وهب

1 وَهَبَ لَهُ شَيْئًا ذ , (aor. يَهَبُ, K; said to be originally يَوْهِبُ; which is changed into يَهِبُ because of the kesr; and then, into يَهَبُ because of the medial guttural letter; Msb, voce وَسِعَ;) inf. n. وَهْبٌ and وَهَبٌ and هِبَةٌ (S, K) and مَوْهِبٌ and مَوْهِبَةٌ, (Msb,) or the last two are substs., (S, K, &c.) He gave him a thing; properly, as a free gift, disinterestedly, and not for any compensation. (Msb, TA.) You should not say وَهَبَكَهُ [ he gave it to thee ], (K, &c.,) making the verb doubly trans.: (TA:) or [this is allowable, as it is said that] AA has related this on the authority of an Arab of the desert: so in the K: but in the L, it is said that Seer has related this, from 'Amr, (meaning Sb,) from an Arab of the desert. (TA.) En-Nawawee allows the expression وَهَبُتُ كَذَا مِنْهُ, meaning, I gave such a thing to him, &c.; (من being redundant, as in بِعْتُ كَذَا مِنْهُ “ I sold such a thing to him; ”) as occurring in several trads. (MF.) ― -b2- See 3. ― -b3- وَهَبَنِىا@للّٰهُ فِدَاكَ May God make me [or give me as ] thy ransom! (IAar, K.) وُهِبْتُ فِدَاكَ May I be made [or given as ] thy ransom! Ibn-Umm-Kásim says, that وهب is one of the verbs which signify He caused to be, or to become: and he cites the above phrase from IAar; and adds, that the verb is only used in the pret. tense. Others assert it to be rare. (TA.) ― -b4- هَبْنِى فَعَلْتُ ذٰلِكَ Suppose me; syn. ظُنَّنِى; (AHei, cited by Fei;) or count me, or reckon me; syn. أُحْسُبْنِى وَا@عْدُدْنِى; (M, K;) [or grant me; ] to have done that. (M, K. *) هَبْ زَيْدًا مَنْطَلِقًا Suppose Zeyd to be going away, or gone away; syn. اـِحْسَبْ. (So in two copies of the S: in another, أُحْسُبْ.) Thus this verb is doubly trans.: (S:) but it is not used in this sense in the pret., nor in the aor.: (S, K:) you do not say وَهَبْتُكَ فَعَلْتَ ذٰلِكَ [ I supposed thee to have done that ]: nor (as some assert, Msb,) do you say هَبْ أَنِّى فَعَلْتُ, (TA,) as say the vulgar, though what the grammarians say, respecting the class of verbs to which ظَنَنْتُ belongs, that أَنَّ and اـِنَّ [with what follows them] may supply the place of the two objective complements, [as when you say ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ زَيْدًا قَائِمٌ, and ظننت اـِنَّ زَيْدًا لَقَائِمٌ, “ I thought Zeyd to be standing, ”] affords matter for controverting this. (Msb.)
