muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarخُبُورٌ خَبْرٌ خَبَرٌ خُبْرٌ

Core sense — he knew it, he had knowledge of it; he tried, tested, or proved itgenerated

1.1he knew, he had knowledge [of a thing; generally with respect to its internal, or real, state]—بِشَىْءٍ

maṣdar خُبُورٌ, اختبر, and تخبّر.

1.2he knew it—خَبَرَهُ

.

he knew it—خَبِرَهُ

maṣdar خَبَرٌ, اختبِرهُ, and تخبّرهُ.

The same as عَلِمَهُ, generally meaning with respect to a thing's internal, or real, state, like خَبُرَ بِهِ; see خُبْرٌ, its simple noun, as distinguished from its maṣdar.

how did you come to know this thing?—مِنْ أَيْنَ خَبَرْتَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ

Also خَبِرْتَ, as in another copy of the S and in the A, where it is expressly said to be with kesr.

1.2.1he tried him, or it; he tested, proved, or assayed him, or it—خَبَرَهُ

maṣdar خُبْرٌ and خِبْرَةٌ, or the second of these is a simple noun.

he tried, tested, or proved him, or it—اختبرهُ
I will assuredly try, prove, or test your state, and so know what you know—لَأَخْبُرَنَّ خَبَرَكَ

This is the more common form in this sense.

In some good lexicons خُبْرَكَ, but this seems to be a mistake suggested by the explanation, which is not literal. The phrase is the same as لَأَعْلَمَنَّ عِلْمَكَ, which properly means I will assuredly know your knowledge, or what you know; but here, as the way the phrase is mentioned in the S shows, it means the trying of your state.

I found the people to be persons of whom it is said: try them and you will hate them—وَجَدْتُ النَّاسَ اُخْبُرْ تَقْلِهِمْ

A saying of Abu-d-Dardà, also read تَقْلِهِ: that is, there is not one of them but his conduct is hated when it is tried, or tested; or, when you try them, you will hate them. The imperative form is used, but the meaning is that of a khabar.

[وَجَدْتُ is a verb of the kind called أَفْعَالُ القُلُوبِ, which govern two objective complements; therefore اُخْبُرْ تَقْلِهِمْ and اُخْبُرْ تَقْلِهِ stand for مَقْلِيِّينَ عِنْدَ الخِبْرَةِ and مَقْلِيًّا عند الخبرة.]

1.3he furrowed, or ploughed, the land for sowing—خَبَرَ الأَرْضَ

[And, as appears from a passage in the L, خبّرها.]

1.4he put grease in the food, he made the food greasy—خَبَرَ الطَّعَامَ

.

1.5said of a place: it abounded with lote-trees—خَبِرَ

That is, it was, or became, what is termed خَبْرَآء, or it abounded with سِدْر [or lote-trees].

1.5.1the land, or ground, abounded with soft soil—خَبِرَتِ الأَرْضُ

.

It abounded with خَبَار, which apparently means soft soil: see form 3.

1.6figurative · مجازsaid of a camel: she abounded with milk—خبرت

Probably خَبُرَتْ, like غَزُرَتْ and the like.

According to Lh. See خَبْرٌ.

maṣdarمَخَابَرَةٌ

Core sense — he contracted with him to cultivate land for a share of its producegenerated

3.1he made a contract with him to till and sow land for a share of its produce—خابرهُ

which means the same as مُزَارَعَةٌ: the making of a contract with another to cultivate land for a share of its produce — for some part of the produce, or for a third, a quarter, a half, or some other determined share; or the tilling of the ground for half or the like.

It also means the same as مُؤَاكَرَةٌ; and خِبْرٌ is synonymous with مُخَابَرَةٌ. It is a forbidden practice.

It is from خَبِيرٌ, meaning “a tiller, or cultivator, of land”; or from خَبَرَ, “he furrowed, or ploughed, land for sowing”, from which خَبِيرٌ also comes; or from خَبِرَتِ الأَرْضُ, “the land abounded with خَبَار”; or from [the fortress of] خَيْبَر, because the Prophet left it in the possession of its inhabitants for half of its revenue, and so it was said, خَابَرَهُمْ.

Core sense — information, news, tidings; a tradition; the khabar in grammargenerated

Originally a maṣdar of خَبِرَهُ: see خُبْرٌ.

1.1

Information; a piece of information; a notification; intelligence; an announcement; news; tidings; an account; a narrative; a story. The same as نَبَأٌ, which comes to a person from someone of whom he asks it.

Or خَبَرٌ and نَبَأٌ are not synonymous: Er-Rāghib and others hold that the latter relates to a thing of great importance.

According to the leading authorities in lexicology and in the science of conventional language, the former means properly, and in its common use, what is related from another or others; writers on the Arabic language add that it may be true or false; or, what is related from another or others and talked about.

Plural أَخْبَارٌ; plural of the plural أَخَابِيرُ.

1.2

The relaters of traditions use it in the same sense as حَدِيثٌ [that is, a tradition; a narrative relating or describing a saying or action of Mohammad].

Or that term is applied to what comes from the Prophet, خَبَرٌ to what comes from someone other than the Prophet, or from him or another, and أَثَرٌ to what comes from a Companion of the Prophet, though it may also be applied to a saying of the Prophet.

1.3

Behold! Moses said to his family: "I perceive a fire; soon will I bring you from there some information, or I will bring you a burning brand to light our fuel, that ye may warm yourselves.
