muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarجَنَبٌ جَنَابَةٌ جُنُوبٌ

Core sense — he broke his side; he led him by his side; he put him far awaygenerated

1.1

He broke his side; or he hit, or hurt, his side.

[The muḍāriʿ in this sense is probably جَنُبَ, and the maṣdar, according to the TK, is جَنْبٌ.]

1.1.1leading another horse, riderless, beside the horse one rides in a race—طَوْعُ الجَنَبِ

He led him by his side; said of a horse or the like, and of a captive.

In this sense the muḍāriʿ is جَنُبَ and the maṣdar جَنَبٌ and مَجْنَبٌ.

See جَنَبٌ .جِنَابٌ.

This is forbidden in a tradition, [in which it is said, لَا جَلَبَ وَلَا جَنَبَ], in relation to horse-racing and to the collecting of the poor-rate.

In racing, a man does this when the horse he rides has grown weak, or when he fears he will not win on it, or when he draws near the goal, moving himself to the other horse so as to win.

In relation to the poor-rate it means the collector's alighting in the most remote of the places from which the portion appointed for the poor-rate is to be collected, and then ordering that the camels or the like be led to him; or the owner of the property going off to a distance, or aside, with his property, so that the collector has to go far in search of it.

See more in art. جلب, first paragraph.

1.1.2he put away from him, or removed far from him, the thing, or the evil—اجنبهُ

He put him, or it, at a distance, or sent him away, or removed him far away, alienating or estranging him, as though he put him aside; also جانبهُ. And he pushed, thrust, or drove him, or it, away, aside, or to a distance.

Also جَنَبَهُ الشَّىْءَ, or الشَّرَّ; and جنّبهُ, which is intensive.

And put away from me and my sons our worshipping of idols—وَٱجْنُبْنِى وَبَنِىَّ أَنْ نَعْبُدَ الأَصْنَامَ

In the Qur'ān 14:38; according to one reading, وَأَجْنِبْنِى.

1.1.3

He yearned towards, longed for, or desired, him, or it.

1.2he went aside, out of the way, or far away, with him, or it—جَنَبَ بِهِ

.

Or, like جَنَبَهُ in the sense explained above: he put him, or it, at a distance, or sent him away.

1.2.1he alighted, or settled, as a stranger among the sons of such a one—جَنَبَ فِى بَنِى فُلَانٍ

and, apparently, تجنّب.

Excellent are the people, they, to the neighbour who is a stranger—نِعْمَ القَوْمُ هُمْ لِجَارِ الجَنَابَةِ

See also جُنُبٌ.

Do not refuse me because of being remote in respect of relationship—لَا تَحْرِمَنِّى عَنْ جَنَابَةٍ

See also جَنَابَةٌ, mentioned below as a substantive.

1.2.2the wind became south, or southerly; it blew from that direction—جَنَبَتِ الرِّيحُ

maṣdar جُنُوبٌ and اجنبت.

That is, it became such as is termed جَنُوب.

Or this, or جَنِبَت: the wind changed, or veered, so as to become جَنُوب.

1.2.3figurative · مجاز — inferredhe became disquieted by violent desire to see him, or to meet him—جَنَبَ إِلَيْهِ

And hence; see جَنُوبٌ.

Or إِلَى لِقَائِهِ; and جَنِبَ. The maṣdar is apparently جَنْبٌ, the verb being said in the K to be like نَصَرَ and سَمِعَ.

1.3he (a camel) limped by reason of pain in his side—جَنِبَ

.

Or he had an affection resembling ظَلْع [limping, or halting], but not the same as it.

Or, according to As, his lungs clave to his side from violent thirst; or, according to the Arabs of the desert, as ISk says, he became bent, or contorted, from violent thirst; and he (a camel) had a pain in his side from violent thirst.

The adjective is جَنِبٌ, which Dhu-r-Rummeh applies to an ass.

1.3.1the bucket leaned to one side—جنبت الدَّلْوُ

This happens through the breaking of one or two of the thongs tying it to the cross-bars.

[Apparently جَنِبَت.]

1.4

جَنِبَ and جَنُبَ and جَنَبَ are synonymous with أَجْنَبَ in a sense explained below: see 4.

1.5he became affected by the disease called ذَاتُ الجَنْبِ [pleurisy]—جُنِبَ

He had a complaint of his side.

1.6they were affected by the south, or southerly, wind called جُنُوب—جُنِبُوا

Also, in allusion to the fertilizing effect attributed to that wind: they were affected by it in their cattle.

Core sense — the side of a man; a lateral part, region, or quarter; pleurisygenerated

1I sat by the side of such a one—قَعَدْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِ فُلَانٍ

A word of well-known meaning: the side, or half, or lateral half, of a man and the like, the same as شِقٌّ; also جَانِبٌ and جَنَبَةٌ. Or the part of a man beneath the armpit, extending to the flank; also جَانِبٌ, because it is the side of the person.

Plural جُنُوبٌ, and [a plural of paucity of the same word] أَجْنَابٌ, and [of جَانِبٌ] جَوَانِبُ, and جَنائِبُ, which is irregular [apparently of جَنْبٌ (as لَيَائِلُ is a plural of لَيْلٌ), or of جَنَبَةٌ (as حَوَائِجُ is a plural of حَاجَةٌ, originally حَوَجَةٌ), or of both].

الى جَانِبِ فلان means the same.

He is inflated in the side—إِنَّهُ لَمُنْتَفِخُ الجَوَانِبِ

جوانب is here one of those words used in a singular sense though in a plural form.

he became submissive, manageable, or tractable to him—أَعْطَاهُ الجَنْبَ
one who cleaves to another, keeping by his side—جَارُ الجَنْبِ

Literally, he gave him the side.

This differs from جَارُ الجُنُبِ, see below.

the travelling-companion, the companion in a journey—الصَّاحِبُ بِالجَنْبِ
a well-known disease; the pleurisy—ذَاتُ الجَنْبِ

In the Qur'ān 4:40. Or the one who is near one, or by one's side; or the companion in every good affair; or the husband; or the wife.

الجُنَابُ is synonymous with it, and sometimes الجَنْبُ, as will be seen below. It is called by the first of these three names at the present day.

A severe disease: an inflammatory swelling in the [pleura, or] membrane within the ribs; or an ulcer, or purulent pustule, that forms inside a man's side. It is a severe disease in the side.

According to El-Hejeree it is in either side, and they assert that when it is in the left side the patient dies. According to ISh it is the دُبَيْلَة, an ulcer that penetrates into the belly; or the ulcer that comes out inside the side and discharges internally, from which the sufferer seldom recovers.

One who suffers from it and dies of it, or, as some say, anyone afflicted with a complaint of the side while warring in the cause of God, is reckoned a martyr. Soldiers on campaign are notoriously more subject to it than people in most other circumstances, and apparently for this reason it is called دَآءُ الصَّنَادِيدِ [the disease of the courageous chiefs].

having a complaint of his side from that disease—ذُو الجَنْبِ

Its feminine is ذَاتُ الجُنْبِ; the complaint being the disease mentioned above, or what is termed الدُّبَيْلَة. [See also مَجْنُوبٌ.]

Qur’ān 4:36 approximate — somewhere between 4:28 and 4:43 Lane cites “Kur iv. 40”
Qur’ān 4:36 the verse Lane’s citation points to, and it uses this root
وَٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا۟ بِهِۦ شَيْـًٔا ۖ وَبِٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَـٰنًا وَبِذِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَٱلْيَتَـٰمَىٰ وَٱلْمَسَـٰكِينِ وَٱلْجَارِ ذِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَٱلْجَارِ ٱلْجُنُبِ وَٱلصَّاحِبِ بِٱلْجَنۢبِ وَٱبْنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُكُمْ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُورًا

Serve Allah, and join not any partners with Him; and do good- to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbours who are near, neighbours who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (ye meet), and what your right hands possess: For Allah loveth not the arrogant, the vainglorious;-Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1The people are a side and the prince is a side
shāhid
النَّاسُ جَنْبٌ وَالأَمِيرُ جَنْبُ

A poet says this, as though he reckoned the prince equal to all the people.

It is cited in the S and TA as though it were an example of جنب in the sense next following, but it seems rather to be an example of this word in the sense first explained above.

1.2figurative · مجاز — inferreda side; a lateral, outward, or adjacent part, region, quarter, or tract; a neighbourhood—نَاحِيَةٌ

Also جَانِبٌ and جَنَابٌ and جَنْبَةٌ and جَنَبَةٌ and جَنَابَةٌ.

It is said that the primary meaning of جَنْبٌ is the part of the body mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph, and that its use in the sense of نَاحيَةٌ is metaphorical, as with يَمِينٌ and شِمَالٌ. But نَاحِيَةٌ is given in the Msb as the primary meaning of جَانِبٌ, though according to the K and ISd its primary meaning seems to be the one first mentioned.

They walked, or went on foot, on either side of him—مَشَوْا جَانِبَيْهِ

Also جَنَابَيْهِ and جَنْبَتَيْهِ and جَنَابَتَيْهِ.

They went along journeying on either side of him—مَرُّوا يَسِيرُونَ جَنَابَيْهِ

Also جَنْبَتَيْهِ and جَنَابَتَيْهِ.

We were apart from them on two sides—جَنَا بَيْنِ كُنَّا عَنْهُمْ
We were apart from them on one side—جَنَابًا
They alighted in the tracts beside the valley—نَزَلُوا فِى جَنَابَاتِ الوَادِى
Such a one will not approach our quarter—فُلَانٌ لَا يَطُورُ بِجَنَبَتِنَا

Thus according to AO, with fetḥ to the ن.

IJ, however, says that people commonly say أَنَا فِى ذَرَاكَ وَجَنَبَتِكَ [meaning I am under your protection and in your quarter], but that the correct expression is جَنْبَتِكَ, with the ن sākin.

The heat is on either side of Suheyl [Canopus]—الحَرُّ جَانِبَىْ سُهَيْلٍ
They surrounded him on all his sides—أَحَاطُوا بِهِ مِنْ جَانِبَيْهِ

The Arabs said this of the period next before, and that next after, the auroral rising of Canopus, which rising began, in central Arabia, at the start of the era of the Flight, about the 4th of August, Old Style. This is the greatest heat.

Literally, on his two sides; the surrounding parts are divided into two, but without meaning that any of them remained empty.

From the explanation of the examples cited as evidence by Sb, in art. حول.

1.3This is little in comparison with your love—هٰذَا قَلِيلٌ جَنْبِ مَوَدَّتِكَ

A part, or portion, of a thing; the greater, or main, part of it; most of it; or a great part of it. [And جَانِبٌ, which is thus used in the L in art. جنح and by many authors.]

Hence, or perhaps from جَنْبٌ in the second of the senses given above, which conveys the idea of juxtaposition and so of comparison.

1.4figurative · مجاز — inferredO my grief for my negligence in respect of what is due to God!—يَا حَسْرَتَا عَلَى مَا فَرَّطْتُ فِى جنْبِ ٱللّٰهِ

In the Qur'ān 39:57; it means فى جَانِبِه.

Fear God in respect of your brother's right, and do not impugn his honour—اِتَّقِ ٱللّٰهَ فِى جَنْبِهِ وَلَا تَقْدَحْ فِى سَاقِهِ

That is, in respect of obedience to God; or in respect of [the means of attaining] nearness to God; or nearness to God in Paradise; or in respect of the way of God, to which He has called me — that is, professing His unity and confessing the prophetic office of Mohammad.

This is a saying of the Arabs. According to the copies of the K it means لَا تَقْتُلْهُ [do not slay him]; or, as in the L and in the author's original draft, لا تَغْتَلْهُ [do not slay him secretly, or when he is off his guard], from الغِيلَةُ, and do not throw him into trouble or trial. Or, according to some, فى جنبه means in detracting from his reputation, or reviling him.

[See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. 1:240.]

A poet cited by IAar. See also جَانِبٌ. The meaning is: in detracting from my reputation, or reviling me; or, according to MF, in my case.

What have you done in the case of the thing that I want?—مَا فَعَلْتَ فِى جَنْبِ حَاجَتِى
O my two friends, refrain, and be mindful of God in respect of my reputation

When ye pass (Congregational) prayers, celebrate Allah's praises, standing, sitting down, or lying down on your sides; but when ye are free from danger, set up Regular Prayers: For such prayers are enjoined on believers at stated times.

On the Day when heat will be produced out of that (wealth) in the fire of Hell, and with it will be branded their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs, their flanks, and their backs.- "This is the (treasure) which ye buried for yourselves: taste ye, then, the (treasures) ye buried!"

32:16

Their limbs do forsake their beds of sleep, the while they call on their Lord, in Fear and Hope: and they spend (in charity) out of the sustenance which We have bestowed on them.

Core sense — a stranger; not a relation; one obliged to perform a total ablutiongenerated

1the neighbour who belongs to another people, not of one's family or lineage—الجَارُ الجُنُبُ

El-Fárábee: this word — sometimes used in the singular form as a plural, and having no feminine form — and جَانِبٌ, and أَجْنَبِىٌّ (which Az, in art. روح, says is seldom or never used by the Arabs, though he mentions it in its own article), and أَجْنَبُ are synonymous, meaning a stranger; also جَنِيبٌ. Or a man who is distant, or remote; or distant, or remote, in respect of relationship (Az and Msb, explaining the third and fourth); or not a relation, as appears from what follows.

جَانِبٌ [as an ism fāʿil] means one alighting, or settling, as a stranger among a tribe.

Plural of the first أَجْنَابٌ, of the second جُنَّابٌ, and of the fourth أَجَانِبُ.

Occurring in the Qur'ān 4:40; also جَارُ الجُنُبِ. He is of another lineage than the one whose neighbour he is; he is not a relation. Or one who is distant, or remote, in an absolute sense. Or the person who is not a relation to another, and who comes to him and asks him for protection, and stays with him; such a one has the title to respect that belongs to him as the other's neighbour, and to his protection, and as relying upon his safeguard and promise.

From the TA in art. جور. This differs from جَارُ الجَنْبِ, see above.

They are the strangers of mankind, or of the people—هُمْ أَجْنَابُ النَّاسِ

In a tradition.

It is for a stranger coming from a journey to give such news—قَالَ لِجَارِيّةٍ هَلْ مِنْ مُغَرِبَةِ خَبَرٍ قَالَتْ عَلَى جَانِبٍ الخَبَرُ

In another tradition: he said to a girl, Is there any news from abroad? and she answered thus.

He is a person not related to me—هُوَ أَجْنَبِىٌّ مِنِّى

The same four words also mean: that will not be led; intractable. Only the last of them is mentioned in this sense in the S.

1.2a man under the obligation of performing a total ablution—جُنُبٌ

An adjective from الجَنَابَةُ; the obligation arising from sexual intercourse and the discharge of semen.

It is used alike as masculine and feminine, singular, dual and plural, being treated as nearly belonging to the class of maṣdars, for a maṣdar used as an adjective must keep the singular masculine form. Or one may use the dual جُنُبَانِ, and sometimes they used the plurals أَجْنَابٌ and جُنُبُونَ, and the feminine plural جُنُبَاتٌ, but not جُنُبَةٌ of a female.

The angels will not enter a house in which is one who habitually neglects the total ablution—لَا تَدْخُلُ المَلَائِكَةُ بِيْتًا فِيهِ جُنُبٌ

In a tradition; the house may be a chamber or a tent, and the person meant is one who usually neglects the total ablution when obliged to perform it for the cause mentioned above.

O ye who believe! Approach not prayers with a mind befogged, until ye can understand all that ye say,- nor in a state of ceremonial impurity (Except when travelling on the road), until after washing your whole body. If ye are ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from offices of nature, or ye have been in contact with women, and ye find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands. For Allah doth blot out sins and forgive again and again.
