4 ابدّ فِيهِمُ العَطَآء ابد فيهم العطآء , (As, T,) and ابدّ بَيْنَهُمْ العَطَآءَ, (S, M, L, K,) and أَبَدَّهُمْ العَطَآءَ, (M, A, Mgh,) He divided among them the gift, giving to each of them his lot, or share, or portion, (S, M, A, Mgh, L, K,) singly, not giving a portion to be shared by two: (As, T, M, * Mgh, L:) said with respect to food and property and any other thing. (M.) You say, أَبْدَدْتُهُمْ المَالَ وَ الطَّعَامَ I divided among them, in shares, the property and the food. (IAar, T.) [Hence,] أَبِدِّيهِمْ تَمْرَةً تَمْرَةً (T, S, A, Mgh, from a trad.) [Give thou to each of them a date; or] distribute thou among them to each a date: (T:) said by Umm-Selemeh, (T, A, Mgh,) to a slave-girl, when beggars had become numerous. (A.) إِِبْدَادٌ in relation to a gift signifies The giving [persons] one by one; and قِرَانٌ, the “ giving two by two. ” (A 'Obeyd, T.) [See also 3.] ― -b2- يُبِدُّهُمْ is used by a poet, referring to a saying, and is explained by IAar as meaning It (the saying) shall be distributed among them (يُفَّرقُ فِيهِمْ); opposed to يَجْمَعُ [i. e. يَجْمَعُهُمْ; which shows that the former means it shall be addressed to them one by one, or separately]. (M, TA. [The author of the former adds, “ I know not, in discourse, أَبْدَدْتُهُ as meaning فَرَّقْتُهُ: ” but this is not what I Aar means.]) ― -b3- أَبِدَّهُمَا نَعْجَتَيْنَ Allot thou to them (namely, two lambs,) two ewes, to each lamb a ewe, to suckle it: said when one ewe is not sufficient for both the lambs. (T, * S.) ― -b4- ابدّ ضَبْعَيْهِ He extended his upper arms, separating them from his sides, in prostrating himself in prayer. (T, A, Mgh, L.) ― -b5- ابدّ يَدَهُ إِِلَي الأَرْضِ He extended his arm, or hand, to the ground, or earth, (T, S, Mgh, L,) as one does when he takes up something from it. (L.) ― -b6- ابدّ نَظَرَهُ He prolonged his look. (T, L.) And ابدّهُ بَصَرَهُ (T, A, L) He prolonged his look at him, or it; as one does when he sees a thing that he dislikes. (T, L.)
