ذَبِيحٌ

and ↓ مَذْبُوحٌ signify the same [i. e. Cut, or divided, lengthwise; &c.: see 1]. (S, Msb, K, TA.) You say مِسْكٌ ذَبِيحٌ [for ذَبِيحٌ فَأْرَتُهُ], meaning (assumed tropical:) [Musk of which the follicle, or vesicle, is] ripped open. (A. [It is there said to be tropical: but see 1.])

Both are [also] applied to an animal, (Msb,) or a sheep or goat, (TA,) [or an animal of the ox-kind, and a sheep or goat, and the like, (see 1,)] as meaning Slaughtered, in the manner described in the first paragraph of this article: (TA:) the feminine of ذَبِيحٌ is with ة: (S, TA: [see ذَبِيحَةٌ below:]) but ذَبِيحٌ is used as a feminine epithet without the addition of ة: you say شَاةٌ ذَبِيحٌ as well as كَبْشٌ ذَبِيحٌ, because ذَبِيحٌ is an instance of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ; though you say شاة ذَبِيحَةٌ also; and in like manner نَاقَةٌ: the plural [of ذَبِيحٌ] is ذَبْحَى and ذَبَاحَى and [that of ذَبِيحَةٌ is] ذَبَايءِحُ. (TA.) Aboo-Dhu-eyb says, describing wine,

يُقَالُ لَهَا دَمُ الوَدَجِ الذَّبِيحُ

meaning المَذْبُوحُ عَنْهُ, i. e. [One would call it the blood of the external jugular vein,] for which it had been slit [to let it flow]. (AAF, TA.) And again he says,

وَسِرْبٍ تَطَلَّى بِالعَبِيرِ كَأَنَّهُ

دِمَاءُ ظِبَاءُ بِالنُّحُورِ ذَبِيحُ

[apparently meaning And many a bevy of women rubbed over with perfume compounded with saffron, as though it were the blood of gazelles, the gazelles whereof had been slaughtered in the upper parts of the breasts]: he applies ذبيح as an epithet to دماء, meaning ذَبِيحٌ ظِبَاوءُهُ; and he applies it as an epithet to a plural n. because it is of the measure فَعِيلٌ [in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ], for such an epithet is applicable to masculine and feminine and singular and plural nouns. (TA.)

ذَبِيحٌ also signifies An animal that is fit, or proper, to be slaughtered as a sacrifice: (ISk, S, K:) [or that is destined, or prepared, for sacrifice; i. e., an intended victim; like ذِبْحٌ; as appears from the fact that] الذَّبِيحُ is (assumed tropical:) a surname of Ismá'eel, or Ishmael; (K, * TA;) for, according to some [or rather the generality] of the Muslims, he was the son whom Abraham designed to sacrifice, though others say it was Isaac: (TA:) and أَنَا ابْنُ الذَّبِيحَيْنِ occurs in a tradition [as said by Mohammad, meaning (assumed tropical:) I am the son of the two intended victims; namely, Ismá'eel and 'Abd-Allah]; for 'Abd-El-Muttalib incurred the obligation to sacrifice his son 'Abd-Allah, the father of the Prophet, by reason of a vow, and ransomed him with a hundred camels. (K, * TA.)

Also (tropical:) A slain man. (A.)
