I, or my mind, was, or became, cheerful, happy, pleased, or dilated, by means of it; agreeably with what next precedes: or pleased, content, or willing, to grant, concede, give, or do, it]: (Ṣ, O, Ḳ:) [for] طَابَتْ نَفْسُهُ بِالشَّىْءِ [often] signifies ‡ He granted, conceded, or gave, the thing, liberally, [willingly, or of his own good pleasure,] without constraint, and without anger.

And طَابَتْ نَفْسِى عَلَيْهِ † [My mind was agreeable to it]; said when a thing is agreeable, or suitable, to one's mind; and [in like manner] طِبْتُ نَفْسًا عَلَيْهِ. (TA.)

[In the Ḳ, الطِّيبُ and الطِّيبَةُ are expl. as meaning الحِلُّ, which Golius has supposed to mean in this case “quod licitum, legitimum;” and which Freytag has in like manner expl. as meaning “res licita,” and “licitum:” but it is here an inf. n., of حَلَّ; not syn. with the epithet الحَلَالُ, which is given as an explanation of الطَّيِّبُ.] You say, طَابَ لِى كَذَا ‡ Such a thing became, or has become, lawful,, &c., to me. (A.) Hence the saying of Aboo-Hureyreh, اَلْآنَ طَابَ الضِّرَابُ, (TA,) or طَابَ ٱمْضَرْبُ, (O, TA,) as some relate it, accord. to the dial. of Himyer, (TA,) meaning طَاب ٱلضَّرْبُ, i. e. † Now fighting has become lawful.

* مُقَابَلُ الإِعْرَاقِ فِى الطَّابِ الطَّابْ *

* بَيْنَ أَبِى العَاصِى وَآلِ الخَطَّابْ *

[i. e. Rooted by the father's and the mother's side in unsullied goodness, or the like, between Abu-l- 'Ásee on the one side and the family of El-Khattáb on the other: for it is evidently cited as an ex. of الطاب used as a subst. and as an epithet; so that by فى الطاب الطاب is meant فى الطِّيبِ الطَّيِّبِ: otherwise it might be supposed that the literal repetition is meant to denote simply corroboration, as appears to be the case in an instance which will be mentioned in what follows:] the object of praise being the son of ʼAbd-El-'Azeez the son of Marwán the son of El-Hakam the son of Abu-l-'Ás [or 'Ásee], and his mother being Umm-'Ásim the daughter of 'Ásim the son of ʼOmar the son of El-Khattáb.

(TA.)

(TA.)

طُوبٌ, mentioned in this art. in the Ṣ and Ḳ, [as though it were originally طُيْبٌ,] see in art. طوب.

طِيبٌ an inf. n. of طَابَ. (O, Mgh,* Mṣb, Ḳ.) [Used as a simple subst., Goodness, pleasantness,, &c.] You say, مَا بِهِ مِنَ الطِّيبِ [There is not in him aught of goodness,, &c.]: you should not say, من الطِّيبَةِ. (Ṣ, O.) [See also طَابٌ: and طُوبَى.]

طَابَةُ: see what next follows.

طَيْبَةُ a name of The city of the Prophet; (Ṣ, O, Mṣb, Ḳ;) as alsoطَابَةُ↓, (O, Mṣb, Ḳ,) andالطَّيِّبَةُ↓, andالمُطَيَّبَةُ↓, (Ḳ,) which last may be also written المُطَيِّبَةُ↓. (TA.)

(MF, TA.)

طُوبَى, of the measure فُعْلَى from الطِّيبُ, originally طُيْبَى, (Zj, Ṣ, O, Mṣb,) an inf. n. of طَابٌ, (Ksh and Bḍ in xiii. 28,) syn. with طِيبٌ: (Seer, Ḳ: [in my MṢ copy of the Ḳ طَيِّب, a manifest mistake:]) and fem. of أَطْيَبُ: (ISd, Ḳ:) and pl. of طَيِّبَةٌ, (Ḳ,) accord. to Kr, who says that there is no word like it except كُوسَى pl. of كَيِّسَةٌ, and ضُوقَى pl. of ضَيِّقَةٌ; but ISd says that, in his opinion, طُوبَى and كُوسَى and ضُوقَى are fems. of أَطْيَبُ and أَكْيَسُ and أَضْيَقُ, because فُعْلَى is not a pl. measure: Kr also adds that they did not say طِيبَى↓, like as they said كِيسَى and ضِيقَى; (TA; [see ضُوقَى, in art. ضيق;]) [but Ṣgh says that] طِيبَى↓ is a dial. var. of طُوبَى: (O:) Aboo-Ḥátim Sahl Ibn-Moḥammad Es-Sijistánee relates that an Arab of the desert, reciting as a pupil to him, persisted in pronouncing طُيْبَى for طُوبَى: (TA:) it signifies حُسْنَى [as meaning A good final, or ultimate, state or condition]: and (some say, O, Mṣb) خَيْرٌ [meaning good, good fortune, and the like]: (O, Mṣb, Ḳ:) and خِيرَةٌ [meaning God's blessing or favour,, &c.]; (Ḳ;) as some say: (TA:) or eternal life: (Zj, TA:) or a pleasant life: (Mṣb:) and (O, Ḳ) a certain tree in Paradise; (Ṣ, O, Ḳ;) thus the Prophet is related to have said; and MF says that it is a proper name thereof, not admitting the article ال, and the like is said in the M: (TA:) or it signifies Paradise in the Indian language; (O, Ḳ;) or, accord. to Saʼeed Ibn-Jubeyr, in the Abyssinian language: (O:) as alsoطِيبَى↓. (Ḳ.) These different significations are assigned by different persons to this word in the phrase in the Ḳur [xiii. 28] طُوبَى لَهُمْ [which seems to be best rendered as an announcement, meaning A good final state,, &c., shall be to them, or be their lot]: (Mṣb, TA:) Sb holds that it is an invocation of good, or a prayer, [as though قُلْ i. e. “say thou” were understood before it,] and that طوبى is virtually in the nom. case, i. e. مَرْفُوع, as is shown by the words immediately following وَحُسْنُ مَآبٍ: but Th, who makes طوبى to be an inf. n. like رُجْعَى, says that one reading is طُوبَى لَهُمْ وَحُسْنَ مَآبٍ, like the phrase سَقْيًا لَهُ: MF, however, [supposing Th to have said طُوبًى, though I think it indubitable that he said طُوبَى, and only meant that it was used as virtually, not literally, with tenween,] observes that رُجْعًى, with tenween, is not known to have been transmitted from any one of the leading authorities on the Arabic language. (TA.) Ḳatádeh says that طُوبَى لَهُمْ is a phrase of the Arabs; who say, طُوبَى لَكَ إِنْ فَعَلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا [A good final state, &c., be to thee, or be thy lot, or shall be to thee, if thou do such and such things]: and it is said in a trad., طُوبَى لِلشَّأْمِ [May good,, &c., betide Syria]; in which case, طوبى is of the measure فُعْلَى from الطِّيبُ, and does not mean “Paradise,” nor “the tree.” (L, TA.) One says, طُوبَى لَكَ and طُوبَاكَ; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) but not طُوَبيْكَ: (Yaạḳoob, Ṣ, O: [in one of my copies of the Ṣ طُوبِيكَ:]) or طُوبَاكَ is a barbarism: (O, Ḳ:) it is disallowed by the T, and by most of the grammarians: but Akh says that it is used by some of the Arabs; and Ibn-El-Moatezz uses it in the following verse:

* مَرَّتْ بِنَا سَحَرًا طَيْرٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا *

* طُوبَاكِ يَا لَيْتَنَا إِيَّاكِ طُوبَاكِ *

[A flock of birds passed by us a little before daybreak, and I said to them, Good betide you: would that we were you: good betide you]: Esh-Shiháb El-Khafájee says that ل is understood [before the ك] in طوباك; but MF has argued well against this assertion. (TA.)

طِيبَى: see the next preceding paragraph, former half, in three places.

طِيَابٌ A sort of palm-trees of El-Basrah, (L, Ḳ, TA,) the dates of which, when the gathering has been delayed beyond the usual time, fall, one after another, from their stones, so that the raceme remains with nothing upon it but the stones hanging to the bases of the dates; though they are large; and if the fruit is gathered when fully ripe, the stone does not come off with it.

مُطَيَّبٌ pass. part. n. of 2. (TA.) Hence, (TA,) حِلْفُ المُطَيَّبِينَ [The covenant of the perfumed men]: (Ḳ, TA:) these were five tribes; Benoo-ʼAbd-Menáf and Benoo-Asad-Ibn-'AbdEl-'Ozzà and Benoo-Teym and Benoo-Zuhrah and Benu-l-Hárith and Benoo-Fihr: (TA:) and they were so called for the following reason: when Benoo-ʼAbd-Menáf desired to assume [the offices of] the حِجَابَة and the رِفَادَة and the لِوَآء and the سِقَايَة, [see arts. حجب, &c.,] which belonged to Benoo-ʼAbd-ed-Dár, and these refused their consent, all of the above-mentioned, (Ḳ, TA,) having assembled in the house of Ibn-Jud'án, in the Time of Ignorance, (TA,) concluded a ratified covenant for the accomplishment of their affair, engaging not to fail in aiding one another: then they mixed some perfumes, and dipped their hands therein; after which they wiped their hands upon the Kaabeh in token of confirmation of the covenant: and Benoo-'Abded-Dár, also, and their confederates, (Ḳ, TA,) composing six tribes, Benoo-ʼAbd-ed-Dár and Jumah and Makhzoom and 'Adee and Kaab and Sahm, (TA,) concluded together another covenant, and were thence called الأَحْلَاف: (Ḳ, TA:) this is the account commonly known and received: another account is the following: there came a man of the Benoo-Zeyd to Mekkeh for the purpose of [the religious visit termed] the عُمْرَة, having with him merchandise, and a man of Sahm bought this of him, and refused to pay him for it; whereupon he called to them from the summit of Aboo-Kubeys, and they arose, and entered into a covenant together to do him justice: thus relates Eth-Tha'álibee: (TA:) Moḥammad was one of the مُطَيَّبُون, (Ḳ, TA,) being then twenty-five years old; and so was Aboo-Bekr: and ʼOmar was an أَحْلَفِىّ.
