Full Definition

اربحIV He found a profitable market in [or for] his traffic.

def.2 اربحهُ He gave him gain, or profit: ربّحهُ we have not heard; [i. e.] رَبَّحْتُهُ as meaning I gave him gain, or profit, has not been transmitted [from the Arabs of classical times]. You say, أَرْبَحْتُهُ عَلَى سِلْعَتِهِ, or عَلَيْهَا, or both, I gave him a gain, or profit, upon his commodity. And اربحهُ بِمَتَاعِهِ [He made him to gain by his commodity]. And اربح ٱللّٰهُ بَيْعَتَهُ [God made, or may God make, his sale to be productive of gain, or profit]. (S and K in art. رجع.)

def.3 Also اربح He slaughtered for his guests young weaned camels; which are called رَبَح.

def.4 And اربح النَّاقَةَ He milked the she-camel in the early morning, or between the prayer of daybreak and sunrise, and at midday.
