[And accord. to Reiske, as stated by Freytag, صَبَحَ signifies He drank in the early morning: but I think that Reiske may have assigned to it this meaning from his having found the pass. form of the verb, not distinguished as such, used in a case in which it might be supposed to signify thus.].

اصبح He entered upon the time of morning termed صَبَاح [which means both dawn and forenoon]: (Ṣ,* Mṣb: [in the former this meaning is indicated, but not expressed:]) or he entered upon the time of daybreak, or dawn, the time termed صُبْح. (L, Ḳ.) By the following words of EshShemmákh,

* وَقِيلُ المُنَادِى أَصْبَحَ القَوْمُ أَدْلِجِى *

is meant, [And the saying of the crier is,] The people, or party, have nearly entered upon the time of dawn: prosecute the night-journey: for the Arabs, when they have nearly arrived at a place which they desire to reach, say, قَدْ بَلَغْنَاهُ; and when travellers are near the time of daybreak, they say, أَصْبَحْنَا. (T, L.)

[Hence,] ‡ He awoke from sleep in the جَوْف [i. e. last third, or last sixth,] of the night. (A, TA.) [And simply ‡ He awoke: for] one says to the sleeper, أَصْبِحْ, meaning ‡ Awake thou from sleep. (A, TA.) And one says also, أَصْبِحْ يَا رَجُلُ, meaning ‡ Become roused, O man, (A, Ḳ,* TA,) from thy heedlessness or inadvertence, (A, TA,) and see thy right course, (Ḳ, TA,) and what will rectify thy state.

And فَأَصْبَحَ يُقَلِّبُ كَفَّيْهِ, in the Ḳur xviii. 40, [And he became in a state, or condition, in which he turned over his hands; i. e.] and he became repentant, or grieved for what he had done.

See also 8, in two places.

فُلَانٌ يَتَصَابَحُ and يَتَحَاسَنُ[Such a one affects to be beautful, comely, pretty, or elegant: the latter verb is here added as an explicative of the former: see صَبُحَ]. (A, TA.)

اصطبح He drank a morning-draught, or what is termed a صَبُوح; (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA;) [and] so اصبح↓. (Mṣb. [Thus in my copy of the Mṣb, but probably a mistranscription, for the former is the verb well known in this sense, and is not in that copy.]) It is said in a trad., مَالَنَا صَبِىٌّ يَصْطَبِحُ [We have not a child that drinks a morningdraught]; meaning we have not as much milk as a child may drink in the early morning, in consequence of the drought. (TA.)

And i. q. أَسْرَجَ [as meaning He lighted a lamp or wick, or himself or another with a lamp, &c.]; (Ḳ, TA;) and soاصبح↓ (A, TA) [in the former sense], as in the phrase اصبح مِصْبَاحًا [he lighted a lamp or wick]; (A;) and اصبح alone has this meaning, i. e. أَسْرَجَ سِرَاجًا. (TA, from a trad.) [But it is used often in the latter sense:] one says, الشَّمْعُ مِمَّا يُصْطَبَحُ بِهِ Candles are of the things with which one lights [himself, or others]; syn. يُسْرَجُ: (Ṣ:) [and in like manner تصبّح↓; for] one says, هُوَ يَتَصَبَّحُ بِالشُّمُوعِ [He lights himself, or others, with candles]: (A:) [and in like manner also استصبح↓; for] one says, استصبح بِالمِصْبَاحِ (Ṣ, MA, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ *) He lighted [himself, or another,] with the lamp, or wick; (MA;) syn. أَسْرَجَ; (Ṣ;) or اِسْتَسْرَجَ: (Ḳ:) [hence it appears that اصطبح بِهِ andاستصبح↓ به andتصبّح↓ به may be aptly rendered he employed it as a means of light; and thus the second of these three verbs, is expl. in treatises on practical law:] one says also,استصبح↓ بِالدُّهْنِ [He employed oil as a means of light; or] he made the lamp, or wick, to give light by means of oil: (Mgh, Mṣb:) and it is said in a trad. respecting the several sorts of fat (شُحُوم) of carrion, يَسْتَصْبِحُ↓ بِهَا النَّاسُ The people [employ them as means of light; or] make their lamps, or wicks, to give light by means of them. (TA.)

صُبْحٌ (Ṣ, A, Mṣb, Ḳ, &c.) andصَبَاحٌ↓ (Mṣb, Ḳ) andصَبِيحَةٌ↓ (Mṣb,* Ḳ) andإِصْبَاحٌ↓ andمُصْبَحٌ↓ (Ḳ [or perhaps the last should be مَصْبَحٌ, q. v.]) Daybreak, or dawn; syn. فَجْرٌ; (Ṣ, A, Mṣb, Ḳ;) i. e. (so in the Mṣb, but in the Ḳ “or”) the beginning, or first part, of day: (Mṣb, Ḳ:) إِصْبَاحٌ↓ is an inf. n. [inf. n. of أَصْبَحَ] used in the sense of صُبْح, in the Ḳur vi. 96, (Jel,) and is similar to إِبْكَارٌ; (TA;) [andمُصْبَحٌ↓ is the n. of place and time from أَصْبَحَ:] the pl. of صُبْحٌ is أَصْبَاحٌ; (Ḳ;) and thus some read in the Ḳur vi. 96. (Bḍ.) See also أَصْبَحُ. One says, أَتَيْتُهُ لِصُبْحِ خَامِسَةٍ andلِصِبْحِ↓ خامسة, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) meaning [I came to him] in the morning (صَبَاح) [of the last] of five days; (Ḳ;) i. e., of a fifth day; (TḲ;) [or rather, of a fifth night, as the last word is fem.;] like as one says, لِمِسْىِ خامسة. (Ṣ.)

الصُّبْحُ is also used as meaning † The truth; and the clear, or plain, thing or case. (Ḥam p. 449.)

And أُمُّ صُبْحٍ is one of the names of Mekkeh. (Ḳ,* TA.)

صُبْحَةٌ The early part of the forenoon, after sunrise; syn. ضُحًى; as alsoصَبْحَةٌ↓: (Mṣb:) or the period of one's entering upon the صَبَاح [which means both dawn and forenoon]: so in the saying, لَقِيتُهُ ذَاتَ صُبْحَةٍ [I met him when he was entering upon the dawn or forenoon]. (TA.)

And A sleep in the morning, or first part of day, before sunrise; as alsoصَبْحَةٌ↓; (Ṣ,* Ḳ;) or both signify a sleep in the ضُحَى [expl. above]; (A;) but the latter is by some disapproved: such sleep is forbidden in a trad., because it is in a time for the commemoration of the praises of God and then for seeking gain. (TA.) One says, فُلَانٌ يَنَامُ الصُّبْحَةَ andالصَّبْحَةَ↓ [Such a one sleeps in the first part of day, before sunrise]. (Ṣ.)

And Food with which one contents, or diverts, himself [so as to allay the craving of his stomach], in the morning or first part of day, before sunrise. (Ḳ.)

(Ṣ, TA.) Hence the prov., أَكْذَبُ مِنَ الأَخِيذِ الصَّبْحَانِ (Aboo-ʼAdnán, Ṣ, TA) More lying than the captive who had satisfied his thirst with a morning-draught: (Aboo-ʼAdnán, TA:) the person thus alluded to was a man who was among a people that gave him a morning-draught, after which he arose and quitted them, and was taken by another people, who said to him, “Guide us to the place where thou wast;” to which he replied, “I have passed the night in the bare desert:” but presently he sat down to make water, so they knew that he had passed the night with a people near by; and by his means they found their way to them, and exterminated them: (IAạr, TA:) or the prov. is أَكْذَبُ مِنَ الأَخِدِ الصَّبْحَانِ More lying than the young unweaned camel that has satisfied its thirst with drinking [its mother's milk in the morning]; which [seems to be thirsty but] will not drink of its mother's milk when one desires it to do so: (IAạr, Sh, TA:) or, accord. to Fr, than the young unweaned camel that is affected with indigestion, or heaviness of the stomach, from drinking much milk, and therefore craves for milk again.

Morning, or forenoon, counted from sunrise to noon: (Mṣb and TA in art. مسو:) or, accord. to some, from midnight to noon: (TA in art. مسو:) or, accord. to the Arabs, from the beginning of the latter half of the night to the time when the sun declines from the meridian; then commences the مَسَآء, extending to the end of the former half of the night; thus expl. by Th; so says El-Jawá- leekee. (Mṣb.) The Arabs say, when they regard a man, &c., as ominous of evil, صَبَاحُ ٱللّٰهِ لَا صَبَاحُكَ [God's morning: not thy morning]: and if you will, you may say, صَبَاحَ ٱللّٰهِ لَا صَبَاحَكَ. (Lḥ, TA.) And عِمْ صَبَاحًا, (Ṣ,) or عِمُوا صَبَاحًا, (Ḳ,) lit. imperative, but meaning a prayer, i. e. May thy life, or your life, be pleasant during the morning, (Ḥar p. 32, and TA * in arts. نعم and وعم,) is a salutation of the people of the Time of Ignorance. (TA.) One says also, لَقِيتُهُ صَبَاحًا, and ذَا صَبَاحٍ, (Ṣ,) or أَتَيْتُهُ ذَا صَبَاحٍ, (Ḳ,) which [i. e. ذا صباح] is only used adverbially, (Sb, Ṣ, Ḳ,) except in the dial. of Khath'am, (Sb, Ṣ,) meaning [I met him, or I came to him,] in a morning, [or] between daybreak and sunrise: (Ḳ:) the following verse (Ṣ, TA) by Anas Ibn-Nuheyk, of Khath'am, (TA,) or, as some say, by Iyás Ibn-Mudrikeh El-Hanafee, (so in a marg. note in a copy of the Ṣ,) presents an exception to the adverbial usage:

* عَزَمْتُ عَلَى إِقَامَةِ ذِى صَبَاحٍ *

* لِأَمْرٍ مَّا يُسَوَّدُ مَنْ يَسُودُ *

(Ṣ, TA:) the poet means, I determined to stay until the time of the صباح [i. e. either dawn or forenoon]: for it is on account of some particular thing, i. e. some good quality, or some praiseworthy thing, that he is made a chief who becomes a chief: thus Ibn-Es-Seeráfee explains this verse. (TA.) And one says,أَتَيْتُهُ ذَا صَبُوحٍ↓, not used otherwise than adverbially, meaning the same as ذَا صَبَاحٍ, expl. above; (Ḳ;) andذَاتَ الصَّبُوحِ↓ in the morning, or first part of day, before sunrise: (IAạr, TA:) orذَا صَبُوحٍ↓ [properly means] in a time of drinking the [morning-draught called] صَبُوح. (TA.) Andأَتَيْتُهُ صَبِيحَةَ↓ يَوْمِ كَذَا [I came to him in the dawn, or in the morning, or forenoon, of such a day]: (A:) andأُصْبُوحَةَ↓ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ [in the morning of every day]; and in like manner, أُمْسِيَّةَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ. (Ṣ.) And أَتَيْتُهُ صَبَاحَ مَسَآءَ, (Sb, A, TA,) for صَبَاحًا وَمَسَآءً, [I came to him morning and evening,] meaning every morning and evening: (Sharh esh-Shudhoor, p. 31:) the two nouns are thus constructed by some of the Arabs, after the manner of خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ: but some prefix the former noun to the other, putting the latter in the gen. case, except when the expression is used as a denotative of state, or adverbially: (TA:) [or, accord. to IHsh,] صَبَاحَ مَسَآءٍ is allowable as [an adverbial expression] meaning صَبَاحَ ذَا مَسَآءٍ [lit. in a morning having an evening, or in a forenoon having an afternoon]; and a similar instance occurs in the Ḳur, ch. lxxix. last verse. (Sharh esh-Shudhoor, ubi suprà.)

يَوْمُ الصَّبَاحِ means ‡ The day of the hostile, or predatory, incursion. (Ṣ, A, Ḳ.) The Arabs, when suddenly attacked in the morning by a troop of horsemen, cry aloud, يَا صَبَاحَاهْ † [O! a hostile, or predatory, incursion!]; warning the whole tribe: (TA:) this is said by him who calls for aid: (JM:) for they generally made a hostile, or predatory, incursion in the morning: (TA, JM:) or, as some say, the two conflicting parties used, when night came, to abstain; and when day returned, they recommenced; so that the case is as though he who said thus meant, The time of the صَبَاح [or morning] has come, therefore prepare yourselves for fighting. (JM.)

صُبَاحٌ The شُعلَة [or lighted wick] of a قِنْدِيل [or lamp]. (Ḳ.) [See also مِصْبَاحٌ.]

(TA.) أَعَنْ صَبُوحٍ تُرَقِّقُ [Dost thou make a delicate allusion to a morningdraught?] is a prov., [the origin of which is expl. in art. رق, q. v.,] applied to him who speaks obscurely, not plainly; and to him who alludes ambiguously to some great thing or affair; and to him who by blandishing expressions makes a thing incumbent on thee which is not really so.
