اشكاهُ

Form: 4

Full Definition

اشكاهُIV [He made him, or caused him, to complain;] he did to him that which made him, or caused him, to have need to complain of him. He increased his annoyance and complaining.
2 And He removed, or did away with, his complaint; or made his complaint to cease; he caused him to be pleased or contented [and so relieved him from his complaint]; syn. أَعْتَبَهُ مِنْ شَكْوَاهُ; i. e. أَرْضَاهُ; and he desisted from that of which he complained: thus it has two contr. significations. Hence the saying, in a trad., إِلَى رَسُولِ ٱللّٰهِ حَرَّ الرَّمْضَآءِ فِى صِيَامِنَا فَلَمْ يُشْكِنَا [We complained, to the Apostle of God, of the heat of the burning ground, in our fasting,] and he did not remove, or cause to cease, our complaint. And [hence] one says, اشكى فُلَانًا مِنْ فُلَانٍ, meaning He took for such a one, from such a one, what pleased or contented him [and so relieved him from complaining of him].
3 Also He told him his complaint, and the desire, or longing of the soul, that he endured.
4 And i. q. وَجَدَهُ شَاكِيًا [which may mean He found him to be complaining, or, as seems to be indicated by what immediately precedes it in the K, he found him to be complaining of a disease of the slightest sort]: or, as in the T, اشكى [app. meaning اشكى حَبِيبَهُ] signifies he found the object of his love, or his friend, to be complaining; expl. by صَادَفَ حَبِيبَهُ يَشْكُو.
