SabaAHN * : see SuboHN . ― -b2- Also (Msb) Contr. of masaA='N , (S, A, Msb,) and so ↓ SabiyHapN , (S,) [and ↓ A^uSobuwHapN (as in a phrase following in this paragraph), and ↓ maSobaHN , (see this last word,)] i. e. Morning, or forenoon, counted from sunrise to noon: (Msb and TA in art. msw :) or, accord. to some, from midnight to noon: (TA in art. msw :) or, accord. to the Arabs, from the beginning of the latter half of the night to the time when the sun declines from the meridian; then commences the masaA=' , extending to the end of the former half of the night; thus expl. by Th; so says El-Jawá- leekee. (Msb.) The Arabs say, when they regard a man, &c., as ominous of evil, SabaAHu A@ll~`hi laA SabaAHuka [ God's morning: not thy morning ]: and if you will, you may say, SabaAHa A@ll~`hi laA SabaAHaka . (Lh, TA.) And Eimo SabaAHFA , (S,) or EimuwA SabaAHFA , (K,) lit. imperative, but meaning a prayer, i. e. May thy life, or your life, be pleasant during the morning, (Har p. 32, and TA * in arts. nEm and wEm ,) is a salutation of the people of the Time of Ignorance. (TA.) One says also, laqiytuhu SabaAHFA , and *aA SabaAHK , (S,) or A^atayotuhu *aA SabaAHK , (K,) which [i. e. *A SbAH ] is only used adverbially, (Sb, S, K,) except in the dial. of Khath'am, (Sb, S,) meaning [ I met him, or I came to him, ] in a morning, [or] between daybreak and sunrise: (K:) the following verse (S, TA) by Anas Ibn-Nuheyk, of Khath'am, (TA,) or, as some say, by Iyás Ibn-Mudrikeh El-Hanafee, (so in a marg. note in a copy of the S,) presents an exception to the adverbial usage: Eazamotu EalaY A_iqaAmapi *iY SabaAHK liA^amorK m~aA yusaw~adu mano yasuwdu (S, TA:) the poet means, I determined to stay until the time of the SbAH [i. e. either dawn or forenoon ]: for it is on account of some particular thing, i. e. some good quality, or some praiseworthy thing, that he is made a chief who becomes a chief: thus Ibn-Es-Seeráfee explains this verse. (TA.) And one says, ↓ A^atayotuhu *aA SabuwHK , not used otherwise than adverbially, meaning the same as *aA SabaAHK , expl. above; (K;) and ↓ *aAta AlS~abuwHi in the morning, or first part of day, before sunrise: (IAar, TA:) or ↓ *aA SabuwHK [properly means] in a time of drinking the [ morning-draught called ] SabuwH . (TA.) And yawomi ka*aA ↓ A^atayotuhu SabiyHapa [ I came to him in the dawn, or in the morning, or forenoon, of such a day ]: (A:) and ↓ A^uSobuwHapa kul~i yawomK [ in the morning of every day ]; and in like manner, A^umosiy~apa kul~i yawomK . (S.) And A^atayotuhu SabaAHa masaA='a , (Sb, A, TA,) for SabaAHFA wamasaA='F , [ I came to him morning and evening, ] meaning every morning and evening: (Sharh esh-Shudhoor, p. 31:) the two nouns are thus constructed by some of the Arabs, after the manner of xamosapa Ea$ara : but some prefix the former noun to the other, putting the latter in the gen. case, except when the expression is used as a denotative of state, or adverbially: (TA:) [or, accord. to IHsh,] SabaAHa masaA='K is allowable as [an adverbial expression] meaning SabaAHa *aA masaA='K [lit. in a morning having an evening, or in a forenoon having an afternoon ]; and a similar instance occurs in the Kur, ch. lxxix. last verse. (Sharh esh-Shudhoor, ubi suprà.) ― -b3- yawomu AlS~abaAHi means (tropical:) The day of the hostile, or predatory, incursion. (S, A, K.) The Arabs, when suddenly attacked in the morning by a troop of horsemen, cry aloud, yaA SabaAHaAho (assumed tropical:) [ O! a hostile, or predatory, incursion! ]; warning the whole tribe: (TA:) this is said by him who calls for aid: (JM:) for they generally made a hostile, or predatory, incursion in the morning: (TA, JM:) or, as some say, the two conflicting parties used, when night came, to abstain; and when day returned, they recommenced; so that the case is as though he who said thus meant, The time of the SabaAH [or morning] has come, therefore prepare yourselves for fighting.
