Full Definition
سُبُّوحٌ
, also pronounced سَبُّوحٌ, the latter the more agreeable with analogy, but the former the more common, one of the epithets applied to God, because He is an object of تَسْبِيح, and [often] immediately followed by قُدُّوسٌ, which is likewise also pronounced قَدُّوسٌ, though the former pronunciation is the more common: it signifies [All-perfect, all-pure, or all-glorious; i. e.] far removed, or free, from everything evil, and from every imperfection [and the like]. (Msb. [See 2, and see also سُبْحَانَ ٱللّٰهِ.]) It is said by Th that there is no word like the two epithets above, of the measure فعُّول with damm as well as with fet-h to the first letter, except ذرّوح: but the following similar instances have been pointed out: ستّوق among epithets, and ذرّوح and شبّوط and فرّوج and سفّود and كلّوب among substs. Sb says, لَيْسَ فِى الكَلَامِ فُعَّوْلٌ
بِوَاحِدَةٍ [expl. voce ذُرَّاحٌ]: [or] accord. to AHei, Sb said that there is no epithet of the measure فُعُّولٌ except سُبُّوحٌ and قُدُّوسٌ: Lh mentions سُتُّوقٌ also, as an epithet applied to a دِرْهَم, as well as سَتُّوقٌ.
