(TA.) ― -b2- نَاحَيْتُهُ اـِلَى فَلَانٍ I cited him, or invited him, to submit our case to such a one as judge; I cited him before such a one as judge. (S, K.) ― -b3- ناحبته I contended with him, or disputed with him, for glory, or honour, or superiority in glorious or honourable qualities and the like, (K,) before a judge, or umpire. (TA.) ― -b4- Talhah said to Ibn-'Abbás, هَلْ لَكَ فِى أَنْ أُنَاحِبَكَ وَتَرْفَعَ النَّبِىَّ (S) [or تَرْفَعُ النبى: for I find it stated in the margin of a copy of the S, that J left the final letter of ترفع without a vowel point, either fet-hah or dammeh:] Wilt thou that I contend with thee, or dispute with thee, for glory, or honour, and that thou enumerate thine excellencies and the honour which thou derivest from thine ancestors &c., I doing the like, and that thou put the Prophet out of the question, not mentioning thy relationship to him, since this excellence is conceded to thee? (AM.)
