muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarصُحْبَةٌ صَحْبٌ

Core sense — he kept company with him, he became his companion; he guarded himgenerated

1.1

maṣdar صُحْبَةٌ, صَحَابَةٌ, and صِحَابَةٌ.

He associated with him, he kept company with him; he was, or became, his companion, comrade, friend, or fellow-traveller.

صاحبهُ has the same meaning. [See this latter verb below.]

1.1.1figurative · مجازmay God guard you, keep you, protect youصَحِبَكَ ٱللّٰهُ

The maṣdar of the first is صِحَابَةٌ (said to be with kesr), or صَحَابَةٌ, and, as what follows shows, صُحْبَةٌ also.

may God be your guardian, your keeperصَاحَبَكَ
may God make the guarding of you to be goodأَحْسَنَ ٱللّٰهُ صَحَابَتَكَ

صِحَابَتَكَ is used in the same way.

he guarded, kept, or protected such a oneاصحب فُلَانًا

اصطحبهُ means the same; and also: he defended such a one, synonymous with مَنَعَهُ.

O God, guard us with your guarding in our journey, and bring us back safe to our countryاَللّٰهُمَّ أَصْحِبْنَا بِصُحْبَةٍ وَأَقْلِبْنَا بِذِمَّةٍ
nor shall they be defended from usوَلَا هُمْ مِنَّا يُصْحَبُونَ

Occurring in a tradition.

Qur'ān 21:44, said of the unbelievers; so explained by Zj, who adds: and preserved in safety. According to Katádeh: nor shall they be attended by good from us. Or, as some say, it is from the phrase صَحِبَكَ ٱللّٰهُ, with the meaning explained above.

Nounصَاحِبٌ1 sense

Core sense — a companion, an associate, a friend; an owner, a possessor, a mastergenerated

1figurative · مجازyou are the female companions, or the mistresses, of Josephأَنْتُنَّ صَوَاحِبُ يُوسُفَ

A companion, an associate, a comrade, a fellow, or a friend; a fellow-traveller: [an accomplice: an accompanier, or attendant, as applied to a thing:] and a lord, or master; a possessor, an owner, an occupant, or a proprietor, of anything.

It is not transitive like the verb, so one may not say زَيْدٌ صَاحِبٌ عَمْرًا; that is, it is not used as an ism fāʿil, but as a noun, like وَالِدٌ.

The plural, or the term applied to a plural number, is صَحْبٌ, a plural like رَكْبٌ of رَاكِبٌ, or rather an ism jamʿ; and أَصْحَابٌ, the most common of all, a plural like أَشْهَادٌ of شَاهِدٌ, or a plural of صَحْبٌ like أَفْرَاخٌ of فَرْخٌ; and أَصَاحِيبُ, plural of أَصْحَابٌ; and صُحْبَانٌ, a plural like شُبَّانٌ of شَابٌّ; and صِحَابٌ, a plural like جِيَاعٌ of جَائِعٌ; and صِحَابَةٌ, in which the ة may be regarded, in accordance with analogy, as an affix to the plural صِحَابٌ marking the feminine gender; and صَحَابَةٌ, which is more common than صِحَابَةٌ, but the only instance of فَعَالَةٌ as the plural measure of a word of the measure فَاعِلٌ, whether originally a maṣdar or not, but rather an ism jamʿ, though written like the maṣdar [said to be its original]; and صُحْبَةٌ, a plural like فُرْهَةٌ of فَارِهٌ, or rather an ism jamʿ.

The feminine is صَاحِبَةٌ, and its plural is صَوَاحِبُ and صَوَاحِبَاتٌ, the latter mentioned by AAF on the authority of Abu-l-Hasan.

From a tradition of ʿÁïsheh; meaning enticers to lewdness. Some relate it as صَوَاحِبَاتُ يُوسُفَ.

The diminutive of صَاحِبٌ is صُوَيْحِبٌ [and that of صَاحِبَهٌ is صُوَيْحِبَةٌ].

O my companionيَاصَاحِ

It stands for يَاصَاحِبِى, and is the only allowable instance of such shortening of a prefixed noun reported as heard from the Arabs.
