اشعبIV
He died: or he separated himself from another or others, never to return; as also
شعّب or
شَعَبَ , accord. to different copies of the K, the latter as in the L. A poet says, namely, En-Nábighah El-Jaadee,
or وَكَانُوا شُعُوبًا مِنْ أُنَاسٍ, accord. to different readings: [app. meaning, And they were men of divided races or tribes, or were divided races or tribes of men; so they perished; or separated, never to return:] IB says, after mentioning the former reading, i. e. they were of men who should perish; so they perished: having previously mentioned the latter reading, and added, i. e. they were of those whom شعوب should overtake. (TA. [IB's explanations seem at first sight to indicate that he read شَعُوبَ and شَعُوبًا; neither of which is admissible: each of his explanations app. relates to both readings; as though he understood the poet to mean, they were men separated from different tribes, to be overtaken by others; so they perished.])وَكَانُوا أُنَاسًا مِنْ شُعُوبٍ فَأَشْعَبُوا
