تَابَ أبى تأب تاب , (T, A,) or تاب اـِلَى ا@للّٰهِ , (S, M, K,) aor. يَتُوبُ , (Msb,) inf. n. تَوْبَةٌ and تَوْبٌ , (T, S, M, Msb, K,) both of these signifying the same, (T, S, M, Msb,) the ة in the former being added to denote the fem. gender, or, as some say, the former is a n. un. like ضَرْبَةٌ , (Msb,) or, as Akh says, تَوْبٌ is pl. [or a quasi-pl. n.] of تَوْبَةٌ , like as عَوْمٌ is of عَوْمَةٌ , (S,) or like as لَوْزٌ is of لَوْزَةٌ , and this is the opinion of Mbr, (M,) and تَابَةٌ , (M, K,) which is for تَوْبَةٌ , (M,) and مَتَابٌ (S, M, A, K) and تَتْوِبَةٌ , (S, * M, * K,) of the measure تَفْعِلَةٌ , (S, M,) an anomalous form, (TA,) syn. with تَوْبَةٌ , mentioned in the Book of Sb; (S;) [He repented; or repented toward God; as will be shown by what follows:] originally, he returned unto God, (T, TA,) مِنْ كَذَا and عَنْ كَذَا [from such a thing]: (TA:) or he returned, [or returned unto God,] (S, M, A, K,) from sin, (S,) or from his sin, (A,) or from disobedience (M, K) to obedience: (M:) or تَابَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ signifies he desisted from his sin: (Msb:) تَوْبَةٌ signifies the repenting of sin; i. e. the grieving for it, or regretting it, with the confession of having no excuse for the commission thereof. (Kull.) It is said in a trad., النَّدَمُ تَوْبَةٌ [Repentance is] a returning from sin. (S.) The time of El-Islám is termed زَمَنُ التَّوْبَةِ as being The time of returning from [or repenting of] the belief in a plurality of gods. (A.) A poet says, تُبْتُ اـِلَيْكَ فَتَقَبَّلْ تَابَتِى وَصُمْتُ رَبِّى فَتَفَبَّلْ صَامَتِى [I have repented toward Thee, and accept Thou my repentance; and I have fasted, O my Lord, and accept Thou my fast]; meaning تَوْبَتِى and صَوْمَتِى . (M.) ― -b2- تَابَ ا@للّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ God returned to forgiveness towards him; became again forgiving to him: (T:) or disposed, or adapted, him to repentance, or returning from sin or disobedience: (S, K:) or reverted from severity to mildness towards him: or returned to him with his favour, or grace, and his acceptance, or approbation; became again propitious to him: (A, K:) all these meanings are correct: (TA:) or God forgave him, and saved him from acts of disobedience: (Msb:) or accepted his repentance: (Jel in ii. 35 &c.:) or returned towards him with mercy, and acceptance of repentance. (Bd ibid.)
استتابهُ استتابه استتابة ٱستتاب ٱستتابه He proposed to him that he should return [to obedience unto God], (T, A,) and repent of that which he had committed: (T:) he asked him to return from sin, or disobedience: (S, K:) or he asked him to desist from his sin. (Msb.)
تَابُوتٌ تابوت , originally تَوَبُوتٌ , the ت not being the characteristic of the fem. gender, (Z, MF, TA,) of the measure فَعَلُوتٌ , and meaning A chest, or box, from التَّوْبُ , because what is taken out from it continually returns to it: (AAF, IJ, Z, MF, TA:) or originally تَابُوَةٌ ; (S, K; [in the CK تَأْبُوَةٌ ;]) the و being made quiescent, and the ة changed into ت : (S, K:) [in Chald. ?: in Hebr. ?:] it signifies also the ribs, with what they contain, as the heart and the liver &c.; as being likened to a chest, or box; (IAth, TA in art. تبت ;) the chest, breast, or bosom: (A in that art.:) or [primarily] the ribs, with what they contain, as the heart &c.: and [hence] applied to a chest, or box: (Towsheeh, MF, TA:) also written تَبُوتٌ . (K in art. تبت .) [It is generally applied in the present day to a bier: a coffin: and an oblong case that is placed over a grave: the pl. is تَوَابِيتُ .] El-Kásim Ibn-Maan says that it is the only word in the Kur-án in respect of which the dialects of Kureysh and the Ansár differ; the former pronouncing it تَابُوتٌ ; (S;) and the latter, تَابُوهٌ . (S, K.) But IB denies that its last letter is originally ة , the fem. termination; asserting the final ت to be a radical letter, the measure of the word to be فَاعُولٌ , and its proper place in art. تبت : he says that the final ت is changed in a case of pause, but not generally, into ه , as is that of الفُرَات [the Euphrates], in which the ت is not the fem. termination. (L, TA.) You say, مَا أَوْدَعْتُ تَابُوتِى شَيْيءًا فَقَدْتُهُ , meaning I have not deposited in my bosom anything of knowledge, or science, that I have lost. (A in art. تبت .)
تَوَّابٌ تواب , applied to a man, [One who repents much or often;] returning from disobedience to obedience [to God] (M, K, TA) much or often. (TA.) ― -b2- And applied to God, One who returns [much or often] to forgiveness towards his servant who returns unto Him: (T:) or who [often] disposes, or adapts, to repentance, or returning from sin or disobedience; or reverts from severity to mildness; or returns with his favour or grace, &c.: (A, K: [see 1, last sentence:]) or who forgives much, and save from acts of disobedience. (Msb.)
تَايءِبٌ [Repenting of sin: (see 1:) originally,] returning from disobedience (M, K) to obedience to God. (M.)
