و ه ب

وَاْهَبَ ↓ وَاهَبَهُ فَوَهَبَهُ , aor. of the latter verb يَهَبُ and يَهِبُ , He strove to surpass him in giving, freely, or disinterestedly, and he surpassed him therein. (K.) [The former of the above aors., accord. to general opinion, is irregular; and the latter, regular; because the first radical letter is و ; as in the case of وَاعَدَهُ فَوَعَدَهُ , aor. يَعِدُ : or, accord. to the rule laid down by Ks, the reverse is perhaps the case, because the medial radical letter is a guttural. See Lumsden's Ar. Gram., p. 171.]

اوهب لَهُ الشَّىْءَ He prepared, or made ready, the thing for him. (K.) ― -b2- أَوْهَبْتُكَ الطَّعَامَ وَالشَّرَابَ I prepared, or made ready, for thee the food and beverage, and abundance of them. (Tahdheeb el-Af'ál.) But see this verb in an intrans. sense. ― -b3- أَوْهَبَ الطَّعَامُ (tropical:) The food, or corn, or the like, became abundant and ample, so that some of it was given away. (A.) -A2- أَوْهَبْتُ لِأَمْرِ كَذَا (tropical:) I became capable of such a thing and able to do it. (A.) ― -b2- أَوْهَبَ لَكَ الشَّىْءُ The thing was, or became, within thy power, or reach, so that thou mightest take it. (K. *) Related on the authority of IAar alone, who says, They did not say أَوْهَبْتُهُ لَكَ . (TA.) ― -b3- أَوْهَبَ لَهُ الشَّىْءُ The thing was lasting to him. (A'Obeyd, AZ, S, K.) J cites the following verse: عَظِيمُ القَفَا رِخْوُ الخَوَاصِرِ أَوْهَبَتْ لَهُ عَجْوَةٌ مَسْمُونَةٌ وَخَمِيرُ [Large in the back of the neck, soft (or loose or flabby) in the flanks: dates of the best that ElMedeeneh produces, prepared with clarified butter, and leaven, are lasting (provisions) to him]. But 'Alee Ibn-Hamzeh says, that this is a mistake, and that the right reading is أُرْهِنَتْ , meaning “ are prepared, and continued. ” So in a marginal note in a copy of the S. (TA.) [So too in the margin of one of my MS. copies of the S.]

تواهبوا They gave gifts, one to another. (S, K.) ― -b2- فِيهِمِ التَّوَاهُبُ [They have a habit of mutually giving gifts]. (TA.) ― -b3- تَوَاهَبَهُ النَّاسُ بَيْنَهُمْ [The people gave it; one to another]. (TA.) ― -b4- وَلَا التَّوَاهُبُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ صعةٌ [Nor is their mutual giving of what is (possessed) among them (from fear of) humiliation]: i. e., they do not give by constraint. (TA, from a trad.)

اـِتهَبَ (originally اـِوْتَهَبَ , TA,) He accepted a هِبَة , or gift. (S, Msb.) اتّهبه He accepted it [as a gift]. (K.) اـِتَّهَبْتُ مِنْكَ دِرْهَمًا [I accepted from thee a dirhem, as a gift]. (L.)

استوهب , (S,) or استوهب هِبةَ , (Msb,) He asked for a هبة , or gift. (S, Msb.) ― -b2- استوهبهُ خَادِمًا [He asked him to give him a servant.] (K, art. خدم .)

هَِبةٌ and ↓ مَوْهَبَةٌ A gift (or thing bestowed); properly, one that is freely and disinterestedly given, not for any compensation; a free, or disinterested, gift. (L.) [In the K, the latter is explained as signifying simply a gift.] Pl. of the former هِبَاةٌ ; and of the latter, مَوَاهِبُ . (A, &c.) ― -b2- [A هِبَاةٌ is of two kinds: مَوَاهِبُ A free gift, for no requital, or compensation: and هِبَةُ ثَوَابٍ A gift for a requital, or compensation. This distinction is made in law, &c.]
