muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُيَعْبُوmaṣdarعَبْءٌ عَبْوٌ

Core sense — he packed up goods; he prepared troops for war; he prepared perfumegenerated

1.1[I packed the thing in the repository]عَبَأْتُ الشَّىْءَ فِى الوِعَآءِ

he packed up goods, or utensils, putting them one on another. The muḍāriʿ here is the same.

Some allow also عَبَّيْتُ, with teshdeed, and ى [which is commonly used in the present day].

[And عَبَوْتُ also] or عَبَأَ, with the muḍāriʿ and the maṣdar as above.

he prepared, set in order, or arranged goods, or utensilsعبّأ

Maṣdar تَعْبِئَةٌ and تَعْبِىْءٌ.

Each of these, or the first, or the last, and also عبّى, with teshdeed, and ى, means: he fitted out with the needed equipment, or prepared and arranged in their places for war, the horsemen, or the army. [Agreeably with the authority of Yoo, for] Yoo used to say تَعْبِيَةُ الجَيْشِ without ء.

I prepared evil, or mischief, for himعَبَأْتُ لَهُ شَرًّا
1.1.1he prepared and mixed perfumeعَبَأَ
he prepared and mixed perfumeعبّأ

The muḍāriʿ and the maṣdar are as above.

Maṣdar تَعْبِئَةٌ, تَعْبِىْءٌ and عبّى.

[And from an explanation of the maṣdar in the KL, it seems that عَبَأَ means He gave off a good, or pleasant, smell, as Golius renders it; but I think this doubtful.]

1.1.2what shall I do with it?مَا أَعْبَأُ بِهِ

Said of an affair.

what will my Lord do with you?مَا يَعْبَأُ بِكُمْ رَبِّى

In the Qur'ān 25, last verse. Mujáhid gives this meaning, but see another explanation of it in what follows.

1.1.3what weight have you in the sight of my Lord?مَا يَعْبَأُ بِكُمْ رَبِّى
I did not reckon him as anything, I did not esteem him at allمَا عَبَأْتُ بِهِ شَيْئًا
I did not care about him, I paid him no regardمَا عَبَأْتُ لَهُ شَيْئًا

It also means: I do not care about him, mind him, or pay him any regard. Aboo-'Adnán: I do not accept anything from him, nor anything of what he says. Aboo-Is-hák [i. e. Zj]: I do not hold him to be of any weight or worth; I do not esteem him.

This is Aboo-Is-hák's explanation of the Qur'ānic phrase mentioned above.

Aboo-'Abd-Er-Rahmán.

Or in the form مَا عَبَأْتُ بِهِ.

God has accepted everything from himقَدْ عَبَأَ ٱللّٰهُ عَنْهُ

Aboo-'Adnán.

1.1.4he thought it, and held it, or took to it, as a tenetعَبَأَ لَهُ
