(Ibn-'Abbád, A, K.) The phrase رَأْسُهُ حُبُكٌ, in a description of Ed-Dejjál [or Antichrist], means The hair of his head is rimpled (مُتَكَسِّرٌ) by reason of crispness; like stagnant water, and sand, when the wind blows upon them, and they in consequence thereof become rippled (يَتَجَعَّدَانِ); and marked with streaks: or, as some say, it is الشَّعَرِ مُحَبَّكُ, as in the K, meaning the same; (TA;) or crisp-haired: (K:) or حُبُكُ الشَّعِرَ, (IDrd, K, * TA,) meaning the same: (TA:) or إِنَّ شَعَرَهُ حُبُكٌ حُبُكٌ: (S:) or رَأْسُهُ حُبُكٌ حُبُكٌ. (TA.) In the phrase, in the Qur'an, 51:7, وَ السَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الحُبُكِ, it is said that الحبك means the tracks of the stars, (S, Er-Rághib, TA,) and the milky way: or ideal tracks: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or streaks of clouds: (TA:) or beautiful طَرَايءِق [which is generally understood to mean, in this instance, streaks, or the like; but may also be rendered stages, one above another, to the number of seven]: (Zj, TA:) or structures, or construction: (Mujáhid, TA:) or beautiful construction. (I 'Ab, TA.) See also the paragraph, above, commencing with ذَاتِ الحُبْكِ.
