R. Q. 1 خَبْخَبَ خبخب He (a man, TA) acted perfidiously, unfaithfully, faithlessly, or treacherously. (K.) -A2- He was, or became, lax, flaccid, or flabby, in the belly. (K.) [See also خَبْخَبَةً, below; and see R. Q. 2.] -A3- خَبْخَبَ عَنِ الظَّهِيرَةِ He stayed until the mid-day heat had become assuaged, and the air was cool: (K:) or the phrase is خَبْخَبَ عَنْهُ مِنَ الظَّهِيرَةِ. (TA.) [Hence, in a trad. relating to the postponement of the noon prayers,] خَبْخِبُوا عَنْكُمْ مِنَ الظَّهِيرَةِ, (S,) or فِى الظَّهِيرَةِ, (JK, [but the former is more probably the correct phrase,]) Stay ye until the mid-day heat shall have become assuaged, and the air be cool: (JK, S:) it is originally ↓ خَبَّبُوا , and is altered therefrom for the purpose of distinction: (S in the present art.:) or originally بَخْبِخُوا. (S in art. بخ.)
