ابغضهُ

Root: بغض

Form: 4

Full Definition

ابغضهُIV , Verbal.Noun إِبْغَاضٌ, He hated him. It is said that is not allowable: or يَبْغُضُنِى is a bad form; used by the lower class; and sanctioned by Th only; for he explains قَالِينَ, as occurring in the Kur [xxvi. 168], by بَاغِضِينَ, which shows that he held بَغَضَ to be a dial. var.; for otherwise he would have said مُبْغِضِينَ: but the epithet بَغُوضٌ affords a strong evidence in favour of the opinion of Th here mentioned; for فَعُولٌ is mostly from فَاعِلٌ, not from مُفْعِلٌ.

def.2 مَا أَبْغَضَهُ إِلَىَّ, or لِى, is [said to be] anomalous; because the verb of wonder is not regularly formed from a verb of the measure أَفْعَلَ; but this is not anomalous; for it is from بَغَضَ فُلَانٌ إِلَىَّ [“ such a one was, or became, hateful, or odious, to me: ” ما ابغضه الىّ signifying How hateful, or odious, is he to me! but ما ابغضه لِى, How he hates me! for] the lexicologists and grammarians relate that مَا أَبْغَضَنِى لَهُ is said when thou hatest him; and ما ابغضنى إِلَيْهِ, when he hates thee: ISd says, on the authority of Sb, that ما ابغضنى له means that thou art an object of hatred (مُبْغَضٌ [so in the TA, but this is evidently a mistake for مُبْغِضٌ, a hater,]) to him; and ما ابغضه الىّ, that he is an object of hatred with thee, or in thine estimation.

def.3 أَنْعَمَ ٱللّٰهُ بِكَ عَيْنًا وَ أَبْغَضَ بِعَدُوِّكَ عَيْنًا, or the former verb is نَعِمَ, and the latter , like نَصَرَ, or , is a form of imprecation [app. meaning May God make thine eye to be refreshed by the sight of him whom thou lovest, and make the eye of thine enemy to be pained by the sight of him whom he hateth: or may God make an eye to be refreshed by the sight of thee, and make an eye to be affected with hatred by the sight of thine enemy].
