Form 1رَابَنِى1 sense
maṣdarرَيْبٌmuḍāriʿيَرِيبُ يَرِيبُنِى

Core sense — it made me doubt; it disquieted my mind; it made me suspect himgenerated

1.1it (a thing) made me doubtرَابَهُ

maṣdar رَيْبٌ and رِيبَةٌ, or the last is a simple noun.

It (a thing) occasioned disquiet, disturbance, or agitation of mind in me. [This is the primary meaning, and it is borne also by أَرَابَنِى — see the verses of Khálid cited below — and from it come the other meanings that follow.]

it caused me to have doubt, or suspicion or evil opinionأَرَابَنِى

Lth says that this second form is bad.

What is termed رِيبَة, that is, doubt, or suspicion or evil opinion, or doubt combined with suspicion or evil opinion.

Accord. to AZ, the former means: he, or his case, made me know that there was on his part what is termed رِيبَة, something occasioning doubt, or suspicion or evil opinion, and made me certain of it; while the latter means: it made me think that there was such a thing in him, without my being certain of it. Az says that these are the right explanations of the two phrases.

he put doubt, or suspicion, into my mindجَعَلَ فِىَّ الرِّيَبَةَ

So Sb and others; أَرَبْتُهُ is explained in a similar way.

he made me think that which occasioned doubt, or suspicionأَوْهَمَنِى الرِّيبَةَ

In the same way ارابهُ is explained.

I made doubt, or suspicion, or the cause of it, reach himرِبْتُهُ

That is, أَوْصَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ الرِّيبَةَ.

he did to him something that occasioned doubt, or suspicionرَابَهُ

That is, أَتَاهُ بِرِيبَةٍ; apparently by some act.

it made me doubtرَابَنِى أَمْرُهُ

Accord. to Lh, the Arabs use this form with and maṣdar رَيْبٌ and رِيبَةٌ. When they speak allusively about the cause of doubt, without naming it, they prefix ا, saying أَرَابَ and أَرَبْتُ; when they name the cause, they drop that letter. Still, it is allowable to say أَرَابَنِى الأَمْرُ, that is, to prefix the ا when the verb is made transitive.

he did what made me doubt and what I disliked, or hatedرَابَنِى

Accord. to As, said of a man when you see in him what makes you doubt and what you dislike, or hate.

I doubtedرِبْتُ

Hudheyl say أَرَابَنِى, or ارابنى أَمْرُهُ — so As, on the authority of 'Eesà Ibn-'Omar — and also اِرْتَبْتُ.

Accord. to IAth, رَابَنِى الشَّكُّ — clearly a mistranscription for رابنى الشَّىْءُ — and ارابنى both mean شَكَّكَنِى وَ أَوْهَمَنِى الرِّيبَةَ بِهِ: the thing made me doubt and made me think that there was something in it occasioning doubt, or suspicion. But when you are certain of it, you say only رَابَنِى, without an initial ا.

the thing, or event, befell meرَابَنِى الأَمْرُ

So Lth. It seems to be said only of something evil.

his affair, or case, brought doubt and fear upon meرَابَنِى أَمْرُهُ

The word used is شَكًّا; in one copy شَرًّا, that is, evil.

What displeases and disquiets her displeases and disquiets meيَرِيبُنِى مَا يَرِيبُهَا
No one shall oppose himself to it and disquiet it, or disturb itلَا يَرِيبُهُ أَحَدٌ بِشَىْءٍ
What disquieted you and made you cut it off?مَا رَابَكَ إِلَى قَطْعِهَا

In a tradition about Fátimeh.

In another tradition, about a gazelle lying curled up asleep.

In another tradition; so Aboo-Moosà thinks the phrase may be read, but see another reading under رَابٌ.

Leave what makes you doubt for what will not make you doubtدَعْ مَا وَ إِنَّ رِيبَةٌ يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَريبُكَ فَإِنَّ الكَذِبَ الصِّدْقَ طُمَأْنِينَةٌ

Also related as يُرِيبُكَ. It is what puts into you الرِّيبَة, a word whose original meaning is disquiet, disturbance, or agitation of mind, and hence suspicion or evil opinion; keep instead to what will not make you doubt, for lying is a thing that occasions disquiet of mind, or doubt or suspicion, while truthfulness occasions tranquillity — the mind is not at rest while it doubts, but becomes tranquil when it is certain.

The Hudhalee, Khálid Ibn-Zuheyr, says: [O my people, what ails me with Aboo-Dhueyb? When I came to him after being away, he would smell my side, or my armpit, and pull my garment, as though I had disquieted his mind with doubt, or suspicion.]

shāhid 1
يَا قَوْمِ مَا لِى وَ أَبَا ذُؤَيْبِكُنْتُ إِذَا أَتَوْتُهُ مِنْ غَيْبِيَشُمُّ عِطْفِى وَ يَجُرُّ ثَوْبِىكَأَنَّنِى أَرَبْتُهُ بِرَيْبِ

The verse is cited in this article and in art. بز, but there with يَبُزُّ in the place of its synonym يَجُرُّ.

اراب is both transitive and intransitive; whoever makes it transitive makes it synonymous with رَابَ, as in Khálid's line above, whose last hemistich is also related as:

shāhid 2
كَأَنَّنِى قَدْ رِبْتُهُ بِرَيْبِ

But اراب, when intransitive, means أَتَى بِرِيبَةٍ, he did an act that occasioned doubt, or suspicion, just as أَلَامَ means أَتَى بِمَا يُلَامُ عَلَيْهِ, he did an act for which he was to be blamed.

Agreeing with this meaning is the verse ascribed to El-Mutalemmis, or to Beshshár Ibn-Burdeh: [Your brother is he who, when you make him doubt, or do to him an act occasioning doubt, or suspicion, says: I have only done what occasions doubt; and when you deal gently with him, he becomes gentle.]

shāhid 3
أَخُوكَ الَّذِى إِنْ رِبْتَهُ قَالَ إِنَّمَاأَرَبْتُ وَ إِنْ لَايَنْتَهُ لَانَ جَانِبُهْ

In another explanation عَاتَبْتَهُ is put in the place of لَايَنْتَهُ.

This is the correct relation of the verse. One who relates it otherwise, saying أَرَبْتَ, holds that إِنْ رِبْتَهُ means: if you force him to have doubt, or suspicion.

The other word is اربت, said to be with damm, but this is clearly a mistranscription for with fet-h: it cannot be with damm to the ا, since أُرِبْتَ gives no suitable meaning, nor with damm to the ت, since the explanation relates to the reading of اربت with fet-h to the ت. It means: you have caused me to think that there was something occasioning doubt, or suspicion, when it was not decidedly necessary.

(T.) It is said in a trad., of Fátimeh, يَرِيبُنِى مَا يَرِيبُهَا , meaning That displeases and disquiets me which displeases and disquiets her. (TA.) And in another, respecting a gazelle lying curled in sleep, لَا يَرِيبُهُ أَحَدٌ بِشَىْءٍ , meaning No one shall oppose himself to it and disquiet it, or disturb it. (TA.) And in another, مَا رَابَكَ إِلَى قَطْعِهَا , i. e. What disquieted thee and constrained thee to cut it off? as Aboo-Moosà thinks the phrase may be read: but see another reading voce رَابٌ . (TA.) And in another, دَعْ مَا وَ إِنَّ رِيبَةٌ يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَريبُكَ فَإِنَّ الكَذِبَ الصِّدْقَ طُمَأْنِينَةٌ , (Mgh, TA, *) or, as some relate it, يُرِيبُكَ , (TA,) i. e. Leave thou that which causeth thee to doubt, (Mgh, TA, *) and occasioneth in thee الرِّيبَة , which originally signifies disquiet, or disturbance, or agitation, of mind, [and hence suspicion &c., and betake thyself to that which will not cause thee to doubt, &c., for verily lying is a thing that occasions disquiet of mind, or doubt, or suspicion &c., and verily veracity is a thing that occasions tranquillity;] because the mind is not at rest when it doubts, but becomes tranquil when it is certain, or sure. (Mgh.) And the Hudhalee, (S, TA,) Khálid Ibn-Zuheyr, (TA,) says, 1 [O my people, what aileth me with Aboo-Dhueyb? I was (such that) when I came to him after absence, or from being absent, he would smell my side, or my armpit, and pull my garment, as though I disquieted his mind with doubt, or suspicion &c.]: (S and TA, in this art. and in art. بز ; but in the latter with يَبُزُّ in the place of its syn. يَجُرُّ :) it is said in the L that اراب is trans. and intrans.; and that he who makes it trans. makes it syn. with رَابَ ; and thus it is in the saying of Khálid cited above; the last hemistich of which is also related thus: 2 but اراب when intrans. signifies أَتَى بِرِيبَةٍ [meaning he did an act that occasioned doubt, or suspicion &c.]; like as أَلَامَ signifies أَتَى بِمَا يُلَامُ عَلَيْهِ [he did an act for which he was to be blamed]: and agreeably with this signification is expl. the verse ascribed to El-Mutalemmis, or to Beshshár Ibn-Burdeh, 3 [Thy brother is he who, if thou make him to doubt, &c., (or if thou do to him an act occasioning doubt, or suspicion &c., as expl. in the Ham p. 363, where عَاتَبْتَهُ is put in the place of لَايَنْتَهُ ,) says, Only I have done what occasions doubt, &c.; and if thou act gently with him, becomes gentle]: thus the verse is correctly related: he who relates it differently, saying أَرَبْتَ , [and thus I find it in two copies of the T,] asserts that إِنْ رِبْتَهُ means if thou make him of necessity to have doubt, or suspicion &c.; and اربت [here said in the TA to be “ with damm, ” but this is evidently a mistranscription for “ with fet-h, ” for it cannot mean with damm to the ا , as أُرِبْتَ does not bear an appropriate signification, nor can it mean with damm to the ت , as the explanation relates to the reading of اربت with fet-h to the ت ,] means thou hast caused [me] to think that there was that which occasioned doubt, or suspicion &c., when it was not decidedly necessary.

Nounرَيْبٌ4 senses · 2 main

Core sense — disquiet of mind; doubt, or suspicion; a thing that occasions doubt; a wantgenerated

1a thing, or an event, or a case, that occasions doubt, or suspicion or evil opinionمَا رَابَكَ مِنْ أَمْرٍ

A maṣdar of form 1, as is رِيبَةٌ, or that word is a simple noun. Its primary meaning, and that of this word too when it is used as a simple noun, is disquiet, disturbance, or agitation of mind.

Hence both words mean doubt, because doubt disquiets, or disturbs, the mind; and opinion, that is, ظَنٌّ; and doubt, or suspicion or evil opinion, that is, تُهَمَةٌ and ظِنَّةٌ; or doubt combined with suspicion or evil opinion.

In this last sense the second of the two words is the more common. Hence lying is termed رِيبَةٌ in the tradition cited above. The plural of that word is رِيَبٌ.
