, (Msb, K,) [aor. يَحْبُو,] inf. n. حُبُوٌّ, (K,) He, or it (a thing, Msb, TA), was, or became, or drew, near. (Msb, K.) And hence, (TA,) حَبَوْتُ لِلْخَمْسِينَ I was, or became, or drew, near to fifty [years]; (S, ISd, TA;) [as also حبوت الخَمْسِينَ; for] IAar says that حَبَاهَا and حَبَا لَهَا both have this signification. (TA.) ― -b2- حَبَتِ الأَضْلَاعُ إِلَى الصُّلْبِ The ribs joined to the backbone; (K;) and in like manner, with the same meaning, one says of the entrails: and the ribs were near to the backbone. (TA.) And حَبَتِ الشَّرَاسِيفُ, (K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) i. e. [The extremities of the ribs, projecting over the belly,] were long, so that they were near one another. (K.) And حَبَا المَسِيلُ The water-course, or channel of a torrent, became [contracted,] so that one part thereof was near to another. (K.) -A2- حَبَا, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. يَحْبُو, (Mgh, Msb,) inf. n. حَبْوٌ, said of a child, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) before he stands; (Lth, TA;) as also حَبَى, aor. يَحْبِى, inf. n. حَبْىٌ, which, however, is rare; (Msb;) He crept, or crawled, [or dragged himself along,] upon his posteriors; (Mgh;) or so حبا عَلَى ٱسْتِهِ: (S:) or he went along upon his posteriors, protruding his chest: (K:) or went along on four [or, as we say, on all fours]: in this last sense it is used by the lawyers. (Mgh.) And, said of a man, He went along upon his hands, or arms, and his belly: (K:) or upon his hands, or arms, and his knees: or upon his posteriors: or upon his elbows and knees: (TA:) [or he crept, or crawled: for] you say, مَا جَآءَ إِلَّا حَبْوًا, meaning He came not save creeping, or crawling: and مَانَجَافُلَانٌ إِلَّا حَبْوًا [Such a one escaped not save creeping, or crawling]. (TA.) Also, said of a camel having his fore shank bound up to his arm, He crept, or crawled, along: [or he dragged himself along on the ground:] and, said of a camel, he lay down, and crept, or crawled, [or dragged himself along,] by reason of fatigue: or, as some say, being constrained to ascend a difficult tract of sand, he protruded his chest, and then crept, or crawled. (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] said of an arrow, It glided along the ground, and then hit the butt: (S:) or so حبا إِلَى الغَرَضِ. (Msb.) ― -b3- And حبا المَالُ, (K,) inf. n. حَبْوٌ, (TA,) The cattle clave to the ground, motionless, by reason of emaciation. (K.) ― -b4- And حَبَتِ السَّفِينَةُ, (K,) inf. n. حَبْوٌ, (TA,) The ship ran. (K.) -A3- حَبَا لَهُ It (a thing) presented itself, or its breadth, or width, or its side, to him, or it; syn. اِعْتَرَضَ, (K,) or عَرَضَ; (Mgh;) as do, for instance, waves to a ship; (TA;) and as clouds, like a mountain, before they cover the sky. (S.) And حبا الرَّمْلُ, aor. يَحْبُو, inf. n. حَبْوٌ, The sands rose up, extending sideways (مُعْتَرِضًا): (TA:) or extended widely. (IAar, TA.) -A4- حَبَاهُ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. as above, (TA,) inf. n. حَبْوٌ (TA) and حَبْوَةٌ, (S, TA,) or this is a simple subst, (K,) and the inf. n. is حِبَآءٌ, (Msb,) or this last also is a simple subst., (S, * K,) He gave him (S, Msb, K) a thing (Msb) without any compensation (Msb, K) and without [receiving] any favour, or benefit: or in a general sense. (K. [See also حِبَآءٌ below.]) You say, حَبَاهُ كَذَا and بِكَذَا He (God, or a man,) gave him such a thing without [receiving] any favour, or benefit, and without requital. (Ham pp. 327 and 654.) ― -b2- And also, (K,) aor. as above, inf. n. حِبَآءٌ, (TA,) He denied him, refused him, or refused to give him; (K, TA;) on the authority of IAar only. (TA.) Thus the verb bears two contr. significations. (K.) ― -b3- حبا مَا حَوْلَهُ He defended, protected, or guarded, what was around him; (As, S, K;) as also ↓ حبّاهُ, inf. n. تَحْبِيَةٌ. (S, K.) J cites as an ex. of the former verb, from a poem of Ibn-Ahmar, the phrase لَمْ يَحْبُهَا فَحْلٌ [as though meaning A stallion did not defend them]; referring to she-camels: but accord. to AHn, it means did not regard them; being occupied with himself. (TA.) ― -b4- You say also, فُلَانٌ يَحْبُو قَصَاهُمْ and يَحُوطُ قَصَاهُمْ [Such a one fights in their defence; or defends them in a distant quarter: but generally meant ironically: see 1 in art. حوط]: both signify the same. (Abu-l-'Abbás, TA.)

, (Msb, K,) inf. n. مُحَابَاةٌ (Msb, K, KL) and حِبَآءٌ, (K,) He vied, or contended, with him in giving. (KL.) ― -b2- He aided him, or assisted him: he treated him, or behaved towards him, with partiality; was partial towards him: and inclined towards him: (K:) he treated him in an easy and a gentle manner. (Msb.) ― -b3- حاباهُ فِى البَيْعِ, (S, MA,) inf. n. مُحَابَاةٌ, (S, Mgh, KL,) He abated the price, or payment, to him in selling: (MA, KL, PS:) or he treated him in an easy and a gentle manner therein: (TK:) from حِبَآءٌ signifying “ a gift. ” (Mgh.)

He drew together and confined his back and his shanks (S, Mgh, Msb, and Har p. 179) with his رِدَآء, (S,) or with a garment, or piece of cloth, or with some other thing, (Mgh, Msb, and Har ubi suprà,) when sitting, to be like him who is leaning [his back against a wall]: (Har ubi suprà:) he drew his legs against his belly with a garment, or piece of cloth, confining them therewith, together with his back, and binding it, or making it tight, upon them, so as to preserve him from falling, [when he sat,] like a wall: (IAth, TA:) and ↓ تحبّى signifies the same: (TA:) or احتبى بِالثَّوْبِ he inwrapped himself with the garment: or he drew together and confined his back and his shanks with a turban or the like: (K:) for the Arabs not having walls in their deserts to lean against in their assembling, the man used to set up his knees in his sitting, and put against them a sword, or surround them [and his back] with a piece of cloth, or knit his hands, or arms, together upon them, and rest against them; this standing him in stead of leaning. (Har ubi suprà.) The doing this in one garment is forbidden, in a trad., lest, by accident, what decency requires to be concealed should become exposed. (IAth, TA.) You say also, احتبى بِيَدَيْهِ [He confined his legs against his belly with his hands, or arms, in sitting, to support himself by so doing]. (S, Msb. *) [See also قُرْفُصَآءُ.] الاِحْتِبَآءُ with the sword is practised on the occasions of making a covenant for mutual protection, or war, or appointing a chief, and the like; because the sword may be wanted in these cases. (Ham p. 711.)

A grape: (K:) or grapes when they first grow, from the berry, not from planting: (TA:) pl. حُبًى. (K.)

a subst. from اِحْتَبَى, (Yaakoob, S, K,) as also ↓ حِبْوَةٌ (S, Msb, K) and حِبْيَةٌ (K) and ↓ حِبَآءُ and ↓ حُبَآءٌ: (Ks, K:) meaning [The act denoted by اِحْتَبَى; i. e. اِحْتِبَآءٌ: and also] a turban, or piece of cloth, or some other thing with which a man performs what is termed الاِحْتِبَآءُ: (Har p. 179:) pl. حُبًى (Yaakoob, TA) and حِبًى. (Yaakoob, S, TA.) [See an ex. from a trad. voce نَمِرَةٌ: and see also a verse of El-Farezdak cited voce حَلَّ.] Hence, حَلَّ حُبْوَتَهُ and عَقَدَ حُبْوَتَهُ mean (assumed tropical:) He rose, or stood up, and (assumed tropical:) He sat. (Har p. 179. The former phrase is also mentioned in the S.) And the saying, الحُبَى حِيطَانُ العَرَبِ [The things used for the purpose of اِحْتِبَآء are the walls of the Arabs: see 8]. (TA.) And the saying, in a trad. of ElAhnaf (when he was asked in a time of war, “ When is forbearance? ”), ↓ عِنْدِ الحُبَآءِ [On the occasion of اِحْتِبَآء]; meaning that forbearance is to be approved in peace, not in war. (TA.) الحبوة on Friday, when the Imám is reciting the khutbeh, is forbidden; because الاِحْتِبَآء induces sleep, and exposes the purity of the worshipper to be annulled. (TA.) -A2- See also حِبَآءٌ.
