صَابِرٌ ذ and ↓ صَبُورٌ, (M, K,) the latter of which is also applied to a female, without ة, (M,) and ↓ صَبِيرٌ (M, K) and ↓ صَبَّارٌ, (M,) are epithets from صَبَرَ “ he was patient, or enduring: ” (M, K:) the five following epithets are said to denote different degrees of patience: صَابِرٌ is the most general of them [in signification, meaning simply Patient, or enduring ]: ↓ مُصْطَبِرٌ signifies acquiring patience; and tried with patience: ↓ مُتَصَبِّرٌ, constraining himself to be patient: ↓ صَبُورٌ, having great patience; [or very patient; ] whose patience is greater than that of others; [as also ↓ صَبِيرٌ; or this signifies rendered patient, from صَبَرَهُ;] denoting quality, or manner: and ↓ صَبَّارٌ, having an intense degree of patience; [or having very great patience; ] denoting measure, and quantity: the pl. of ↓ صَبُورٌ is صُبُرٌ. (TA.) As an epithet applied to God, (Aboo-Is-hák [i. e. Zj],) ↓ الصَّبُورُ signifies The Clement, or Forbearing, who does not hastily avenge Himself upon the disobedient, but forgives, or defers: (Aboo-Is-hák, K:) [it may be well rendered The Long-suffering: ] it is an intensive epithet. (TA.) One says also, هُوَ صَابِرٌ عَلَى البَرْدِ (tropical:) [ He is a patient endurer of cold ]. (A.)
