: [see 1, first signification:]) this is the primary meaning. (Har.) b2: And A place thereof. (Har ibid. [See again رَبَضٌ, first signification.]) b3: See also رَبِيضٌ, in three places. b4: Also (assumed tropical:) A place of slaughter (مَقْتَل) of any party, or company of men, slain in one plot of ground: (Lth, Sgh, K:) erroneously written by Sgh in the TS رَبَضَة; but in the O correctly. (TA.) [And accord. to the TA, it seems to be also applied to (assumed tropical:) The party so slain.]

A2: Also The body [of an animal] when lying upon the breast; particularly, of a hare, (A, K,) and of a lamb, (A, TA,) and of a she-goat; and so ↓ رُبْضَةٌ. (TA.) Hence the saying, أَتَانَا بِثَرِيدٍ كَأَنَّهُ رِبْضَةُ أَرْنَبٍ [He brought us crumbled bread moistened with broth resembling in size and shape the body of a hare lying upon its breast]. (A, K. *) دَابَّةٌ ضَخْمَةُ الرَّبَضَةِ A beast of which the traces of the place where it has been tied [and app. where it has lain] are large, or wide. (TA.) رُبَضَةٌ: see رُبْضَةٌ.

رَبُوضٌ: see رَابِضٌ. b2: Applied to a [skin such as is termed] قِرْبَة, (tropical:) Great, or large; hardly, or not at all, to be lifted; so that it remains fixed; or so that it causes him who desires to lift it to remain fixed. (A, TA.) b3: Then, (A,) applied to a tree (شَجَرَة), meaning (tropical:) Great, or large, (A 'Obeyd, S, A, * K,) and thick, (S,) and, accord. to the K, wide, but [SM says,] I have not seen that any of the leading authorities applies it in this last sense to a tree: (TA:) pl. رُبَضٌ. (K.) b4: Applied to a chain (سِلْسِلَة), (tropical:) Large, or big, (S, K, TA,) and heavy, cleaving to him upon whom it is put: it is of a measure having an intensive signification, and qualifying alike a masc. and a fem. n. (TA.) b5: Applied to a coat of mail (دِرْع), (tropical:) Large, or big: (A, TA:) or wide. (K.) b6: And, applied to a town (قَرْيَة), (assumed tropical:) Populous, (Sgh, K, TA,) and large. (TA.) رَبِيضٌ Sheep, or goats, with their pastors, collected together in their lodging-places; (S, A, K;) as though it were a quasi-pl. n.; as also ↓ رِبْضَةٌ and ↓ رِبْضٌ: (TA:) and hence, (L, TA,) ↓ the former of these two, (assumed tropical:) a company of men: (L, K:) and ↓ the latter of them, [accord. to the K,] a herd of bulls, or cows, in their lodgingplace; from the author of the book entitled كِتَابُ المُزْدَوِجِ مِنَ اللُّغَاتِ, only: (K, * TA:) but what this author says is, that ↓ رِبْضٌ signifies the lodging-places of bulls or cows [app. with the beasts in them]: and that the primary application of this word (رِبْضٌ) and ↓ رِبْضَةٌ is to sheep or goats; and that by a subsequent usage they have been applied to bulls or cows and to men. (TA.) See also رَابِضٌ. b2: One says also, صَبَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ حُمَّى رَبِيضًا [app. meaning (assumed tropical:) May God send (lit. pour) upon him a fever that shall cleave to him like as an animal lying upon its breast cleaves to the ground]. (TA.) A2: See also رَبَضٌ, last sentence.

رَبَّاضٌ: see the next paragraph, in two places.

رَابِضٌ Lying upon his breast; applied to a sheep or goat [&c.]; and so ↓ رَبُوضٌ applied to a hare; so too ↓ رَبَّاضٌ [but app. in an intensive or a frequentative sense] applied to a lion, as is also رَابِضٌ, and to a man lying on his adversary: (TA:) and [hence] ↓ الرَّبَّاضُ is an appellation of the lion: (K:) the pl. [of رَابِضٌ] is رُبَّضٌ and رُبُوضٌ: and the phrase الغَنَمِ ↓ كَرَبِيضَةِ, occurring in a trad., means كَالغَنَمِ الرُّبَّضِ [Like the sheep, or goats, that are lying upon their breasts]. (TA.) It is said in a prov., كَلْبٌ جَوَّالٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ

أَسَدٍ رَابِضٍ or رَبَضَ [A dog that roams about is better than a lion lying upon his breast or that has laid himself down upon his breast]. (TA.) b2: [Hence, because of his cleaving to the ground,] (tropical:) A sick man. (TA.) b3: [Hence also the phrase,] أَرْنَبَتُهُ رَابِضَةٌ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ (tropical:) The end of his nose is flat, and spreading upon his face. (A.) b4: الرَّابِضَانِ is an appellation applied to The Turks and the Abyssinians. (K, TA.) These are meant in the trad. of Mo'áwiyeh, لَا تَبْعَثُوا الرَّابِضَيْنِ, i. e. Rouse not ye against you the two [peoples] that are remaining quiet as long as they do not pursue you: it is like another trad., in which it is said, اُتْرُكُوا التُّرْكَ مَا تَرَكُوكُمْ وَدَعُوا الحَبَشَةَ مَا وَدَعُوكُمْ [Leave ye alone the Turks as long as they leave you alone, and let ye alone the Abyssinians as long as they let you alone]. (TA.) رَابِضَةٌ [as a subst. from رَابِضٌ, made so by the affix ة, An animal lying upon its breast]. One says of a man who kills when he shoots, and more commonly of him who kills when he smites with the [evil] eye, فُلَانٌ مَا تَقُومُ رَابِضَتُهُ [Such a one is so effective in his aim that his animal lying upon its breast does not rise]: (ISk, S, TA:) and in like manner, مَا تَقُومُ لَهُ رَابِضَةٌ: it is a prov. (TA.) b2: It is said in a trad., فَانْبَعَثَ لَهُ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الرَّابِضَةِ [And there rose and went to him one of the رَابضة]: (Lth, A, TA:) الرَّابِضَةُ means (tropical:) certain angels who were sent down [from Paradise] with Adam, (Lth, A, K, TA,) who direct those that err from the right way: (Lth, A, TA:) perhaps (Lth, TA) so called from their remaining upon the earth: (Lth, * A, TA: *) and [so in the K, but correctly “ or,”] the remainder of the Bearers of Evidence (حَمَلَةِ الحُجَّةِ [meaning those angels whereof every individual of mankind has two appointed to attend him constantly for the purpose of their bearing evidence of his good and evil deeds, which two are termed in the Kur l. 16 المُتَلَقِّيَانِ,]) whereof the earth will never be destitute. (S, K.) b3: And in another trad., respecting the signs of the coming of the resurrection, the Prophet is related to have said that one of those signs will be, that the ↓ رُوَيْبِضَة will speak respecting the affairs of the community: (T, TA:) الرُّوَيْبِضَةُ is the dim. of الرَّابِضَةُ (T, K, TA) signifying The pastor of رَبِيض [q. v.]; (T, TA;) and means (assumed tropical:) the mean, contemptible man, (S, K,) who speaks respecting the affairs of the community: thus expl. by the Prophet himself: (K: [in the CK, النّاقِهُ is erroneously put for التَّافِهُ:]) or he explained it as meaning (assumed tropical:) the vitious, or wicked, who speaks respecting the affairs of the community: A 'Obeyd compares this trad. with another, in which it is said that one of the signs above mentioned will be, that the pastors of sheep or goats will be the heads of the people: and Az says that الرويبضة means the pastor of sheep or goats: some say that it means (assumed tropical:) he who abstains, or holds back, from seeking the means of acquiring eminence, or nobility; and الرَّابِضَةُ signifies [the same, or] impotent to attain eminence: in this latter, the ة is added to give intensiveness to the signification: and Az thinks it most probable that each of these is applied to the mean man because of his remaining in his house, or tent, and seldom rising and going forth to occupy himself in great affairs. (TA.) رُوَيْبِضَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.
