ابن

1 أَبَنَهُ ذ , aor. اَبُنَ and اَبِنَ , inf. n. أَبْنٌ, He made him an object of imputation, or suspected him: and he found fault with him, or blamed him: (M:) or he cast a foul, or an evil, imputation upon him. (IAar, T.) You say, أَبَنَهُ بِشَىْءٍ, (S, K,) or بِشَّرٍ (as in one copy of the S,) or بِخَيْرٍوَشَّرٍ, (Lh, M,) aor. as above, (Lh, S, M, K,) and so the inf. n., (Lh, M,) He made him an object of imputation, or suspected him, (Lh, S, M, K,) of a thing, (S, K,) or of evil, (S, accord. to one copy,) or of good, and evil: (Lh, M:) and ↓ أبّنهُ signifies the same. (M.) And بِخَيْرٍ ↓ فُلَانٌ يُؤَبَّنُ, or بِشَّرٍ, Such a one is made an object of imputation, or suspected, of good, or of evil: (AA, * Lh, T [as in the TT; but perhaps يُؤَبَّنُ is a mistranscription for يُؤْبَنُ; for it is immediately added, فَهُوَ مَأْبُونٌ:]) when, however, you say يؤبن [i. e. يُؤْبَنُ or ↓ يُؤَبَّنٌ] alone, it relates to evil only. (AA, T. [But see 2.]) And فُلَانٌ يَؤَبَنُ بِكَذَا, or ↓ يُؤَبَّنُ, Such a one is evil spoken of by the imputation of such a thing. (S, accord. to different copies.) And it is said respecting the assembly of the Prophet, فِيهِ الحُرَمُ, ↓ لَا تُؤَبَّنُ, (T, and so in a copy of the S,) or لا تُؤْبَنُ, (so in some copies of the S,) i. e. Women (T) shall not be mentioned in an evil manner therein: (T, S:) or shall not have evil imputations cast upon them, nor be found fault with, nor shall that which is foul be said of them, nor that which ought not, of things whereof one should be ashamed. (IAar, T.) ― -b2- Also, and ↓ أبّنهُ, (M, K,) inf. n. تَأْبِينٌ, (K,) He found fault with him, or blamed him, to his face; (M, K;) and he upbraided him, or reproached him. (M.)
