Root: حب
Full Definition
حَبِيبٌ
A person loved, beloved, affected, liked, or approved; as also
مَحْبُوبٌ and
مُحَبٌّ , of which two the former is generally used for the latter, in like manner as are used مَزْكُومٌ and مَحْزُونٌ and مَجْنُونٌ and مَكْزُوزٌ and مَقْرُورٌ, each of which has its proper verb of the measure فُعِلَ, and
حِبٌّ and
حُبَابٌ and
, which last is also applied to a female, and has for its pl. حُبَبٌ: the fem. of حَبِيبٌ is with ة; and so is that of
مَحْبُوبٌ , [and that of
مُحَبٌّ ,] and that of
حِبٌّ : the pl. of حَبِيبٌ is أَحِبَّآءُ, instead of حُبَبَآءُ, which would be the reg. pl. but for the repetition of the ب; and the pl. of حَبِيبَةٌ is حَبَائِبُ: the pl. of
حِبٌّ is أَحْبَابٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and حِبَّانٌ and حُبَّانٌ and حُبُوبٌ and حِبَبَةٌ and
حُبٌّ , which last is rare (عَزِيزٌ) [as a pl.], or is a quasi-pl. n. Though
مُحَبٌّ is uncommon it occurs in the following verse of 'Antarah:
2 Also, and حِبٌّ , A person loving; a lover; a friend; i. q. مُحِبٌّ : [fem. of each with ة:] the pl. of the first (i. e. حبيب) is أَحْبَابٌ [and أَحِبَّآءُ and أَحِبَّةٌ, mentioned by Golius as from the S, but not in my copies of the S: both, however, are correct: the former, the more common: the latter, a pl. of pauc.]. You say اِمْرَأَةٌ لِزَوْجِهَا and مُحِبٌّ [A woman loving to her husband].
3 أَبُو حَبِيبٍ The kid.
4 الحَبِيبَةُ: see مُحَبٌّ.
[And thou hast taken , in respect of me, i. e. of my heart, the place of the beloved, the honoured; or become in the condition of the beloved, &c.].وَلَقَدْ نَزَلْت فَلَا تَظُنّى غَيْرَهُ مِنِّى بِمْنْزِلَةِ المُحَبِّ المُكْرَمِ
