غَرْبِيبٌ

One of the most excellent kinds of grapes; (K;) a sort of grapes growing at Et-Táïf, in- tensely black, of the most exceuent, and most delicate, and blackest, of grapes. (TA.) [See an example in a verse cited voce عَجِيبَةٌ.]

Applied to an old man, Intensely black [apparently in the hair]: or whose hair does not become white, or hoary: (TA:) or, so applied, who blackens his white, or hoary, hair with dye: (K, TA:) occurring in a tradition, in which it is said that God hates such an old man: plural غَرَابِيبُ. (TA.)

أَسْوَدُ غِرْبِيبٌ means Intensely black: but if you say غَرَابِيبُ سُودٌ, you make the latter word a substitute for the former; because a word corroborative of one signifying a colour cannot precede; (S, K;) nor can the corroborative of any word: (Suh, MF:) or, according to Hr, غَرَابِيبُ سُودٌ [in the Qur'an, 35:25, relating to mountains, means Streaks having black rocks. (TA.)
