Words that rhyme with Stabbed
There's a particular shape to stabbed: two-syllable, built on the mid /ษ/, ending that lands on a stopped consonant. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. In a song, the word is a household-word. Behind it, the rhyme map shows the strict-rhyme column is bounded, family-rhyme matches contribute a small near-perfect column, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. Family rhymes give you slants that still feel like rhymes; lean on them when the strict pool fatigues.

Why stabbed rhymes the way it does
Stabbed is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the mid /ษ/, then it lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 6 matches, family rhymes 23, additive and subtractive together 44, assonance 6,655, and consonance 56. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for stabbed tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
