2 ذبّب عَنْهُ ذ He repelled from him, or defended him, much, or often. (S.) ― -b2- ذبّب الذُّبَابَ: see 1. -A2- ذَبَّبَتْ شَفَتُهُ: see 1. -A3- [ذَبَّبَ, inf. n. تَذْبِيبٌ, also signifies It left a ذُبَابَة, i. e. somewhat remaining. Hence,] ذبّب النَّهَارُ (S, A, TA,) or ↓ ذَبَّ, (so in the K, but corrected in the TA,) (tropical:) The day passed so as to leave thereof only a ذُبَابَة; (A, TA; *) i. e.

And طَعْنٌ وَرَمْىٌ غَيْرُ تَذْبِيبٍ (tropical:) A thrusting, or piercing, and a shooting, or casting, with energy [ so as not to leave any force unexerted ]. (S, * A, TA.) ― -b2- [Also It left not a ذُبَابَة, i.e. anything remaining: thus bearing two contr. significations. Hence,] ذبّب فِى السَّيْرِ (tropical:) He strove, laboured, toiled, or exerted himself, in going, or journeying, so that he left not a ذُبَابَة [or any part of his journey remaining unaccomplished ]: (A, TA:) [or] ذبّب signifies (assumed tropical:) he hastened, made haste, or sped; syn. أَسْرَعَ: (M:) [and, accord. to Et-Tebreezee, this is the primary signification: for he says,] التَّذْبِيبٌ is like الطِّرَادُ [app. as meaning (assumed tropical:) the act of charging, by a horse or a horseman]: but the primary meaning is الاـِسْرَاعُ. (Ham p. 207.) And ذَبَّبْنَا لَيْلَتَنَا, (S, K,) inf. n. تَذْبِيبٌ, (K,) (assumed tropical:) Our beasts became fatigued, or jaded, by journeying [ during that our night ]. (S, K.)

(K.) -A3- And He made a thing to dangle, or move to and fro; (L;) and made it to be in a state of motion, commotion, or agitation. (L, K. *) ― -b2- [Hence,] ذَبْذَبَهُ, inf. n. as above, (assumed tropical:) He left him, or made him to be, confounded, or perplexed, not knowing his right course; wavering, vacillating, or going to and fro. (Msb.) -A4- ذَبْذَبَةٌ also signifies The dangling, or moving to and fro, of a thing suspended in the air: (S, M:) and ↓ تَذَبْذُبٌ the being in a state of motion or commotion: (S, L:) [or the latter has both these meanings; for] you say, الشَّىْءُ ↓ تَذَبْذَبَ the thing dangled, or moved to and fro, (M, A, L,) in the air; (A;) and was in a state of commotion or agitation. (M, L.) It is said in a trad., فَكَأَنِّىأَنْظُرُ اـِلَى يَدَيْهِ تُذَبْذِبَانِ, meaning And it was as though I looked at his two sleeves in a state of commotion, or shaking. (TA.)

And أَمْرُهُمْ ↓ تَذَبْذَبَ (assumed tropical:) [ Their state of affairs was, or became, fluctuating, or unsteady ]. (Lh, T in art. دل.)

R. Q. 2 تَذَبْذَبَ ذ , inf. n. تَذَبْذُبٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in four places.

ذَبٌّ ذ Repelling: fem. with ة: hence ذَبَّاتُ السَّبِيبِ, a phrase used by Dhu-r-Rummeh, meaning repelling with their tails: or this may be from the signification next following. (Ham p. 510.) -A2- Much in motion. (Ham ubi suprà.) ذَبٌّ, (M, L,) or ↓ ذَابٌّ, (K,) [the former correct, and perhaps the latter also,] applied to a camel, That does not, or will not, remain still, or motionless, in a place. (M, L, K.) A poet says, فَكَأَنَّنَا فِيهِمْ جِمَالٌ ذَبَّةٌ [ And it was as though we were, among them, camels that would not remain still in a place ]: which shows that ذَبٌّ is not an inf. n. used as an epithet; for, were it so, he had said جِمَالٌ ذَبٌّ. (M, L.) ― -b2- الذَّبُّ (tropical:) The wild bull; [ a species of bovine antelope; ] also called ذَبُّ الرِّيَادِ; (T, S, M, K;) so called because he goes to and fro, not remaining in one place; (M;) or because he pastures going to and fro; (T, S, * M;) or because his females pasture with him, going to and fro: (T:) and called also ↓ الأَذَبُّ, (T, K,) by poetic license, for الذَّبُّ; (T;) and ↓ الذُّنْبُبُ. (K.) ― -b3- ذَبُّ الرِّيَادِ is also applied to (tropical:) A man who goes and comes. (Kr, M, TA.) And (tropical:) A man who is in the habit of visiting women. (AA, T, K.)

ذُبَابٌ ذ [The common fly; ] the black thing that is in houses, that falls into the vessel and into food; (M;) well known: (S, K:) so called, accord. to Ed-Demeeree, because of its fluttering about, or because it returns as often as it is driven away: (TA:) and likewise applied to the bee; (M, K;) which is also called ذُبَابُ الغَيْثِ [ the fly of the rain ], (IAth, TA,) or ذُبَابُ غَيْثٍ [ the fly of rain ]; because the rain is the means of producing herbage, and by herbage it is fed; (Mgh;) or because it accompanies rain, and lives upon that which the rain causes to grow: (IAth, TA:) [accord. to some, it is a coll. gen. n.; and] the n. un. is ↓ ذُبَابَةٌ: (S, Msb, K:) one should not say ذِبَّانَةٌ [as the vulgar do in the present day]: (S:) or one should not say ↓ ذُبَابَةٌ, though El-Ahmar and Ks are related to have used this word [as meaning a kind of fly ]; for ذُبَابٌ is a sing. [properly speaking], and is used as such in the Kur xxii. 72: (M:) the pl. (of pauc., S, Msb) is أَذِبَّهٌ and (of mult., S, Msb) ذِبَّانٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and ذُبٌّ, (M, K,) the last mentioned by Sb, accord. to the dial. of Temeem. (M.) One says, اـِنَّهُ لَأَوْهَى مِنَ الذُّبَابِ [ Verily he is more frail than the fly ]. (A.) And هُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَىَّ مِنْ طَنِينِ الذُّبَابِ [ He is more contemptible to me than the buzzing of the fly ]. (A.) مَنْجَى الذُّبَابِ [ The refuge of the fly ] is a prov., applied to him who is protected by his ignobleness. (Har p. 332: there written مَنْجَا; and in two places, منجأ.) And أَبُو الذُّبَابِ [ The father of the fly ] is an appellation used as meaning (assumed tropical:) He who has stinking breath; and some say أَبُو الذِّبَّانِ [ the father of the flies ]: (M, TA:) and is especially applied to 'Abd-El-Melik Ibn-Marwán: (M, A, TA:) whence the saying, أَبْخَرُ مِنْ أَبِى الذُّبَابِ (A, TA) and أَبِى الذِّبَّانِ (TA) [ More stinking in breath than Abu-dh-Dhubáb and Abu-dh-Dhibbán ]. ― -b2- [Hence,] (tropical:) Evil, or mischief; (A, K;) and annoyance, or harm; as in the saying, أَصَابَنِى ذُبَابٌ (tropical:) [ Evil, &c., befell me ]; (A;) and أَصَابَ فُلَانًا مِنْ فُلَانٍ ذُبَابٌ لَاذِعٌ (assumed tropical:) Evil, or mischief, [lit. a hurting fly ] fell upon such a one from such a one: (T:) or (tropical:) continual evil, as in the saying, أَصَابَكَ ذُبَابٌ مِنْ هٰذَا الأَمْرِ (tropical:) [ Continual evil hath befallen thee from this thing, or event ]; and شَرُّهَا ذُبَابٌ (tropical:) [ Her, or its, or their, evil is a continual evil ]. (TA.) ― -b3- (assumed tropical:) Ill luck. (T, K.) Fr relates that the Prophet saw a man with long hair; and said ذُبَابٌ, meaning (assumed tropical:) This is ill luck: and hence, ↓ رَجُلٌ ذُبَابِىٌّ (assumed tropical:) [ An unlucky man ]. (T.) ― -b4- (assumed tropical:) Plague, or pestilence. (TA.) ― -b5- (assumed tropical:) Diabolical possession; or madness, or insanity. (K.) ― -b6- (assumed tropical:) Ignorance: so in the phrase رَجُلٌ مَحْشِىٌّ الذُّبَابِ (assumed tropical:) [ A man stuffed with ignorance ]. (M.) ― -b7- (tropical:) The اـِنْسَان [as meaning the pupil, or apple, ] of the eye: (AZ, T, S, M, A, K:) so in the saying, هُوَ أَعَزُّ عَلَىَّ مِنْ ذُبَابِ العَيْنِ (tropical:) [ He is dearer to me than the apple of the eye ]: (A:) [ISd says,] I think it to be so termed as being likened to the ذُبَاب [properly so called; i.e. the fly]. (M.) And الذُّبَابُ also signifies (assumed tropical:) A black speck, or spot, in the interior of the حَدَقَة [or dark part ] of the eye of the horse. (M, K.) The pl. is as above. (M.) ― -b8- ذُبَابُ السَّيْفِ (T, S, M, A, Msb, K) and ↓ ذُبَابَةٌ السَّيْفِ (TA) (tropical:) The حَدّ, (M, K,) or طَرَف, (S, Msb,) [each app. here meaning the point, or extremity, though the former also means the edge, ] of the sword, (S, M, Msb, K,) which is the part wherewith one strikes: (S, Msb:) or its extremity with which one is pierced, or transpierced; and the حَدّ [here meaning edge] with which one strikes is called its غِرَار: (En-Nadr, T:) or its tapering, or pointed, extremity; expl. by طَرَفُهُ المُتَطَرِّفُ: (M, K:) or the point (حَدّ) of its extremity (M, A) which is between its شَفْرَتَانِ: (M:) the parts of its two edges that are on either side of it are its ظُبَتَانِ: the ridge in the middle of it, on the inner and outer sides, is called the عَيْر; and each has what are termed غِرَارَانِ, which are the part between the عَيْر and each one of the ظُبَتَانِ on the outer side of the sword and the corresponding portion of the inner side, each of the غِرَارَانِ being on the inner side of the sword and its outer side. (AZ, T, TA.) [The swords of the Arabs, in the older times, were generally straight, twoedged, and tapering to a point; and so are many of them in the present day; a little wider towards the point than towards the hilt.] Hence the saying, ثَمَرَةُ السَّوْطِ يَتْبَعُهَا ذُبَابُ السَّيْفِ (tropical:) [ The knot, or tail, at the end of the whip is followed by the point of the sword; i. e., whipping (if it effect not the desired correction) is followed by slaughter]. (A.) ― -b9- [Hence,] ذُبَابٌ signifies likewise (assumed tropical:) The حَدّ [or point, or extremity, or edge, ] of anything. (A 'Obeyd, T.) ― -b10- (tropical:) The pointed, or sharp, part of the extremity of the ear (A 'Obeyd, M, K) of a horse (A 'Obeyd, M) and of a man.

ذَبْذَبٌ ذ The penis, (T, * S, M, A, K,) as some say; (M;) as also ↓ ذَبْذَبَةٌ and ↓ ذَبَاذِبُ, which last is not a pl., (K,) though of a pl. measure; (TA;) so called because of the motion thereof, to and fro: (TA:) and the tongue: (M, A:) or ↓ ذَبْذَبَةٌ has this latter meaning: (K:) and ↓ ذَبَاذِبُ signifies the genitals; or, as some say, the testicles; (M;) one of which is termed ↓ ذَبْذَبَةٌ.

1 ذُبَحَ ذ , (S, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. ذَبَحَ , (K,) inf. n. ذَبْحٌ (S, Msb, K, &c.) and ذُبَاحٌ, (K,) He cut, or divided, lengthwise; clave; split; slit; rent, or rent open; ripped, or ripped open. (S, Msb, K.) [Accord. to Fei,] this is the primary signification. (Msb.) [But see what follows.] You say, ذَبَحَ فَأْرَةَ المِسْكَ (assumed tropical:) He (a perfumer, A) ripped open the follicle, or vesicle, of mush, (A, TA,) and took forth the mush that was in it. (TA.) [In the A and TA this is said to be tropical; the authors evidently holding it to be from ذَبَحَ in the sense here next following.] ― -b2- He slaughtered [for food, or sacrificed, ] (L, TA) and animal, (Msb,) or a sheep or goat, (S, TA,) or an ox or a cow, and a sheep or goat, and the like, (Mgh,) [ in the manner prescribed by the law, i. e.,] by cutting the وَدَجَانِ [or two external jugular veins ], (Mgh,) or by cutting the throat, from beneath, at the part next the head: (L, TA:) accord. to the K, i. q. نَحَرَ: but correctly, الذَّبْحُ is in the throat; and النَّحْرُ is in the pit above the breast, between the collar-bones, where camels are stabbed: the latter word is used in relation to camels and bulls and cows; and the former, in relation to other animals: or, not improbably, both may have originally signified the causing the soul to depart by wounding the throat, or the pit above the breast, which is the stabbing-place in the camel; and may then have been applied in peculiar [and different] senses by the lawyers. (MF. [See also ذَكَاةٌ, in art. ذكو.]) Also (assumed tropical:) He slaughtered, or slew, in any manner. (L.) [You say, ذَبَحَ عَنْهُ He slaughtered, or sacrificed, for him, by way of expiation. ] And ذَبَحَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا (assumed tropical:) [ They slaughtered, or slew, one another ]. (S, K.) And أَخَذَهُمْ بَنُو فُلَانٍ بِالذُّبَاحِ (assumed tropical:) The sons of such a one slaughtered, or slew, them. (TA.) And ↓ ذبّح (inf. n. تَذْبِيحٌ, KL) signifies the same as ذَبَحَ, except that it applies [only] to many objects; whereas the latter applies to few and to many: thus it is said in the Kur [ii. 46, and in like manner in xiv. 6], يُذَبِّحُونَ أَبْنَاآءَكُمْ (assumed tropical:) [ They slaughtering, or slaying, your sons ], accord. to the reading commonly obtaining. (Aboo-Is-hák, TA.) ― -b3- Hence, (tropical:) He killed; because الذَّبْحُ [in its proper sense, when the object is an animal,] is one of the quickest modes of killing. (TA.) It is said in a trad., (Mgh, TA,) cautioning against accepting the office of a Kádee, (Mgh,) مَنْ جُعِلَ قَاضِيًا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَكَأَنَّمَا ذُبِحَ بِغَيْرِ سِكِّينٍ (tropical:) [ Whoso is made a Kádee among the people, he is as though he were slaughtered without a knife ]: (Mgh, TA: *) expl. by some as meaning, (tropical:) he is as though he were killed [&c.]. (TA.) ― -b4- [Hence, also, because الذَّبْحُ renders the flesh of an animal allowable, or lawful, as food,] (tropical:) It rendered allowable, or lawful: as salt and the sun and the fishes called نِينَان (pl. of نُونٌ) do wine, by changing its quality, as is said in a trad. (TA.) ― -b5- Also (tropical:) He broached, or pierced, a دَنّ [or wine-jar, making a hole in the mouth, or removing the clay that closed the mouth ], so as to draw forth the contents.

(A, TA.) ― -b7- And, said of thirst, (tropical:) It affected him severely, or distressed him. (A, TA.) ― -b8- ذَبَحَتِ اللِّحْيَةُ فُلَانًا (tropical:) The beard flowed down beneath the chin of such a one so that the anterior portion of the part beneath his lower jaw was apparent: in which case, the man is said to be بِلِحْيَتِهِ ↓ مَذْبُوحٌ. (K, TA.)

2 ذَبَّحَ see 1. -A2- تَذْبِيحٌ is [said to be] syn. with تَذْبِيحٌ, (K, TA,) in prayer: accord. to Hr, ذبّح رَأْسَهُ signifies He lowered his head, in inclining his body in prayer; like دبّح: and accord. to Lth, ذبّح signifies he lowered his head, in inclining his body in prayer, so that it became lower than his back: but Az says that this is a mistake, and that the correct word is دبّح, with the unpointed د. (TA.)

6 تذابحوا ذ (assumed tropical:) They slaughtered, or slew, one another. (S, MA, K.) One says, التَّمَادُحُ التَّذَابُحُ (tropical:) [ Mutual praising is mutual slaughtering ]. (S, A.)

8 اِذَّبَحَ ذ He took, or prepared, for himself a slaughtered [or sacrificed ] animal. (S, K.)

ذِبْحٌ ذ An animal prepared for slaughter [or sacrifice; i. e. an intended victim ]: (T, A, Msb, TA:) [see also ذَبِيحٌ, which occurs in this sense in a trad. as applied to a human being:] or an animal that is slaughtered [or sacrificed ]; (S, Mgh, K, TA;) and so ↓ ذَبِيحَةٌ; (Mgh, Msb;) or this signifies a slaughtered [or sacrificed ] sheep or goat; (TA;) and is [nominally] fem. of ذَبِيحٌ, but the ة is affixed only because the quality of a subst. is predominant in it: (S:) or the ذَبِيحٌ is added to denote that the word is applied to a sheep, or goat, [ to be slaughtered or sacrificed, ] not yet slaughtered [or sacrificed ]; and when the act has been executed upon it, it is [said to be] ذَبِيحٌ: (M, voce رَمِيَّةٌ:) ذِبْحٌ is applied to an animal that is slaughtered either as a sacrifice on the occasion of the pilgrimage or otherwise; and is like طِحْنٌ in the sense of مَطْحُونٌ, and عِطْفٌ in the sense of مَعْطُوفٌ, &c.: (TA:) the pl. of ↓ ذَبِيحَةٌ is ذَبَائِحُ. (Mgh, Msb.) It is said in the Kur [xxxvii. 107], وَفَدَيْنَاهُ بِدِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ [ And we ransomed him with a great victim ].
