maṣdarإِبَآءٌ أَبَّىmuḍāriʿيَأْبَى يَفْعَلُ

Core sense — he refused; he refrained, held back; he disliked itgenerated

1.1he refused assent to the thing, or affair; he did not choose it, and rejected itأَبَى الأَمْرَ

which is irregular, since the verb has no faucial letter as its second or third radical.

IJ mentions يَأْبِى as sometimes said, which agrees with analogy.

Also يِئْبَى, which is doubly irregular: first because the past tense is of the measure فَعَلَ, and this pronunciation of the ى of the muḍāriʿ is [regularly allowable only] in a verb of the measure فَعِلَ; and secondly because it occurs only in a muḍāriʿ like يِيْجَلُ, that is, of a verb whose first radical is و or ى.

And يِئْبِى, according to IB, [who cites as an example a verse ending with the phrase حَتَّى تِئْبِيَهْ].

Maṣdar إِبَآءٌ and إِبَآءَ ةٌ, or إِبَاةٌ, or إِبَايَةٌ.

He refused; or he refrained, abstained, or held back, of his own free will; synonym اِمْتَنَعَ. So when used intransitively; it is also used transitively.

he disliked the thing, was displeased with it, or hated itأَبَي الشَّىْ ءَ

Fr says that no verb has fet-h to its middle radical in the past tense and the future [or muḍāriʿ] unless its second or third radical is a faucial letter, except أَبَى; AA adds رَكَنَ, but one says رَكَنَ, with يَرْكُنُ for its future, and رَكِنَ, with يَرْكَنُ for its future, so that AA's instance is a mixture of two dialectal variants; Th adds قَلَى, غَسَا, and شَجَا; and Mbr adds جَبَا; but most of the Arabs say يَقْلِى, يَغْسُو, يَشْجُو, and يَجْبِى.

may you refuse, or dislike, to do a thing that would get you cursedأَبَيْتَ اللَّعْنَ
[He refused, or did not submit, to be harmed, or injured]أَبَى أَنْ يُضَامَ

[Other authors mention some further instances; but these are verbs whose muḍāriʿ forms rarely have fet-h, or are cases of a mixture of two dialectal variants.]

A greeting addressed to kings in the time of ignorance. It carries the sense of a prayer: may God make you one of those who dislike being cursed. Hence it occurs parenthetically.

[Sometimes لَا is inserted after أَنْ, and is either redundant or strengthens the meaning of the verb, as with أَنَ لَا or أَلَّا after مَنَعَ.]

but God will not consent, or choose, [save to complete, or perfect, his light]وَيَأْبَى اللّهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يُتِمَّ نَورَهُ
but most people have not consented to, or chosen, anything save denying [its truth, or disbelieving it]فَأَبَي أَكْثَرُ النَاسَ إِلَّا كُفُورًا

Qur'ān 9:32.

Qur'ān 17:91; this phrase with إِلَّا is allowable because it is rendered by means of a negative.

[He used to refuse, or dislike, flesh-meat]كَانَ يَأْبَى اللَّحْمَ
he used to refuse, or dislike, the eating of flesh-meatأَكْلَ اللَّحْمِ
such a one refused, or disliked, water, or the waterأَبَى فَلَانٌ المَآءِ
he refused, or freely held back from, drinking water, or the waterأَبَى مِنْ شُرْبِ المَآءِ
he refused him his assent, or consent, to the thing, or affairأَبَى عَلَيْهِ الأَمَرَ

تَأَبَّاهُ عَلَيْهِ has the same meaning.

he was unyielding to him; he resisted him, or withstood himأَبَى عَلَيْهِ

Synonym اِمْتَنَعَ. عَلَيْهِ: explained in this way because the object is left out.

he was unyielding to him; he resisted him, or withstood himتَأَبَّى عَلَيْهِ

Qur’ān 9:32 Lane quotes this verse
يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُطْفِـُٔوا۟ نُورَ ٱللَّهِ بِأَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَى ٱللَّهُ إِلَّآ أَن يُتِمَّ نُورَهُۥ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ

Fain would they extinguish Allah's light with their mouths, but Allah will not allow but that His light should be perfected, even though the Unbelievers may detest (it).Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.2I left, or gave up, the food, and the milk, without being satisfiedأَبِيْتُ الطَّعَامَ

Also مِنَ الطَّعَامِ, and اللَّبَنِ.

[In a copy of the M the verb is written ابَيْتُ, but I suppose this to be a mistranscription, because of what follows.]

Like رَضِيْتُ, or إِبَّى, with kesr and with the short final alif [that is, like رِضَّى; but perhaps this was thought the right reading only because the verb is likened to رَضِيتُ, of which رِضَّى is the commonest maṣdar].

1.2.1the young camel, or young weaned camel, suffered indigestion from the milk and came to dislike foodأَبِىَ الفَصِيلُ

Also أُبِىَ.

1.3

أَبَيْتُ as a synonym of أَبَوْتُ: see the latter.

(M, K.) Fr says that there is no verb with fet-h to its medial radical letter in the pret. and fut. [or aor.] unless its second or third radical is a faucial letter, except أَبَى : that AA adds رَكَنَ : but that one says رَكَنَ with يَرْكُنُ for its fut., and رَكِنَ with يَرْكَنُ for its fut.: (T:) so that the instance mentioned by AA is one of an intermixture of two dial. vars.: (TA:) Th adds قَلَى and غَسَا and شَجَا ; and Mbr adds جَبَا : but most of the Arabs say يَقْلِى and يَغْسُو and يَشْجُو and يَجْبِى . (T.) [Some other instances are mentioned by other authors; but these are verbs of which the aors. are rarely with fet-h, or are instances of the intermixture of two dial. vars.] أَبَيْتَ اللَّعْنَ is a greeting which was addressed to kings in the time of ignorance; meaning Mayest thou refuse, or dislike, (ISk, * S, * M, * Har p. 491,) to do a thing that would occasion thy being cursed! (ISk, S, M;) or, to do that for which thou wouldst deserve the being cursed! for it implies the meaning of a prayer; i. e., may God make thee to be of those who dislike the being cursed! and hence it occurs parenthetically. (Har ubi suprà.) You say also, أَبَى أَنْ يُضَامَ [He refused, or did not submit, to be harmed, or injured]. (T.) [And sometimes لَا is inserted after أَنْ , and is either redundant, or corroborative of the meaning of the verb, as in the case of أَنَ لَا or أَلَّا after مَنَعَ .] It is said in the Kur ix. 32, وَيَأْبَى اللّهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يُتِمَّ نَورَهُ , meaning But God will not consent or choose [save to complete, or perfect, his light]. (Bd.) And in the same xvii. 91, فَأَبَي أَكْثَرُ النَاسَ إِلَّا كُفُورًا , i. e. [But the greater number of men have not consented to, or chosen, aught] save denying [its truth, or disbelieving it]; this phrase with إِلَّا being allowable because it is rendered by means of a negative. (Bd.) You also say, كَانَ يَأْبَى اللَّحْمَ [He used to refuse, or dislike, flesh-meat], (K,) or أَكْلَ اللَّحْمِ [the eating of flesh-meat]. (Mgh.) And أَبَى فَلَانٌ المَآءِ [Such a one refused, or disliked, water, or the water]: (S:) or أَبَى مِنْ شُرْبِ المَآءِ [he refused, or voluntarily refrained from, the drinking of water, or the water]. (AAF, M.) And أَبَى عَلَيْهِ الأَمَرَ , (Mgh, and Mtr. [author of the Mgh] in Har p. 483,) and تَأَبَّاهُ عَلَيْهِ , both signify He refused him his assent, or consent, to the thing, or affair. (Mtr ubi suprà, in Har.) Hence, (Mtr ubi suprà,) أَبَى عَلَيْهِ , (Mgh, and Mtr ubi suprà,) and تَأَبَّى عَلَيْهِ , (T, S, and Mtr ubi suprà,) He was incompliant, or unyielding, to him; he resisted him, withstood him, or repugned him; syn. اِمْتَنَعَ (T, S, Mgh, and Mtr ubi suprà) عَلَيْهِ : (T:) thus explained because the objective complement ( الأَمْرَ ) is suppressed. (Mtr ubi suprà.) أَبِيْتُ الطَّعَامَ , (K,) or مِنَ الطَّعَامِ , and اللَّبَنِ , (M, TA, [in a copy of the former of which the verb is written ابَيْتُ , but this I suppose to be a mistranscription, on account of what here follows,]) like رَضِيْتُ , (K,) inf. n. أَبَّى , (M, and so in some copies of the K,) or إِبَّى , (so in some copies of the K,) with kesr, and with the short final alif, (TA, [i.e. like رِضَّى , but perhaps this may have been supposed to be the right reading only because the verb is likened to رَضِيتُ , of which رِضَّى is the most common inf. n.,]) I left, or relinquished, the food, (M, K,) and the milk, (M, TA,) without being satiated, or satisfied. (M, K.) أَبِىَ الفَصِيلُ , and أُبِىَ , inf. n. أَبَّى , The young camel, or young weaned camel, suffered indigestion from the milk, and became affected with a dislike of food. (M, K.) أَبَيْتُ as syn. with أَبَوْتُ : see the latter.

(S, M.) One says, فُلَانٌ بَحْرٌ لَا بُؤْبِى , (ISk, S, K, * [in the CK, erroneously, لا يُؤْبى ,]) i. e., لَا يَجْعَلُكَ تَأْبَاهُ [Such a one is like a sea, or great river, that will not make thee to refuse it, or dislike it, &c.]; (K;) i. e., that will not fail, or come to an end, (ISk, S, K,) by reason of its abundance. (ISk, S.) In like manner one says, of any water, مَآءٌ لَا يُؤْبِى [Water that will not fail, or come to an end]. (TA.) And عِنْدَنَا مَآءٌ مَا يُؤْبِى With us, or at our abode, is water that does not become scanty, or little in quantity. (Lh, T, M.) And آبَى المَآءُ The water decreased, or became deficient.
