Full Definition

اهبّIV , and , [He caused the wind to blow; to rise; to be in a state of commotion].

def.2 اهبّه He awoke him, or roused him, from his sleep. is said to signify the same; and in proof thereof is adduced a reading in the Kur, deviating from that which is universally received as correct; مَنْ هَبَّنَا مِن مَّرْقَدِنَا, instead of مَنْ بَعَثَنَا, Who hath roused us from our sleeping-place? [ch. xxxvi., v. 52;] but IJ rejects this reading, unless it be elliptical, for هَبَّ بِنَا.

def.3 اهبّ السَّيْفَ He shook the sword; or made it to quiver.
