غبن

, (S, MA, Msb, K,) aor. غَبِنَ , (Msb, K,) inf. n. غَبْنٌ (S, MA, Msb, K, KL) and غَبَنٌ , or the former is [the inf. n. used in this case, i. e.] in selling [and the like], and the latter is in judgment, or opinion, (K, agreeably with a positive statement in the S,) He cheated, deceived, overreached, or defrauded, him, (S, MA, K, KL, TA,) in selling; (S, MA, K, TA;) he endamaged him, or made him to suffer loss or damage or detriment, (Msb, KL, TA,) in selling, (KL, TA,) &c., (KL,) or in the price, or otherwise: (Msb:) [or] he overcame him in selling and buying. (Msb.) And غُبِنَ He was cheated, or deceived [&c. in a purchase]: (S, K, TA:) and انغبن [in like manner signifies] he became [cheated or endamaged or] overcome in selling and buying. (Msb.) And it is said that غَبَنَ فِى البَيْعِ , inf. n. غَبْنٌ , signifies He was unmindful, or inadvertent, [or perhaps غَبَنَ is here a mistranscription for غُبِنَ , signifying thus, and therefore meaning he was made to suffer loss,] in selling or in buying. (TA.) And one says also, غُبِنَ الرَّجُلُ أَشَدَّ الغَبَنَانِ [The man was cheated or deceived &c. with the utmost degree of cheating &c.]. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) غَبْنٌ يَسِيرٌ [A petty overreaching or endamaging] is one of which the rate is such as has been estimated [as allowable by custom] by one estimator, not by every one: and غَبْنٌ فَاحِشٌ [An exorbitant overreaching or endamaging] is one of which the rate is such as has not been estimated [as allowable by custom] by any one. (Dict. of Technical Terms used in the Sciences of the Musalmans.) [ الغُبْنُ وَالغَبَنُ mentioned by Freytag as occurring in the Fákihet el-Khulafà, and expl. by him as meaning “ Fraus omnimoda, ” should, I doubt not, be الغَبْنُ وَالغَبَنُ , the two inf. ns. mentioned in the first sentence above.] غَبَنَهُ , aor. غَبِنَ , inf. n. غَبْنٌ , signifies also He passed by him (i. e. a man) inclining, or leaning, [or bending down, so as as to elude his observation, i. e.] so that he [the latter] did not see him, and was not cognizant of him. (TA.) [And it is said in the TA that غَيَنُوا النَّاسَ means None but they obtained it: whence it appears that فِيهِ or the like has been omitted after النَّاسَ : with this addition, the phrase may be rendered, they overreached, or prevented, the other people in respect of it, by obtaining it themselves.] هٰذَا يَغْبِنُ عَقْلَكَ , said to a man whom another had cheated ( غَبَنَ ) in a sale, means This [man] attributes defect, or imperfection, to thy intellect. (TA.) قَدْ غَبَنُوا خَبَرَهَا , and غَبِنُوا , aor. of the former verb غَبُنَ , and of the latter غَبَنَ , i. e. لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا عِلْمَهَا [meaning They have not know her case or state or condition, or her qualities], (ISh, K, ast; TA,) is a phrase relating to a she-camel, of which it is said that she is what one would desire a she-camel to be as a beast for riding and in generousness of race, but she is مَغْبُونَةٌ , [i. e.] one of which the qualities are not known to be as above mentioned. (ISh, TA.) غَبَنْتَ رَأْيَكَ [if not a mistranscription for غَبِنْتَ (see غَبِنَ رَأْيَهُ in what follows)] means Thou hast lost, and forgotten, thy judgment, or opinion. (TA.) غَبِنَ الشَّئَْ and فِى الشَّئْ , aor. غَبَنَ , inf. n. غَبْنٌ and غَبَنٌ , signify He forgot the thing: or he was unmindful, neglectful, or heedless, of it; (K, TA;) and ignorant of it: (TA:) or he made a mistake in respect of it; (K, TA;) as in the saying, غَبِنَ كَذَا مِنْ حَقِّهِ عِنْدَ فُلَانٍ [he made a mistake in respect of such a thing, of his right, or due, to be required at the hand of such a one]. (TA.) غَبِنَ رَأْيَهُ , inf. n. غَبَنٌ (S, Msb, K) and غَبَانَةٌ , (S, * K,) means He was, or became, deficient in his judgment, or opinion: (S:) or he was, or became, weak [therein]: (K:) or his intelligence, or sagacity, and his sharpness, or acuteness, of mind, went away: (Msb:) the parsing of this phrase has been [fully] expl. voce سَفِهَ [q. v.]. (S.) غَبَنَ الثَّوْبَ , (S, Mgh, Msb, TA,) inf. n. غَبْنٌ , (K,) from مَغْبِنٌ [q. v.], (Msb,) He folded, or doubled, the garment, (T, Mgh, Msb, K, * TA,) it being [too] long. (T, TA,) and then sewed it; (Mgh, Msb;) like خَبَنَهُ [q. v.] (S, Mgh) and كَبَنَهُ . (Mgh.) And غَبَنَ الدَّلْوَ He folded, or doubled, [the edge of] the leathern bucket, to shorten it. (TA: but only the inf. n. of the verb thus used is there mentioned.) And غَبَنَ الشَّئْ He hid, or concealed, the thing in the مَغْبِن [or armpit or groin or the like]; (TA;) as also اغتبنهُ . (K, TA.) غَبَنَ الطَّعَامَ is like خَبَنَهُ [i. e. He concealed, kept, or stored, wheat, or food, for a time of dearth, or adversity.] (S.)

signifies Mutual غَبْن [i. e. cheating or endamaging or overcoming in selling and buying: and مُغَابَنَةٌ signifies the same; or mutual endeavoring to cheat &c: see 3 in art زبن ]. (S, MA, K, KL, TA.) Hence, يَوْمُ التَّغَابُنِ [in the Kur lxiv. 9], an appellation of The day of resurrection; because the people of Paradise will then overreach ( تَغْبِنُ ) the people of Hell, (S, K, TA,) by the state of enjoyment in which the former will become and the punishment which the latter will experience; or, as El-Hasan says, because the former will attribute defect, or imperfection, to the intellects of the latter by reason of the preferring infidelity to faith. (TA.) And تغابن له [i. e. لَهُ , but this, I think, is probably a mistranscription for بِهِ ,] signifies تَقَاعَدَ [i. e. تقاعد بِهِ , meaning He did not pay him his due,] حَتَّى غُبِنَ [so that he was cheated or endamaged or overcome]. (TA.)
