شَابَهُ , aor. يَشُوبُهُ, (S, A, Msb,) inf. n. شَوْبٌ
(S, A, Msb, K) and شِيَابٌ, (K,) He mixed it;
(S, A, Msb, K;) such as milk with water; (Msb;)
or honey with water. (A.) [And It mingled
with it: for] one says also, كَأَنَّ رِيقَتَهَا خَمْرٌ يَشُوبُهَا
عَسَلٌ [As though her saliva were wine with which
honey mingled]. (A.) ―
2-b2- [It is sometimes used
in a good sense, but more frequently in a bad
sense; and often means He adulterated, vitiated,
or sophisticated, it.] It is said in a trad., يَشْهَدُ
بَيْعَكُمُ الحَلِفُ وَاللَّغْوُ فَشُوبُوهُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ (assumed tropical:) [Swearing,
and unprofitable speech, attend your selling;
therefore mix ye it with alms]. (TA.) And it is
said in a prov., هُوَ يَشُوبُ وَيَرُوبُ (assumed tropical:) He mixes, or
confounds, or makes a confusion or disorder, in
speech and in actions: (S, TA:) or he says right
one time and wrong another time: (As, TA:) or
he defends without energy: (TA:) or he is sometimes incited to motion, or action, and defends
himself, but without energy, and sometimes he is
motionless, and does not become excited to motion,
or action; and it is not from [the words شَوْبٌ and
رَوْبٌ applied to] milk: so says Aboo-Sa'eed [i. e.
As]: and he says also that شَابَ عَنْهُ وَرَابَ means
he defended him at one time, and was sluggish, or
indolent, at another time: and that شوّب ↓ عنه,
inf. n. تَشْوِيبٌ, means he defended him without
energy: and thus this latter is expl. in the K, as
is likewise شاب عنه: also that the Arabs say,
لَقِيتُ فُلَانًا اليَوْمَ يَشُوبُ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِ, meaning I
found such a one to-day defending his companions
in some measure. (TA.) [See also art. روب.] ―
2-b3-
شاب also signifies He acted treacherously, perfidiously, or unfaithfully: (Fr, TA:) he lied:
he deceived in selling or buying: and he acted
dishonestly, insincerely, or with dissimulation.
(IAar, TA.) ―
2-b4- [See also Har p. 448; where it is
implied that it signifies also He spoke truth, or
was veracious.]
