أَجَرَهُ

Root: اجر

Form: 1

Full Definition

أَجَرَهُI , Present.T ـُ and ـِ which latter form of the Present.T, though known to most of the lexicologists, is disacknowledged by a few of them, Verbal.Noun أَجْرٌ; and , 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 Present.T is يُؤَاجِرُ, Verbal.Noun إِيجَارٌ; He recompensed, compensated, or rewarded, him, عَلَي مَا فَعَلَ for what he had done. [See أَجْرٌ, below.] أُجِرَ فُلَانٌ خَمْسَةً مِنْ وَلَدِهِ [Such a one became entitled to a reward for five of his children, by their death, ], and أُجِرَ وَلَدَهُ, and أُجِرَ فِي أَوْلَادِهِ, mean that his children died, and became [causes of] his reward.
2 أَجَرَهُ, Present.T ـُ [He served him for hire, pay, or wages;] he became his hired man, or hireling. So in the Kur xxviii. 27.
3 أَجَرَهُ, Present.T ـُ and ـِ Verbal.Noun أَجْرٌ, He let him on hire, or for pay, or wages; as also , Verbal.Noun إِيجَارٌ; and , Verbal.Noun مؤاجرة: all these are good forms of speech, used by the Arabs: or having for its Verbal.Noun مؤاجرة signifies he appointed him hire, pay, or wages, for his work; or he engaged with him to give him hire, pay, or wages; and can have only one objective complement: whereas, ↓ when it is of the measure أَفْعَلَ it is doubly trans.; so that one says, مَمْلُوكَهُ He let me his slave on hire. One also says, أَجَرَ الدَّارَ, Present.T ـُ and ـِ Verbal.Noun أَجْرٌ, He let the house on hire; and so آجر الدَّارَ, [Verbal.Noun إِيجَارٌ:] and الدَّارَ, [Verbal.Noun إِيجَارٌ,] He let to him the house on hire: the latter verb being of the measure أَفْعَلَ, not of the measure فَاعَلَ: and the vulgar say, وَاجَرَ: some, however, say, الدَّارَ, Verbal.Noun مُؤَاجَرَةٌ, making the verb of the measure فاعل: some also say, الدَّارَ زَيْدَّا [I let the house to Zeyd], inverting the order of the words: and the lawyers say, الدَّارَ مِنْ زَيْدٍ [in the same sense, like as بِعْتُ مِنْ زَيْدٍ الدَّارِ means the same as بِعْتُ زَيْداً الدَّارَ].
