(M, TA.) [Hence,] قَعَدْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِ فُلَانٍ andالى جَانِبِ↓ فلانٌ [I sat by the side of such a one]: both meaning the same. (Ṣ.) Andإِنَّهُ لَمُنْتَفِخُ الجَوَانِبِ↓ [Verily he is inflated in the side]: جوانب being here one of those words which are used in the sing. sense though in the pl. form. (Lḥ, TA.) And أَعْطَاهُ الجَنْبَ [lit. He gave him the side; meaning] he was, or became, submissive, manageable, easy, or tractable, to him. (A.) And جَارُ الجَنْبِ He who cleaves to one, keeping by one's side. (Ḳ. [Differing from جَارُ الجُنُبِ, q. v. infrà.]) And الصَّاحِبُ بِالجَنْبِ [in the Ḳur iv. 40] The travelling-companion; the companion in a journey: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) or he who is near one; or by one's side: or the companion in every good affair: or the husband: or the wife. (TA.) And ذَاتُ الجَنْبِ, (Ṣ, A, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ, &c.,) with which الجُنَابُ↓ is syn., (Ḳ,) [and sometimes الجَنْبُ, as will be seen in what follows,] A well-known disease; (Mgh;) [the pleurisy; called by the first of these three appellations in the present day;] a severe disease, being an inflammatory tumour in the [pleura, or] membrane within the ribs: (Mṣb:) or an ulcer, or a purulent pustule, that comes within a man's side: (Ṣ, TA:) it is a severe disease in the side: accord. to El-Hejeree, it is in either side; and they assert that when it is in the left side, the patient perishes: accord. to ISh, the دُبَيْلَة; which is an ulcer that penetrates into the belly: or the ulcer (دُبَيْلَة and دُمَّل) that comes forth within the side, and discharges internally; the sufferer from which seldom recovers: he who suffers from it [and dies in consequence], or, as some say, he who is afflicted by a complaint of the side (absolutely) while warring in the cause of God, is reckoned a martyr: (TA:) [soldiers in a campaign are notoriously more subject to it than persons in most other circumstances; and it is app. for this reason that] it is termed دَآءُ الصَّنَادِيدِ [the disease of the courageous chiefs].

(L, TA.) It is said that the primary signification of جَنْبٌ is the part of the body mentioned in the beginning of this paragraph, and that its use in the sense of نَاحيَةٌ is metaphorical, as is the case of يَمِينٌ and شِمَالٌ; but نَاحِيَةٌ is mentioned in the Mṣb as the primary signification of جَانِبٌ↓; (MF, TA;) though its primary signification accord. to the Ḳ and ISd seems to be that first mentioned.

Andفُلَانٌ لَا يَطُورُ بِجَنَبَتِنَا↓ Such a one will not approach our quarter: (Ṣ:) thus accord. to AO; with fet-ḥ to the ن: IJ, however, says, people are wont to say,أَنَا فِى ذَرَاكَ وَجَنَبَتِكَ↓ [meaning I am under thy protection and in thy quarter]; but that the correct expression is جَنْبَتِكَ↓, with the ن quiescent. (IB, TA.) The Arabs also said,الحَرُّ جَانِبَىْ↓ سُهَيْلٍ, meaning † The heat is on either side of Suheyl [or Canopus: i. e., during the period next before, and that next after, the auroral rising of Canopus; which rising began, in central Arabia, at the commencement of the era of the Flight, about the 4th of August, O.

(TA.)

يَا حَسْرَتَا عَلَى مَا فَرَّطْتُ فِى جنْبِ ٱللّٰهِ [in the Ḳur xxxix. 57] means فى جَانِبِه↓, i. e. † [O my grief, or regret, for my negligence, or remissness,] in respect of that which is the right, or due, of God! (A, Bḍ, TA,) i. e., (Bḍ,) in respect of obedience to God! (Bḍ, Jel:) or, in respect of [the means of attaining] nearness to God! (Fr, TA;) or, nearness to God in Paradise! (IAạr, TA:) or, in respect of the way of God, to which He hath called me! i. e., the profession of his unity, and the confession of the prophetic office of Moḥammad. (Zj, TA.)

[O my two friends, refrain, and be mindful of God in respect of my reputation; (see also جَانِبٌ;)] meaning, in detracting from my reputation, or reviling me: or, accord. to MF, in my case. (TA.) And one says, مَا فَعَلْتَ فِى جَنْبِ حَاجَتِىWhat didst thou, or what hast thou done, in the case of the thing that I want? (L, TA.)
