muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُ·ـِيَفْعِلُmaṣdarنَصْبٌ نَصَبٌ إِنْصَابٌ

Core sense — he set up, erected, or raised a thing; he was fatigued, weariedgenerated

1.1

He set up, or erected, a thing; he raised, or reared, it.

maṣdar نَصْبٌ and نصّب.

1.1.1

He set up a stone as a sign, or mark.

1.1.2he raised his head—نَصَبَ رَأْسَهُ

1.1.3he (a goat) had erect ears—نَصِبَ

1.1.4I set such a one up as an obstacle, or as a butt, for such a thing—نَصَبْتُ فُلاَنًا لِكَذَا

Like the butt of archers; see the article عرض.

1.1.5figurative · مجاز[Such a one was set up, or appointed, to keep the town or district flourishing]—نُصِبَ فُلَانٌ لِعِمَارَةِ البَلَدِ

With respect to building, cultivation, population, and the like.

1.1.6figurative · مجاز — inferredhe sang, or chanted, a kind of song peculiar to the Arabs—نَصَبَ

maṣdar نَصْبٌ or نَصَبَ نَصْبَ العَرَبِ.

Of the kind termed حُدَاء [by which camels are urged on], or a kind of song like it, but finer and more delicate.

the kind of singing, or chanting, described above—نَصْبٌ

Or a kind of حُدَاء resembling singing; or a kind of modulation; or a kind of song of the Arabs, or of the Arabs of the desert; or poetry such as is commonly recited, well regulated and set to an air. So called because in singing it the voice is raised.

1.1.7he wrote, or pronounced, the final letter with fetḥah—نَصَبَ الحَرْفَ

(not نَصُبَ).

That is, with نَصْب, which in the final inflection of a word corresponds to فَتْح in the non-inflection: he wrote it, or pronounced it, with نَصَبَ or نَصَبَ. So called because the sound of a word whose final letter is so pronounced rises to the highest cavity of the mouth. A conventional term of grammar.

he made the word have fetḥah as its vowel of inflection—نَصَبَ الكَلِمَةَ

That is, with نَصْب, making its vowel of inflection نَصَبَ, نَصَبَ, and the like, according to the rules of grammar.

1.1.8he made war upon him—نَصَبَ لَه الحَرْبَ

. Synonymous with وَضَعَ.

1.1.9

Of anything that is raised, and with which one goes to meet or encounter a thing, one says نُصِبَ; and of the doer, نَصَبَ.

1.1.10figurative · مجازhe acted with hostility, or enmity, towards him—نَصَبَ لَهُ

. See also form 3.

1.1.11figurative · مجازI gave him counsel from which he should not deviate—نَصَبْتُ لَهُ رَأْيًا

1.1.12he put a thing down—نَصَبَ

. Synonymous with وَضَعَ.

So the verb carries two opposite meanings.

1.1.13

[He set, or put, absolutely: often used in this sense.]

1.1.14it (disease) pained him, caused him pain—نَصَبَهُ

Muḍāriʿ نَصِبَ and انصبه.

1.1.15figurative · مجاز — inferredhe strove, or exerted himself, unusually in his pace—نَصَبَ السَّيْرَ

Or نَصَبَ means he pursued his journey with diligence, or energy; or he travelled on all the day at a gentle pace; or he journeyed on all the night.

En-Nadr says: النَّصْبُ is the first pace; then الدَّبَبُ [but see وَسَجَ], then العَنَقُ, then التَّزَيُّدُ, then العَسْجُ, then الرَّتْكُ, then الوَخْدُ, then الهَمْلَجَةُ.

1.2he was fatigued, tired, or wearied—نَصِبَ

1.2.1he suffered difficulty, trouble, distress, or affliction—نَصِبَ

1.2.2he strove, laboured, or toiled—نَصِبَ

1.2.3and when you have finished your prescribed prayers, tire yourself in supplication—فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنْصَبْ

Qur'ān 94:7; so Katádeh explains it.

Or: when you have finished the obligatory prayers, tire yourself in performing the voluntary ones. See نَاصِبٌ.

See نَصَبَ, of which this is the maṣdar, throughout.

1.1a sign, or mark, set up to show the way; a standard set up—نَصْبٌ

The same is said of نَصَبَ, نُصُبٌ, and نَصِيبَةٌ. Synonymous with عَلَمٌ مَنْصُوبٌ, that is, set up [as a sign] to a people.

Or نُصُبٌ is the plural of نَصِيبَةٌ, as سُفُنٌ is of سَفِينَةٌ.

a pole, or mast, set up to show the way—نُصْبَةٌ

Synonymous with سَارِيَةٌ.

signs, marks, or stones set up to show the way—أَنَاصِيبُ

تَنَاصِيبُ likewise; both are plurals with no singulars. Synonymous with أَعْلَامٌ and صُوًى: stones set up on the tops of isolated small mountains, by which travellers are to be directed.

a sign, or mark, set up to show the way in a desert—يَنْصُوبٌ

1.2a goal, or limit—نَصْبٌ

Synonymous with غَايَةٌ. Some give it this meaning in the verse of the Qur'ān referred to above, but the meaning "a sign" is more correct.

When the verse is curtailed, the term نصب does not apply, even though the rhyme is perfect. This is according to an explanation received from the Arabs, and is not one of Kh's terms.

Derived from الاِنْتِصَابُ as meaning standing erect, being tall, making oneself tall by stretching the neck; and therefore not applied to a curtailed verse.

Core sense — something set up and worshipped instead of God; stones for sacrificegenerated

See نَصْبٌ.

1.1something set up and worshipped instead of, or in preference to, the true God—نُصُبٌ

Also نُصْبٌ, sometimes written نُصُبٌ, though نُصُبٌ seems the more common of the two words; and نَصْبٌ.

Or anything that is so worshipped; or a stone that is set up and so worshipped.

The plural of نُصُبٌ is أَنْصَابٌ; or نُصُبٌ is a plural of نَصْبٌ, as سُقُفٌ is of سَقْفٌ; or it is a plural whose singular is نِصَابٌ; and it may itself be a singular, whose plural is أَنْصَابٌ.

This last word is by some held to be synonymous with أَصْنَامٌ, but others deny it, because اصنام are figured and sculptured or painted, while انصاب are of an opposite description. [See a verse cited in the article مور.]

1.2certain stones which were set up around the Kaabeh—الأَنْصَابُ

Over them it was customary for the name of some deity to be pronounced in the killing of animals, and upon them victims were slain in sacrifice to another, or others, than the true God.

Plural of نُصُبٌ, as أَعْنَاقٌ is of عُنُقٌ; or of نُصْبق, as أَقْفَالٌ is of قُفْلٌ.

1.3an idol; a stone which the pagan Arabs set up to slay animals before it—نُصُبٌ

As it occurs in Qur'ān 5:4. The stone became red with the blood. Or it is the plural of نِصَابٌ, meaning idols.

Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah; that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety. This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to transgression, Allah is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
