Or it is the saying of لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللّٰهُ in praising God; or it means, or also means, repeating the voice over and over in reciting [the Qur'ān] and the like.

Esh-Sháfi'ee is said to have held that this تَغْبِير was instituted by the زَنَادِقَة [plural of زِنْدِيقٌ, q. v.], so that they might turn people away from the simple praising of God and from the reciting of the Qur'ān.

2.3he gave his guest غُبْرَان to eat, that is, the dates so called—غبّر ضَيْفَهُ

Core sense — the service-tree, or its fruit; a kind of intoxicating beveragegenerated

1

[Diminutive of غَبْرَآءُ.] See أَغْبَرُ, in two places.

1.1

Also a certain well-known plant [or tree] growing in the plains; [the service-tree, or sorb, or its fruit: so called at the present day, as is also the “inula undulata”.]

And so غَبْرَآءُ, so called because of the colour of its leaves; its fruit, when it appears, becomes intensely red.

Or the former is the tree and the latter is the fruit; or the reverse is the case. The singular and plural are alike. All this says AHn, in his “Book of Plants”.

2avoid the beverage called غبيراء, for it is like the wine commonly known to all people—إِيَّاكُمْ وَٱلغُبَيْرَآءَ فَإِنَّهَا خَمْرُ العَالَمِ

Also a kind of intoxicating beverage made by the Abyssinians from ذُرَة [or millet]; also called سُكُرْكَة.

Or wine [or cider] made from the well-known fruit of the same name [the service-apple].

[See also مِزْرٌ.]

This is said in a tradition; no distinction is to be made between the two drinks with respect to prohibition.

In another tradition it is called غُبَيْرَآءُ السَّكَرِ, to distinguish it from a kind of غبيراء made of dates, or dried dates.

1[a people remaining, etc.]—قَوْمٌ غُبَّرٌ

Remaining, lasting, continuing: this is the sense in which the Arabs use it, or the meaning most common among them. Also tarrying, staying, waiting. Plural غُبَّرٌ; and the plural of غَابِرَةٌ is غَوَابِرُ.

See also غُبْرٌ.

2you pass away tomorrow, but your fame remains for ever—أَنْتَ غَابِرٌ غَدًاوَذِكْرُكَ غَابِرٌ أَبَدًا

Passing, passing away, going away; past; the same as مَاضٍ or ذَاهِبٌ, so according to some of the lexicologists; or so used sometimes, as, for instance, by the poet El-Aashà. So it bears two opposite meanings.

According to Zeyd Ibn-Kethweh, this is said by one who has contended in a dispute with another and overcome him, so as to become master of all that was in his hands.

In all the copies of the K, [probably because of an omission by an early transcriber,] it is explained as meaning he returned disappointed, or unsuccessful; and so تركه على غَبْرَآءِ الظهر.
