صُبْحٌ

1.
(S, A, Msb, K, &c.) and صَبَاحٌ (Msb, K) and صَبِيحَةٌ (Msb, * K) and إِصْبَاحٌ and مُصْبَحٌ (K [or perhaps the last should be مَصْبَحٌ, q. v.]) Daybreak, or dawn; synonym فَجْرٌ; (S, A, Msb, K;) i. e. (so in the Msb, but in the K “ or ”) the beginning, or first part, of day: (Msb, K:) إِصْبَاحٌ is a verbal noun [verbal noun of أَصْبَحَ] used in the sense of صُبْح, in the Qur'an, 6:96, (Jel,) and is similar to إِبْكَارٌ; (TA;) [and مُصْبَحٌ is the n. of place and time from أَصْبَحَ:] the plural of صُبْحٌ is أَصْبَاحٌ; (K;) and thus some read in the Qur'an, 6:96. (Bd.) See also أَصْبَحُ. One says, أَتَيْتُهُ لِصُبْحِ خَامِسَةٍ and خامسة لِصِبْحِ, (S, K,) meaning [I came to him] in the morning (صَبَاح) [of the last] of five days; (K;) i. e., of a fifth day; (TK;) [or rather, of a fifth night, as the last word is feminine;] like as one says, لِمُِسْىِ خامسة. (S.)
