1.1.5

[Golius explains سَرَبَ, on the authority of the KL, as meaning “Ingressus fuit in rem, totum subivit implevitve locum;” but this is a mistake, evidently caused by his finding سَرَبَانٌ explained in this sense instead of سَرَيَان, which is the reading in my copy of the KL.]

Core sense — pasturing camels; a way, or road; the bosom, or mindgenerated

1go away, for I will not drive your pasturing camels back—اِذْهَبْ فَلَا أَنْدَهُ سَرْبَكَ

Pasturing مَال, that is, camels; or camels and مَال [here meaning cattle in general] that pasture; or مَال [camels or cattle] pasturing during the day without a herdsman — a maṣdar used as a noun in this sense; and سَارِبٌ [meaning مَالٌ سَارِبٌ] means the same.

According to IAar, any مَاشِيَة [camels and other cattle]; so say IJ and Ibn-Hishám El-Lakhmee. According to Kz, سِرْبٌ also, with kesr, means مَالٌ [synonymous with مَاشِيَةٌ]; and IO says the like.

Plural of the first سُرُوبٌ, and some say أَسْرَابٌ [a plural of paucity].

That is: they shall go, or I will leave them to pasture, where they will; meaning, I have no need of you. In the Time of Ignorance they used to divorce by saying اِذْهَبِى فَلَا أَنْدَهُ سَرْبَكِ.

Also one's way, or course; the way by which one goes. [See also سُرْبَةٌ and مَسْرَبٌ.]

In a tradition; that is, فِى مُتَقَلَّبِهِ and مُتَصَرَّفِهِ.

According to one reading the last words are سِرْبِهِ فِى, meaning: in respect of his wives, or women under covert, and his household, or family; a figurative use, from the سِرْب of gazelles and the like. [See also سِرْبٌ.]

when he is made to be in ample circumstances, not straitened—إِذَا كَان مُخَلَّى السَّرْبِ

3he is of ample bosom, or mind, and judgment, and love—إِنَّهُ لَوَاسِعُ السَّرْبِ

Mbr: also the bosom, or breast; or the mind; synonymous with صَدْرٌ.

Pasturing مَال , (M, A, TA,) i. e. camels: (M, TA:) or camels, and مَال [here meaning cattle in general], that pasture: (S:) or مَال [i. e. camels or cattle] pasturing during the day without a pastor; an inf. n. used as a subst. in this sense; and سَارِبٌ [meaning مَالٌ سَارِبٌ ] signifies the same: (Msb:) or, accord. to IAar, (M,) any مَاشِيَة [i. e. camels and other cattle]; (M, K;) thus say IJ and Ibn-Hishám El-Lakhmee: and accord. to Kz, سِرْبٌ also, [q. v.,] with kesr, signifies مَالٌ [syn. with مَاشِيَةٌ ]; and IO says the like: (TA:) pl. of the former سُرُوبٌ , (M, TA,) and some say أَسْرَابٌ [which is a pl. of pauc.]. (TA.) Hence the saying, اِذْهَبْ فَلَا أَنْدَهُ سَرْبَكَ , i. e. Go thou away, for I will not drive back thy [pasturing] camels; (S, Msb; *) they shall go, (S,) or I will leave them to pasture, (Msb,) where they will; (S, Msb;) meaning, I have no need of thee: (S:) in the Time of Ignorance, they used to divorce by saying thus, (S, M, Msb,) اِذْهَبِى فَلَا أَنْدَهُ سَرْبَكِ .

(T, TA. [See also سُرْبَةٌ , and مَسْرَبٌ .]) One says, خَلِّ سَرْبَهُ Leave thou free, or unobstructed, his way (T, M, Mgh, Msb, TA) by which he goes, (T, TA,) and his course; (M, TA;) and so سِرْبَهُ , with kesr; (M, TA;) accord. to Aboo-' Omar: (TA:) or خَلِّ لَهُ سَرْبَهُ leave thou free, or unobstructed, to him his way.

He who has become secure in his scope, or room, for free action]: or, accord. to one reading, the last words are سِرْبِهِ فِى , meaning, in respect of his wives, or women under covert, and his household, or family; a metaphorical sense, from the سِرْب of gazelles &c. (A, and so in the Fáïk. [See also سِرْبٌ .]) Hence also the saying, إِذَا كَان مُخَلَّى السَّرْبِ , meaning When he is made to be in ample circumstances; not straitened. (Mgh.) And you say وَاسِعُ السَّرْبِ , instead of السِّرْبِ ; meaning Whose way that he pursues is ample. (TA. [But see what follows.]) Also The bosom, or breast; or the mind; syn. صَدْرٌ .

Nounسِرْبٌ8 senses · 3 main

Core sense — a herd, a flock, a company; a way, or road; the heart, or mindgenerated

1

See سَارِبٌ.

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferred

Apparently from this: a قَطِيع, or جَمَاعَة [that is, a herd], of gazelles, of oxen [apparently wild oxen], of [wild] asses, of wild animals in general, [a flock or herd] of sheep or goats, [a flock] of the birds called قَطًا and of birds in general, and [a party, or bevy] of women, and so on; as used by El-ʿAjjáj it is said of men also.

A poet of the Jinn, as they assert, used it figuratively of a سِرْب of the [lizards called] عَظَآء.

It also means a collection of palm-trees; so says AHn, and Abu-l-Hasan thinks this is by way of comparison. In some copies of the K النَّحْل is put by mistake for النَّخْل.

سُرْبَةٌ is like it in its meanings; the K mentions it particularly in the last of the senses above.

On the authority of As, each of these words is applied to a قطيع of the birds called قَطًا, and of gazelles, and of sheep or goats; and the latter of them is applied to a قطيع of women, as being likened to gazelles.

The plural of the former is أَسْرَابٌ, and of the latter سُرُبٌ with two dammehs [in the CK سُرُوبٌ], or سُرْبٌ (so in my manuscript copy of the K, either a contraction of that plural or an ism jamʿ of which سُرْبَةٌ is the ism waḥda), or both.

[See also سُرْبَةٌ below, where the plural is said to be سُرَبٌ.]

1.2

Apparently from this come two phrases mentioned below in this paragraph, as some explain them.

1.3

See also سَرْبٌ, first sentence.

2

It is also synonymous with سَرْبٌ in the sense of a way, or road; and a course: see سَرْبٌ, in two places.

2.1such a one is in an ample, unstraitened state or condition—فُلَانٌ وَاسِعُ السِّرْبِ

Also the same as بَالٌ [apparently synonymous with حَالٌ, that is, state, or condition].

That is, رَخِىُّ البَالِ; or the meaning may be that such a one is easy, or unstraitened, in mind [see also بَالٌ].

Or, as some say: ample of bosom, or mind; slow of anger. [See also وَاسِعُ السَّرْبِ, in two places near the end of the preceding paragraph.]

MF thinks that for بَال we should read مَال, in agreement with an explanation of a phrase in what follows.

2.2he is secure in respect of his heart, or mind; or of himself—هُوَ آمِنٌ فِى سِرْبِهِ

Also the قَلْب [meaning heart, or mind]; and the نَفْس [meaning self].

IDrd rejects this last explanation, and says the meaning is: his family, his مَال [his camels, or cattle, or other property], and his children — as though the phrase آمن فى سربه were used first of the herdsman and the stallion camel, and then extended figuratively to others.

Or the meaning is simply his مَال; or his people, or party; or as explained above under سَرْبٌ; or, according to Kz, his way.

El-Hejeree: the plural is سِرَابٌ.

Core sense — a subterranean excavation, a burrow; a road; flowing watergenerated

1[And it (the fish) took its way into the sea]—فَٱتَّخَذَ سَبِيلَهُ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ سَرَبًا

A subterranean excavation; or the home of a wild animal in, or beneath, the ground, with no passage through it — also called وَكْرٌ; one that has a passage through it is called نَفَقٌ. Also the burrow, or hole, of a wild animal, or of a fox, and likewise [the den] of a lion, of a hyena, and of a wolf; and the place into which a wild animal enters. Plural أَسْرَابٌ.

In the Kur 18:60. Fr says that when the fish was restored to life by the water that came upon it from the fountain [of life], and fell into the sea, its way became congealed and like a سَرَب [a subterranean excavation].

Zj says that سربا may be in the accusative in two ways: either as a second object of the verb, or as a maṣdar [of سَرِبَ]. AHát thinks it here means ذَهَابًا [going away]. According to IAth, سَرَبٌ means a secret, or hidden, place of passage; or, as used by El-Moatarid Edh-Dhafaree, it means simply a road, or way.

It also means a subterranean channel or conduit by which water enters a حَائِط [a garden, or walled garden of palm-trees].

a way, or road, in which people follow one another continuously—طَرِيقٌ سَرَبٌ

1[More deceitful than a midday mirage]—أَخْدَعُ مِنْ سَرَابٍ

The mirage; the same as آلٌ; or the semblance of water, of running water, at midday, clinging to the ground and seeming to lower everything so that it too seems to cling to the ground, having no شَخْص.

The آل, on the other hand, is what appears in the ضُحَى [the early part of the day, when the sun is still low], raising figures seen from a distance and making them quiver. [Several other distinctions between the سراب and the آل are mentioned here in the TA; see under آلٌ.]

سَرَابٌ has no plural.

Declined like قَطَامِ, that is, indeclinable with kesr as its ending; also سَرَابُ, imperfectly declinable, definite as a proper name, without the article ال prefixed to it.

Or the she-camel El-Basoos herself, for El-Basoos was her surname.

Hence the famous proverb أَشْأَمُ مِنْ سَرَابِ [More inauspicious than Sarábi]; she was the cause of a well-known war.

In the TA حَلَلْنَا is put in the place of خَلَعْنَا; in the Ham (p. 347) the verse begins أَرَى كُلَّ قَوْمٍ.

As says this is a proverb, meaning: other men have stayed in one place, not daring to move elsewhere, and have shackled their stallion — that is, confined him, so that he may not go forward and be followed by their other camels — fearing a hostile attack; but we are people of might, wandering about the land and going wherever we will, and we have pulled off our stallion's shackles so that he may go where he will, and wherever he hurries away to herbage brought up by the rain, we follow him.

Or by the فحل he may mean the chief, whom, Abu-l-ʿAlà says, he likens to the stallion camel.
