muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarأَرَابَةٌ أَرَبٌ

Core sense — he was cunning, intelligent, sagacious; he was in want; his limb dropped offgenerated

1.1

maṣdar أَرَابَةٌ and إِرَبٌ, like صِغَرٌ.

He was, or became, cunning — intelligent with craft and forethought — or simply intelligent, excellent in judgment, sagacious, and knowing in affairs.

In the T it is said that As is related to have given this meaning to أَرِبَ.

[The TA assigns the first maṣdar to it when it means simply intelligence, and the second when it has the wider meaning of cunning.]

1.1.1he became expert, or skilful, in the thing—أَرِبَ بِالشَّىْءِ

Or: he became accustomed to, or practised in, the thing, and became knowing, or skilful in it.

[.]

1.1.2[app. he became familiar with a person or thing]—أَرِبَ

also synonymous with أَنِسَ.

1.1.3he devoted himself, or kept, to the thing—أَرِبَ بِالشَّىْءِ

It also means: he was, or became, niggardly, avaricious, or tenacious, of the thing.

1.1.4he exerted his power and ability in the affair, and understood it—أَرِبَ فِى الأَمْرِ

Or تأرّب means: he exerted his strength, force, or energy, or strained himself; فِي الشَّىْءِ in the thing, and فِى حَاجَتِهِ in his needful affair, or in accomplishing his want.

he exerted his power and ability in the affair, and understood it—تأرّب فِيهِ

1.1.5he had, or obtained, power over him, or it—أَرِبَ عَلَيْهِ

1.2he was, or became, in want, or need—أَرِبَ

[See أَرِبْتَ عَنْ ذِى يَدَيْكَ and the two phrases following it, later in this entry.]

1.2.1he wanted it, was in want of it, and sought or desired it—أَرِبَ إِلَيْهِ

Or بِهِ, with muḍāriʿ and maṣdar as above; said of a thing.

1.2.2fortune was, or became, hard, or adverse—أَرِبَ الدَّهْرُ

As though it wanted something of us, for which it pressed hard.

he was, or became, hard upon him in his demand—أَرِبَ عَلَيْهِ

1.3he struck upon a member, or limb, belonging to him—أَرَبَهُ

[From إِرَبٌ.]

1.3.1his member, or limb, was cut off, or dropped off—أَرِبَ

Generally meaning the arm, or hand. Also: his members, or limbs — generally the members, or fingers, of the arm or hand — dropped off one after another because he was affected by the disease called جُذَام; and, said of a member or limb, it dropped off.

may the members, or fingers, of your hands or arms drop off—أَرِبْتَ عَنْ ذِى يَدَيْكَ

Also مِنْ ذى يديك; the TA says this is found in the T as well, but I have consulted two copies of the T and found only عن. Also فِى ذى يديك, on the authority of IAar as related by Sh, and مِنْ يَدَيْكَ, though MF says that من in this phrase is a mistranscription.

may his members, or limbs, drop off, or be cut off — what is the matter with him?—أَرِبَ مَا لَهُ

Or it means: may what is in your hands depart from you, so that you will be in want. It occurs in a tradition.

Said by Moḥammad when a man came to him and asked him to tell him of some work that would bring him into Paradise. This rendering is according to Kt; according to IAar it means: may he become in want — what is the matter with him?

IAth says it has been related in three ways: first أَرِبَ, an imprecation, used to express wonder; secondly أَرَبٌ مَّا لَهُ, that is حَاجَةٌ لَهُ, مَا being redundant and denoting littleness, the meaning being that he has some little want, or, as some say, a want has brought him — what is the matter with him?; thirdly أَرِبٌ, that is هُوَ أَرِبٌ, meaning he is intelligent, sagacious, or skilful [as is said in the T], and perfect — what is the matter with him? or what is his affair? — the mubtadaʾ being suppressed.

what is the matter with him? may his arm, or hand, be cut off—مَا لَهُ أَرِبَتْ يَدُهُ

Another form of imprecation. Or it means: may he become poor, and want what is in the hands of others.

1.3.2his stomach became disordered, or unsound—أَرِبَتْ مَعِدَتُهُ

[Perhaps from this.]

1.3.3he prostrated himself firmly, or fixedly, upon his [seven] members—أَرِبَ

[These are the members mentioned in the explanations of the word إِرْبٌ.]
