عجب

4 اعجبهُ ذ It (a thing, or an affair, or event, TA) induced, or excited, him to wonder. (K, TA. [See also 2.]) In the following saying of Ibn- Keys-er-Rukeiyát, رَأَتْ فِى الرَّأْسِ مِنِّى شَيْبَةً لَسْتُ أُغَيِّبُهَا فَقَالَتْ لِى ا@بْنُ قَيْسٍ ذَا وَبَعْضُ الشَّيْبِ يُعْجِبُهَا the meaning is, [ She saw upon my head some hoariness, which I did not hide; and she said to me, “ Is this Ibn-Keys? ” somewhat of hoariness ] causing her to have wonder. (TA.) ― -b2- And It (a thing, or an affair, or event, TA) induced in him wonder, or admiration, and pleasure, or joy: (K:) or it excited his admiration, or approval: (Msb:) or it pleased, or rejoiced, him. (TA.) You say, أَعْجَبَنِى هٰذَا الشَّىْءُ لِحُسْنِهِ [ This thing has excited my admiration, or approval, or has pleased me, for its goodness, or goodliness, or beauty ]. (S, O.) And أَعْجَبَنِى حُسْنُهُ [ Its goodness, or goodliness, or beauty, excited my admiration, &c.]. (Msb.) ― -b3- And أُعْجِبَ بِهِ He was excited to wonder, or admiration, and pleasure, or joy, by it; he admired it, and was pleased with it, or rejoiced by it. (K.) You say, أُعْجِبَ بِنَفْسِهِ, (S, O, Msb,) inf. n. اـِعْجَابٌ, [which is often used as syn. with عُجْبٌ, the corresponding subst.,] (O,) [ He admired himself, (lit. was excited to admiration by himself, ) was pleased with himself, or was self-conceited, or vain; or] he exalted, and magnified, himself; was haughty, and proud. (Msb.) ― -b4- [مَا أَعْجَبَهُ generally signifies How wonderful is it! ] ― -b5- مَا أَعْجَبَهُ بِرَأْيِهِ [ How greatly does he admire his opinion or judgment! or how greatly is he pleased with it! or how conceited, or vain, or proud, is he of it! ] is anomalous [in two respects], (S, O, K,) not to be taken as an example to be imitated; (S, O;) for the verb here is formed from a passive [and augmented] verb [أُعْجِبَ], like as is the case in مَا أَشْغَلَهُ; whereas it is the primary rule with respect to the verb of wonder that it shall not be formed from any but an active [and unaugmented] verb. (TA.)
