دُبَادِبٌ دبادب Very clamorous; (IAar, T, K;) as also جُبَاجِبٌ: (IAar, T:) or both signify very evil, or mischievous, and clamorous. (Az, in TA, art. جب.) ― -b2- And A bulky, or corpulent, man. (K.)

دَابَّةٌ دابه دابة [originally a fem. part. n.], for نَفْسٌ دَابَّةٌ, (M,) [or the ة is added لِلنَّقْلِ, i. e. for the purpose of transferring the word from the category of epithets to that of substs.,] Anything that walks [or creeps or crawls ] upon the earth; as also ↓ دَبِيبٌ: (S: see دِبَّةٌ:) an animal that walks or creeps or crawls (يَدِبُّ); (M, A, K;) discriminating and not discriminating: (M:) any animal upon the earth: (Msb:) it is said in the Kur [xxiv. 44], وَا@للّٰهُ خَلَقَ كُلَّ دَابَّةٍ مِنْ مَاآءٍ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْشِى عَلَى بَطْنِهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْشِى عَلَى رِجْلَيْنِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْشِى عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ [ And God hath created every دابّة of water (meaning of the seminal fluid); and of them is he that goeth upon his belly, and of them is he that goeth upon two legs, and of them is he that goeth upon four ]: here, as دابّة applies to a rational and an irrational creature, the expression فمنهم is used; for which, if it applied only to an irrational creature, فَمِنْهَا or فَمِنْهُنَّ would be used: moreover, the expression من يمشى is used, though دابّة applies originally to an irrational creature, [or rather a beast, and a reptile, ] because the different classes of beings are spoken of collectively: (M:) and this passage of the Kur refutes the assertion of him who excludes the bird from the significations of this word: (Msb:) in the last verse but one of ch. xxxv. of the Kur, it is said to relate to mankind and the jinn (or genii) and every rational being; or to have a general signification: (M:) its predominant signification is a beast that is ridden: (S, M, A, K:) especially a beast of the equine kind; i. e. a horse, a mule, and an ass: (Kull:) or particularly a بِرْذَوْن [meaning hackney, or horse for ordinary use and for journeying: (M:) but as particularly applied, when used absolutely, to a horse and a mule, it is an adventitious conventional term: (Msb:) it is applied to a male and a female: (M, A, Msb, K:) and is properly an epithet: (M:) pl. دَوَابُّ. (Msb, TA.) The dim. [signifying Any small animal that walks or creeps or crawls upon the earth, a small beast, a small reptile or creeping thing, a creeping insect, and any insect, and also a mollusk, a shell-fish (as in an instance cited voce مَحَارَةٌ in art. حور) and the like, ] is ↓ دُوَيْبَّةٌ, (Zj, T, Msb,) in which the ى is quiescent, but pronounced with اـِشْمَام [i. e. a slight approximation to the sound of kesr], as it is in every similar case, in a dim. n., when followed by a doubled letter: (Zj, T:) and ↓ دُوَابَّةٌ also has been heard, with the ى changed into ا anomalously. (Msb; and L in art. هد, on the authority of ISd.) ― -b2- دَابَّةُ الأَرْضِ [ The Beast of the Earth ] is an appellation of one of the signs of the time of the resurrection: (S, M, K:) or the first of those signs. (K.) It is said to be a beast sixty cubits in length, or height, with legs, and with fur (وَبَر), and to be diverse in form, resembling a number of different animals. (TA.) It will come forth in Tihámeh, or between Es-Safà and ElMarweh, (M,) or at Mekkeh, from Jebel Es- Safà, which will rend open for its egress, during one of the nights when people are going to Minè; or from the district of Et-Táïf; (K) or from three places, three several times. (M, K.) It will make, upon the face of the unbeliever, a black mark; and upon the face of the believer, a white mark: the unbeliever's mark will spread until his whole face becomes black; and the believer's, until his whole face becomes white: then they will assemble at the table, and the believer will be known from the unbeliever. (M.) It is also said that it will have with it the rod of Moses and the seal of Solomon: with the former it will strike the believer; and with the latter it will stamp the face of the unbeliever, impressing upon it “ This is an unbeliever. ” (K.) ― -b3- See also أَرَضَةٌ.

دَيْبُوبٌ ديبوب : see دَبُوبٌ.

The subst. is with kesr; and the inf. n., with fet-h; accord. to a rule constantly obtaining, (S, * K, * TA,) except in some anomalous instances, (TA,) when the verb is of the measure فَعَلَ (S, K, TA) or فَعِلَ, (TA,) and its aor. is of the measure يَفْعِلُ. (S, K, TA.) [Here it should be observed that مَجْرًى, given as the explanation of مَدِبٌّ and مَدَبٌّ in the K, is both an inf. n. and a n. of place and of time: but J clearly explains both these words as above; and F seems, in the K, to assign to them both the same signification.]

You say, يُدْبِرُ بِالدَّلْوِ اـِلَى الحَوْضِ [ He goes back with the bucket to the watering-trough ]: opposed to the phrase يُقْبِلُ بِهَا اـِلَى بِئْرِ. (A.) See also دَبِيرٌ, first sentence.

(TA.) And ادبر النَّهَارِ and ↓ دَبَرَ (inf. n. of the latter دُبُورٌ, A) signify the same; (Fr, T, S, M;) i. e. The day went, or departed; (M, A;) and so الصَّيْفُ [ the summer, or the spring ]: and in like manner one says [in the contr. sense] أَقْبَلَ and قَبَلَ: so says Fr, and he adds, but you say of a man, اقبل الرَّاكِبُ and ادبر only, with ا, though [Az says] it seems to me that the two forms are applicable in the same manner to men as they are to times. (T.) Some read, in the Kur [lxxiv. 36], ↓ وَا@للَّيْلِ اـِذَا دَبَرَ, (T, S,) which, accord. to some, means And the night when it cometh after the day; (T;) or when it followeth the day: (S: [for another rendering, see 1:]) others, (T, S,) the greater number, (T,) read اذا أَدْبَرَ, (T, S,) meaning when it retreateth to depart. (T.) [Hence,] ادبرت الصَّلَاةُ (assumed tropical:) The prayer ended. (Bd in l. 39.) And وَاـِدْبَارَ السُّجُودِ: and وَاـِدْبَارَ النُّجُومِ: see دُبُرٌ.

(IAar, T, TT, TA. [See also 3.]) -A5- It signifies also عَرَفَ دَبِيرَهُ مِنْ قَبِيلِهِ, (IAar,) or عَرَفَ قَبِيلَهُ مِنْ دَبِيرِهِ; (K;) said of a man. (IAar.

Jereer says, (M,) وَلَا تَتَّقُونَ الشَّرَّ حَتَّىيُصِيبَكُمْ وَلَا تَعْرِفُونَ الأَمْرَ اـِلَّا تَدَبُّرَا [ And ye fear not evil until it befalleth you, and ye know not the thing save at the last, when it has past ].

10 استدبرهُ أستدبره استدبره استدبرة ٱستدبر ٱستدبره contr. of استقبلهُ. (S, * Msb, K. *) [As such it signifies He turned his back towards him, or it. ] You say, استدبر القِبْلَةَ He turned his back towards the kibleh. (MA.) ― -b2- [As such also,] He came behind him. (TA.) You say, استدبرهُ فَرَمَاهُ (A, TA) He came behind him and cast, or shot, at him. (TA.) ― -b3- [As such also, He saw it behind him: he looked back to it: he saw it, or knew it, afterwards: ] he saw, (M, K,) or knew, (TA,) at the end of it, namely, an affair, or a case, what he did not see, (M, K,) or know, (TA,) at the beginning of it: (M, K:) [or rather] he knew it at the end of an affair, or a case; namely, a thing that he did not know at the beginning of it.

(T.) [See also 5.] ― -b4- استدبرهُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ He appropriated it to himself exclusively, in preference to others: (AO, K:) because he who does so turns his back upon others, and retires from them.

[ I sipped it ] not appropriating [it] to myself exclusively [ in preference to the other drinkers, nor denying what was known ]. (AO, TA.)

دَبْرٌ دبر The location, or quarter, that is behind a thing. (K. [In the CK, for خَلْف is put خَلَف.]) Hence the saying, (TA,) جَعَلْتُ كَلَامَهُ دَبْرَ أُذُنِى (assumed tropical:) I turned away from his speech, and feigned myself deaf to it: (T, S:) I did not listen to his speech, nor care for it, or regard it. (M, K, * TA.) You say also, أُذُنِهِ ↓ جَعَلَهُ دَابِرَ (tropical:) He turned away from him, avoided him, or shunned him. (T, * A.) ― -b2- See also دَبَرِىٌّ. ― -b3- Also, [like اـِدْبَارٌ, inf. n. of 4,] (assumed tropical:) Death. (K.) ― -b4- And (assumed tropical:) Constant sleep: (M, K:) it is like تَسْبِيخٌ. (M.) -A2- I. q. ↓ دِبَارٌ; these two words being pls. [or rather coll. gen. ns.] whereof the sings. [or ns. un.] are ↓ دَبْرَةٌ and ↓ دِبَارَةٌ; which signify A مَشَارَة [explained in the TA as meaning a channel of water; but it seems to be here used as meaning a portion of ground separated from the adjacent parts, for sowing or planting, being surrounded by dams, or by ridges of earth, which retain the water for irrigation, as explained in art. شور, and as is indicated by its Persian equivalent here following,] in, (S,) or of, (K,) land that is sown or for sowing; (S, K;) called in Persian كُرْد: (S:) and دِبَارٌ signifies small channels for irrigation between tracts of seedproduce; (K;) and its sing. is دَبْرَةٌ: (TA:) [Mtr says,] دَبْرَةٌ is syn. with مَشَارَةٌ; in Persian كَرْدَه [app. a mistranscription for كُرْد as above]; and the pl. is دَبْرٌ and دِبَارٌ: (Mgh:) [ISd says,] دَبْرَةٌ signifies a small channel for irrigation between tracts of land sown or for sowing: or, as some say, i. q. مَشَارَةٌ: and the pl. is دِبَارٌ: it is also said that دِبَارٌ signifies i. q. كُرْدَةٌ; and its n. un. is دِبَارَةٌ: and دِبَارَاتٌ signifies rivulets that flow through land of seed-produce; and its sing. is دَبْرَةٌ: but I know not how this is, unless دَبْرَةٌ have دِبَارٌ for its pl., and this have ة added to it, as in فِحَالَةٌ, and so دبارات be a pl. pl., i. e. perfect pl. of دِبَارَةٌ: AHn says that دَبْرَةٌ signifies a patch of ground that is sown; [as is also said in the K;] and the pl. is دِبَارٌ. (M.) ― -b2- Also A piece of rugged ground in a بَحْرٌ [i. e. sea or large river ], like an island, which the water overflows [ at times ] and from which [ at times ] it recedes. (M, K.) ― -b3- And A mountain; (T, K;) in the Abyssinian language: (TA: [Az says, “I know not whether it be Arabic or not:”]) whence the saying of the King of Abyssinia, (T, * K, * TA,) مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِى دَبْرًا ذَهَبًا وَأَنِّىاآذَيْتُ رَجُلًا مِنَ المُسْلِمِينَ [ I would not that I had a mountain of gold and that I had harmed a man of the Muslims ]: (T, K:) but [SM says that] this is a confounding of two readings; which are, دَبْرًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ and أَنْ يَكُونَ دَبْرٌ لِى ذَهَبًا: (TA:) another reading is ذَبْرًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. (TA in art. ذبر.) ― -b4- See also دِبْرٌ. ― -b5- Also, (S, M, K, &c.,) and ↓ دِبْرٌ, (AHn, M, K,) A swarm of bees: and hornets, or large wasps; syn. زَنَابِيرُ: (S, M, K:) and the like thereof, having stings in their hinder parts: (B:) it has no sing., or n. un.: (As, M:) or the n. un. is ↓ دَبْرَةٌ or ↓ دِبْرَةٌ; of which the dim. ↓ دُبَيْرَةٌ occurs in a trad.: (TA:) pl. [of pauc.] أَدْبُرٌ (K) and [of mult.] دُبُورٌ: (As, S, K:) and ↓ دَبُورٌ, with fet-h to the first letter, signifies bees; and has no proper sing. (M.) 'Ásim Ibn-Thábit El-Ansáree was called حَمِىُّ الدَّبْرِ [ The protected of hornets, or bees ], because his corpse was protected from his enemies by large hornets, (S,) or by a swarm of bees. (M, Mgh * in art. حمى.) ― -b6- دَبْرٌ also signifies The young ones of locusts; (AHn, K;) and so ↓ دِبْرٌ. (AHn, M, K.)

دُبْرٌ دبر : see دُبُرٌ: and دَبَرِىٌّ; the latter in two places. -A2- See also 4, first sentence.

[and dual] and pl. are alike: you say [using it as an epithet] مَالٌ دِبْرٌ and مَالَانِ دِبْرٌ and أَمْوَالٌ دِبْرٌ: (S, M:) this mode of usage is best known; but sometimes دُبُورٌ is used as its pl.: (M:) in like manner you say مَالٌ دَثْرٌ: and you say also رَجُلٌ ذُو دِبْرٍ, (S, TA,) and رجل دبر, [unless this be a mistake for the phrase immediately preceding,] (Fr, TA,) meaning a man having large possessions in land or houses or other property. (Fr, S, TA.)

دَبَرٌ دبر [app. signifies A tract of the western sky at sunset: for] the Arabs said, اـِذَا رَأَيْتَ الثُّرَيَّا بِدَبَرْ فَشَهْرٌ نِتَاجْ وَشَهْرٌ مَطَرْ وَاـِذَا رَأَيْتَ الشِّعْرَى بِقَبَلْ فَمَجْدُ فَتًى وَحِمْلُ جَمَلْ, meaning When thou seest the Pleiades near to setting with sunset, then [ is a month which ] is a time of breeding of camels, and [ a month which is ] a time of rain: and when thou seest Sirius [ near to rising ] with sunset, [ then is the glory of the generous man, and the time for the burden of the full-grown hecamel; for] then is the most intense degree of cold, when none but the generous and noble and ingenuous man will patiently persevere in the exercise of hospitality and beneficence, and when the heavy burden is not laid save upon the strong full-grown he-camel, because then the camels become lean and the pasturage is scanty. (M.) -A2- Also, and so is أَدْبَارٌ, a pl. [or rather the former is a coll. gen. n.] of ↓ دَبَرَةٌ, (S, M, K,) which signifies A gall, or sore, on the back (M, * Mgh, K, * TA) of a horse or the like (M, K, TA) and of a camel, (M, Mgh,) produced by the saddle and the like; (Mgh;) and also on the كِرْكِرَة [or callous projection on the breast ] of a camel. (S and K in art. سر.) They used to say, in the Time of Ignorance, اـِذَا بَرَأَ الدَّبَرُ وَعَفَا الأَثَرُ, explained as meaning [ When ] the galls on the back of the beast or upon the foot of the camel [ shall heal, and the footstep, or mark, become obliterated ]. (TA from a trad.) -A3- Also inf. n. of دَبِرَ. (M, Mgh.)

دَبِرٌ دبر (M, K) and ↓ أَدْبَرُ (M) A horse or the like, (M, K,) and a camel, (M,) having galls, or sores, (M, K,) on his back (TA) [ produced by the saddle and the like; having his back galled: see دَبَرٌ]: fem. [of the former] دَبِرَةٌ and [of the latter] ↓ دَبْرَاآءُ: and pl. [of either] دَبْرَى. (M, TA.) [Hence the prov.,] هَانَ عَلَى الأَمْلَسِ مَا لَاقَى الدَّبِرُ [ What he that had galls on his back experienced was a light matter to him that had a sound back ]: applied to one who has an ill concern for his companion. (K.) ― -b2- In the phrase رَجُلٌ خَسِرٌ وَدَبِرٌ [app. meaning A man erring and perishing ], Lh says that دَبِرٌ is an imitative sequent to خَسِرٌ: but [ISd says,] I think that خَسِرٌ is a verbal epithet, and that دَبِرٌ is a possessive epithet. (M in art. دمر.) You say also أَحْمَقٌ دَامِرٌ ↓ خَاسِرٌ دَابِرٌ: (T in art. بت: [see art. خسر:]) and دَابِرٌ is said to be an imitative sequent to خَاسِرٌ. (TA.)

دُبُرٌ دبر and ↓ دُبْرٌ, (the latter a contraction of the former, Msb, [and not so commonly used, like as اـِبْلٌ is not so commonly used as اـِبِلٌ,]) The back; syn. ظَهْرٌ: (S, A, B, K;) the first signification given in the [S and] A and B: pl. أَدْبَارٌ. (TA.) You say, وَلَّى دُبُرَهُ [lit., He turned his back; and tropically,] (tropical:) he was put to flight. (A.) And وَلَّاهُ دُبُرَهُ [lit., He turned his back to him; and tropically,] the same as the phrase immediately preceding. (Mgh, Msb.) It is said in the Kur [liv. 45], وَيُوَلُّونَ الدُّبُرَ [ And they shall turn the back, in flight]: where الدبر is used in a collective sense, agreeably with another passage in the Kur [xiv. 44], لَا يَرْتَدُّ اـِلَيْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْ. (S, B.) You also say, ↓ وَلَّوْا دَبْرَةً (tropical:) They turned back in flight, or being routed. (A, TA.) ― -b2- The back, or hinder part, contr. of قُبُلٌ, (S, A, Msb, K,) of anything: (Msb:) as, for instance, of a shirt. (Kur xii. 25, 27, and 28.) You say, وَقَعَ السَّهْمُ بِدُبْرِ الهَدَفِ The arrow fell behind the butt. (TA in art. قبل.) ― -b3- The backside; posteriors; buttocks; rump; or podex: and the anus: syn. اِسْتٌ. (K.) [It has the former of these two significations in many instances; and the latter of them in many other instances: in the S and K in art. جعر, it is given as a syn. of مَجْعَرٌ, which has the latter signification in the present day. This latter signification may also be intended in the S, M, A, Msb, and K, by the explanation “ contr. of قُبُلٌ, ” as well as the “ back, or hinder part, ” of anything: for قُبُلٌ very often signifies the “ anterior pudendum ” of a man or woman, and is so explained. The anus is also called حَلْقَةُ الدُّبُرِ and حِتَارُ الدُّبُرِ and شَرَجُ الدُّبُرِ.] Its pl. أَدْبَارٌ is also applied to the part which comprises the اِسْت [or anus ] and the حَيَاآء [or vulva, i. e., external portion of the female organs of generation, ] of a solid-hoofed animal, and of a cloven-hoofed animal, and of that which has claws, or talons: or, as some say, of a camel, or an animal having feet like those of the camel: and the sing., to the حَيَاآء [or vulva ] alone, of any such animal. (M, TT.) ― -b4- (assumed tropical:) The latter, or last, part, (T, S, M, Msb, K,) of a thing, an affair, or an event, (T, S, Msb,) or of anything: (M, K:) pl. أَدْبَارٌ (M) [and دِبَارٌ: see دَبَرِىٌّ]. [See also دَابِرٌ.] One says, جِئْتُكَ دُبُرِ الشَّهْرِ, and فِى دُبُرِهِ, and عَلَى دُبُرِهِ, and أَدْبَارَ الشَّهْرِ, and فِى أَدْبَارِهِ, (tropical:) I came to thee in the latter, or last, part or parts, of the month. (M, K.) And أَدْعُو لَكَ فِى أَدْبَارِ الصَّلَوَاتِ (assumed tropical:) [ I will petition for thee in the latter, or last, parts, or the conclusions, of the prayers ]. (A.) See also دَبَرِىٌّ. In the Kur [I. xxxix.], وَأَدْبَارَ السُّجُودِ signifies (assumed tropical:) And in the latter parts, or the ends, of the prayers: and السُّجُودِ ↓ وَاـِدْبَارَ [virtually] signifies the same [i. e. and in the ending of prostration ], and is another reading of the text: Ks and Th adopt the former reading, because every single prostration has its latter part: or, accord. to the T, the meaning is, and in the two rek'ahs (الرَّكْعَتَانِ) after sunset; as is related on the authority of 'Alee the son of Aboo-Tálib. (TA.) The similar expression in the Kur [lii. last verse] وَأَدْبَارَ النُّجُومِ is explained by the lexicologists as signifying (assumed tropical:) And during the consecution of the stars, and their taking towards the west, to set: but [ISd says,] I know not how this is, since أَخْذٌ, by which they explain it, is an inf. n., and أَدْبَار is a pl. of a subst.: النُّجُومِ ↓ وَاـِدْبَارَ, which is another reading of the text, signifies and during the setting of the stars: and Ks and Th adopt this latter reading: (M:) or, accord. to the T, both mean and in the two rek'ahs before daybreak. (TA.) ― -b5- Also The hinder part, (M,) and angle, (زَاوِيَة,) of a house or chamber or tent. (M, K.) ― -b6- عِتْقَ العَبْدِ عَنْ دُبُرٍ (S, K) means The emancipation of the slave after the death of his owner. (S, Mgh, * Msb. * [See 2.]) ― -b7- [See also دَبِيرٌ, of which, and of دِبَارٌ, دُبُرٌ is said in the TA in art. قبل to be a pl.].

دَبْرَةٌ دبر دبره دبرة : see دُبُرٌ. ― -b2- Also (assumed tropical:) A turn of evil fortune; an unfavourable turn of fortune: or a turn to be vanquished; contr. of دَوْلَةٌ: (As, M, K:) دَوْلَةٌ relates to good; and دَبْرَةٌ, to evil: one says, جَعَلَ ا@للّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ الدَّبْرَةَ (assumed tropical:) [ May God make the turn of evil fortune to be against him ]: (As, T, M:) this [says ISd] is the best explanation that I have seen of دَبْرَةٌ: (M:) or (so accord. to the M, but in the K “ and ”) it signifies (assumed tropical:) the issue, or result, of a thing or an affair or a case; (M, K;) as in the saying of Aboo-Jahl to Ibn-Mes'ood, when he [the former] lay prostrate, wounded, لِمَنِ الدَّبْرَةُ (assumed tropical:) In whose favour is the issue, or result? and was answered, “ In favour of God and his apostle, O enemy of God: ” (T, TA:) also (tropical:) defeat in fight; (S, A, Mgh, K;) a subst. from الاـِدْبَارُ, as also ↓ دَبَرَةٌ, (S,) and ↓ دَابِرَةٌ: (IAar, A, K:) you say, كَانَتِ الدَّبْرَةُ لَهُ, meaning (tropical:) His adversary was defeated; and عَلَيْهِ meaning (tropical:) He was himself defeated: (A:) and لِمَنِ الدَّبْرَةُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) Who is the defeater? and عَلَىمَنِ الدَّبْرَةُ (assumed tropical:) Who is the defeated? the pl. of دَبْرَةٌ in the last sense is دِبَارٌ: (TA:) which also signifies conflicts and defeats; (K;) as in the saying, أَوْقَعَ ا@للّٰهُ بِهِمُ الدِّبَارَ God caused, or may God cause, to befall them conflicts and defeats. (TA.) -A2- See also دَبْرٌ, in two places.

دِبْرَةٌ دبر دبره دبرة The direction, or point, towards which one turns his back; contr. of قِبْلَةٌ. (S, K.) One says, مَا لَهُ قِبْلَةٌ وَلَا دِبْرَةٌ, meaning (tropical:) He has no way of applying himself rightly to his affair. (S, K, TA.) And لَيْسَ لِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ قِبْلَةٌ وَلَا دِبْرَةٌ (tropical:) The right way of executing this affair is not known. (S, A.) ― -b2- See also اـِدْبَارَةٌ. -A2- And see دَبْرٌ, near the end.

You say, العِلْمُ قَبَلِىٌّوَلَيْسَ بِالدَّبَرِىِّ (assumed tropical:) [True learning is prompt, and is not backward ]: i. e., the man of sound learning answers thee quickly; but the backward says, I must consider it. (Th, T.) And تَبِعْتُ صَاحِبِى دَبَرِيًّا (assumed tropical:) I followed my companion, fearing that he would escape me, after having been with him, and having fallen back from him. (M.) And شَرُّ الرَّأْىِ الدَّبَرِىُّ (T, S, A, K *) (tropical:) The worst opinion, or counsel, is that which occurs [ to one ] late, when the want [ of it ] is past; (T, S, K, * TA;) i. e., when the affair is past: or رَأْىٌ دَبَرِىٌّ signifies an opinion, or a counsel, not deeply looked into; and in like manner, جَوَابٌ, an answer, or a reply. (M.) And فُلَانٌ لَا يُصَلِّى الصَّلَاةَ اـِلَّا دَبَرِيًّا (AZ, S, M, A, K) and ↓ دَبْرِيًّا, (AHeyth, K,) and the relaters of traditions say ↓ دُبُرِيًّا, (S,) which is said in the K to be a corruption, but it may have been heard from a good authority, and with respect to the rules of the language is chaste, for, accord. to IAth, دَبَرِىٌّ is a rel. n. irregularly formed from دُبُرٌ, (TA,) (tropical:) Such a one performs not prayer save in the last part of its time. (AZ, S, K *) It is said in a trad., لَا يَأْتِى الصَّلَاةِ اـِلَّا دَبَرِيًّا; and in another, ↓ الّا دُبْرًا or ↓ دَبْرًا, accord. to different relations; (tropical:) He will not come to prayer save at the last, or late: and in another, ↓ أَتَى الصَّلَاةَ دِبَارًا (tropical:) He came to prayer at the latest of the times thereof; (IAar, TA;) or after the time had gone: (S:) ↓ دِبَارٌ being a pl. of ↓ دُبُرٌ and ↓ دُبْرٌ meaning the last of the times of prayer &c. (IAar, TA.) One says also, ↓ جَاآءَ فُلَانٌ دَبْرِيًّا (tropical:) Such a one came last, or latest. (A, * TA.) دبريًّا is in the accus. case as an adv. n. of time [like دُبْرًا and دَبْرًا and دِبَارًا], or as a denotative of state with respect to the agent of the verb. (TA.) In the passage in the K [where it is said that دَبَرِىٌّ signifies Prayer in the last of its time, &c.], there is a looseness. (TA.)

His west wind, or westerly wind, blew violently, and his Sirius set: meaning (tropical:) his evil fortune prevailed, and his good fortune departed: for the دبور is the worst of winds, as observed above, and Sirius sets aurorally in the beginning of winter, when provisions become scarce].
