حَبَّ [signifying He, or it, was, or became,
loved, beloved, an object of love, affected, liked,
or approved, is originally حَبُبَ or حَبِبَ]. You
say, حَبَّ إِلَىَّ هٰذَا الشَّىْءُ, [aor.
حَبُ3َ or
حَبَ3َ ,] inf. n.
حُبٌّ, This thing was, or became, an object of love
to me. (K. [The meaning is there indicated, but
not expressed. In the CK, الشَّىءَ is erroneously
put for الشَّىْءُ.]) And حَبُبْتُ إِلَيْهِ I became loved,
beloved, or an object of love, to him: [said to be]
the only instance of its kind except شَرُرْتُ and
لَبُبْتُ. (K.) And مَا كُنْتَ حَبِيبًا وَلَقَدْ حَبِبْتَ, with
kesr, Thou wast not loved, and thou hast become
loved. (S.) See also 5. ―
2-b2- حَبَّ, formed from
حَبُبَ, by making the former ب quiescent and incorporating it into the latter, is also a verb of
praise [signifying Beloved, lovely, pleasing, charming, or excellent, is he, or it]; (TA;) and so حُبَّ,
[which is more common,] formed from the same,
by incorporating the former ب into the latter
after transferring the dammeh of the former to the
ح. (ISk, S, TA.) A poet says,
وَزَادَهُ كَلَفًا فِى الحُبِّ أَنْ مَنَعَتْ
وَحَبَّ شَيْئًا الَى الانْسَانِ مَا مُنِعَا
[And her denying increased his devotion in love:
for lovely, as a thing, to man, is that which is
denied]. (TA.) And Sá'ideh says,
هَجَرَتْ غَضُوبُ وَحَبَّ مَنْ يَتَجَنَّبُ
وَعَدَتْ عَوَادٍ دُونَ وَلْيِكَ تَشْعِبُ
[Ghadoob hath forsaken thee, (and lovely is the
person who withdraweth far away,) and obstacles
in the way of thy drawing near have occurred to
separate thee and her]. (S, TA.) [See also حَبَّذَا,
below.] ―
2-b3- [Both are also verbs of wonder.] You
say, حَبَّ بِفُلَانٍ, (As, S, and so in copies of the
K,) and حُبَّ, (I 'Ak p. 236, [where both forms
are mentioned as correct,] and so in the CK,)
How beloved, or lovely, &c., is such a one (As,
S, K) to me! (As, S.) [See also 4.] A'Obeyd
and Fr read this حَبَّ, saying that it means حَبُبَ
بفلان, and that the former ب is rendered quiescent by the suppression of its dammeh, and incorporated into the latter. (S, * TA.) ＝
1-A2- See also
4, in two places. ＝
1-A3- Also حَبَّ, [aor., accord. to
analogy,
حَبِ3َ ,] He stood still, stopped, or paused.
(K.) ＝
1-A4- And حُبَّ, with damm, He was fatigued,
or tired. (K.)
