Muḍāriʿ صَبُغَ and صَبَغَ — the former not in the copy of the K used by SM — and صَبِغَ; maṣdar صَبْغٌ, صِبَغٌ, and صِبَغَةٌ.

[Of the last of these, صِبْغَةٌ (see it), also said to be a maṣdar, is perhaps a contraction; or, as the Ksh 2:132 says, it means a mode, or manner, of صَبْغ.]

He dyed it, or coloured it: said of a garment or piece of cloth, and of white or hoary hair and the like.

[It is said that] the primary meaning of الصَّبْغُ in the language of the Arabs is the altering of a thing; and this phrase comes from that.

Also said as فِى المَآءِ.

the she-camel dipped her lips in the water—صَبَغَتِ النَّاقَةُ مَشَافِرَهَا فِى المَآءِ

Also said as بِالمَآءِ.

1.1.2figurative · مجاز — inferredhe introduced his child into the Christian communion—صَبَغَ وَلَدَهُ فِى النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ

The Christians use the term صَبْغٌ for the dipping, or immersing, of their children in water, that is, baptizing them.

It is said to be done by dipping, or immersing, him in the water of baptism. (as above) and صِبْغَةٌ.

he introduced his child into the Jewish communion—صَبَغَ وَلَدَهُ فِى اليَهُودِيَّةِ

[Probably by baptism combined with circumcision; but see صِبْغَةٌ, whose explanation seems to indicate that circumcision alone is meant in this case.]

1.1.4figurative · مجاز — inferredthey altered him in his estimation—صَبَغُوهُ فِى عَيْنِهِ

They also informed him that he had become altered from the state he was in.

Also صَبَغُونِى عِنْدَكَ, with the same meaning.

This is said to come from the saying of the Arabs, صَبَغْتُ الرَّجُلَ بِعَيْنِى and بِيَدِى, I pointed at the man with my eye and with my hand.

But Az says that this is a mistake: when the Arabs mean this they say صَبَعْتُ, with the unpointed ع.

Core sense — religion, the religious law; baptism; a dyegenerated

See صِبْغٌ, first sentence.

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredthe religion of God—صِبْغَةَ ٱللّٰهِ

It also means religion, the same as دِين and مِلَّة, and the religious law, the same as شَرِيعَة; and anything by which one advances himself in the favour of God.

In the Qur'ān 2:132. The same as فِطْرَةَ ٱللّٰهِ or دِينَ ٱللّٰهِ, which is the meaning of فِطْرَةَ ٱللّٰهِ: the religion of God, with an adaptation to which mankind are created; because its effect appears in the one who has it like the dye in a garment, or because it mingles in the heart like the dye in a garment.

It is said to be from the Christians' صَبْغ [or صَبْغَة, i.e. baptism] of their children in a sort of water that they have.

صبغة is here in the accusative case as an object, for the meaning is “follow the religion of God,” or “we will follow the religion of God”; or it means what God has prescribed to Mohammad, that is, circumcision.

Or صبغة is here a maṣdar (Ksh) signifying a mode, or manner, of صَبْغ [i.e. of baptism] (Ksh), relating to the baptism of the Christians (Ksh), and confirming the saying آمَنَّا [in verse 130], put in the accusative case as such (Ksh) by reason of a verb understood, the meaning being صَبَغَنَا ٱللّٰهُ صِبْغَتَهُ [God has baptized us with his baptism]; [so that صِبْغَةَ ٱللّٰهِ means the baptism of God, and may here be rendered: we have received the baptism of God].

The Muslims are hereby commanded to say to the Christians, “Say, God has baptized us with the faith, with a baptism not like ours, and purified us with a purifying not like ours”; or they are commanded to say of themselves, “God has baptized us with the faith, as a baptism, and we have not been baptized with your baptism.” (Ksh.)

And [hence] a liar; one who colours and alters information, or discourse.

El-Khattábee says the meaning is that those who practise the two crafts these words relate to make many promises about returning the goods and often break them, so they are said to be of the most lying of men; not that every one of them is a liar. He adds that it has been said to mean the moulding and colouring of speech with falsehood.

Related as a saying of the Prophet; also مِنْ أَكْذَبِ النَّاسِ الخ. It may mean the most lying of men, or of the most lying of men, are the dyers and the goldsmiths; or those who colour, and those who transform, information, or discourse.

A dyer (O, L, K) of garments. (O, K.) And [hence,] A liar: (K:) one who colours and alters information, or discourse.

1figurative · مجاز — inferreda sheep or goat, or a ewe, white at the tip of the tail, the rest of it black—صَبْغَآءُ

A horse white in the forelock, the whole of it; or white in the extremities of his tail; or white in the extremities of the ear.

When the whiteness is in his tail he is termed أَشْعَل; or, according to AO, the word also means white in the whole of the tail, including its extremities.

Also a bird white in the tail; or, according to the book entitled “Ghareeb el-Hamám” by El-Hasan Ibn-'Abd-Allah El-Isbahánee El-Kátib, white in the whole of the head — but the keepers of pigeons use it in the former sense.

This is the feminine form; the animal is a شَاة.

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferred

Also a species of weak birds.

1.2figurative · مجاز

Also, applied to a man: one who dirties his clothes with his excrement when he is beaten and when he is frightened; mentioned by Z.

1.3figurative · مجاز — inferreda certain tree, or plant, having a white fruit, growing in sands—صَبْغَآءُ

According to Aboo-Nasr: a certain tree, or plant, having a white fruit.

And, as some say, a bunch of herbage whose upper portions, when it comes up, are green on the side next the sun and white on the side next the shade.

A شَجَرَة like the ثُمَام [which is applied to several species of panic grass].

[But this seems to have been taken from three different explanations, which follow here.]

According to Aboo-Ziyád: a tree, or plant, that grows in the sands, resembling the ضَعَة [which is applied to a species of the ثُمَام], one of the places where the gazelles stay in the hot season, digging lurking-places for themselves at its roots.

According to another, one of the Arabs of the desert: it is like the ثُمَام, but the ضَعَة is larger in the leaves and of a brighter green.

2the greatest of torrents—أَصْبَغ

So Ibn-'Abbád.

[In this sense, though used as a substantive, it seems, as in its other senses, to be imperfectly declinable, being originally an adjective; if it is not originally an adjective, it might, according to some authorities, be perfectly declinable.]
