(Bd.) نَبَأٌ Information; a piece of information; intelligence; an announcement; news; tidings; a piece of news; an account; a narrative, or narration; a story: or what is related from another or others: syn. خَبَرٌ: (S, Msb, K:) it is generally held to be syn. with خَبَرٌ; but accord. to Er-Rághib, signifies an announcement of great utility, from which results either knowledge or a predominance of opinion, and true: (TA:) pl. أَنْبَآءُ. (K.) b2: النَّبَأُ العَظِيمُ [Kur, lxxviii. 2,] accord. to some, The Kur-án: others say, the resurrection: and others, the case of the Prophet. (TA.) b3: الأَنْبَآءُ, in the Kur, xxviii. 66, (فَعَمِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الأَنْبَآءُ) signifies The allegations, pleas, or excuses. (TA.) نَبْأَةٌ An eminence, or protuberance, in the earth, or ground. (TA.) b2: نَبْأَةٌ A low voice, or sound: (S, K:) or the cry, or barking, of dogs. (K.) نَبِىْءٌ, (S, K,) pronounced with ء in the dial. of the people of Mekkeh, (S,) whose pronunciation of it is disapproved by Sb on account of its uncommonness; (TA;) by others, نَبِىٌّ, without ء; (S, K, TA;) A prophet: (TA:) of the measure فَعِيلٌ used in the sense of the measure مُفْعل [i. e.

مُفْعِلٌ or مَفْعَلٌ] (IB) or فَاعِلٌ (S, Es-Sunoosee) or مَفْعُولٌ; (Es-Sunoosee) i. e., who acquaints or informs mankind, (S, K, TA,) or who is acquainted or informed, respecting God and things unseen: or accord. to some, it is derived from نَبْوَةٌ and نَبَاوَةٌ signifying “ elevation; ” (see art. نبو;) in which case it is originally without ء: or, accord. to others, from نَبِىْءٌ in a sense given below; that of “ a conspicuous way. ” (TA.) It is a less special word than رَسُولٌ [when thereby is meant an apostle of God]; for every رسول is a نبىّ, but not every نبىّ is a رسول. (TA.) Pl.

أَنْبِيَآءُ (S, K, without ء, because the ء is changed into ى in the sing., S,) and نُبَأءُ (S, K, like كُرَمَآءُ [pl. of كَرِيمٌ] TA,) and أَنْبَآءٌ [K, these two preserving the original radical ء] and نَبِيُّونَ, (K,) without ء: (TA:) but some pronounced the first and last of these pls., in the Kur-án, with ء; though the more approved pronunciation is without ء. (TA.) The dim. is نُبَيّئٌ, (S, K,) with those who make the pl. نُبَأءٌ [or أَنْبَآءٌ]; but with those who make the pl. أَنْبِيَآء, it is نُبَىٌّ. (K.) b2: An Arab of the desert said to Mohammad, يَا نَبِىْءَ اللّٰهِ, and the latter disapproved of his pronouncing نبىء in this case with ء, because, as it signifies An emigrant, he meant thereby to call him an emigrant from Mekkeh to El-Medeeneh. (S, K, TA.) b3: نَبِىْءٌ A conspicuous, an evident, or a clear, way. (K.) Hence, accord. to some, the apostle [or rather prophet] is so called, because he is the conspicuous, evident, way, that conducts to God. (MF.) b4: نَبِىْءٌ and ↓ نَابِئٌ An elevated, or a protuberant, or gibbous, place. (K.) b5: Hence it is said in a trad., لَا تُصَلُّوا عَلَى النَّبِىْءِ [Pray not upon the place that is elevated, or protuberant]. (K.) نُبُوْءَةٌ, (K, in the CK نُبُوَّة) in which the ء is sometimes softened in pronunciation, and sometimes [or rather generally] changed into و which is incorporated into the preceding و so that the word is written and pronounced نُبُوَّةٌ, (TA,) Prophecy; the gift of prophecy; the office, or function, of a prophet.

(Msb) b4: نَفَرَ الشَّىْءُ مِنَ الشَّىْءِ inf. n. نِفَارٌ [and نُفُورٌ], The thing receded, withdrew, removed, or became remote or aloof, from the thing. (A'Obeyd, T, S.) [See also 3.] b5: Hence it is, I think, that نَفَرَ is used as signifying (tropical:) It became swollen, in the following words of a trad. of 'Omar: تَخَلَّلَ رَجُلٌ فِى زَمَانِهِ بِالقَصَبِ فَنَفَرَ فُوهُ (tropical:) A man, in his time, picked his teeth with reeds, and in consequence his mouth became swollen: as though the flesh, disliking the disease, receded from it, and so became swollen.

(IKtt) b7: نَفَرُوا, (Msb,) inf. n. نَفْرٌ, (M, Msb, K,) They became separated, or dispersed: (M, * Msb, K: *) and so نَفَرتْ, said of camels. (TA.) Hence, (M,) the saying, لَقِيتُهُ قَبْلَ كُلِّ صَيْحٍ وَنَفْرٍ, (S, M, A.) a proverb, in which the last word is used tropically; (A;) explained in art. صيح, q. v. (S.)

(T, L) b9: نَفَرُوا فِى الأَمْرِ, (S, M.) or لِلْأَمْرِ, (K,) aor. ـِ (M, K.) inf. n. نُفُورٌ (S, M, K) and نِفارٌ (M, K) and نَفِيرٌ; (Zj, M, K;) and ↓ تنافروا; (M, K;) They went, or went away, to execute the affair: (M, K:) and in like manner, فِى القِتَالِ to fight. (M.) And نَقَرُوا, alone, They went forth to war against unbelievers or the like. So in the Kur, is 82. وَقَالوا لَا تَنْفِرُوا فى الحرِّ قُلْ نَارٌ جَهَنَّمَ أَشَدٌ حَرَّا [And they said, Go not ye forth to war against the unbelievers in the heat: say, The fire of hell is hotter]: and so in the same chap. v. 39: (Jel:) and in the same book, iv. 73.

It is said in a trad. of Zeyneb, the daughter of Mohammad, فَأَنْفَرَ بِهَا المُشْرِكُونَ بَعِيرَهَا حَتَّى سَقَطَتْ and the polytheists made her camel to take fright and run away at random with her, so that she fell. And in like manner you say, أُنْفِرَبِنَا, and نُفِرَبِنَا, [or نُفَّرَبِنَا Our camels were scared away with us; or made to take fright and run away at random with us: or] we were made to be persons having camels taking fright and running away at random. And تَنْفِيرٌ signifies The chiding camels or sheep or goats, and driving them from the pasturage. (TA.) b2: [Hence] بَشِّروا وَلا تُنَفِّرُوا (assumed tropical:) [Rejoice people by what ye say. and] do not encounter them with [roughness and violence and] that which will incite them to نُفُور [i. e. flight or aversion].

(assumed tropical:) Give thou to him a لَقَب [meaning a nickname or name of reproach], (S,) or a لَقب that is disliked: (K:) as though they held such to be تَسْفِيرٌ لِلْجِنِّ وَالعَيْنِ عَنْهُ [a means of scaring away the jinn, or genii, and the evil eye, from him]. (S, K.) An Arab of the desert said, When I was born, it was said to my father, نَفِّرْ عَنْهُ: so he named me قُنْفُد [hedge-hog], and surnamed me أَبو العَدّآءِ [father of the quick runner]. (S.) 3 نَاْفَرَ [نَافَرَا, inf. n. مُنَافَرَةٌ, (tropical:) They shunned or avoided each other; regarded each other with aversion. But perhaps this signification is only post-classical. b2: And hence, (tropical:) They (two things) were incongruous, or discordant, each with the other.

What aileth him? May he be killed, so as not to be numbered among his people. The latter hemistich is a proverb. (Meyd.) The poet here utters an imprecation against the man, but in so doing praises him; as when you say, of a man whose action pleases you, مَا لَهُ قَاتَلَهُ اللّٰهُ and أَخْزَاهُ اللّٰهُ [q. v.]. (S.)
