سقب
1 سَقِبَ ذ , aor. سَقَبَ , inf. n. سَقَبٌ, He, or it, was, or became, near. (Msb.) سَقَبٌ is syn. with قُرْبٌ. (S, A, K.) You say, سَقِبَتْ دَارُهُ, (S, and so in the K accord. to the TA,) with kesr [to the ق], (S,) [inf. n. as above;] or سَقَبَت, (so in the CK and in my MS. copy of the K and in my copy of the Mgh,) inf. n. سَقْبٌ, (so in my copy of the Mgh,) or سُقُوبٌ; (K;) [but I believe the verb to be correctly سَقِبَت, like its syn. صَقِبَت, and the inf. n. to be correctly سَقَبٌ, and perhaps سُقُوبٌ also;] His house was near; (S, Mgh, K;) as also ↓ أَسْقَبَت . (S, K.) It is said in a trad., الجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِسَقَبِهِ, meaning [The neighbour has a better, or the best, claim to pre-emption] by reason of his being near: (S, * A, Msb:) or the ب is a connective of احقّ with its complement, (Mgh, Msb,) not to denote a cause, (Mgh,) and بِسَقَبِهِ is expl. as meaning بِالضْلَرRُّفْعَةِ; (Mgh, Msb;) i. e. the neighbour has a better, or the best, claim to الضْلَرRُّفْعَة [or pre-emption], when his house is contiguous: (Mgh:) IAth says that it is adduced as an evidence that الضْلَرRُّفْعَة belongs to the neighbour though not a sharer; i. e., that he has a better claim thereto than one who is not a neighbour: but some explain الجار as meaning the partner, or sharer: or the meaning of the trad. may be, the neighbour has a better, or the best, claim to kindness and assistance because of his being near. (L, TA. [See also another reading (بِصَقَبِهِ), and explanations thereof, in art. صقب.]) 4 اسقبهُ ذ He made him, or it, to be near: (K:) or اسقب دَارَهُ he made his house to be near. (S.) [And so with ص.] -A2- See also the paragraph above. -A3- أَسْقَبَتْ is also said of a she-camel, meaning She brought forth mostly males. (A, * TA.) [And اسقب He got, or got mostly, male offspring.] In the following saying, (S, TA,) of Ru-beh, describing the two parents of a man eulogized [by him], (TA,) “ وَكَانَتِ العِرْسُ الَّّتِى تَنَخَّبَالِفَحْلٍ أَسْقَبَا ↓ غَرَّآءَ مِسْقَابًا
” [And the wife whom he chose was generous, or noble, or fair, one that brought forth, or brought forth mostly, male offspring, to a male that begot, or begot mostly, such offspring,] the last word is a verb, in the pret. tense, not an epithet applied to فحل. (S, * TA. [In the former, only the second hemistich is cited.]) 6 تساقبت أَبْيَاتُهُمْ ذ was probably used as meaning Their tents, or houses, were near together: see the part. n. of this verb below.] سَقْبٌ ذ The young one of a camel: or, when just brought forth: (K:) or only the male young one of a camel: (S, K:) [see also صَقْبٌ:] when a she-camel has brought forth her young one, the latter, when just born, is called سَلِيلٌ, before it is known whether it is a male or a female; but when it is known, if it is a male, it is called سَقْبٌ: (As, TA:) the female is not called سَقْبَةٌ, (S, K,) but حَائِلٌ: (S:) or it is [sometimes] called by the former of these appellations: (K:) [see De Sacy's Chrest. Arabe, 2nd ed., ii. 358: and see سَقْبَةٌ below:] the pl. is أَسْقُبٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and سِقَابٌ and سُقُوبٌ and سُقْبَانٌ. (K.) “ أَذَلُّ مِنَ السُّقْبَانِ بَيْنَ الحَلَائِبِ
” [More vile than the male young ones of camels among the milch camels] is a prov. [from a verse of Keys Ibn-El-Khateem]. (TA.) ― -b2- Tall: (K: [see also سَكْبٌ:]) or anything tall, together with plumpness; or fatness, softness, thinness of the skin, and plumpness. (S. [See also صَقْبٌ.]) Applied to a branch, Juicy, thick, and long: (Az, TA: [and so صَقْبٌ:]) or anything of the like kind full and complete. (ADk, TA.) In the following verse, cited by Sb, “ وَسَاقِيَيْنِ مِثْلَ زَيْدٍ وَجُعَلْ
سَقْبَانِ مَمْضْلَرRُوقَانِ مَكْنُوزَا العَضَلْ
” سَقْبَانِ signifies طَوِيلَانِ [tall], and is also written صَقْبَانِ: (Sh, TA:) [so that the meaning may be, And two waterers, or givers of drink, like Zeyd and Jo'al: they being two tall persons, light of flesh, compact in the muscles: I suppose هُمَا to be understood before the latter hemistich; because of the ns. in the nom. case: and I have substituted مَكْنُوزَا for مَنْكُوزَا, the reading in the TA, doubtless a mistranscription:] or it is for مِثْلَ سَقْبَيْنِ [meaning like two male young ones of camels]. (L, TA.) ― -b3- And The pole of a [tent such as is called] خِبَآء; (S, K;) as also ↓ سَقِيبَهٌ : and so صَقَبٌ: (S:) pl. of the first سِقْبَانٌ. (K.) سَقَبٌ ذ inf. n. of سَقِبَ [q. v.].

وَرُحْتَ إِِلَى بَلَدٍ سَاقِبِ
