لَبَابٌ

(as in the K) or لَبَابَةٌ (as in the L) A little of pasture, or herbage; (K;) what is not extensive thereof. (AHn.)

لَبَابِ لَبَابِ, said by the Arabs to a man on the occasion of becoming favourably disposed towards him, (Yoo,) No harm, No harm. Syn. لَا بَأْسَ. (K.) ISd thinks it to be from a preceding meaning; [that of “ keeping, or adhering ”;] observing that when one dispels evil from another, he [the latter] loves to adhere to him: [so that it seems to be an imp. verbal n., like نَزَالِ &c., meaning keep with me, and fear not]. (TA.)
