طَابٌ ذ is an inf. n. of طَابَ, (K,) and syn. with طِيبٌ and also with طَيِّبٌ, q. v.: a poet says, praising 'Omar Ibn-'Abd-El-'Azeez, “ مُقَابَلُ الإِِعْرَاقِ فِى الطَّابِ الطَّابْ
بَيْنَ أَبِى العَاصِى وَآلِ الخَطَّابْ
” [i. e. Rooted by the father's and the mother's side in unsullied goodness, or the like, between Abu-l- 'Ásee on the one side and the family of ElKhattáb on the other: for it is evidently cited as an ex. of الطاب used as a subst. and as an epithet; so that by فى الطاب الطاب is meant فى الطِّيبِ الطَّيِّبِ: otherwise it might be supposed that the literal repetition is meant to denote simply corroboration, as appears to be the case in an instance which will be mentioned in what follows:] the object of praise being the son of 'Abd-El-'Azeez the son of Marwán the son of El-Hakam the son of Abu-l-'Ás [or 'Ásee], and his mother being Umm-'Ásim the daughter of 'Ásim the son of 'Omar the son of El-Khattáb. (S, O.) ― -b2- عَذْقُ ا@بْنِ طَابٍ is the name of A sort of palm-trees in El-Medeeneh [app. so called because of the sweetness of their fruit, or طاب may in this instance be for طَابَة, a name of ElMedeeneh]: (K:) or, as also رُطَبُ ا@بْنِ طَابٍ, a sort of dates of El-Medeeneh: (S, O:) or اِبْنُ طَابٍ is a name of a sort of fresh ripe dates: (K:) and عَذْقُ ا@بْنِ طَابٍ and عَذْقُ ا@بْنِ زَيْدٍ are two sorts of dates: (S:) accord. to IAth, رُطَبُ ا@بْنِ طَابٍ is the name of a sort of dates of El-Medeeneh so called in relation to Ibn-Táb, a man of its inhabitants. (TA.) ― -b3- طاب طاب is [asserted to be] One of the names of the Prophet in the Gospel; [but where said to occur, I know not;] the interpretation of مأذ مأذ; [app. a mistranscription for مَاذ مَاذ, meaning “ very good in disposition, ” &c.;] the second word corroborating, and denoting intensiveness of signification. (TA.)
