1 تَبَنَ أبان بان بنى تاب تبن تبنن تبني , aor. تَبِنَ , (S, M, K,) inf. n. تَبْنٌ, (S,) He fed a beast with تِبْن [q. v.]. (S, M, K.) ― -b2- Also He sold [تِبْن, i. e.] straw. (KL.) -A2- تَبِنَ, (T, S, M, K,) aor. تَبَنَ , (S, K,) inf. n. تَبَنٌ, (T, S,) or تَبْنٌ, (M, K,) and تَبَانَةٌ (T, S, * M, K) and تَبَانِيَةٌ, (M,) He was, or became, intelligent, sagacious, skilful, or knowing; syn. فَطِنَ, (K,) or صَارَ فَطِنًا; (S;) and nice, or minute, in inspection (S, K) into affairs: (S:) or تَبَانَةٌ signifies the being very intelligent or sagacious or skilful or knowing, and nice, or minute, in inspection; as also طَبَانَهٌ; accord. to AO and AA: (T:) these two words signify the same (T, S, M *) accord. to [most of] the leading authorities: (T:) and Yaakoob asserts that the ت is a substitute for ط: (M:) [or the reverse seems to be the case in the opinion of Az, who here remarks that there are many instances of the change of ت into ط:] or the former is in evil; and the latter, in good: (M:) or, accord. to Lth, طَبِنَ means in evil; and تَبِنَ, in good; so that he makes طبانة to be in deceiving, or beguiling, and suddenly, or unexpectedly, attacking or destroying: but En-Nadr says the contr.; and accord. to him, طَبَنٌ signifies the having knowledge of affairs, and intelligence, or sagacity, and science: (T:) and ↓ تبّن , inf. n. تَتْبِينٌ signifies the same as تَبِنَ: (K:) or he inspected nicely, or minutely: as in a trad. in which it is said, respecting a woman whose husband has died leaving her pregnant, يُنْفَقُ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ المَالِ حَتَّى تَبَّنْتُمْ مَا تَبَّنْتُمْ, meaning [She shall be expended upon from the whole of the property] until ye make a nice, or minute, inspection [into the circumstances of the case], and say otherwise, (T, S,) i. e., that she shall be expended upon from her own share: (T:) and so in another trad., in which it is said, إِِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالكَلِمَةِ يُتَبِّنُ فِيهَا يَهْوِى بِهَا فِى النَّارِ, (A 'Obeyd, T, M,) i. e. [Verily a man will say a saying] in which he will be nice, or minute [in expression, whereby he will fall into the fire of Hell]: (TA:) here A 'Obeyd thinks the meaning to be the making language obscure, or abstruse, and disputing in a matter of religion. (T.) You say also, تَبِنَ لَهُ (T, M, TA) He understood it; or knew it; or had knowledge, or was cognizant, of it; (TA;) i. q. طَبِنَ. (M.)
