حسب

حِسْبَةٌ حسب حسبه حسبة [originally The act of numbering, counting, &c.: or a mode, or manner, of numbering, &c.: see 1. ― -b2- ] A subst. from اِحْتَسَبَ أَجْرًا; (S, Msb, K;) syn. with اِحْتِسَابٌ (A) [as meaning A reckoning upon, or seeking, or preparing or providing, or laying up for oneself in store, a reward in the world to come ]. You say, فَعَلَهُ حِسْبَةً [ He did it reckoning upon, or seeking, &c., a reward in the world to come ]. (A, TA.) ― -b3- هُوَ حَسَنُ الحِسْبَةِ He is good in respect of managing, conducting, ordering, or regulating, (S, A, Msb, K,) and examining, or judging, (Msb,) and sufficing, (A,) فِى الأَمْرِ in the affair. (S, A, Msb.) This is not from اِحْتِسَابُ الأَجْرِ; for احتساب الاجر relates only to an action done for the sake of God. (Msb.) -A2- A reward, or recompense: pl. حِسَبٌ. (S, K.) -A3- [The office of the مُحْتَسِب.] -A4- See also حَسْبٌ, last sentence.
