2 ابآء الإِبِلَ, (T, S, O, L, and so in some copies of the K, in other copies of which we find ابآء بِالْإِبِلِ,) Verbal.Noun إِبَآءَةٌ, He brought back the camels to the مَبَآءَة or مَعْطِن, both of which signify the place where they are made to lie down, at the watering-place. And ابآء الإِبِلَ, Verbal.Noun as above, He made the camels to lie down [in the مَبَآءَة], one beside another. And ابآء عَلَيْهِ مَالَهُ He drove back, or brought back, to their nightly resting-place, for him, his cattle, i. e., his camels, or his sheep or goats. And [hence,] أَبَآءَ ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَعَمًا لَا يَسَعُهَا المُرَاحُ [God bestowed upon them cattle which the nightly resting-place thereof would not contain].
