غَضَبٌ ذ an inf. n. of غَضِبَ [q. v.]. (S, Msb, K.) الغَضَبُ is The contr. of الرِّضَى: (K, TA:) it is variously defined: some say that it is a state of excitement of the blood of the heart for the purpose of revenge: some say that pain on account of anything reparable is غَضَب; and for anything irreparable, أَسَف: some say that it [is a passion which] includes all that is evil; wherefore the Prophet, to a man who asked of him a precept, said, لَا تَغْضَبْ: and some say that الغَضَب is [a passion] accompanied by an eagerness to obtain revenge; and الغَمّ is accompanied by despair of obtaining it: (TA: [see also غَيْظٌ:]) there is a غَضَب that is commended, and a غَضَب that is discommended; the former being that which is for the sake of religion and truth, or right; and the latter being that which is in a wrong case: and the غَضَب of God is his disapproving of the conduct of him who disobeys Him, and whom He will therefore punish.
