And حَبَلَتْهُ الحِبَالَةُ The snare [caught him, or] clung to him: and hence, قَذًى حَبَلَتْهُ عَيْنُهُ [Motes which his eye caught]; a metaphorical phrase, used by Er-Rá'ee; the eye being likened to the snare; and the motes, to game. And حُبِلَ عَنِ البَرَاحِ [He was prevented, as by a snare, or by a rope, from quitting his place] And زَوْجُهَا [app. meaning Her husband entrapped her: or laid a snare for her].
