رَبِيثَةٌ ذ , (T, S, M, K,) a subst. from رَبَثَهُ signifying as expl. in the second sentence of this art., (T,) and ↓ رِبِّيثَى (T, S, M, K,) [in like manner a subst.] from رَبَثَهُ signifying as expl. in the first sentence of this art., (T,) A thing, or an event, that hinders, withholds, restrains, or prevents, one [from a thing that he wants, and from his affair; and that turns, or diverts, one therefrom; and that deceives, or deludes, one ]: (S, K:) or both signify deceit, or delusion; [in which sense, accord, to the TA, the former word is expl. in the K, but it is not so in my MS. copy of the K nor in the CK;] and hindrance, restraint, or prevention: (M, TA:) pl. of the former رَبَائِثُ. (TA.) You say, فَعَلَ ذٰلِكَ لَهُ رَبِيثَةً and ↓ رِبِّيثَى He did that to him from a motive of deceit, or delusion, and hindrance, restraint, or prevention. (M.) And اـِنَّمَا قُلْتُ ذٰلِكَ رَبِيثَةً مِنِّى I said that only from a motive of deceit, or delusion, on my part. (ISk, T.) It is said in a trad., تَعْتَرضُ الشَّيَاطِينُ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الجُمُعَةِ بِالَّربَائِثِ, meaning [ The devils go forth against men indiscriminately, on Friday, ] with the means of hindering them, or withholding them, from prayer: (M:) or اـِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الجُمُعَةِ بَعَثَ اـِبْلِيسُ جُنُودَهُ اـِلَى النَّاسِ فَأَخَذُوا عَلَيْهِمْ بَالرَّبَائِثِ, i. e. [ When Friday is come, Iblees sends forth his forces to men, and ] they remind them of the wants that hinder, or withhold, them [from the prayers of that day]: (S:) or, as some relate it, ↓ يَرْمُونَ النَّاسَ بِالتَّرَابِيثِ, which is said by El-Khattábee to be of no account; but it may mean [ they assail men with ] hindrances; for تَرَابِيثُ may be pl. of ↓ تَرْبِيثَةٌ, inf. n. un. of رَبَّثَهُ. (MF.) -A2- See also رَبِيثٌ last sentence.
