كسب
1 كَسَبَ,
aor. ـِ
inf. n. كَسْبٌ (
S,
K,
Msb) and كِسْبٌ (
K), He collected (wealth &c.]; (
S,
K;) as also ↓ اكتسبهُ. (
S.) This is the original signification. (
S.)
b2: [Hence,] He gained, acquired, or earned, wealth or the like; as also ↓ اكتسب. (
Msb.) كَسَبْتُ شَيْئًا and ↓ اكْتَسَبْتُهُ are
syn., [signifying I gained a thing]. (
S.)
b3: Hence [also], كَسَبَ and ↓ اكتسب (
S,
K,
Msb) and ↓ تكسّب (
K) He sought, sought after, or sought to gain, sustenance, or the like, (
S,
K,) for his family: (
Msb:) or كَسَبَ signifies he got, or obtained, or gained, acquired, or earned, [sustenance, &c.]; and ↓ اكتسب, he applied himself with art and diligence [to get, or obtain, or gain, acquire, or earn, sustenance &c.; he laboured to earn, or gain, sustenance]: (
Sb,
K:) [so] also ↓ تكسّب is explained by تَكَلَّفَ الكَسْبَ he applied himself, as to a task, to gain, &c. (
S.)
b4: كَسَبَ is also said to signify, and originally, both he sought, or sought after, [sustenance]; and he laboured in seeking, or seeking after, sustenance. (
TA.)
b5: ↓ اكتسب has a more intensive signification than كَسَبَ; and hence, in the last verse of the second chap. of the
Kur [لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ To it shall be given what reward it hath earned, and upon it shall be executed what punishment it hath drawn upon itself], the latter is used with reference to what is good; and the former, with reference to what is evil. (
IJ.) You say, كَسَبَ خَيْرًا (
tropical:) [He gained, or earned, or did, good]: and ↓ اكتسب شَرًّا (
tropical:) [He gained, or earned, or did, evil]. (
A.)
b6: [This distinction, however, is not always observed: for] كَسَبَ signifies, He did either a good or an evil deed: [because he who does so earns, or draws upon himself, reward or punishment.] (
Jel in ii. 281; and iii. 24; &c.) and ↓ اكتسب He committed an act of which he was accusable. (
Jel in xxxiii. 58.) كَسَبَ إِثْمًا and ↓ اكتسبهُ signify He [committed, or] burdened himself with (تَحَمَّلَ), a sin, or crime. (
Msb.)
b7: كَسَبَهُ مَالًا, (
S,
K,) and مالا ↓ اكسبهُ, (
IAar,
IAth,
K,) but the former is the more approved: the latter is by
Fr and some others rejected: (
TA:) He caused him to gain, acquire, or earn, wealth: (
IAth,
Msb:) or he assisted him to gain, acquire, or earn, wealth. (
IAth.) كسبهُ عِلْمًا He caused him to gain, or acquire, knowledge. (
Msb.) [In like manner,] العَبْدَ ↓ اسْتَكْسَبْتُ I caused the slave to gain, or make gain; the verb having here the sense of the measure أَفْعَلْتُهُ; like as اِسْتَخْرَجْتُهُ signifies أَخْرَجْتُهُ. (
Msb.) [See an
ex. voce أَدِيمٌ.]
b8: نَهَى عَنْ كَسْبِ الإِمَاءِ [He (Mohammad) forbade the making female slaves to earn money, or the like, (by prostitution)]. (
TA, from a
trad.)
b9: مَا كَسَبَ in the
Kur cxi, 2, is said to signify His children. A man's children are among the things termed his كَسْب. (

b10: كَسَبَهُ عَجَبًا It occasioned, or caused, him to wonder. (
TA,

MF.) [The explanation in the
