شَائِبَةٌ ذ sing. of شَوَائِبُ meaning The whiteness [mixing] with the darkness of night. (Har p. 58.) ― -b2- The saying لَيْسَ فِيهِ شَائِبَةُ مُلْكٍ may be from شَابَهُ “ he mixed it; ” meaning There is not in it anything [of ownership, or right of possession,] mixed therewith, though small, or however small; like as one says, لَيْسَ فِيهِ عُلْقَةٌ وَلَا شُبْهَةٌ; it being an instance of the measure فَاعِلَةٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولَةٌ, as in عِيشَةٌ رَاضِيَةٌ: thus the lawyers use it. (Msb.) ― -b3- شَائِبَةٌ is also sing. of شَوَائِبُ meaning Uncleannesses, filths, or pollutions; or unclean, filthy, or foul, things. (S, Msb, K. *)
