(TA.) -A2- غَبَطَهُ, aor. غَبِطَ ; (ISk, Az, S, Msb, K;) and غَبِطَهُ, aor. غَبَطَ ; (Ibn-Buzurj, Sgh, K;) inf. n. غَبْطٌ (ISk, Az, S, Msb, K) and غِبْطَةٌ, (S, K,) or the latter is a simple subst.; (Msb;) He regarded him [with unenvious emulation, i. e.] with a wish for the like of his condition, (ISk, Az, S,) meaning a good condition, (Az,) or for the like of that which he had attained, (Msb,) or for a blessing, (K,) and that it might not pass away, (ISk, K,) or without desiring that it should pass away, (Az, S, Msb,) from the latter person: (ISk, Az, S, Msb, K:) the doing so is not حَسَدٌ, (Az, S, Msb,) for this implies the desire that what is wished for may pass away from its possessor; (Az, Msb;) or it is a kind of حَسَد, of a more moderate quality: (Az:) or غِبْطَةٌ and غَبْطٌ have the signification shown above, and are also syn. with حَسَدٌ; (K;) this latter meaning is assigned to غَبْطٌ by IAar; and it is said that the Arabs use غَبْطٌ in the sense of حَسَدٌ metonymically; (TA;) [so that غَبَطَهُ and غَبِطَهُ may also mean (tropical:) he envied him; &c.; see an ex. in a prov. cited voce بَطْنٌ; but it is said that] حَسَدٌ, when it is for courage and the like, is syn. with غِبْطَةٌ, and then it implies admiration, without a wish that the thing admired may pass away from its possessor. (Msb in art. حسد.) You say, غَبَطَهُ بِهِ, (S,) and عَلَيْهِ, (IAth,) and فِيهِ, (Msb,) He regarded him with a wish for the like of it, meaning a thing or state which he had attained, without desiring that it should pass away from the latter person. (S, IAth, * Msb.) Mohammad was asked, “ Does الغَبْط injure? ” and he answered, “ Yes, like as الخَبْط injures: ” or, accord. to the relation of A'Obeyd, “ No, save as الخَبْط injures the [trees called] عِضَاه: ” (Az, TA:) [see خَبَطَ:] by الغيط meaning, accord. to some, الحَسَد: (TA:) or a kind thereof, of a more moderate quality; injurious, but not so injurious as الحسد whereby one wishes that a blessing may pass away from his brother; الخبط meaning the beating off the leaves of trees; after which they become replaced, without there resulting any injury therefrom to the stock and branches: moreover, الغبط sometimes occasions the smiting of its object with the evil eye. (Az, TA.) [See also غِبْطَةٌ, below.] -A3- Accord. to IKtt, غَبَطَ signifies also He lied; but perhaps it is a mistranscription for عَبَطَ, which has this meaning; for it is not mentioned by any other. (TA.)
