Root: تبع

Full Definition

تَبِعَةٌ and تِبَاعَةٌ signify the same; [The consequence of an action: and] a claim which one seeks to obtain for an injury, or injurious treatment, and the like: the former is also explained as signifying a right, or due, annexed to property, claimed from the possessor of the property: pl. [of the former] تَبِعَاتٌ and [of the latter] تِبَاعَاتٌ. A poet says, زَمَنَ التَّقَحُّمِ وَالمَجَاعَهْ أَكَلَتْ حَنِيفَةُ رَبَّهَا سُوْءَ العَوَاقِبِ لَمْ يَحْذَرُوا مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ [Haneefeh ate their lord, in the time of experiencing dearth, or drought, or sterility, and hunger: they did not fear, from their lord, the evil of the results, and the consequence of their action]: for they had taken to themselves a god consisting of حَيْس, [i. e. dates mixed with clarified butter and the preparation of milk called أَقِط, kneaded together,] and worshipped it for some time; then famine befell them, and they ate it. And one says, مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱللّٰهِ فِى هٰذَا تَبِعَةٌ, and تِبَاعَةٌ , There is not, against him, on the part of God, in this, any claim on account of wrong-doing.
