(IDrd.) -A2- سَبَعَ الغَنَمَ He (a wolf) seized the sheep, or goats, and broke their necks, or killed them, or made them his prey, (S, K, TA,) and ate them. (TA.) ― -b2- سُبِعَتِ الوَحْشِيَّةٌ The female wild animal had her young, or young one, eaten by the سَبُع [or beast, or bird, of prey]. (TA.) ― -b3- سَبَعَهُ He stole it; [as though, like a سَبُع, he made it his prey;] as also ↓ استبعهُ. (AA, K.) ― -b4- He shot him [with an arrow or the like], or hurled at him and struck him [with a lance, or a missile of any kind]; namely, a wolf: or he frightened him; namely, a wolf; (K;) and also, a man.

An Arab of the desert said to a man who had done a good act to him, (TA,) سَبَّعَ ٱللّٰهُ لَكَ May God give thee thy reward, or recompense, seven times, or seven fold. (K, TA.) The Arabs also said, سَبَّعَ ٱللّٰهُ لَكَ أَجْرَهَا May God multiply to thee the reward, or recompense, for it; meaning, for this good act: (Aboo-Sa'eed:) [for] تَسْبِيعٌ is used by them to signify the act of multiplying, though it be more than seven fold. (TA.) And سَبَّعَ ٱللّٰهُ لِفُلَانٍ is used as meaning May God make a thing to be followed by another thing to such a one; in relation to good and to evil; as also تَبَّعَ لَهُ. (TA.)

Hence the saying of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, " كَنَعْتِ ٱلَّتِى قَامَتْ تُسَبِّعُ سُوأْرَهَا " [Like her who has arisen to wash out seven times her remains of beverage in the bottom of a vessel, left by a drinker; that drinker, as is said in a marginal note in my copy of the TA, being her dog]: or, accord. to Es-Sukkaree, the meaning is, to give as alms her سُوأْر [remains of beverage in the bottom of a vessel after one had drunk, or remains of food &c.,], thereby seeking to have her reward, or recompense, multiplied; سُوأْرَهَا being used by the poet for بِسُوأْرِهَا.

(TA.) ― -b8- سبّع دَرَاهِمَهُ He made his dirhems to be seventy complete; but this is post-classical; (K;) and in like manner, دراهمه ↓ سَبْعَنَ, meaning the same, and also post-classical, and not allowable; the proper phrase to express the meaning “ I made it to be seventy ” being كَمَّلْتُهُ سَبْعِينَ. (TA.) ― -b9- سَبَّعَتِ القَوْمُ The people, or company of men, completed the number of seven hundred men: (K, TA:) occurring in a trad, (TA.)

(TK.) ― -b2- The vying with another in the endeavour to surpass him in obscene, or lewd, language, and in frequency of coïtus, and in speaking plainly of such subjects as should only be alluded to, in relation to women: (IAar, K: *) such seems to be its meaning in a trad. in which the doing this is forbidden. (IAar.) ― -b3- (assumed tropical:) Mutual reviling, vilifying, or vituperating; (K, TA;) when each of two men assails the other with foul language, such as displeases him: (TA:) this is said by some to be its meaning in the trad. in which it is forbidden.

(Yaakoob, S, K.) -A3- اسبعهُ i. q. أَطْعَمَهُ السَّبُعَ [which may be rendered He gave him as food the animal of prey, or he gave him as food to the animal of prey; but it seems from what here follows that the former is meant]: (S, K:) in the “ Mufradát, ” [he gave him as food] the flesh of the سَبُع. (TA.) -A4- He gave him, or delivered him, (namely, his son,) to the ظُوأُورَة [which means both nurse and nurses].

سَبْعَنَ: see 2. last sentence but one.

fem. of سَبْعَةٌ, q. v. -A2- See also سَبُعٌ in two places. -A3- السَّبْعُ The place to which mankind shall be congregated (K, TA) on the day of resurrection. (TA.) Hence the trad., (K, TA,) which relates that while a pastor was among his sheep, or goats, the wolf rushed upon him, and took from them a sheep, or goat, and the pastor pursued him until he rescued it from him; whereupon the wolf looked aside towards him, and said to him, (TA,) مَنْ لَهَا يَوْمَ السَّبْعِ, meaning Who will be for it [namely, the sheep, or goat, as aider, or defender,] on the day of resurrection? (K, TA:) thus expl. by I Aar, and mentioned by Sgh and the author of the L: (TA:) but to this is contradictory, or repugnant, يَعْكُرُ, [in the CK erroneously written يَعْكَرُ,]) the saying of the wolf, (K, TA,) after the words mentioned above, (TA,) “ the day when it shall have no pastor but me; ” for the wolf will not be a pastor on the day of resurrection: or the meaning is, who shall be for it on the occasion of trials, when it shall be left to itself, without pastor, a spoil to the animals of prey: the animal of prey being thus made to be a pastor to it: (K, TA:) this is in the way of a trope: and accord. to this explanation, it may be [↓ يَوْمَ السَّبُعِ] with damm to the ب: (TA:) or يَوْمُ السَّبْعِ was a festival of their's in the Time of Ignorance, on which they were diverted from everything by their sport: (AO, K, TA:) and accord. to one relation [of the trad.] it is with damm to the ب. (L, K.)

(S, Msb, K) and ↓ سُبُعٌ, (Mgh, Msb,) of which the former is a contraction, (Msb,) A seventh part; one of seven parts; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) as also ↓ سَبِيعٌ; (S, Msb, K;) the last not heard by Sh on any authority beside that of AZ: (TA:) pl. of the first (Msb) and second (Mgh, Msb) أَسْبَاعٌ. (Mgh, Msb, TA.) Hence, أَسْبَاعٌ القُرْآنِ [The seven sections, or volumes, of the Kur-an,] in which one reads: said to be postclassical. (Mgh.) -A2- See also أُسْبُوعٌ, in three places.

A certain ظِمْء of the أَظْمَآء of camels; (T, S, K;) i. e. their coming to the water on the seventh day [counting the day of the next preceding watering as the first]; (K;) or [in other words, which have virtually the same meaning,] their remaining in their places of pasturing five complete days, and coming to the water on the sixth day, not reckoning the day of the [next preceding] return from the water. (Az, TA.) You say, وَرَدَتْ إِبْلُهُ سِبْعًا His camels came to the water &c. (S, K.) ― -b2- Also The seventh young one, or offspring. (A in art. ثلث.)

(S, Sgh, Msb, K) and ↓ سَبْعٌ, (Sgh, Msb, K,) a dial. var., (Sgh, Msb,) and the form in common use with the vulgar, (Msb,) adopted also by several readers of the Kur in v. 4, (Msb, TA,) and often occurring in the poems of the Arabs, (TA,) and ↓ سَبَعٌ, (Sgh, K,) a form adopted by two readers of the Kur in the place above mentioned, and perhaps a dial. var., (Sgh, TA,) The animal of prey; the rapacious animal; (K;) [whether beast or bird; being sometimes applied to the latter, as, for instance, in the K, voce مِخْلَبٌ; but generally to the former:] or whatsoever has a fang, or canine tooth, with which it makes hostile attacks, and seizes its prey; (Msb;) such as the lion, [to which it is particularly applied by most of the Arabs in the present day,] and also (TA) such as the wolf and the lynx and the leopard, (Msb, TA,) and the like of these, that has a fang, and attacks men and beasts and makes them its prey: (TA:) the fox, however, is not thus called, though having a fang, (Msb, TA,) because he does not attack with it nor take prey, (Msb,) or because he does not attack small beasts, nor seize with his fang any animal; (TA;) and in like manner the hyena (Msb, TA) is not reckoned among the hostile animals thus called, wherefore the Sunneh allows that its flesh may be eaten, and requires that a compensation be made for it [by the sacrifice of a ram] if it be smitten [and killed] in the sacred territory or by a person in the state of ihrám: but as to the jackal, it is a noxious سبع, and its flesh is unlawful, because it is of the same kind as wolves, except that it is smaller in size and weaker in body: thus says Az: but some others say that the سبع is any hostile beast having a مِخْلَب [or tearing claw]: and it is said in the Mufradát to be thus called because of the perfectness of its strength; for السَّبْعُ [seven] is one of the perfect numbers: (TA:) the pl. is سِبَاعٌ, (Sb, S, Msb, K,) i. e., of سَبُعٌ, which has no other pl.; (Sb, Msb;) أَسْبُعٌ is also a pl., (Sgh, Msb, K,) but this is pl. of pauc. of ↓ سَبْعٌ, (Sgh, Msb,) which, not being a contraction [of سَبُعٌ, but a dial. var. thereof], has also for its pls. [of mult.] سُبُوعٌ and سُبُوعَةٌ, like صُقُورٌ and صُقُورَةٌ, pls. of صَقْرٌ. (TA.) See also سَبْعٌ: [and see سَبُعَةٌ.] You say of him who is very injurious, or mischievous, مَا هُوَ إِلَّا سَبُعٌ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ (tropical:) [He is none other than one of the animals of prey]. (TA.) ― -b2- السَّبُعُ is also the name of (assumed tropical:) The constellation [Lupus] behind [i. e. on the east of] Centaurus, containing nineteen stars in the figure. (Kzw.)
