سَلَبَهُ

, (S, A, K,) aorist سَلُبَ , (TA,) verbal noun سَلْبٌ (S, K) and سَلَبٌ, (K,) from the former of which the plural سُلُوبٌ has been formed, on the authority of hearsay, (El-Jurjánee, Msb in article قصد,) He seized it, or carried it off, by force; (S, A, K;) as also ↓ استلبهُ. (S, K.) You say, سَلَبَهُ الشَّىْءَ, aorist سَلُبَ , verbal noun سَلْبٌ and سَلَبٌ; and إِيَّاهُ ↓ استلبهُ; (M, TA;) He seized, or carried off, by force [from him the thing; or he spoiled him, despoiled him, plundered him, or deprived him, of the thing]. (TA.) And سَلَبْتُهُ ثَوْبَهُ, (Mgh, * Msb,) aorist سَلُبَ , (Msb,) verbal noun سَلْبٌ, (Mgh, Msb,) I took away from him his garment; (Mgh, * Msb;) as also ↓ اسلبتهُ [perhaps a mistranscription for ↓ استلبتهُ, but another instance of the former of these two verbs, in a similar sense, occurs in what follows]: originally, سَلَبْتُ ثَوْبَ زيَدٍْ [I took away the garment of Zeyd]; but the verb has been made to have زيد for its object, and the ثوب is postponed, and put in the accusative case as a specificative [though by rule the specificative should be indeterminate]; and it may be suppressed, [so that you may say simply, سَلَبْتُهُ, meaning I took away from him what was upon him or with him, spoiled him, or plundered him,] the meaning being understood. (Msb.)

[Hence] one says also, سَلَبَهُ فُوءَادَهُ وَعَقْلَهُ (tropical:) [He, or it, despoiled him, or deprived him, of his heart and his reason], and ↓ اسلبهُ. (A, TA.) [The latter one might think to be a mistranscription for ↓ استلبهُ were it not for an instance of the same verb before men- tioned, and for the fact that it is immediately followed in the A by وَهُوَ مُسْلَبُ العَقْلِ: perhaps, however, مُسْلَب may be here a mistake for مُسْلِب.]

And اُسْلُبْ هٰذِهِ القَصَبَةَ (assumed tropical:) Peel thou this cane, or reed. (TA.)

[In grammar and logic, سَلْبٌ is used to signify (assumed tropical:) Privation, or deprivation, in a general sense; and (assumed tropical:) negation; opposed to إِثْبَاتٌ and إِيجَابٌ.]

-A2- سَلْبٌ [as a verbal noun of which the verb (apparently سَلَبَ) is not mentioned] (assumed tropical:) The going, or journeying, lightly and quickly. (M, K.) Ru-beh says,

قَدْ قَدَّحَتْ مِنْ سَلْبِهِنَّ سَلْبَا

قَارُورَةُ العَيْنِ فَصَارَتْ وَقْبَا

(assumed tropical:) [The black of the eye became depressed so that it became a hollow in consequence of their going with much lightness and quickness: سَلْبَا, for سَلْبًا, being an absolute complement to the verbal noun in سَلْبِهِنَّ]. (M. [See also 7.])

-A3- سَلِبَ [or سَلِبَتْ, as appears from what follows], aorist سَلَبَ , (assumed tropical:) He [or she] put on black garments (K, TA) which women wear at assemblies for the purpose of mourning. (TA. [See also 5.])
