Seven men, and it may be vocalized, and some denied it, saying: Al-Muharrik is the plural of Sab' (seventh).

وسبع نسوة، وأخذه أخذ سبعة، ويمنع، إما أصلها: سبعة بضم الباء فخفف، أي: لبؤة، وإما اسم رجل مارد، أخذه بعض الملوك، فقطع يديه ورجليه وصلبه، فقيل: لأعذبنك عذاب سبعة.

And seven women, and taking it is like taking seven, and it is forbidden. Either its origin is 'sab'ah' with a damma on the ba', which was lightened, meaning: a lioness, or it is the name of a giant man whom some kings captured, so they cut off his hands and feet and crucified him, and it was said: 'I will torment you with the torment of seven.'

والسبع: ة بين الرقة ورأس عين، وع بين القدس والكرك، لأن به سبع آبار، والموضع الذي يكون إليه المحشر، ومنه الحديث: "من لها يوم السبع".

And Al-Sab': a place between Raqqa and Ras 'Ayn, and a place between Jerusalem and Karak, because it has seven wells, and the place to which the gathering will be. And from it is the hadith: 'Who will take care of it on the Day of Al-Sab?'

أو أراد: من لها عند الفتن حين تترك بلا راع نهبة للسباع؟ فجعل السبع لها راعيا إذ هو منفرد بها.

Or he meant: Who will take care of it during the tribulations when it is left without a shepherd, prey to the predators? So he made Al-Sab' its shepherd as he is alone with it.

وروي بضم الباء، ويقال للأمر المتفاقم: إحدى من سبع.

And it is narrated with a damma on the ba', and for a serious matter it is said: 'One of seven.'

وكيف أخاف الناس والله قابض ... على الناس والسبعين في راحة اليد

والسبع، بضم الباء وفتحها وسكونها: المفترس من الحيوان، ج: أسبع وسباع، وأرض مسبعة، كمرحلة: كثيرته.

And Al-Sab', with a damma, fatha, and sukun on the ba': the predator among animals, plural: asbu' and sibaa', and a mawsze'ah land, like a stage: abundant in it.

فقالت له: والله لئن هممت بي لدعوت أسبعي، فقال: ما أرى في الوادي غيرك، فصاحت ببنيها: يا كلب يا ذئب يا فهد يا دب يا سرحان يا سيد يا ضبع يا نمر، فجاؤوا يتعادون بالسيوف، فقال: ما أرى هذا إلا وادي السباع.

So she said to him: 'By Allah, if you intend harm to me, I will call my predators!' He said: 'I see no one else in the valley but you.' She cried out to her sons: 'O dog, O wolf, O leopard, O bear, O wolf, O lion, O hyena, O tiger!' They came running with swords, and he said: 'I see this as nothing but the Valley of Predators.'

وسبعه تسبيعا: جعله سبعة، وجعله ذا سبعة أركان، و الإناء: غسله سبع مرات، و الله لك: أعطاك أجرك سبع مرات أو سبعة أضعاف، و القرآن: وظف عليه قراءته في كل سبع ليال، و لامرأته: أقام عندها سبع ليال، و دراهمه: كملها سبعين، وهذه مولدة، و القوم: تمت سبع مئة رجل.
