Full Definition

استسبّX [He invited, or attracted, reviling, or vilifying, to his two parents]. It is said in a trad. of Aboo-Hureyreh, لَا تَمْشِيَنَّ أَمَامَ أَبِيكَ وَلَا تَجْلِسْ قَبْلَهُ وَلَا تَدَعْهُ بِٱسْمِهِ وَلَا تَسْتَسِبَّ لَهُ, i. e. [By no means walk thou before thy father, nor sit down before him, nor call him by his name,] nor expose him to reviling, or attract reviling to him, by reviling another's father, for in that case he may revile thy father in requital to thee.

def.2 اِسْتَسْبَبَ لَهُ الأَمْرُ [The thing, or affair, or event, became caused, or prepared, for him: thus expl. by IbrD: see also 5].
