وَهَبَ لَهُ شَيْئًا , (aor.
يَهَبُ, K; said to be
originally
يَوْهِبُ; which is changed into
يَهِبُ
because of the kesr; and then, into
يَهَبُ because
of the medial guttural letter; Msb, voce
وَسِعَ;)
inf. n.
وَهْبٌ and
وَهَبٌ and
هِبَةٌ (S, K) and
مَوْهِبٌ
and
مَوْهِبَةٌ, (Msb,) or the last two are substs.,
(S, K, &c.)
He gave him a thing; properly,
as
a free gift, disinterestedly, and not for any
compensation. (Msb, TA.) You should not
say
وَهَبَكَهُ [
he gave it to thee], (K, &c.,) making
the verb doubly trans.: (TA:) or [this is
allowable, as it is said that] AA has related this
on the authority of an Arab of the desert: so in
the K: but in the L, it is said that Seer has
related this, from 'Amr, (meaning Sb,) from an
Arab of the desert. (TA.) En-Nawawee allows
the expression
وَهَبُتُ كَذَا مِنْهُ, meaning,
I gave
such a thing to him, &c.; (
من being redundant,
as in
بِعْتُ كَذَا مِنْهُ “ I sold such a thing to
him; ”) as occurring in several trads. (MF.) ―

2-b3-
وَهَبَنِىٱللّٰهُ فِدَاكَ May God make me
[or
give me as]
thy ransom! (IAar, K.)
وُهِبْتُ فِدَاكَ May I be made [or
given as]
thy
ransom! Ibn-Umm-Kásim says, that
وهب is
one of the verbs which signify
He caused to be,
or
to become: and he cites the above phrase
from IAar; and adds, that the verb is only used
in the pret. tense. Others assert it to be rare.

2-b4-
هَبْنِى فَعَلْتُ ذٰلِكَ Suppose me; syn.
ظُنَّنِى; (AHei, cited by Fei;) or
count me, or
reckon me; syn.
أُحْسُبْنِى وَٱعْدُدْنِى; (M, K;)
[or
grant me;]
to have done that. (M, K. *)
هَبْ زَيْدًا مَنْطَلِقًا Suppose Zeyd to be going away,
or
gone away; syn.
إِحْسَبْ. (So in two copies
of the S: in another,
أُحْسُبْ.) Thus this verb is
doubly trans.: (S:) but it is not used in this
sense in the pret., nor in the aor.: (S, K:) you
do not say
وَهَبْتُكَ فَعَلْتَ ذٰلِكَ [
I supposed thee to
have done that]: nor (as some assert, Msb,) do
you say
هَبْ أَنِّى فَعَلْتُ, (TA,) as say the vulgar,
though what the grammarians say, respecting
the class of verbs to which
ظَنَنْتُ belongs, that
أَنَّ and
إِنَّ [with what follows them] may supply
the place of the two objective complements, [as
when you say
ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ زَيْدًا قَائِمٌ, and
ظننت إِنَّ
زَيْدًا لَقَائِمٌ, “ I thought Zeyd to be standing, ”]
affords matter for controverting this. (Msb.)
