And ↓ يَوْمٌ يُقَبِّضُ مَا بَيْنَ العَيْنَيْنِ (assumed tropical:) [A day that contracts, or wrinkles, the part between the eyes]; a metonymical phrase, denoting vehemence of fear, or of war. (M, TA. *) And in like manner you say, الحَشَى ↓ يَوْمٌ يُقَبِّضُ (assumed tropical:) [A day that contracts the bowels]. (M.)

(Az, TA.) قَبْضٌ and بَسْطٌ are terms applied by the investigators of truth among the Soofees to two contrary states of the heart, from both of which it is seldom or never free: the former being an affection of the heart withholding it from dilatation and joy; whether the cause thereof be known, as the remembrance of a sin or an offence, or of an omission, or be not known; and some of them make other divisions thereof. (TA.) [In like manner] you say also, عَنَّا فَمَا قَبَضَكَ ↓ اِنْقَبَضْتُ (tropical:) [Thou shrankest from us: and what made thee to shrink?].

(S, K.) 5 تقبّض quasi-pass. of قَبَّضَهُ as contr. of بَسَطَهُ; (M;) as also ↓ اِنْقَبَضَ is of قَبَضَهُ in the same sense, (S, * M, K, *) being contr. of اِنْبَسَطَ. (S, K.)

(A.) b3: [As such also,] تَقبّض عَنْهُ (tropical:) He shrank, or shrank with aversion, from him, or it; (S, M, A, K;) as also عَنْهُ ↓ اِنْقَبَضَ: (A:) [see an ex. of the latter near the end of 1.] ↓ الاِنْقِبَاضُ عَنِ النَّاسِ also signifies (assumed tropical:) The withdrawing, removing, or retiring, from men.

(S.) b2: See also 5, in six places. b3: And see 1, in three places, about the middle of the paragraph.8 اقتبضهُ لِنَفْسِهِ [He took it, took it with his hand, grasped it, clutched it, seized it, took possession of it, or received it, for himself].

القَبَضِ (A, Mgh) Throw thou it among the things that have been taken: (Mgh:) said to Saad Ibn-Abee- Wakkás, when he slew Sa'eed Ibn-El-'Ás, and took his sword: so in a trad. (TA.) and in another trad. it is said, جُعِلَ سَلْمَانُ عَلَى قَبَضٍ

Selmán was set over spoils that were taken and yet undivided, to guard and divide them. (Mgh.) قَبْضَةٌ: [pl. قَبَضَاتٌ:] see قَبْضٌ, in three places. b2: See also قُبْضَةٌ, in four places. b3: And see مَقْبِضٌ. b4: Also, [The measure of a man's fist, from side to side;] four finger-breadths; (Mgh, Msb, voce جَرِيبٌ;) the sixth part of the common ذِرَاع [or cubit: but in the present day, the measure of a man's fist with the thumb erect; which is about six inches and a quarter]: pl. قَبَضَاتٌ.
