ض ب حḍ-b-ḥ
(ف) ضَبَحَ يَضْبَحُ ضَبْحًاḍabaḥa yaḍbaḥu ḍabḥan: of a horse, to pant while galloping and make a breathing sound. The lexicographers say that this sound is different from neighing; it comes from the intensity of the run. Only once in the Quran, and that as an oath at the beginning of a surah: ﴿وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا﴾ (Al-ʿĀdiyāt 100:1) — a verbal noun (maṣdar) in the accusative as a cognate accusative (mafʿūl muṭlaq) or a circumstantial accusative (ḥāl).
