Full Definition

إِتَّعَظَVIII [He became exhorted, admonished, warned, or put in fear:] he obeyed, or conformed to, [an exhortation to obedience, or] a command, and restrained himself: he accepted good advice, and the being reminded of the results of affairs: he became reminded of that which should soften his heart, by the mention of reward and punishment. It is said, السَّعِيدُ مَنْ وُعِظَ يِغَيْرِهِ وَالشَّقِىُّ مَنْ ٱتَّعَظَ بِهِ غَيْرُهُ [The happy is he who is exhorted, or admonished, or warned, by the example of another, and the unhappy is he by the example of whom another becomes exhorted, or admonished, or warned].
