قَبُحَ, (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ, &c.,) aor. ـُ {يَقْبُحُ}, (Mṣb, Ḳ,) inf. n. قُبْحٌ↓, (Mṣb, Ḳ,) [or this, accord. to the Ṣ, seems to be a simple subst.,] and قَبْحٌ (Ḳ) and قَبَاحَةٌ (Ṣ, Ḳ) and قُبُوحَةٌ and قُبُوحٌ and قُبَاحٌ, (Ḳ,) He, or it, (a form, and an action, L, and anything, T,) was, or became, bad, evil, abominable, foul, unseemly, unsightly, ugly, or hideous; contr. of حَسُنَ. (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ, TA, &c.) One says of a man, قَبُحَ وَشَقُحَ [app. using the latter v. as an imitative sequent]: and جَآءَ بِالقَبَاحَةِ وَالشَّقَاحَةِ [He did, or said, what was bad or evil, &c.]. (Ḳ in art. شقح.) Andاُقْبُحْ إِنْ كُنْتَ قَابِحًا↓ Be thou bad or evil, &c., if thou be desirous of becoming so: andمَا هُوَ بِقَابِحٍ↓ قَوْقَ مَا قَبُحَ He is not becoming bad, &c., or will not become bad, &c., above the degree in which he has become so: and in like manner one says in similar cases. (Lḥ, L.)

لَا تَقْبَحُوا الوَجْهَ, occurring in a trad., means Say not ye that the face is قَبِيح [i. e. unseemly, unsightly, ugly, or hideous]; because God formed it: or the meaning is, say not ye قَبَحَ ٱللّٰهُ وَجْهَ فُلَانٍ [expl. in what follows]. (L.)

And قَبَحَهُ ٱللّٰهُ, (Ṣ, A, Mṣb, Ḳ, TA, &c., [in the CK قَبَّحَهُ,]) aor. ـَ {يَقْبَحُ}, (Mṣb,) inf. n. قَبْحٌ and قُبُوحٌ, (AZ, L, TA,) God removed him, or may God remove him, (Ṣ, A, Mṣb, Ḳ, &c.,) far, (A, TA,) from good, or prosperity, (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) or from all that is good; (L, TA;) [or from success, or the attainment of that which he deserves or seeks; (see the pass. part. n.;)] like as one does the dog and the pig: (AZ, L, TA:) [or God drove him away, or may God drive him away, like a dog: or God rendered him, or may God render him, foul, unseemly, unsightly, ugly, or hideous, in form: (see, again, the pass. part. n.:)] andقَبَّحَهُ↓ ٱللّٰهُ has a similar, but intensive, signification. (Mṣb.) One says, قَبْحًا لَهُ [an elliptical expression, a verb and its agent being understood, i. e., with these supplied, (May God decree) removal far from good,, &c., to him; or (cause) removal, &c. (to cleave) to him; meaning may removal, &c. betide him]; (Ṣ;) andقُبْحًا↓ (Ṣ, A) also, (Ṣ,) with damm; (A;) [i. e. foulness,unseemliness, unsightliness, ugliness, or hideousness;] andقُبْحًا↓ لَهُ وَشُقْحًا; (L, Ḳ, TA;) and قَبْحًا لَهُ وَشَقْحًا; in which شقحا is [said to be] an imitative sequent. (L, TA: but see art. شقح.)

قَبَحْتُ لَهُ وَجْهَهُ, [thus,] without teshdeed, means I said to him, قَبَحَ ٱللّٰهُ وَجْهَكَ [i. e. May God remove thee far from good,, &c., for وَجْهَكَ is here put for نَفْسَكَ, the phrase being] from القَبْحُ signifying “the removing far [from good, &c.].” (AA, L. [See an ex. in a verse cited in art. سبح, conj. 2.])

And قَبَحَ (IAạr, L, Ḳ, TA, [accord. to the CK قبّح, and so in one of two copies of the A, but the former is the right, as is shown by the form of the aor. in an ex. in the TA,]) He broke a purulent pustule (in his face, L,) in order that the matter might come forth: (L, Ḳ, TA:) or he squeezed a purulent pustule to express its contents before it was ripe: (A, TA:) and [in like manner] he broke an egg, (Ḳ,) or anything. (L.)

قبّحهُ He (i. e. God) rendered him, or it, bad, evil, abominable, foul, unseemly, unsightly, ugly, or hideous. (L.)

See also the preceding paragraph {1}, near the middle.

استقبحهُ He regarded him, or it, as bad, evil, abominable, foul, unseemly, unsightly, ugly, or hideous; (TA;) contr. of استحسنهُ. (Ṣ,* Ḳ.)

قُبْحٌ [either an inf. n. or a simple subst.; much used as a simple subst., andمَقَابِحُ↓, q. v., may be an anomalous pl. thereof, like as مَحَاسِنُ is said to be of its contr. حُسْنٌ]: see 1, first sentence; and again, in two places, in the latter half.

قَبِيحٌ Bad, evil, abominable, foul, unseemly, unsightly, ugly, or hideous; contr. of حَسَنٌ; (Ṣ, L, Mṣb, Ḳ, &c.;) applied to a form, and to an action, (L,) and to anything: (T:) pl. قِبَاحٌ and قَبَاحَى and قَبْحَى: fem. قَبِيحَةٌ; pl. قَبَائِحُ and قِبَاحٌ. (Ḳ.)
