muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُ·ـِيَفْعِلُmaṣdarحَبَطٌ

Core sense — his belly became swollen from overeating; his work came to nothinggenerated

1.1his belly became swollen, or inflated, so that he died—حَبِطَ بَطْنُهُ

.

Said of a beast, according to Az, or of a camel: he ate much, or had pain in his belly from pasture he found unwholesome, or from eating much herbage, so that his belly became swollen and nothing came out of him; he voided neither thin dung nor urine, his belly being bound.

Or, said of a sheep or goat: his belly became swollen from eating the herb called ذُرَق, which is the حَنْدَ قُوق [i. e. the herb lotus, melilot, or bird's-foot-trefoil].

Or, said of a beast: he came upon good pasturage and ate immoderately, so that he became swollen and died.

Speaking of a horse you do not say حَبِطَ الفَرَسُ, but حَبِطَ قُصَيْرَى الفَرَسِ or خَاصِرَتُهُ or مَوْقِفُهُ, because it means that the horse's belly became swollen.

Or, said of a man: his belly became swollen by food and the like. So Mbr, in art. حبطأ.

حَبِطَ is also said of the skin: it became swollen, or inflated. [See also Q. Q. 3; and see حَبَطٌ below.]

1.1.1figurative · مجازhis work, or deed, became null and of no account; it went for nothing; it perished—حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ

Apparently from حَبِطَ said of the belly, or from this verb said of a beast.

also حَبَطَ. Az says that this latter was heard by AZ from an Arab of the desert, but I have not heard it on any other authority.

Maṣdar حَبْطٌ, according to Az; the Msb seems to indicate that it is حَبَطٌ, with the ب sākin, so differing from the maṣdar of حَبِطَ said of the belly; and حُبُوطٌ, which according to AZ is the maṣdar of حَبَطَ, like ضَرَبَ.

For just as he of whom one says حَبِطَ بَطْنُهُ perishes, so does the work of the hypocrite.

his blood (the blood of one slain) went for nothing, unretaliated and uncompensated by a fine—حَبِطَ دَمُهُ

Or it became ineffective of reward; its reward was annulled.

but not حَبَطَ, as is implied in the K; and in this case the maṣdar is حَبَطٌ, with the ب movent.

1.1.2said of the water of a well—حَبِطَ

Same in meaning as أَحْبَطَ.

1.1.3

Said of a wound, according to Ibn-'Abbād: it had scars remaining after having healed., with fetḥ to the ب.

Or it broke open again; synonymous with عَرِبَ [which has the meaning given above on the authority of Ibn-'Abbād as well as what follows it] and نُكِسَ. [See also حَبَطٌ below.]

3:22
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّـٰصِرِينَ

They are those whose works will bear no fruit in this world and in the Hereafter nor will they have anyone to help.

6:88
ذَٰلِكَ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ يَهْدِى بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ ۚ وَلَوْ أَشْرَكُوا۟ لَحَبِطَ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

This is the guidance of Allah: He giveth that guidance to whom He pleaseth, of His worshippers. If they were to join other gods with Him, all that they did would be vain for them.

7:147
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا وَلِقَآءِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ ۚ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

Those who reject Our signs and the meeting in the Hereafter,- vain are their deeds: Can they expect to be rewarded except as they have wrought?

39:65
وَلَقَدْ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ

But it has already been revealed to thee,- as it was to those before thee,- "If thou wert to join (gods with Allah), truly fruitless will be thy work (in life), and thou wilt surely be in the ranks of those who lose (all spiritual good)".

Core sense — he made a work come to nothing; he made the belly swollengenerated

4.1he made him (a beast), or it (the belly), to be in the state called حَبَطٌ—احبطهُ

This seems to be its primary meaning; see below.

4.1.1figurative · مجازhe made his work null and of no account, so that it went for nothing and perished—احبط عَمَلَهُ

Said of God, or of a man: he made the work ineffective of reward; he annulled its reward.

So it is used in the Qur'ān 33:19 and elsewhere.

[If he does a good deed, he makes to follow it that which annuls it; and if he sends forth good words, he sends forth after them that which annuls them]—إِنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا أَتْبَعَهُ مَا يُحْبِطُهُ وَ إِنْ أَرْسَلَ كَلِمًا طَيِّبًا أَرْسَلَ خَلْفَهُ مَا يُحْبِطُهُ

33:19
أَشِحَّةً عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ ٱلْخَوْفُ رَأَيْتَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ تَدُورُ أَعْيُنُهُمْ كَٱلَّذِى يُغْشَىٰ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ ۖ فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ ٱلْخَوْفُ سَلَقُوكُم بِأَلْسِنَةٍ حِدَادٍ أَشِحَّةً عَلَى ٱلْخَيْرِ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا۟ فَأَحْبَطَ ٱللَّهُ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ ۚ وَكَانَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرًا

Covetous over you. Then when fear comes, thou wilt see them looking to thee, their eyes revolving, like (those of) one over whom hovers death: but when the fear is past, they will smite you with sharp tongues, covetous of goods. Such men have no faith, and so Allah has made their deeds of none effect: and that is easy for Allah.

47:9
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَرِهُوا۟ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأَحْبَطَ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ

That is because they hate the Revelation of Allah; so He has made their deeds fruitless.

47:28
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ ٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَآ أَسْخَطَ ٱللَّهَ وَكَرِهُوا۟ رِضْوَٰنَهُۥ فَأَحْبَطَ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ

This because they followed that which called forth the Wrath of Allah, and they hated Allah's good pleasure; so He made their deeds of no effect.

47:32
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَشَآقُّوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلْهُدَىٰ لَن يَضُرُّوا۟ ٱللَّهَ شَيْـًٔا وَسَيُحْبِطُ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ

Those who reject Allah, hinder (men) from the Path of Allah, and resist the Messenger, after Guidance has been clearly shown to them, will not injure Allah in the least, but He will make their deeds of no effect.

With tanwīn; also حَبَنْطَأٌ. The ن and the ا [the latter being written in the former word ى] are added to make the word quasi-coordinate to سَفَرْجَلٌ, the derivation being from حَبَطٌ.

A man short and big-bellied; also حَبَنْطَاةٌ and مُحْبَنْطٍ [see the last of these words below].

Or filled with wrath, or rage, or with repletion of the belly; also حِبَنْطًى and حَبَنْطَاةٌ; and this last also means a woman short, ugly, and big-bellied.

It is also related with ء [i. e. حَبَنْطَأَةٌ, or, as it is written in the L, حَبَنْطَآءَةٌ, but I think this a mistranscription].

When you form the diminutive, you may reject the ن and change the ا [which is the final letter] into ى, so that the diminutive becomes originally حُبَيْطِىٌ, for which, by a well-known rule, you say حُبَيْطٍ, with kesr to the ط and with tanwīn; for the ا is not there to mark the feminine gender, which would require fetḥ on the letter before it, as in حُبَيْلَى and بُشَيْرَى, the diminutives of حُبْلَى and بُشْرَى.

You may also keep the ن and reject the ا, saying حُبَيْنِطٌ; and you may do the same with any noun having two letters added to make it quasi-coordinate.

You may also supply a compensation for the letter rejected in either place, or not: if you supply one in the first case, you say حُبَيْطِىٌّ, with teshdeed to the ى and kesr to the ط; in the second case, you say حُبَيْنِيطٌ.
