إِقْتَبَبَVIII see 1, near the end.
2 IAar says, El- 'Okeylee used not to discourse of anything but I wrote it down from him; wherefore he said, مَا تَرَكَ عِنْدِى إِلَّا ٱنْتَقَرَهَا إلَّا ٱقْتَبَّهَا وَلَا نُقَارَةً, meaning He did not leave with me any approved and choice word but he cut it off for himself [or appropriated it to his own use], nor any such expression but he took it for himself.
