muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarقُبْحٌ قَبْحٌ
Core sense — he was, or became, bad, foul, or ugly; God removed him far from goodgenerated
1.1he, or it, was, or became, bad, evil, foul, unseemly, unsightly, ugly, or hideous—قَبُحَ
[or this, according to the S, seems to be a simple noun,] and also قَبْحٌ, قَبَاحَةٌ, قُبُوحَةٌ, قُبُوحٌ and قُبَاحٌ.
Said of a form, of an action, and of anything; the opposite of حَسُنَ.
said of a man: he was bad, evil, or foul—قَبُحَ وَشَقُحَ
The second verb appears to be used as an imitative sequent.
[He did, or said, what was bad or evil]—جَآءَ بِالقَبَاحَةِ وَالشَّقَاحَةِ
so in the K, in this article—شقح
be bad or evil, if you wish to become so—اُقْبُحْ إِنْ كُنْتَ قَابِحًا
he is not becoming bad, or will not become bad, beyond the degree he has already reached—مَا هُوَ بِقَابِحٍ قَوْقَ مَا قَبُحَ
on this sense One says the same in similar cases.
1.2do not say that the face is unseemly, or ugly—لَا تَقْبَحُوا الوَجْهَ
This occurs in a tradition. The word used is قَبِيح, i.e. unseemly, unsightly, ugly, or hideous; the face is not to be called so because God formed it.
Or the meaning is: do not say قَبَحَ ٱللّٰهُ وَجْهَ فُلَانٍ [explained in what follows].
1.2.1God removed him, or may God remove him, far from good, or from all that is good—قَبَحَهُ ٱللّٰهُ
In the CK قَبَّحَهُ.
maṣdar قَبْحٌ and قُبُوحٌ.
God removed him far from good, with intensive force—قَبَّحَهُ ٱللّٰهُ
may removal far from good befall him—قَبْحًا لَهُ
Also قُبْحًا لَهُ وَشُقْحًا and قَبْحًا لَهُ وَشَقْحًا, in which شقحا is [said to be] an imitative sequent; but see the article شقح.
foulness, unseemliness, unsightliness, ugliness, or hideousness—قُبْحًا
The removal is like that of the dog and the pig; or God drove him away, or may God drive him away, like a dog; or God made him, or may God make him, foul, unseemly, ugly, or hideous in form. See the ism mafʿūl.
A phrase with a word left out: a verb and its agent are understood, i.e., with these supplied, (may God decree) removal far from good to him, or (cause) removal far from good (to cleave) to him; meaning may such removal befall him.
With damm.
1.2.2I said to him: may God remove you far from good—قَبَحْتُ لَهُ وَجْهَهُ
Written thus, without teshdeed. The words said are قَبَحَ ٱللّٰهُ وَجْهَكَ, where وَجْهَكَ here stands for نَفْسَكَ, the phrase being from القَبْحُ, which means the removing far [from good]. So according to AA.
See an example in a verse cited in the article سبح, form 2.
1.3he broke a pus-filled pustule on his face so that the matter would come out—قَبَحَ
Or: he squeezed a pus-filled pustule to press out its contents before it was ripe.
Said also of an egg, or of anything: he broke it.
IAar gives this form; according to the CK it is قبّح, and so in one of two copies of the A, but the first is right, as the form of the muḍāriʿ in an example shows.

, (S, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. قَبُحَ , (Msb, K,) inf. n. قُبْحٌ , (Msb, K,) [or this, accord. to the S, seems to be a simple subst.,] and قَبْحٌ (K) and قَبَاحَةٌ (S, K) and قُبُوحَةٌ and قُبُوحٌ and قُبَاحٌ , (K,) He, or it, (a form, and an action, L, and anything, T,) was, or became, bad, evil, abominable, foul, unseemly, unsightly, ugly, or hideous; contr. of حَسُنَ .

(K in art. شقح .) And اُقْبُحْ إِنْ كُنْتَ قَابِحًا Be thou bad or evil &c., if thou be desirous of becoming so: and مَا هُوَ بِقَابِحٍ قَوْقَ مَا قَبُحَ He is not becoming bad &c., or will not become bad &c., above the degree in which he has become so: and in like manner one says in similar cases. (Lh, L.) لَا تَقْبَحُوا الوَجْهَ , occurring in a trad., means Say not ye that the face is قَبِيح [i. e. unseemly, unsightly, ugly, or hideous]; because God formed it: or the meaning is, say not ye قَبَحَ ٱللّٰهُ وَجْهَ فُلَانٍ [expl. in what follows]. (L.) And قَبَحَهُ ٱللّٰهُ , (S, A, Msb, K, TA, &c., [in the CK قَبَّحَهُ ,]) aor. قَبَحَ , (Msb,) inf. n. قَبْحٌ and قُبُوحٌ , (AZ, L, TA,) God removed him, or may God remove him, (S, A, Msb, K, &c.,) far, (A, TA,) from good, or prosperity, (S, Msb, K,) or from all that is good; (L, TA;) [or from success, or the attainment of that which he deserves or seeks; (see the pass. part. n.;)] like as one does the dog and the pig: (AZ, L, TA:) [or God drove him away, or may God drive him away, like a dog: or God rendered him, or may God render him, foul, unseemly, unsightly, ugly, or hideous, in form: (see, again, the pass. part. n.:)] and قَبَّحَهُ ٱللّٰهُ has a similar, but intensive, signification. (Msb.) One says, قَبْحًا لَهُ [an elliptical expression, a verb and its agent being understood, i. e., with these supplied, (May God decree) removal far from good, &c., to him; or (cause) removal &c. (to cleave) to him; meaning may removal &c. betide him]; (S;) and قُبْحًا (S, A) also, (S,) with damm; (A;) [i. e. foulness, unseemliness, unsightliness, ugliness, or hideousness;] and قُبْحًا لَهُ وَشُقْحًا ; (L, K, TA;) and قَبْحًا لَهُ وَشَقْحًا ; in which شقحا is [said to be] an imitative sequent. (L, TA: but see art. شقح .) قَبَحْتُ لَهُ وَجْهَهُ , [thus,] without teshdeed, means I said to him, قَبَحَ ٱللّٰهُ وَجْهَكَ [i. e. May God remove thee far from good, &c., for وَجْهَكَ is here put for نَفْسَكَ , the phrase being] from القَبْحُ signifying “ the removing far [from good, &c.]. ” (AA, L. [See an ex. in a verse cited in art. سبح , conj. 2.]) And قَبَحَ (IAar, L, K, TA, [accord. to the CK قبّح , and so in one of two copies of the A, but the former is the right, as is shown by the form of the aor. in an ex. in the TA,]) He broke a purulent pustule (in his face, L,) in order that the matter might come forth: (L, K, TA:) or he squeezed a purulent pustule to express its contents before it was ripe: (A, TA:) and [in like manner] he broke an egg, (K,) or anything.
