هَيَّبَانٌ: see هَائِبٌ.

هَيَّبَانٌ (Ḳ) or [rather]هَيِّبَانٌ↓, (TA, [see هَائِبٌ]) A he-goat: (Ḳ:) explained by the word تَيْسٌ; but this is a signification not found [by SM] elsewhere, and appears to be a mistake for مَنْتَفِشٌ; for in the L and other lexicons we find the word explained by مُنْتَفِشٌ خَفِيفٌ, Scattered, and light; with a citation of the following verse of Dhu-r-Rummeh:

* تَمُجُّ اللُّغَامَ الهَيَّبَانَ كَأَنَّهُ *

* جَنَى عُشَرٍ تَنْفِيهِ أَشْدَاقُهَا الهُدْلُ *

[She ejects from her mouth the scattered and light froth, as though it were plucked fruit of the 'oshar which the flabby sides of her mouth cast forth:] and we also find, in the R, قُطْنٌ هيّبانٌ explained as signifying cotton that is plucked, or teased with the fingers, so as to become scattered; syn. منتفش: or هيّبان signifies, in the abovecited verse, accord. to some, Light, [which signification is also given in the Ḳ, but in the CK displaced; following, instead of preceding, the word الرَّاعِى, and without و before it;] and separated into small particles: (TA:) [or] the froth of the mouth of camels; (Az, Ḳ;) i. q. لُغَامٌ: (Mj, Sifr es-Sa'ádeh:) Az cites the above verse; and says, that the fruit of the عُشَر [or asclepias gigantea] comes forth like a small pomegranate, and, when burst open, discloses what resembles [white] raw silk; to which the poet likens the froth of the camel's mouth. (TA.)

هَيَّبَانٌ (or هَيِّبَانٌ, TA,) A pastor. (Ḳ, from Es-Seeráfee.) [Accord. to the CK, a light, or an active pastor: but see above.]

هَيَّبَانٌ (orهَيِّبَانٌ↓, TA,) Dust, or earth: syn. تُرَابٌ. (Ḳ.)

See هَائبٌ.

هَائِبٌ [act. part. n. of هَابَ, Regarding with reverence, veneration, dread, or awe; with fear; with cautious fear, or caution;] fearing men. (Ḳ.) This is the original [simple] epithet. (TA.)

The following, which are explained in the Ḳ in the same manner as the above, are intensive epithets: (TA:) namely هَيُوبٌ↓ (Ṣ, Ḳ) and هَيُوبَةٌ, (Ṣ, L,) [in which the ة is added to strengthen the intensiveness,] andهَيَّابٌ↓ and هَيَّابَةٌ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) in which ة is added for the purpose above mentioned, (TA,) andهَيِّبٌ↓, (Ḳ,) which may be contracted into هَيْتٌ, (TA,) andهَيْبَانٌ↓ (Ḳ) andهَيِّبَانٌ↓ (Ṣ, Ḳ) andهَيَّبَانٌ↓; (Ḳ;) of which last two forms, the latter only is admitted by some of the learned; but MF admits only the former of them; asserting فَيْعَلَانٌ to be unknown as the measure of an unsound word, like as فيَعِلَان is unknown as that of a sound word except in extr. instances; (TA;) [Having much reverence, veneration, dread, or awe; much fear; much cautious fear, or caution:] fearing men [much]: (Ḳ:) a coward, who regards men with awe, or fear, &c.: (Ṣ:) [The last of these epithets is also explained in the CK as signifying having much fear, or very fearful; (كَثِيرُ الخَوْفِ;) and a coward: but in the TA and in a MṢ copy of the Ḳ, الخوف is omitted; and in the TA is added by the author, after كثير, the words من كلّ شىُ; as though the meaning of the word were “much, or many, of any things:” the correct reading seems to be the former, and the meaning intended by SM, having much fear, or very fearful, of everything: in like manner] هَيُوبٌ↓ signifies a man who fears everything. (TA.)

الإِيمَانُ هَيُوبٌ↓ [Faith is fearful, or very fearful; i. e.,] he who possesses faith fears acts of disobedience: occurring in a trad.: (Ṣ:) in this case, هيوب is used in the sense of an act. part. n.: or it signifies [faith is feared; or regarded with reverence, &c.; i. e.,] he who possesses faith is feared, or regarded with reverence, &c.: in which case هيوب is used in the sense of a pass. part. n. (TA.)

هٰذَا الشَّىْءُ مَهْيَبَةٌ لَكَ [This thing is a cause of awe, or fear, to thee]. (Ṣ.)

مَهِيبٌ andمَهُوبٌ↓, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) the former agreeable with rule, (TA,) andهَيُوبٌ↓, (Ḳ) [respecting which see also هَائِبٌ,] andهَيْبَانٌ↓, (Th, IM, Ḳ,) [Regarded with reverence, veneration, respect, honour, dread, or awe; with fear; with cautious fear, or caution;] a man whom others regard with reverence, &c.; (Ṣ;) a man whom others fear. (Ḳ.)

مَكَانٌ مَهُوبٌ, formed from the verb هُوبَ, the original ى being changed into و (Ṣ, Ḳ,) A place regarded with awe, or fear; (Ṣ;) a place in which one is impressed with awe, or fear: as alsoمَكَانٌ مَهَابٌ↓: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) مَهَابٌ signifies a place of awe, or fear. (IB.)

المَهِيبُ and المَهُوبُ andالمُتَهَيَّبُ↓ † The lion: (Ḳ:) because regarded with awe, or fear, by men. (TA.)
