Nounغَضَبٌ1 sense

Core sense — angergenerated

1angerالغَضَبُ

A maṣdar of غَضِبَ [q. v.].

It is the opposite of الرِّضَى.

It is variously defined. Some say it is a state of excitement of the blood of the heart for the purpose of revenge.

Some say that pain on account of anything reparable is غَضَب, and for anything irreparable, أَسَف.

Some say that it is a passion which includes all that is evil; and so the Prophet said, to a man who asked him for a precept, لَا تَغْضَبْ.

Some say that الغَضَب is a passion accompanied by an eagerness to obtain revenge, and الغَمّ one accompanied by despair of obtaining it. [See also غَيْظٌ.]

There is a غَضَب that is commended and a غَضَب that is blamed: the former is for the sake of religion and truth, or right; the latter is in a wrong case.

Ibn-'Arafeh: the غَضَب of God is his disapproving of the conduct of one who disobeys Him, and whom He will therefore punish.

Adjectives applied to an angry man: غَضْبَانٌ (in the dialect of Benoo-Asad, as is implied by the feminine in that dialect mentioned below), غَضِبٌ, غَضُوبٌ [which is both masculine and feminine], غُضُبٌّ, غُضُبَّةٌ, غَضُبَّةٌ, and غَضَبَّةٌ; the last, according to MF, is غُضَبَةٌ.

The first seems often to mean simply angry, like غَضِبٌ; but according to SM all these adjectives mean quickly, or soon, angry, as غُضُبَّةٌ is said in the S to mean, on the authority of As.

The feminine of the first word is غَضْبَى, and, in the dialect of Benoo-Asad, غَضْبَانَةٌ, which is seldom used; غَضُوبٌ is also used as a feminine adjective and has an intensive meaning.

Plural of the first word: غِضَابٌ, and also غَضْبَى, غُضَابَى, and غَضَابَى.
