Form 2تَجْبِيهٌ1 sense

Core sense — the parading of an adulterer on an ass with his face towards the tailgenerated

2.1his face is to be blackened with charcoal, he is to be mounted on an ass with his face towards the tail, and he is to be flogged—يُحُمَّمُ وَيُجَبَّهُ ويُجْلَدُ

Mounting a fornicator or adulterer on an ass and turning his face towards the tail.

From the tradition of the Jews about the adulterer.

Or the mounting of two fornicators or adulterers on an ass, turning the backs of their heads towards each other, and parading them about; so according to the Tekmileh.

Or the blackening of the faces of two fornicators or adulterers with charcoal, and the mounting of them on a camel or an ass with their faces turned in opposite directions. (أَنْ يُحَمَّرَ in the K is a mistake for أَنْ يُحُمَّمَ, that is, يُسَوَّدَ.)

By analogy it should mean turning their faces towards each other, since it is from الجَبْتَةُ.

تَجْبِيهٌ also means the bending, lowering, or hanging down of the head towards the ground; the application to one mounted on a beast in the way described may come from this, because the man to whom it is done bends his head down in shame and confusion. Or it may be from جَبَهَهُ, meaning "he did to him a thing disliked, or hated."

The mounting a fornicator, or an adulterer, upon an ass, and turning his face towards the tail; whence the trad. of the Jews respecting the adulterer, يُحُمَّمُ وَيُجَبَّهُ ويُجْلَدُ [He shall have his face blackened with charcoal, and be mounted on an ass with his face towards the tail, and be flogged]: (Mgh:) or the mounting two fornicators, or adulterers, upon an ass, and turning the backs of their heads towards each other, (JK, Mgh,) and parading them round about; thus accord. to the Tekmileh: (Mgh:) or the blackening [with charcoal] the faces of two fornicators, or adulterers, ( أَنْ يُحَمَّرَ in the K being a mistake for أَنْ يُحُمَّمَ , i. e. يُسَوَّدَ , TA,) and mounting them upon a camel or an ass, and turning their faces in contrary directions: accord. to analogy, it should mean turning their faces towards each other; for it is from الجَبْتَةُ : تَجْبِيهٌ also signifies the bending, inclining, lowering, or hanging down, the head towards the ground: and it may be hence; (i. e. it may be hence that it is applied to him who is mounted on a beast in the manner described above; TA;) because he to whom this is done bends down his head in shame and confusion: or it may be from جَبَهَهُ meaning "he did to him a thing disliked, or hated."

So, according to Aboo-Sa'eed, in a tradition in which it is said that there shall be no poor-rate in the case of the جبهة.

1.5figurative · مجاز

A company, or collected number, of men, and of horses.

Or, of horses, the best; and simply horses, a word having no singular or ism waḥda.

2figurative · مجازGod has relieved you from abjectness, and from milk diluted with water, and from blood drawn from a vein of a camel—فَإِنَّ ٱللّٰهَ قَدْ أَرَاحَكُمْ مِنَ الجَبْهَةِ والسَّجَّةِ والبَجَّةِ

Abjectness, or ignominy; and a state of annoyance, or molestation.

ISd thought it to be from جَبَهَهُ, meaning "he encountered him with what he disliked or hated," or "he accused him of it to his face," because doing this makes one feel abjectness, or ignominy.

It is said to have this meaning in a tradition.

The blood drawn from a vein is what the Arabs used to eat.

Or in this tradition الجَبْتَهَةُ is the name of a certain idol that was worshipped in the Time of Ignorance; and السجّة and البجّة were two idols.
