أَرَّيْتُ

Root: ارى

Form: 2

Full Definition

أَرَّيْتُII , and الدَّابَّةَ, Verbal.Noun تأْرِيَةٌ, I made for the beast an آرِىّ [q. v.], or an آرِيَّة. (K: [in the CK اَرِيَّة; but this and آرِيَّة are probably mistakes of copyists.])
2 أَرَّىَ الشَّىْءَ, Verbal.Noun as above, He rendered the thing permanent, or steadfast; confirmed it; established it. Hence, in a trad., اَللٰهُمَّ أَرِّمَا بَيْنَهُمْ, i. e. O God, make permanent, or confirm, or establish, what is between them, of love, or affection; said in praying for a man and his wife. Mohammad is also related to have said, with this intention, اَللٰهُمَّ أَرِّبَيْنَهُمَا, meaning O God, render permanent, or confirm, the union, or concord, or love, of them tow; or cause union to subsist, and render permanent, or confirm, love, or affection, between them two: or اَللٰهُمَّ أَرِّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ, meaning O God, confine each of them two to the other, so that the heart of neither may become turned away to any but that other: the correct form of speech, however, is عَلَي صَاحِبِهِ, unless it be like تَعَلَّقْتُ فُلَانًا for تعلّقت بِفُلَانٍ.
