يَا خِبْثَةُ يا خبثه يا خبثة : see خَبيثٌ. -A2- خِبْثَةٌ with respect to a slave signifies (assumed tropical:) Unlawful capture; capture from a people whom it is unlawful to make slaves, (Mgh, * K, TA,) by reason of a treaty, or league, made with them, (Mgh, TA,) or of some sacred, or inviolable, right, originally belonging to them. (TA.) You say of a slave, لَا خِبْثَةَ فِيهِ مِنْ إِِبَاقٍ وَلَا سَرِقَةٍ (tropical:) [There is no unlawful capture in his case, from having run away, nor from having been stolen]. (A.) ― -b2- فُلَانٌ لِخِبْثَة is like the saying لِزِنْيَةٍ (assumed tropical:) [Such a one is the offspring of adultery, or fornication]. (S.) And وُلِدَ فُلَانٌ لِخِبْثَةٍ means (tropical:) Such a one was born spuriously. (A, * L.)
