(K, TA.) 4 اطعمهُ, (Msb, K,) or اطعمهُ الطَّعَامَ, (S,) [inf. n. إِطْعَامٌ,] He fed him; or gave him to eat, or gave him food; (Msb, K;) [and so, accord. to modern usage, ↓ طعّمهُ.] b2: And [hence] اطعمهُ signifies also (tropical:) He supplied him with the means of subsistence: whence, in the Kur [li. 57], وَمَا أُرِيدُ
