signifies

affair; or
I was, or

of the former meaning is the saying [in the Kur
xvii. 34],
لَا تَقْرَبُوا ٱلزِّنَا [
Commit not ye fornication, or
adultery; or, accord. to some, this is
an ex. of the latter meaning]; and hence one
says,
قَرِبْتُ المَرْأَةَ, inf. n.
قِرْبَانٌ, a metonymical
phrase, meaning
I compressed the woman: and
an ex. of the latter meaning is the saying,

لَا تَدْنُوا مِنْهُ [meaning
Approach not ye to doing, or
to entering upon,
the thing, or
place, that is prohibited, or
interdicted]. (Msb.) And the Arabs say, of a
man, when a thing has disquieted, or disturbed,
and grieved, him,
أَخَذَهُ مَا قَرُبَ وَمَا بَعُدَ, as though
meaning (assumed tropical:)
He became, or
has become, disquieted
by reason of near and remote circumstances of
his case: (O:) or
recent and old griefs took hold
upon him. (Mgh in art.
قدم. [See art.

دَنَا مِنِّى وَقَرُبَ is expl. by Zj as meaning
He drew

or with

or it is
syn. with ↓
تقارب, (S, O, K, TA,) signifying

it, drew near; (TA;) thus ↓
وَٱقْتَرَبَ
الوَعْدُ [in the Kur xxi. 97] signifies
تقارب [meaning
And the fulfilment of the promise shall draw
near]: (S, O, TA:) and you say,
اقترب مِنِّى
[meaning
He drew near to me]: (A:) it is also
said that is has a more particular signification
than
قَرُبَ; for it denotes intensiveness in
القُرْب;
thus says Ibn-'Arafeh; probably meaning that
it denotes labour and difficulty in the accomplishment of the act. (MF, TA.) ↓
تقرّب [likewise] is
syn. with [
قَرُبَ, i. e.]
دَنَا, in the phrase
تقرّب مِنْهُ: (O: [see
قَرُبَ مِنْهُ:]) or it signifies

(

instances,] signifies
