طَابَ , aor. يَطِيبُ, (S, Msb, K, &c.,) inf. n.
طِيبٌ (S [but there mentioned app. as a subst.],
O, Mgh, Msb, K) and طِيبَةٌ (S, O, K) and طَابٌ
(K) and طُوبَى [q. v. infrà] (Ksh and Bd in
xiii. 28) and تَطْيَابٌ, (S, K,) [the last of which
is of a measure denoting intensiveness, and is
said in the TA to be with fet-h because it is
unsound, whereas the inf. n. of a sound verb,
if of the measure تفعال, is with kesr, but this
is a strange mistake, (see 2 in art. بين,)] It was,
or became, the contr. of خَبِيث, (S, Mgh,) in two
senses: (Mgh:) [i. e.] it was, or became, [good,]
pleasant, delightful, delicious, sweet, or savoury;
syn. لَذَّ; (A, K;) or كَانَ لَذِيذًا; (Msb;) or it
was esteemed [good,] pleasant, delightful, delicious,
sweet, or savoury, in taste, and in odour:
(Mgh:) and it was, or became, pure, (Mgh,
K,) or clean. (Mgh.) [See also طَيِّبٌ.] ―

[Hence,] طَابَتْ نَفْسُهُ (assumed tropical:) His mind [or he himself]
was, or became, [cheerful, happy, pleased,] dilated,
or free from straitness. (Msb.) And طِبْتُ بِهِ
نَفْسًا i. q. طَابَتْ بِهِ نَفْسِى (assumed tropical:) [i. e. I, or my mind,
was, or became, cheerful, happy, pleased, or
dilated, by means of it; agreeably with what
next precedes: or pleased, content, or willing, to
grant, concede, give, or do, it]: (S, O, K:) [for]
طَابَتْ نَفْسُهُ بِالشَّىْءِ [often] signifies (tropical:) He granted,
conceded, or gave, the thing, liberally, [willingly,
or of his own good pleasure,] without constraint,
and without anger. (TA.) And فَعَلْتُ ذٰلِكَ
بِطِيبَةِنَفْسٍ (assumed tropical:) I did that [of my own free will;
willingly;] not being constrained by any one. (S,
O.) And طَابَتْ نَفْسِى عَلَيْهِ (assumed tropical:) [My mind was
agreeable to it]; said when a thing is agreeable,
or suitable, to one's mind; and [in like manner]
طِبْتُ نَفْسًا عَلَيْهِ. (TA.) And طَابَتْ نَفْسُهُ لِلْعَمَلِ
وَغَيْرِهِ [He was cheerful, happy, pleased, or
willing, to do work &c.]. (K in art. نشط.) And
طَابَتْ نَفْسِى عَنْ ذٰلِكَ تَرْكًا (assumed tropical:) [I was pleased,
willing, or content, to leave, give up, relinquish,
or be without, that]; and [in like manner] طِبْتُ
نَفْسًا عَنْهُ: whence, in the Kur [iv. 3], فَإِنْ طِبْنَ
لَكُمْ عَنْ شَىْءٍ مِنْهُ نَفْسًا (assumed tropical:) [But if they be pleased,
or willing, or content, to give up, or relinquish, or
remit, unto you somewhat thereof]. (TA.) ―
2-b3-
And طاب, (A, O, Msb, TA,) inf. n. طِيبٌ (Msb,
K) and طِيبَةٌ, (K,) (tropical:) It was, or became, lawful,
allowable, or free. (A, O, Msb, K, * TA.) [In
the K, الطِّيبُ and الطِّيبَةُ are expl. as meaning
الحِلُّ, which Golius has supposed to mean in this
case “ quod licitum, legitimum; ” and which
Freytag has in like manner expl. as meaning
“ res licita, ” and “ licitum: ” but it is here an
inf. n., of حَلَّ; not syn. with the epithet الحَلَالُ,
which is given as an explanation of الطَّيِّبُ.]
You say, طَابَ لِى كَذَا (tropical:) Such a thing became,
or has become, lawful, &c., to me. (A.) Hence
the saying of Aboo-Hureyreh, اَلْآنَ طَابَ الضِّرَابُ,
(TA,) or طَابَ ٱمْضَرْبُ, (O, TA,) as some relate
it, accord. to the dial. of Himyer, (TA,) meaning
طَاب ٱلضَّرْبُ, i. e. (assumed tropical:) Now fighting has become lawful. (O, TA.) فَٱنْكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ, in
the Kur [iv. 3], means (assumed tropical:) [Then take ye in marriage] such as are lawful to you [of women].

2-b4- And طَابَتِ الأَرْضُ, (K, TA,) inf. n.
طِيبٌ, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) The land became abundant in
herbage. (K, TA.) ＝
