حَسِيبٌ

A reckoner, or taker of accounts: [see also حَاسِبٌ:] or a sufficer, or giver of what is sufficient; (K, TA;) from أَحْسَبَ, of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مُفْعِلٌ. (TA.) It has the former of these significations, or the latter, in the phrase, كَفَى بِاللّٰهِ حَسِيبًا [God is sufficient as a reckoner, or as a giver of what sufficeth], (Fr, K, TA,) in the Qur'an, 4:7, and xxxiii. 39]: (TA:) and so in the Qur'an, 4:88. (TA.)

[Hence,] حَسِيبُكَ اللّٰهُ, (S, K,) in the L اللّٰهُ ↓ حَسْبُكَ, (TA,) [both of which phrases are used in the present day in the sense here following,] May God take, or execute, vengeance upon thee; or punish thee: (S, L, K:) meaning an imprecation though literally predicatory. (IAmb, Har p. 371.) [See also حُسْبَانُكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ, voce حَسَبَ.]

-A2- Also Characterized, or distinguished, by what is termed, حَسَبٌ as explained above [i. e. grounds of pretension to respect or honour; &c.]: (S, K:) generous, liberal, honourable, or noble: (Msb:) bountiful, or munificent: and having a numerous household: (Az, Mgh:) plural حُسَبَاءُ. (A, K.)
