1 شَابَهُ ذ , aor. يَشُوبُهُ, (S, A, Msb,) inf. n. شَوْبٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and شِيَابٌ, (K,) He mixed it; (S, A, Msb, K;) such as milk with water; (Msb;) or honey with water. (A.) [And It mingled with it: for] one says also, كَأَنَّ رِيقَتَهَا خَمْرٌ يَشُوبُهَا عَسَلٌ [As though her saliva were wine with which honey mingled]. (A.) ― -b2- [It is sometimes used in a good sense, but more frequently in a bad sense; and often means He adulterated, vitiated, or sophisticated, it.] It is said in a trad., يَشْهَدُ بَيْعَكُمُ الحَلِفُ وَاللَّغْوُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ (assumed tropical:) [Swearing, and unprofitable speech, attend your selling; therefore mix ye it with alms]. (TA.) And it is said in a prov., هُوَ يَشُوبُ وَيَرُوبُ (assumed tropical:) He mixes, or confounds, or makes a confusion or disorder, in speech and in actions: (S, TA:) or he says right one time and wrong another time: (As, TA:) or he defends without energy: (TA:) or he is sometimes incited to motion, or action, and defends himself, but without energy, and sometimes he is motionless, and does not become excited to motion, or action; and it is not from [the words شَوْبٌ and رَوْبٌ applied to] milk: so says Aboo-Sa'eed [i. e. As]: and he says also that شَابَ عَنْهُ وَرَابَ means he defended him at one time, and was sluggish, or indolent, at another time: and that عنه ↓ شوّب , inf. n. تَشْوِيبٌ, means he defended him without energy: and thus this latter is expl. in the K, as is likewise شاب عنه: also that the Arabs say, لَقِيتُ فُلَانًا اليَوْمَ يَشُوبُ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِ, meaning I found such a one to-day defending his companions in some measure. (TA.) [See also art. روب.] ― -b3- شاب also signifies He acted treacherously, perfidiously, or unfaithfully: (Fr, TA:) he lied: he deceived in selling or buying: and he acted dishonestly, insincerely, or with dissimulation. (IAar, TA.) ― -b4- [See also Har p. 448; where it is implied that it signifies also He spoke truth, or was veracious.]
