(S.) You say also, آبَتِ الشَّمْسُ, (T, S, &c.,) aor. تَؤُوبُ, (M,) inf. n. مَآبٌ, (T,) or إِِيَابٌ [in the CK اَياب] and أُيُوبٌ, (M, K,) The sun returned from its place of rising, and set: (Msb:) or the sun set; (T, S, M, A, K;) as though it returned to the place whence it commenced its course; (M;) [or] it is a dial. var. of غَابَت. (S.) And آبَ إِِلَيْهِ People came to him from every direction, or quarter. (TA, from a trad.) The poet Sáideh Ibn-El-'Ajlán uses the expression, لَآبَكَ مُرْهَفٌ, meaning A thin sword would have come to thee; in which the verb may be trans. by itself, or the prep. إِِلَى may be understood. (M, TA.) ― -b2- He returned from disobedience to obedience; he repented. (TA.) And آبَ إِِلَى ا@للّٰهِ He returned unto God from his sin, or offence, and repented.

And آبَ يَدَهُ إِِلَى سَيْفِهِ, (as in a copy of the T,) or بِيَدِهِ, (as in a copy of the A, [which is probably here the more correct],) He put back his hand to his sword to draw it: (Lth, T, A:) and الى قَوْسِهِ [to his bow] to draw it: and الى سَهْمِهِ [to his arrow] to shoot it. (A.) ― -b4- See also 2.
