المأبون أي الذي لا يقدر على ترك أن يؤتى في دبره لدودة ونحوها … وحاصله أن المأبون هو الذي يطلب أن يؤتى بخلاف المعفوج … وفسره في التاترخانية بالمضروب في الدبر وفي القاموس عفج يعفج ضرب
رد المحتار على الدر المختار لإبن عابدين كتاب الحدود باب التعزير
A sodomite [ma'bun] is a man who can not stop getting done in his rear, due to a worm or something similar … In essence he [Al-Haskafi] is saying that a sodomite is a man who asks to get done, as opposed to a man who is simply stricken [ma'fuj, from 'afaja] … This is explained in Al-tatarkhaniyya as a man who is mounted in the rear; in the dictionary 'afaja means to strike/mount [daraba].
