Definition of Syb
As-sa'iba: one that grazes freely without being turned away from any watering place or pasture.
The Almighty says: 'Allah has not instituted bahira, nor sa'iba' (Al-Ma'ida 103), criticizing pre-Islamic superstitions concerning livestock consecrated to idols.
Allah has not appointed [such innovations as] bahirah or sa'ibah or wasilah or ham. But those who disbelieve invent falsehood about Allah, and most of them do not reason.
