اربح فِى تِجَارَتِهِ He found a profitable market in [or for] his traffic. (Az, Msb.) -A2- اربحهُ He gave him gain, or profit: (Mgh, Msb:) ↓ ربّحهُ we have not heard; (Mgh;) [i. e.] رَبَّحْتُهُ as meaning I gave him gain, or profit, has not been transmitted [from the Arabs of classical times].

رِبْحٌ and ↓ رَبَحٌ and ↓ رَبَاحٌ [all originally inf. ns.] Gain, or profit; (IAar, S, A, K, and Mgh in explanation of the first and last;) increase [obtained] in traffic; (TA;) excess, or surplus, [obtained,] above the capital [expended]; wherefore it is also termed شِفٌّ . (Ksh and Bd in explanation of the first in ii. 15.) [Hence,] ↓ البِرُّ خَيْرُ تِجَارَةٍ رَبَاحًا (tropical:) [Piety is the best traffic in respect of gain, or profit.] (A.)

رَبَحٌ : see the next preceding paragraph. ― -b2- Horses and camels that are brought from one place to another for sale. (K.) ― -b3- And Fat, as a subst. (S, K.) A poet says, (S,) namely, Khufáf Ibn-Nudbeh, (TA,) قَرَوْا أَضْيَافَهُمْ رَبَحًا بِبُحٍّ يعِيشُ بِفَضْلِهِنَّ الحَىُّ سُمْرِ [as though meaning They entertained their guests with fat, on the superabundant remains of which the tribe lived, by means of tawny-coloured gaming-arrows whereby the lots that determined who should afford the entertainment were divided]: (S, * TA:) but [this is inconsistent with the affixed pronoun relating to ربحا , wherefore], in this case, as some say, (S, TA,) it means young weaned camels; (S, K, TA;) [as a quasi-pl. n.;] and its sing. is ↓ رَابِحٌ ; (K;) like as that of حَرَسٌ is حَارِسٌ ; and that of خَادِمٌ خَدَمٌ : (TA:) or a young weaned camel; [like رُبَحٌ ;] and its pl. is رِبَاحٌ : (K:) or it means here the gain, or profit, obtained by means of the game called الَميْسِر . (S, TA.) ― -b4- See also the next paragraph.

رُبَحٌ A young weaned camel; (S, K:) app. a dial. var. of رُبَعٌ . (S.) [See also رَبَحٌ and رُبَّاحٌ .] ― -b2- A lamb, or kid: (ISd, TA in art. نصح :) or the latter: (K;) as also ↓ رُبَّاحٌ . (IAar, K.) ― -b3- See also رُبَّاحٌ , first sentence. ― -b4- Also A certain bird, (S, K,) resembling the رَامِج [which is an owl employed for catching hawks]: or, accord. to Kr, the word is ↓ رَبَحٌ , and signifies a certain bird resembling the زَاغ [or rook]. (TA.)

رَبَاحٌ : see رِبْحٌ in two places. -A2- Also A certain small animal, resembling the cat. (So in many copies of the S.) F observes that J says, الرَّبَاحُ دُوَيْبَّةٌ يُجْلَبُ مِنْهَا الكَافُورُ ; and that بَلَدٌ has been substituted as an amendment for دويبّة in some of the copies [of the S]; but that each of these readings is erroneous: for يجلب we find [in copies of the S] in the handwriting of Aboo-Zekereeyà and that of Aboo-Sahl يُحْلَبُ , with the unpointed ح ; and the substitution of بلد for دويبَة was made by IKtt: in the copies of the S, moreover, we find مِنْهُ instead of مِنْهَا : and IB says that the passage in J's original copy, in his own handwriting, runs thus: الرَّبَاحُ أَيْضًا دُوَيْبَّةٌ كَالسِّنَّورِ يُجْلَبُ مِنْهُ الكَافُورُ . (TA.) [But I find that, in five copies of the S, between السنّور and يجلب , occur the words وَالرَّبَاحُ أَيْضًا بَلَدٌ , or بَلْدَةٌ or ا@سْمُ بَلَدٍ : and I think it most probable that J intended to have introduced these or similar words, and therefore wrote مِنْهُ instead of مِنْهَا ; meaning that رباح is the appellation of a certain small animal, resembling the cat: and that الرباح is also the name of a country or town from which camphor is brought: this country or town is said in a marginal note in a copy of the S to be in India.]

رُبَاحٌ : see رُبَّاحٌ .

رَبِيحٌ : see رَابِحٌ .

رَبَاحِىٌّ A certain kind of camphor: (K:) so called in relation to a certain country, or town, agreeably with what is [said to have been] asserted by J, or to a certain king named رَبَاحٌ , who applied his mind to this kind of camphor, and discovered it. (TA.)

Animalium" &c., p. iii.:)] or the young one of an ape: (TA:) or apes [as a coll. gen. n.]: (TA in art. نصح , in explanation of the last, which is there said to be originally رُبَاحٌ :) pl. of the first رَبَابِيحُ . (TA.) One says أَمْلَحُ مِنْ رُبَّاحٍ and رُبَاحٍ , meaning [Prettier] than the ape. (A, TA.) ― -b2- [Hence, app.,] رُبُّ رُبَّاحٍ (Lth, A, K) or رُبَاحٍ (A) A sort of dates (Lth, A, K) of ElBasrah.

(TA.) ― -b4- See also رُبَحٌ .

مَتْجَرٌ رَابِحٌ and ↓ رَبِيحٌ (tropical:) Trafficking in which one makes gain, or profit; (TA;) and so تِجَارَةٌ رَابِحَةٌ ; (T, S, A, * Msb, K;) [lucrative, or profitable, traffic;] a phrase like لَيْلٌ نَايءِمٌ and سَاهِرٌ meaning "a night in which one sleeps" and "in which one is wakeful:" (Az, TA:) and بَيْعٌ ↓ مُرْبِحٌ a sale in which one makes gain, or profit.
