4 اجبى أجبى أجبي اجبى اجبي جبى in the trad. مَنْ أَجْبَى فَقَدْ أَرْبَى is originally أَجْبَأَ [q. v.]: (S:) accord. to IAth, it is a corruption of the relater, or the ' is suppressed to assimilate the verb to اربى (TA.) The inf. n., إِِجْبَآءٌ, is variously explained, as follows: (TA:) The selling seed-produce before it shows itself to be in a good state: (A'Obeyd, Th, S, K:) and a man's hiding his camels from the collector of the poor-rate: (IAar, A'Obeyd, K:) and i. q. عِينَةٌ; i. e. the selling to a man a commodity for a certain price to be paid at a certain period, then buying it of him with ready money for a less price than that for which it was sold.
