(K, TA.) b2: جَنَبَ فِى بَنِى فُلَانٍ, (S, K, *) aor. ـُ inf. n. جَنَابَةٌ; (S;) and ↓ تجنّب; (so, app., in the TA;) He alighted, or descended and abode, or settled, as a stranger, among the sons of such a one. (S, K, * TA.) One says, نِعْمَ القَوْمُ هُمْ لِجَارِ الجَنَابَةِ [Excellent are the people, they,] to the neighbour who is a stranger. (S. [See also جُنُبٌ.]) And لَا تَحْرِمَنِّى عَنْ جَنَابَةٍ Do not thou by any means refuse me because of being remote (S, A, TA) in respect of relationship. (A, TA.)

(K, * TA.)

A2: اجنب, (S, IAth, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.,) inf. n. إِجْنَابٌ; (IAth, TA;) and ↓ جَنِبَ; (IB, K;) but the former is more common than the latter; and the latter, than the next here following; (IB, TA;) and ↓ جَنُبَ (S, Msb, K,) [inf. n. جَنَابَةٌ, agreeably with analogy;] and ↓ جَنَبَ, aor. ـُ (L, TA;) and أُجْنِبَ, and ↓ استجنب, (K,) and ↓ تجنّب; (L, TA;) He was, or became, in the state of one who is termed جُنُب; (S, IAth, Mgh, L, Msb, K;) i. e., under the obligation of performing a total ablution, by reason of sexual intercourse and discharge of the semen.

(of the first, Msb) جُنُوبٌ (Msb, K) and [of the same, a pl. of pauc.,] أَجْنَابٌ (CK) and [of جَانِبٌ]

جَوَانِبُ (Lh, ISd, K, but not in the CK) and [app. of جَنْبٌ (like as لَيَائِلُ is a pl. of لَيْلٌ) or of جَنَبَةٌ (like as حَوَائِجُ is pl. of حَاجَةٌ which is originally حَوَجَةٌ) or of both these] ↓ جَنائِبُ (M, K,) which is extr. (M, TA.) [Hence,] قَعَدْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِ فُلَانٍ and فلان ↓ الى جَانِبِ [I sat by the side of such a one]: both meaning the same. (S.) And ↓ إِنَّهُ لَمُنْتَفِخُ الجَوَانِبِ [Verily he is inflated in the side]: جوانب being here one of those words which are used in the sing. sense though in the pl. form. (Lh, TA.) And أَعْطَاهُ الجَنْبَ [lit. He gave him the side; meaning] he was, or became, submissive, manageable, easy, or tractable, to him. (A.) And جَارُ الجَنْبِ He who cleaves to one, keeping by one's side. (K. [Differing from جَارُ الجُنُبِ, q. v. infrà.]) And الصَّاحِبُ بِالجَنْبِ [in the Kur iv. 40] The travelling-companion; the companion in a journey: (S, K:) or he who is near one; or by one's side: or the companion in every good affair: or the husband: or the wife. (TA.) And ذَاتُ الجَنْبِ, (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.,) with which ↓ الجُنَابُ is syn., (K,) [and sometimes الجَنْبُ, as will be seen in what follows,] A well-known disease; (Mgh;) [the pleurisy; called by the first of these three appellations in the present day;] a severe disease, being an inflammatory tumour in the [pleura, or] membrane within the ribs: (Msb:) or an ulcer, or a purulent pustule, that comes within a man's side: (S, TA:) it is a severe disease in the side: accord. to El-Hejeree, it is in either side; and they assert that when it is in the left side, the patient perishes: accord. to ISh, the دُبَيْلَة; which is an ulcer that penetrates into the belly: or the ulcer (دُبَيْلَة and دُمَّل) that comes forth within the side, and discharges internally; the sufferer from which seldom recovers: he who suffers from it [and dies in consequence], or, as some say, he who is afflicted by a complaint of the side (absolutely) while warring in the cause of God, is reckoned a martyr: (TA:) [soldiers in a campaign are notoriously more subject to it than persons in most other circumstances; and it is app. for this reason that] it is termed دَآءُ الصَّنَادِيدِ [the disease of the courageous chiefs]. (A, TA.) ذُو الجَنْبِ, of which ذَاتُ الجُنْبِ is the fem., signifies Having a complaint of his side by reason of [the disease above mentioned, or what is termed] الدُّبَيْلَة. (TA. [See also مَجْنُوبٌ.]) b2: A poet says, النَّاسُ جَنْبٌ وَالأَمِيرُ جَنْبُ [The people are a side and the prince is a side]: (Akh, S, TA:) as though he reckoned the latter equal to all the people. (TA. [This is cited in the S and TA as though it were an ex. of جنب in the sense here next following: but it seems to be rather an ex. of this word in the sense first explained in the present paragraph.]) b3: I. q. نَاحِيَةٌ [A side; meaning a lateral, or an outward or adjacent, part or portion, region, quarter, or tract; or a part, region, quarter, or tract, considered with respect to its collocation or juxtaposition or direction, or considered as belonging to a whole; a vicinage, or neighbourhood]; (S, K;) as also ↓ جَانِبٌ (S, Msb, K) and ↓ جَنَابٌ and ↓ جَنْبَةٌ (S, K) and ↓ جَنَبَةٌ (S) and ↓ جَنَابَةٌ. (L, TA.) It is said that the primary signification of جَنْبٌ is the part of the body mentioned in the beginning of this paragraph, and that its use in the sense of نَاحيَةٌ is metaphorical, as is the case of يَمِينٌ and شِمَالٌ; but نَاحِيَةٌ is mentioned in the Msb as the primary signification of ↓ جَانِبٌ; (MF, TA;) though its primary signification accord. to the K and ISd seems to be that first mentioned. (TA.) You say, ↓ مَشَوْا جَانِبَيْهِ and ↓ جَنَابَيْهِ and ↓ جَنْبَتَيْهِ and ↓ جَنَابَتَيْهِ [They walked, or went on foot, on either side of him].

And نَزَلُوا الوَادِى ↓ فِى جَنَابَاتِ [They alighted in the sides of the valley, or in the tracts beside the valley]. (A.) And ↓ فُلَانٌ لَا يَطُورُ بِجَنَبَتِنَا Such a one will not approach our quarter: (S:) thus accord. to AO; with fet-h to the ن: IJ, however, says, people are wont to say, ↓ أَنَا فِى ذَرَاكَ وَجَنَبَتِكَ [meaning I am under thy protection and in thy quarter]; but that the correct expression is ↓ جَنْبَتِكَ, with the ن quiescent. (IB, TA.) The Arabs also said, سُهَيْلٍ ↓ الحَرُّ جَانِبَىْ, meaning (assumed tropical:) The heat is on either side of Suheyl [or Canopus: i. e., during the period next before, and that next after, the auroral rising of Canopus; which rising began, in central Arabia, at the commencement of the era of the Flight, about the 4th of August, O. S.]: this is the greatest heat. (TA.) One also says, ↓ أَحَاطُوا بِهِ مِنْ جَانِبَيْهِ [meaning They surrounded him on all his sides; lit., on his two sides]; dividing the surrounding parts into two, but not meaning that any of these remained vacant. (Expos. of the exs. cited as testimonies by Sb, TA in art. حول.) b4: Also, [and ↓ جَانِبٌ, which is thus used in the L in art. جنح, and by many authors,] A part, or portion, of a thing; (L;) the greater, or main, or chief, part or portion thereof; most thereof; (L, K;) or a great part or portion thereof; much thereof. (L.) Hence, [or perhaps from جَنْبٌ in the second of the senses assigned to it above, conveying the idea of juxtaposition, and thus of comparison,] هٰذَا قَلِيلٌ جَنْبِ مَوَدَّتِكَ [This is little in comparison with the magnitude of thy love; or simply, in comparison with thy love]. (TA.) b5: يَا حَسْرَتَا عَلَى مَا فَرَّطْتُ فِى جنْبِ اللّٰهِ [in the Kur xxxix. 57] means ↓ فى جَانِبِه, i. e. (assumed tropical:) [O my grief, or regret, for my negligence, or remissness,] in respect of that which is the right, or due, of God! (A, Bd, TA,) i. e., (Bd,) in respect of obedience to God! (Bd, Jel:) or, in respect of [the means of attaining] nearness to God! (Fr, TA;) or, nearness to God in Paradise! (IAar, TA:) or, in respect of the way of God, to which He hath called me! i. e., the profession of his unity, and the confession of the prophetic office of Mohammad. (Zj, TA.) The saying of the Arabs, اِتَّقِ اللّٰهَ فِى جَنْبِهِ وَلَا تَقْدَحْ فِى سَاقِهِ [may be rendered (assumed tropical:) Fear God in respect of his (thy brother's) right, or due, and impugn not his honour, or reputation: or] means, accord. to the copies of the K, لَا تَقْتُلْهُ [slay him not], or, as in the L, and in the original draught of the author [of the K] لا تَغْتَلْهُ [slay him not clandestinely, or on an occasion of inadvertence], from الغِيلَةُ, and throw him not into trouble, or trial: (TA:) or, accord. to some, فى جنبه means in detracting from his reputation, or reviling him. (K, TA. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 240.]) A poet, cited by IAar, says, خَلِيلَىَّ كُفَّا وَاذْكُرَا اللّٰهَ فِى جَنْبِى (assumed tropical:) [O my two friends, refrain, and be mindful of God in respect of my reputation; (see also جَانِبٌ;)] meaning, in detracting from my reputation, or reviling me: or, accord. to MF, in my case. (TA.) And one says, مَا فَعَلْتَ فِى جَنْبِ حَاجَتِى (assumed tropical:) What didst thou, or what hast thou done, in the case of the thing that I want? (L, TA.) جَنَبٌ: see جَنِيبٌ.

A2: طَوْعُ الجَنَبِ: see جِنَابٌ.

A3: جَنَبٌ also signifies Short; (K;) applied to a man. (TA.) جَنِبٌ: see جَنِبَ. b2: It is also applied as an epithet to a wolf, because he pretends to halt, from guile, or cunning. (L, TA.) b3: Also A man who goes aside, or to a distance, from the beaten way, for fear of guests' coming to him for entertainment. (K, TA.) جُنُبٌ, (El-Fárábee, S, A, Msb, K,) which is sometimes used in the sing. form as pl., and has no fem. form, (TA,) and ↓ جَانِبٌ and ↓ أَجْنَبِىٌّ, (El-Fárábee, S, Msb, K,) which is said by Az in art. روح to be seldom or never used by the Arabs, but is mentioned by him in its proper art., (Msb,) and ↓ أَجْنَبُ, (Az, S, Msb, K,) are syn., (El-Fárábee, S, Msb, K,) signifying A stranger; (K;) as also ↓ جَنِيبٌ: (S:) or a man who is distant, or remote: (Msb:) or distant, or remote, in respect of relationship: (Az and Msb in explanation of the third and fourth:) [or not a relation; as will be seen from what follows:] and ↓ جَانِبٌ [as an act. part. n.] signifies one alighting, or descending and abiding, or settling, as a stranger, among a tribe: (S:) pl. of the first أَجْنَابٌ, (A, TA,) and of the second جُنَّابٌ, (S, TA,) and of the fourth أَجَانِبُ. (Msb.) الجَارُ الجُنُبُ [occurring in the Kur iv. 40] (T, S, A, Msb, K) and جَارُ الجُنُبِ (TA) The person who is one's neighbour, but who belongs to another people; (T, S, A, Msb, K;) who is not of one's family nor of one's lineage; (A;) who is of another lineage than he of whom he is a neighbour; (T, TA;) who is not a relation: (MF:) or one who is distant, or remote, in an absolute sense: (TA:) or the person who is not a relation to another, and who comes to him, and asks him to protect him, and abides with him: such has the title to respect that belongs to him as neighbour of the other, and to his protection, and as relying upon his safeguard and promise. (TA in art. جور. [Differing from جَارُ الجَنْبِ, q. v. suprà.]) It is said in a trad., هُمْ أَجْنَابُ النَّاسِ They are the strangers of mankind, or of the people. (TA.) And in another trad., قَالَ لِجَارِيّةٍ هَلْ مِنْ مُغَرِبَةِ الخَبَرُ ↓ خَبَرٍ قَالَتْ عَلَى جَانِبٍ [He said to a girl, Is there any news from abroad?

(S, Mgh, Msb) and sing. (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K) and dual (Msb, TA) and pl.; (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K;) being regarded as quasi-coordinate to the class of inf. ns.; for the inf. n., when used as an epithet, must remain, in form, sing. and masc.: (MF in art. عفت:) or one may use the dual form جُنُبَانِ; (K;) and sometimes they used the pl. أَجْنَابٌ (S, Msb, K *) and جُنُبُونَ, (S, Msb,) and the fem. pl. جُنُبَاتٌ; (Msb;) but not جُنُبَةٌ, (K, TA,) applied to a female.

(TA.) A2: Also, جَنْبَةٌ, A piece of skin from the side of a camel, (S, L, K, *) of which is made a kind of milking vessel (عُلْبَة), (S, L,) larger than the مِعْلَق, but smaller than the جَوْبَة. (L.) A3: And Every kind of plant, (S,) or every kind of tree in general, (K,) that produces [new leaves such as are termed] رَبْل in the season of the صَيْف [which may mean either summer or spring]: (S, K:) or every kind of plant that produces leaves in that season without rain: (TA:) or a name given to many plants, all of them عُرُوق [perhaps meaning resembling roots, i. e. straggling, or spreading like roots]; so called because less than large trees and higher than those that have no root-stock (أَرُومَة) in the earth; comprising the نَصِىّ and صِلِّيَان and حَمَاط and مَكْر and حذر [so in the TA, but I do not find it elsewhere, and think it may be a mistranscription for حَزْر, of which حَزْرَة (the name of a certain sour tree) is probably the n. un.,] and دَهْمَآء; which are smaller than شَجَر and superior to بُقُول: all this has been heard from the Arabs: (T, TA:) or green and fresh صلّيان: (TA:) or what is [of a kind] between بَقْل and شَجَر; (AHn, K, TA;) being [in the TA وهما, but this is evidently a mistake for وَهِىَ,] of the kind of which the root remains in the winter while the branches perish: (AHn, TA:) or herbage of which the root is deep in the earth; such as the نَصِىّ and the صِلِّيَان. (TA voce خَضِرٌ.) جَنَبَةٌ: see جَنْبٌ, in four places: b2: and see جَانِبٌ.

(Mgh.) مَجْزَرَةٌ or مَجْزِرَةٌ: see مَجْزَرٌ, in two places.

(TA.) You say لُؤْلُؤٌ أَجْوَفُ, and ↓ مُجَوَّفٌ, [Hollow, and hollowed, pearls; or] both signify the same. (TA.) And قَنَاةٌ جَوْفَآءُ An empty [or a hollow] cane, or reed: (K:) and in like manner, شَجَرَةٌ [a tree]; (S, K;) having a جَوْف. (S.) And دَلْوٌ جَوْفَآءُ A wide, or an ample, bucket: (K:) and دِلَآءٌ جَوفٌ wide, or ample, buckets: (S:) and قِدْرٌ جَوْفَآءُ a wide, capacious, cooking-pot. (Ham p. 719.)

إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ: here أَرْجُلَكُمْ is in the acc. case as an adjunct to ايديكم; [i.e., as a third objective complement to the verb اغسلوا; not as an adjunct to رؤوسكم;] but some read أَرْجُلِكُمْ, putting it in the gen. case because of its proximity to رؤوسكم; (Jel;) [in like manner as خَرِبٍ is put in the gen. case in the phrase هٰذَا جُحْرُ ضَبٍّ خَرِبٍ, an ex. given by many of the grammarians, showing that this is allowable in prose,] notwithstanding that it is said, by Aboo-Is-hák the grammarian, that the putting a noun in the gen. case because of its proximity to a preceding noun in that case is not allowable except in poetry, when necessity requires it: (L:) the head, which is wiped, is mentioned between the arms and the feet, which are washed, to show the order which is to be observed in the purification.
