  • طَبَّ Form I He treated medically, therapeutically, or curatively
    , aor. , (O, Msb, K, TA,) agreeably with analogy in the case of a trans. reduplicative verb [like this], (TA,) and , (K, TA,) which is irregular, (TA,) inf. n. طَبٌّ (O, * Msb, K, * TA) [and app. طِبٌّ and طُبٌّ also accord. to the O and K, but, accord. to the Msb, طِبٌّ is the subst. from this verb, and app. طُبٌّ is likewise a simple subst.], He treated medically, therapeutically, or curatively, (O, * Msb, K, *) another person (O, Msb) [or the body, and in like manner the soul: see طِبٌّ, below]. ― -b2- And طَبيْتَ, with kesr, (S, O, K,) and طَبَبْتَ, with fet-h, (O, K,) [third pers. of each طَبَّ, and, accord. to analogy, the aor. of the former is , and of the latter , but from what follows it seems probable that one says also طَبُبْتَ in the same sense, aor. , unless طَبَبْتَ have تَطُتُّ as an irreg. aor.,] Thou wast, or becamest a طَبِيت [or physician], not having been such. (S, O, K.) One says, إِنْ كُنْتَ ذَا طُبٍّ فَطُبَّ لِعَيْنَيْكَ, (S, O, and so in copies of the K,) or لِعَيْنِكَ, (so in other copies of the K,) or لِنَفْسِكَ, (ISk, TA,) and ذا طَبٍّ, and ذا طِبٍّ, (S, K,) and فَطَبَّ, and فَطِبَّ; (K;) [i. e. If thou be a possessor of the art, or science, of physic, be a physician to thine eyes, or thine eye, or thyself;] meaning, begin by rectifying thyself. (ISk, TA. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 902.]) ― -b3- And [hence] طَبَّ signifies also (assumed tropical:) He acted with skill, or expertness: [and in this sense likewise the second pers. is probably طَبِبْتَ and طَبَبْتَ and طَبُبْتَ, of which last the inf. n. is app. طَبَابَةٌ, occurring in one of the phrases here following:] so in the saying, اِصْنَعْهُ صَنْعَةَ مَنْ طَبَّ لِمَنْ حَبَّ i. e. (assumed tropical:) Do thou it in the manner of him who acts with skill, or expertness, for him whom he loves: a prov., relating to the accomplishing an object of want skilfully and well. (El-Ahmar, TA. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 717.]) One says also, اِعْمَلْ فِى هٰذَا عَمَلَ مَنْ طَبَّ لِمَنْ حَبَّ (assumed tropical:) [Do thou, in this, the deed of him who acts with skill, or expertness, for him whom he loves]. (M, Msb, * TA.) And مَنْ حَبَّ طَبَّ, (Meyd,) or مَنْ أَحَبَّ طَبَّ, (K,) (assumed tropical:) He who loves is skilful, or intelligent, and exercises art, or ingenuity, for him whom he loves: (Meyd:) or (assumed tropical:) he who loves executes affairs with deliberateness and gentleness. (K.) [That one says طَبُبْتَ, as well as طَبِبْتَ and طَبَبْتَ, seems to be indicated by the fact that ↓ طَبَابَةٌ, as an inf. n., is thus written, in a copy of the KL in my possession, and expl. as meaning The medical art: Golius, however, appears to have found it written, in a copy of the same work, ↓ طِبَابَةٌ, which is agreeable with analogy as inf. n. of a verb of the measure فَعَلَ significant of an art, and is probably correct: Freytag mentions the pl. طَبَايأِبُ as signifying medical arts, on the authority of the Deewán of the Hudhalees.] ― -b4- طَبَّهُ also signifies (assumed tropical:) He enchanted him, or fascinated him: (O:) and طُبَّ (tropical:) he (a man, S, A) was enchanted, or fascinated. (S, A, O. [See also طِبٌّ, below.]) ― -b5- طَبَّ السِّقَآءَ, aor. , (S, TA,) inf. n. طَبٌّ; (K, TA;) and ↓ طبّبهُ, with teshdeed to denote muchness, (S, TA,) inf. n. تطْبِيبٌ; (K, TA;) He covered the seams of the water-skin, or milk-skin, with a طِبَابَة [q. v.]: (S, K, * TA:) and طَبَّ الخُرَزَ he covered the seams with a طِبَابَة: (TA) [and] المَزَادَة ↓ طَبَّبَتِ she (a girl, or young woman,) put [or sewed] a piece of skin called ↓ طِبَابٌ and ↓ طِبَابَةٌ, upon the place of junction [of each] of the two extremities of the loop-shaped handles of the مزادة [or leathern water-bag]; as though she rectified the مزادة thereby. (A.)
  • طَبَّ3َ Form II inserting a بَنِيقَة
    see the last sentence above, in two places. ― -b2- تَطْبِيبٌ also signifies The inserting a بَنِيقَة [or gore] for the purpose of widening دِيبَاج [or silk brocade]: (K, TA:) or, as in the A, one says of a tailor, طبّبِ الثَّوْبَ, meaning he added, in the garment, a بَنِيقَة [or gore], in order that it might become [more] wide. (TA.) ― -b3- Also The hanging a سِقَآء [or milk-skin] (S, K, TA) to a pole (عَمُود, S, this is the right word, not عُود [as in copies of the K], TA) of the tent, (S,) and then agitating it to produce the butter: (S, K, TA:) but Az says, I have not heard تطبيب explained in this sense except on the authority of Lth, and I think that it is تطنيب. (TA.)
  • مُطَابَّةٌ Form III seeking, or labouring, to find the means of accomplishment
    signifies (tropical:) The seeking, or labouring, to find the means of accomplishment [of an affair, like as the physician seeks to find the means of curing a disease]; syn. مُدَاوَرَةٌ. (K, TA.) One says, أَنَا أُطَابُّ هٰذَا الأَمْرَ مُنْذُ حِينٍ كَىْ أَبْلُغَهُ (tropical:) [I have been seeking, or labouring, to find the means of accomplishing this affair, that I might attain to it]. (A, TA.)

  • تطبّب Form V He applied himself to the science of physic
    He applied himself to the science of physic: (TA:) [or he applied himself to the science of physic but did not know it well: (see the part. n., below:)] or he practised physic: and he professed physic. (KL.) ― -b2- And تطبّب لَهُ He inquired of [or consulted] the physicians for him. (TA.)
  • استطبّ لِوَجَعِهِ Form X He asked, or sought, a medical prescription for his pain, or disease

  • طَبْطَبَ It flowed with water so that one heard it to make a sound like
    , (Lth, K, TA,) inf. n. طَبْطَبَةٌ, (Lth, TA,) said of a valley, or water-course, (Lth, K, TA,) It flowed with water so that one heard it to make a sound like طَبْ طَبْ: (Lth, TA:) or it made a sound (K, TA) with the water. (TA.) طَبْطَبَةٌ signifies The sounding of water (IAar, S, K, TA) when in a state of commotion and collision, (IAar, TA,) and of the like, (S, TA,) and of the dashing of a torrent. (K.) And ↓ تَطَبْطَبَ It made a sound, or noise, [like طَبْ طَبْ,] said of water and the like, (S,) and of a woman's breast: (TA:) a poet says, " إِذَا طَحَنَتْ دُرْنِيَّةٌ لِعِيَالِهَا تَطَبْطَبَ ثَدْيَاهَا فَطَارَ طَحِينُهَا " [When a woman of Durnà grinds for her family, her breasts make a sound by their collision, and her flour flies away].

  • طَبٌّ Knowing, or possessing knowledge

(Msb.) ― -b2- And, (S, A, Msb, K,) as such, i. e. an inf. n. used as an epithet, or by original application, but the former is app. the case, and some have mentioned likewise ↓ طبٌّ and ↓ طُبٌّ, (MF, TA,) (tropical:) Knowing, or possessing knowledge, (S, A, Msb, TA,) respecting a thing, or of a thing; (A, Msb, TA;) and so ↓ طَبِيبٌ: (TA:) and (TA) (assumed tropical:) skilful, or expert; (T, K;) as also ↓ طَبِيبٌ: (T, S, K:) and (tropical:) gentle; (Nh, TA;) and so too ↓ طَبِيبٌ.

And القَوْمُ طَبُّونَ, or, as some relate it, ↓ القَوْمُ مَا أَطَبُّونَ, is a prov.: the former means (assumed tropical:) The people, or party, are knowing, or skilful, or expert: and [Meyd says,] I know not any way in which the latter is explainable unless ↓ أَطَبُّ be syn. with طَبٌّ, like أَخْشَنُ and خَشِنٌ, &c., and ما a connective. (Meyd.) To a man who offered to cure the [so-called] seal, or stamp, of the prophetic office between the Prophet's shoulder-blades, asserting himself to be a طَبِيب [or physician], the Prophet replied, ↓ طَبِيبُهَا الَّذِّى خَلَقَهَا, meaning (assumed tropical:) He who has knowledge respecting it is He who created it. (TA.) And El-Marrár El-Fak'asee says, " تَدِينُ لِمَزْرُورٍ إِلَى جَنْبِ حَلْقَةٍ ↓ مِنَ الشِّبْهِ سَوَّاهَا بِرِفْقٍ طَبِيبُهَا " (assumed tropical:) [She obeys a plaited nose-rein attached to the side of a ring of brass, the skilful maker of which has fashioned it with gentleness]: (S, L:) i. e. the she-camel of which he speaks obeys her rein that is tied to her nose-ring of brass.

(A, TA.) And بَعِيرٌ طَبٌّ (tropical:) A camel that is mindful, or careful, as to the place of his foot, (A, K, TA,) where to tread with it: or that does not place his foot save where he sees. (TA.)
