شبع

مُتَشَبِّعٌ ذ (tropical:) One who invests himself with, and makes a boast of, more than he possesses; who invests himself with that which he does not possess; (S, TA;) who affects goodly qualities more than he possesses; like him who feigns himself satiated, or satisfied in stomach, not being so: (TA:) or he who feigns himself satiated, or satisfied in stomach, not being so: and hence, (assumed tropical:) a lying person, who affects to be commended or praised for, or boasts of, or glories in, that which he does not possess. (Mgh.) Thus in a trad., (S, Mgh,) in which it is said, المُتَشَبِّعُ بِمَا لَا يَمْلِكُ كَلَا بِسِ ثَوْبَىْ زُورٍ, (S, TA,) or بِمَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ, (Mgh,) (tropical:) [ He who invests himself with, and makes a boast of, more than he possesses, &c., is like the wearer of two garments of falsity: or] accord. to A'Obeyd, it means [that such is like ] the hypocrite who wears the garments of the devotees in order that he may be thought to be a devotee, not being so: or, as some say, the person who wears a shirt to the sleeves of which he attaches two other sleeves in order to make it appear that he is wearing two shirts: or [ the wearer of the garments of the false witness; for] it is said that there used to be in the tribe the man of goodly exterior, and when false witness was needed, he bore [such] witness, and was not rejected, because of the goodliness of his apparel. (Mgh.) [See also art. زور, in which this trad, is cited with a small variation.]
