رَبِيضٌ

Full Definition

رَبِيضٌ Sheep, or goats, with their pastors, collected together in their lodging-places; as though it were a quasi-pl. n.; as also رِبْضَةٌ and رِبْضٌ : and hence, ↓ the former of these two, a company of men: and ↓ the latter of them, [accord. to the K,] a herd of bulls, or cows, in their lodgingplace; from the author of the book entitled كِتَابُ المُزْدَوِجِ مِنَ اللُّغَاتِ, only: but what this author says is, that رِبْضٌ signifies the lodging-places of bulls or cows [app. with the beasts in them]: and that the primary application of this word (رِبْضٌ) and رِبْضَةٌ is to sheep or goats; and that by a subsequent usage they have been applied to bulls or cows and to men. See also رَابِضٌ.
2 One says also, صَبَّ ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ حُمَّى رَبِيضًا [app. meaning May God send upon him a fever that shall cleave to him like as an animal lying upon its breast cleaves to the ground].

def.2 See also رَبَضٌ, last sentence.
