رَائِبٌ
[act. part. n. of 1; Causing, or occasioning, doubt, or suspicion or evil opinion, &c.] IAar says that Aboo-Bekr is related to have said, in his charge to 'Omar, عَلَيْكَ بِالرَّائِبِ مِنَ الأُمُورِ
وَ إِيَّاك وَ الرَّائِبَ مِنْهَا, which Th explains as meaning Keep thou to what is clear, free from dubiousness or confusedness, of affairs, and beware thou of, or avoid thou, what has in it dubiousness, or confusedness, thereof: the first is from رَابَ of which the Present.T is يَرُوبُ, said of milk; and the second is from رَابَ of which the Present.T is يَرِيبُ. [See also a verse cited voce رَائِبٌ in art. روب, and my remark thereon.]
