5 تَشَبَّ3َ [تَشَبَّتِ النَّارُ The fire became kindled; or made to burn, burn up, burn brightly or fiercely, blaze, or flame: see also 1.] One says on the occasion of kindling fire, “ تَشَبَّبِى تَشَبُّبَ النَّمِيمَهْ
جَآءَتْ بِهَا تَمْرٌ إِِلَى تَمِيمَهْ
” [Be thou kindled like the state of kindling of the calumny that Temr brought to Temeemeh: but to what this alludes I know not]: it is like the saying, أَوْقَدَ بِالنَّمِيمَةِ نَارًا [He kindled a fire with calumny]. (A, TA.) ― -b2- See also 2.
