Yabo na nufin ba da shaida mai kyau game da mutum bayan ya yi wani abin a yaba; na burgewa ko kuma ana so ya aikata abin na burgewa ko na a yaba.

Jagora: Ka ji waƙa tana fita,
Gurin ɗan Bafillatana,
Abu kamar harsashi,
In na yi hushi harsashin ɗin me?
In dai waƙa ce,
Allah ya yarda. (Gusau, 2009:350).
A nan, za mu fahimci yabo da cewa wasu kalmomi ne da ake amfani da su wajen bayyana zahirin yadda mutum yake, shin waɗannan kalmomin da aka ambata ƙarya ce ko kuma gaskiya ce.

Domin karanta cikakken bayani a kan Yabon Gusau A Waƙoƙin Baka danna nan
