Full Definition

مُبَادَاةٌIII The going, or coming, out, or forth, in the field, to encounter another in battle, or war.
2 And [more commonly] The showing open enmity, or hostility, with any one: [a meaning more fully expressed by the phrase مُبَادَاةٌ بِالعَدَاوَةِ: for you say,] بَادَى بِالعَدَاوَةِ He showed open enmity, or hostility, [with another;] syn. جَاهَرَ بِهَا; as also تبادى : or you say, تبادوا بالعدواة they showed open enmity, or hostility, one with another; syn. تَجَاهَرُوا بِهَا. You say also, بادى النَّاسَ بِأَمْرِهِ He showed, or revealed, to the people, or to men, his affair, or case. [Thus, باداهُ بِالأَمْرِ and لَهُ الأَمْرَ signify the same; i. e. He showed, or revealed, to him the affair, or case.]
3 And بادى بَيْنَهُمَا He measured, or compared, them both together, each with the other.
