رَايءِبٌ

[act. particle n. of 1; Causing, or occasioning, doubt, or suspicion or evil opinion, &c.] IAar says that Aboo-Bekr is related to have said, in his charge to 'Omar, عَلَيْكَ بِالرَّايءِبِ مِنَ الأُمُورِ وَ إِيَّاك وَ الرَّايءِبَ مِنْهَا, which Th explains as meaning Keep thou to what is clear, free from dubiousness or confusedness, of affairs, and beware thou of, or avoid thou, what has in it dubiousness, or confusedness, thereof: (T, TA:) the first is from رَابَ of which the aorist is يَرُوبُ, said of milk; and the second is from رَابَ of which the aorist is يَرِيبُ. (TA.) [See also a verse cited voce رَايءِبٌ in article روب, and my remark thereon.]
