patience, endurance

, aor. , (S, M, A, K,) inf. n. صَبْرٌ, (M, K,) He confined him; held him in custody; detained, retained, restrained, or withheld, him, or it; (S, M, A, K;) عَنْهُ from it. (M, A, K.) [Accord. to a copy of the A, ↓ صبّرهُ signifies the same; but this may be a mistranscription. Hence,] صَبَرْتُ نَفْسِى I restrained, or withheld, myself, or my soul; (S, Mgh;) عَلَى كَذَا [to endure such a thing]. (Mgh.) 'Antarah says, mentioning a battle in which he was engaged, " فَصَبَرْتُ عَارِفَةً لِذٰلِكَ حُرَّةً تَرْسُوا إِذَا نَفْسُ الجَبَانِ تَطَلَّعُ " meaning حَبَسْتُ نَفْسًا صَابِرَةً [i. e. And I restrained thereat a soul patient and ingenuous, that is firm when the soul of the coward yearns: the last word (for تَتَطَلَّعُ) I have here rendered on the supposition that the poet describes the soul of the coward as one that is yearning for home]. (S.) [And hence,] صَبَرَ is also used intransitively: (Msb:) [or as a trans. verb of which the objective complement, namely, نَفْسَهُ, is understood:] you say, صَبَرَ, aor. and inf. n. as above, (S, M, Msb, K,) He was, or became patient, or enduring; contr. of جَزِعَ: (M, K:) or he restrained, or withheld, himself, or his soul, from impatience: (S, Msb:) or he restrained, or withheld, himself, or his soul, from impatience, and his tongue from complaint, and his members from broil: or, accord. to Dhu-n-Noon, he shunned acts of opposition, and was calm in suffering the pangs of afflictions, and made a show of competence in a state of protracted poverty in places where the means of subsistence were found: or, as some say, he endured trial, or affliction, with good manners: or he was contented in trial, or affliction, without show of complaint: or he constrained himself to attempt things that he disliked: or, accord. to 'Amr Ibn-'Othmán, he maintained constancy with God, and received his trials with an unstraitened mind: or, accord. to El-Khowwás, he steadily adhered to the statutes of the Kur-án and the Sunneh: or, as some say, he was content to perish for gaining the approval of him whom he loved: or, accord. to El-Hareeree, he made no difference between a state of ease, comfort, and affluence, and a state of affliction; preserving calmness of mind in both states: (B:) and you also say ↓ اِصْطَبَرَ, (S, M, Msb, K,) and ↓ اِصَّبَرَ, (S, M, K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, اصْبَرَّ,]) changing the ط into ص, but not اِطَّبَرَ, for ص is not to be incorporated into ط; (S;) and likewise ↓ تصبّر; (M, K;) both syn. with صَبَرَ; (M;) or ↓ تصبّر signifies he constrained himself to be patient; (S, TA;) [or he took patience: and ↓ اصطبر, he acquired patience; and he was tried with patience: see صَابِرٌ.] One says, صَبَرَ فُلَانٌ عِنْدَ المُصِيبَةِ Such a one was patient on the occasion of affliction. (S.) And صَبَرْتُ عَلَى مَا أَكْرَهُ [I was patient of, or I endured with patience, or bore with, what I dislike]. (A.) And صَبَرْتُ عَمَّا أُحِبُّ [I endured with patience the withholding of myself, or the being debarred, from what I love, or like; or I was patient of the loss, or want, of what I love, or like]: (A:) and عَنْهُ ↓ تَصَبَّرْتُ [I constrained myself to endure with patience the withholding myself, or the being debarred, from it, or him; or I constrained myself to be patient of the loss, or want, of it, or him]. (L, voce تَجَلَّدَ.) And ↓ أَفْضَلُ الصَّبْرِ التَّصَبُّرُ [The most excellent kind of patience is the constraint of oneself to be patient]: a saying of 'Omar. (IAar.) And بَدَنِى لَا يَصْبِرُ عَلَى البَرْدِ (tropical:) [My body will not be patient of cold, or will not endure patiently cold]. (A.) And صَبْرٌ signifies also The being bold or daring [in enduring, or attempting, a thing]. (TA.) ― -b2- Also He made him, or it, firm, or fast; or bound, or tied, him, or it, firmly, or fast. (TA.) [Hence,] صَبَرَهُ عَلَى القَتْلِ, inf. n. as above, He confined him, namely, a man, and other than man, [with bonds or otherwise,] (K, TA,) alive, (TA,) and shot, or cast, at him until he died: (K, TA:) or he set him up for slaughter: (M:) and you say also, قَتَلَهُ صَبْرًا; (S, M, Msb, K;) and صَبَرَهُ; meaning he confined him (i. e. a man) to die, until he died; and in like manner you say ↓ اصبرهُ; (S;) which latter signifies also he slew him in retaliation. (T in art. بوأ.) And قُتِلَ صَبْرًا He (i. e. any living thing) was confined alive, and then shot at, or cast at, until he was put to death: (S:) or he (any living thing) was bound until he was put to death: (Msb:) or he (a man) was bound hand and foot, or held by another man, until he was beheaded: (Mgh:) or he was slain [deliberately,] not on the field of battle, nor in war or fight, nor by mistake: (A 'Obeyd:) and صُبِرَ he was confined, (A,) or held and confined, (B,) to be put to death. (A, B.) صَبْرُ الرُّوحِ [signifies The confining the living, and shooting, or casting, at him until he dies; as is shown in the TA: but it] occurs in a trad., in which it is forbidden, as meaning the act of gelding, or castrating. (A, TA.) ― -b3- Also, (S, Msb,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (Msb,) He confined him to make him swear, until he swore, or took an oath; as also ↓ اصبرهُ: (S:) or he made him to swear a most energetic oath; (Msb;) as also صَبَرَ يَمِينَهُ, (A, Mgh,) which is a tropical phrase: (A:) and ↓ اصبرهُ, (TA in art. بلت,) or عَلَى يَمِينٍ ↓ اصبرهُ, (TA in the present art.,) he (the judge, or governor,) constrained him to swear, or take an oath. (TA.) And صُبِرَ He was confined, or held in custody, in order that he might be made to swear, or take an oath. (A.) And حَلَفَ صَبْرًا He swore, or took an oath, being confined, or held in custody, (S, M,) by the judge, or governor, (M,) in order that he might be made to do so. (S, M.)

(S, M, Msb, K.) ― -b2- And اُصْبُرْنِى Give thou to me a surety. (S, K.) -A4- صَبَرُوا طَعَامَهُمْ, (so in the CK, [agreeably with an explanation of the pass. part. n. مَصْبُورٌ, q. v.,]) or ↓ صَبَّرُوهُ, (so in the M, and in my MS. copy of the K, [both probably correct,]) They collected their wheat together without measuring or weighing it; made it a صُبْرَة [q. v.] (M, K.)

, (M, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَصْبِيرٌ, (TA,) He urged him, or made him, to be patient, by a promise of reward: or he said to him, Be thou patient: and ↓ صَبَرَهُ he made him to be patient: (Msb:) or the former, he commanded him, or enjoined him, to be patient; as also ↓ اصبرهُ: (M, K:) and the first, he required of him that he should be patient: (Sgh, TA:) and ↓ اصبرهُ, he attributed to him (جَعَلَ لَهُ) patience; (M, K;) as also ↓ اصطبرهُ.

(O.) -A3- [صبّر also signifies He embalmed a dead body with صَبِر, meaning accord. to Freytag myrrh; but for this I know not any authority: he mentions the verb as occurring in this sense in “ Hamak. Waked. ” p. 94, last line. -A4- Also He ballasted a ship: used in this sense in the present day. See صَابُورَةٌ.]

, (A, MA,) inf. n. مُصَابَرَةٌ (A, K) and صِبَارٌ, (K,) [He vied with him in patience, or endurance; as shown in what follows: or] he acted patiently with him: (MA:) صَابِرُوا in the Kur iii. last verse means Vie ye in patience, or endurance: (Ksh, Bd, Jel: *) or in this instance, in the saying اِصْبِرُوا وَصَابِرُوا وَرَابِطُوا, the three verbs are progressive in meaning; the first meaning less than the second; and the second, less than the third: or the meaning is, [be ye patient] with yourselves, and [vie ye in patience] with your hearts in enduring trial with respect to God, and [remain ye steadfast] with your minds in desire for God: or [be ye patient] with respect to God, and [vie ye in patience] with God, and [remain ye steadfast] with God.
