مُبِدٌّ مبد مبدي [act. part. n. of 4, q. v.]. The following words of 'Omar Ibn-Abee-Rabee'ah, “ أَمُبِدٌّ سُؤَالَكَ العَالَمِينَ
” are said to signify Dost thou distribute thy petition among mankind one by one, so as to include them universally? or dost thou constrain them by thy petition? from the saying, مَا لَكَ مِنْهُ بُدٌّ [“ thou hast no means, ” or “ way, ” “ of separating thyself from it, ” or “ avoiding it ”]. (M, L.)
