اجر

1 أَجَرَهُ, aor. ـُ and اَجِرَ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) which latter form of the aor. , though known to most of the lexicologists, is disacknowledged by a few of them, (TA,) inf. n. أَجْرٌ; (S, Msb;) and ↓ آجرهُ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) a form disacknowledged by As, but said by some to be the more chaste of the two, of the form أَفْعَلَ, not فَاعَلَ, as IKtt by evident inadvertence makes it to be by saying that its aor. is يُؤَاجِرُ, (TA,) inf. n. إِيجَارٌ; (S;) He (God, S, A, Mgh, Msb, and a man, Mgh) recompensed, compensated, or rewarded, him, (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) عَلَي مَا فَعَلَ for what he had done. (A.) [See أَجْرٌ, below.] أُجِرَ فُلَانٌ خَمْسَةً مِنْ وَلَدِهِ [Such a one became entitled to a reward for five of his children, by their death, (for it is believed that the Muslim will be rewarded in Paradise for a child that has died in infancy)], (S,) and أُجِرَ وَلَدَهُ, (A,) and أُجِرَ فِي أَوْلَادِهِ, (K,) mean that his children died, and became [causes of] his reward. (S, A, K.) b2: أَجَرَهُ, (K,) aor. ـُ (S,) [He served him for hire, pay, or wages;] he became his hired man, or hireling. (S, K.) So in the Kur xxviii. 27. (TA.) b3: أَجَرَهُ, aor. ـُ (L, Msb, K,) and اَجِرَ, (Msb, K,) inf. n. أَجْرٌ, (L, K,) He let him (namely his slave) on hire, or for pay, or wages; (L, * Msb, * K;) as also ↓ آجرهُ, inf. n. إِيجَارٌ; ('Eyn, Mgh, Msb, K;) and ↓ آجرهُ, inf. n. مؤاجرة: (K:) all these are good forms of speech, used by the Arabs: (L:) or ↓ آجرهُ having for its inf. n. مؤاجرة signifies he appointed him (namely another man) hire, pay, or wages, for his work; (Mj, Mgh;) or he engaged with him to give him hire, pay, or wages; (A, Mgh, Msb;) and can have only one objective complement: whereas, ↓ when it is of the measure أَفْعَلَ it is doubly trans.; (Mgh, Msb;) so that one says, مَمْلُوكَهُ ↓ آجَرَنِي He let me his slave on hire. (Mgh.) One also says, أَجَرَ الدَّارَ, aor. ـُ and اَجِرَ, inf. n. أَجْرٌ, He let the house on hire; and so الدَّارَ ↓ آجر, [inf. n. إِيجَارٌ:] (Msb, TA:) and الدَّارَ ↓ آجرهُ, [inf. n. إِيجَارٌ,] He let to him the house on hire: (S, A, Mgh, Msb:) the latter verb being of the measure أَفْعَلَ, not of the measure فَاعَلَ: (A, Mgh, Msb:) and the vulgar say, وَاجَرَ: (S:) some, however, say, الدَّارَ ↓ آجَرْتُ, inf. n. مُؤَاجَرَةٌ, making the verb of the measure فاعل: (Msb, TA:) some also say, الدَّارَ زَيْدَّا ↓ آجَرْتُ [I let the house to Zeyd], inverting the order of the words: (Msb, TA:) and the lawyers say, الدَّارَ مِنْ زَيْدٍ ↓ آجَرْتُ [in the same sense, like as بِعْتُ مِنْ زَيْدٍ الدَّارِ means the same as بِعْتُ زَيْداً الدَّارَ]. (Msb: [but in the Mgh, the like of this is said to be vulgar.]) 3 آجر, inf. n. مُؤَاجَرَةٌ: see 1, latter half, in three places: and see 10. One says also, of a woman, (K,) or a whorish female slave, (TA,) آجَرَتْ, [of the measure فَاعَلَتْ, not أَفْعَلَتْ, (see مُؤْجِرٌ, below,)] meaning She prostituted herself for hire. (K.) 4 آجَرَتٌ, inf. n. إِيجَارٌ: see 1, first sentence: b2: and see the latter half of the same paragraph, in seven places.8 ائتجر [written with the disjunctive alif اِيتَجَرَ] He gave alms, seeking thereby to obtain a reward [from God]: (L, K *:) and ائتجربِهِ He gave it as alms, seeking thereby a reward. (L.) اتَّجَرَ for ائتجر is not allowable, because ء cannot be incorporated into ت: [or, accord. to some, this is allowable, as in اتَّزَرَ for ائتزر, and اتَّمَنَ for ائتمن, &c.:] Hr allows it; and cites an ex. in a trad.; but IAth says that the proper reading in this instance is يَأْتَجِرُ, not يَتَّجِرُ; or, if the latter be allowed, it is from التِّجَارَةُ, not from الأَجْرُ. (L.) b2: اُوتُجِرَ عَلَيْهِ بِكَذَا [in which the radical ء is changed into و because the alif preceding it is made disjunctive and with damm, (in one copy of the S, and in the L and TA, erroneously written اِيْتَجَرَ,) He was hired to do it for such a sum or thing, (see مُؤْتَجَرٌ, below,)] is from الأُجْرَةُ. (S, L.) 10 استأجرهُ, (S, K,) and ↓ آجرهُ, (K,) [the latter of the measure فَاعَلَ, as has been clearly shown above, from the A and Mgh and Msb,] He hired him; took him as a hired man, or hireling. (S, K, TA.) You say also, استأجر الدَّارَ [He hired the house; took it on hire]. (A, Mgh,) أَجْرٌ A recompense, compensation, or reward, (S, K, &c.,) for what one has done; (K;) i. q. ثَوَابٌ; (S;) as also ↓ إِجَارَةٌ and ↓ أَجَارَةٌ and ↓ أٌجَارَةٌ, (K,) of which three forms the first is the most generally known and the most chaste, (TA,) and ↓ أُجْرَةٌ: (TA:) or, as some say, there is a distinction between أَجْرٌ and ثَوَابٌ: El-'Eynee says, in the Expos. of El-Bukháree, that what is obtained by the fundamental practices of the law, and by obligatory religious services, is termed ثواب; and what is obtained by supererogatory acts of religion, اجر; for ثواب is properly a substitute for a thing itself; and اجر, for the profit arising from a thing; though each is sometimes used in the sense of the other: (TA:) it is well known that اجر signifies a recompense, or reward, from God to a man, for righteous conduct; (MF;) and ↓ إِجَارَةٌ, recompense, compensation, hire, pay, or wages, from one man to another, for work; (Mgh, MF;) and hence الأَجِيرُ; (MF;) and ↓ أُجْرَةٌ also has this latter signification, (Mgh, TA,) and is syn. with كِرَآءٌ; (S, Mgh, K;) [signifying likewise rent for a house, and the like;] but أَجْرٌ is used [sometimes] in the sense of إِجَارَةٌ and in that of أُجْرَةٌ: (Msb:) the pl. of أَجْرٌ is أُجُورٌ (Msb, K) and آجَارٌ; (K;) but the latter form was unknown to MF: (TA:) the pl. of ↓ أُجْرَةٌ is أَجَرٌ and أُجُرَاتٌ and أُجَرَاتٌ. (Msb.) [One says, أَجْرُكَ عَلَي اللّٰهِ Thy recompense is due from God. And, to console a person for the death of a relation or friend, عَظَّمَ اللّٰهُ أَجْرَكَ فِيهِ May God largely compensate thee for him! i. e., for the loss of him.] By the expression أَجْرٍ كِرِيمٍ in the Kur xxxvi. 10 is said to be meant Paradise. (TA.) b2: (tropical:) A dowry, or nuptial gift; a gift that is given to, or for, a bride: (K:) pl. أُجُورٌ: so in the Kur xxxiii. 49 [&c.]. (TA.) b3: (assumed tropical:) Praise; good fame. (K.) So, as some say, in the Kur xxix. 26. (TA.) أَجُرٌّ and أُجُرٌ: see آجُرٌّ.

(L, Msb.) إِجَارَةٌ and أَجَارَةٌ and أُجَارَةٌ: see أَجْرٌ, in four places. b2: إِجَارَةٌ also signifies The giving of usufructs for a compensation. (Mgh.) b3: And Land which its owners have let to him who will build upon it: so explained by the lawyers. (Mgh.) إِجَّارٌ (S, M, IAth, Mgh, K) and ↓ إِجَّارَةٌ (M) and ↓ إِنْجَارٌ (Mgh, K) The flat top, or roof, of a house, (S, M, IAth, Mgh, K,) that has not around it anything to prevent a person's falling from it: (M, * IAth:) of the dial. of the people of Syria and of El-Hijáz: (S:) pl.

إِجِّيرَى (ISk, K) and ↓ إِجْرِيَّا and ↓ إِجْرِيَّآءُ (S in art. هجر) A custom; a habit. (ISk, K, and S ubi suprà.) The hemzeh is said to be a substitute for ه [in هِجِّيرَى &c.] (TA.) You say, مَا زَالَ ذٰلِكَ إِجِّيرَاهُ That ceased not to be his custom, or habit. (ISk.) آجَرٌ and آجُرٌ and آجِرٌ, and the pls. آجُرُونَ and آجِرُونَ: see what next follows.

(Akh, Msb.) مُؤْجِرٌ One who lets on hire [a slave, or] a house: one should not say ↓ مُوَاجِرٌ; for this is wrong with respect to the classical language, and abominable with respect to the conventional acceptation and common usage; a foul reproach being meant thereby [as is shown by the explanation of آجَرَتْ, given above: or, accord to some, it is allowable when it relates to a house: (see أَجَرَهُ:) it seems to be disallowed only when used absolutely].

اكل

1 أَكَلَهُ, [aor. ـُ inf. n. أَكْلٌ and مَأْكَلٌ, [He ate it,] (S, K,) namely, food. (S.) Er-Rummánee says that أَكْلٌ properly signifies The swallowing food after chewing it; so that the swallowing of pebbles is not properly thus termed: (Msb:) or, accord. to Ibn-El-Kemál, the conveying, or transmitting, to the belly what may be chewed, whether [the thing be] chewed or not; so that it does not apply to milk, nor to سَوِيق: and as to the saying of the poet, مِنَ الآكِلِينَ المَآءَ ظُلْمًا فَمَا أَرَى

يَنَالُونَ خَيْرًا بَعْدَ أَكْلِهِمُ المَآءَ (assumed tropical:) [Of the eaters of what they purchase with the price of water, wrongfully, I do not see any attain good after their eating of what they have purchased with the price of the water,] he means a people who used to sell water and purchase with the price thereof what they would eat: (TA:) [for you say, أَكَلَ كَذَا as meaning (assumed tropical:) He ate the price of such a thing: see another ex. voce إِكَافٌ; and another voce ثَدْىٌ.] b2: The saying, in the Kur [v. 70], لَأَكَلُوا مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِنْ تَحْتِ

أَرْجُلِهِمْ [They should eat things above them and things beneath their feet] means, their means of subsistence should be made ample; (Bd, TA;) by the pouring of the blessings of the heaven and the earth upon them; or by the abundance of the fruit of the trees, and the produce of the grains sown; or by their being blessed with gardens of ripe fruits, so that they should gather them from the upper part of each tree, and pick up what should have fallen upon the ground. (Bd.) b3: اِنْقَطَعَ أَكْلُهُ [lit. His eating became cut off, or stopped,] means (tropical:) he died; [see also أُكُلٌ;] and so اِسْتَوْفَى أَكْلَهُ [lit. he completed his eating]. (TA.) b4: أَكَلَ رَؤْقَهُ [lit. He ate his life,] means (tropical:) he became extremely aged, and his teeth fell out, one after another.

Would any one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead?]; defamation, or defamation of the absent, being meant thereby.

(Sgh. K, TA.) b12: أَكْلُ السِّكِّينِ اللَّحْمَ means (tropical:) The knife's cutting the flesh. (TA.) b13: أَكَلَنِي رَأْسِى, inf. n. إِكْلَةٌ and أُكَالٌ and أَكَالٌ, (tropical:) My head itched.

He made people to eat my property, and made them to drink it,] means (tropical:) he fed men, or the people, with my property, or cattle. (S, K, TA.) b3: ظَلَّ مَالِى يُؤَكَّلُ وَ يُشَرَّبُ, (so in some copies of the K and in the TA,) or يُؤَكِّلُ ويُشَرِّبُ, (so in two copies of the S and in a copy of the K,) [of which the former is app. the right reading, as the lit. meaning seems to be My cattle passed the day made to eat and made to drink,] i. e., (tropical:) pasturing as they pleased. (S, K, TA.) b4: أكّلهُ الشَّىْءَ, inf. n. as above, (tropical:) He charged against him, or accused him of doing, the thing; as also ↓ آكلهُ, (K, TA,) inf. n. إِيكَالٌ. (TA.) In [some of] the copies of the K, for اِدَّعَاهُ, we here find, erroneously, دَعَاهُ. (TA.) You say, أَكَّلْتَنِى مَا لَمْ آكُلْ [lit. Thou hast made me to eat what I have not eaten,] meaning (tropical:) thou hast charged against me, or accused me of doing, what I have not done; as also ↓ آكَلْتَنِى. (S, TA.) So too, أَشْرَبْتَنِى مَا لَمْ أَشْرَبٌ.

And أَكلَ بِأَخِيهِ أُكْلَةً (assumed tropical:) [He ate a morsel by means of defaming his brother] is said, in a trad., of a man who is on terms of brotherhood with another, and then goes to his enemy, and speaks of him in a manner not good, in order that he may give him a present for doing so.

[See also أَكِلَةٌ, voce إِكْلَةٌ, where a similar meaning is assigned to the former of these two words; and the same seems to be indicated in the Msb.] b2: See also another signification voce إِكْلَةٌ. b3: بَهَا أُكَالٌ, said of a she-camel, (tropical:) She has an itching and annoyance in her belly, (S, K,) from the growth of the hair, (S,) or of the fur, (K,) of her fœtus.
