آذنهُ

Root: اذن

Form: 4

Full Definition

آذنهُIV : see 1, last sentence but one.
2 [Hence, app.,] Verbal.Noun إِيذَانٌ, He prevented him, or forbade him; and repelled him. [See also 2.]
3 And It pleased, or rejoiced, him, and he therefore listened to it.

def.2 آذَنْتُهُ, Verbal.Noun إِيذَانٌ, in the place of which the subst. أَذَانٌ is also used, signifies أَعْلَمْتُهُ [I made him to know, or have knowledge; informed, apprized, advertised, or advised, him; gave him information, intelligence, notice, or advice: and I made it known, notified it, or announced it]: and , also, signifies أَعْلَمْتُ [as meaning I made to know, &c.: and I made known, &c.]. You say, آذنهُ بِالأَمْرِ, (T, K, [in the CK, erroneously, اَذَنَهُ,]) or بِالشَّىْءِ, and آذنهُ الأَمْرَ, Verbal.Noun إِيذَانٌ, meaning أَعْلَمَهُ [He made him to know, or have knowledge of, the thing; informed, apprized, advertised, or advised, him of it; gave him information, intelligence, notice, or advice, of it; made it known, notified it, or announced it, to him]; as also الأَمْرَ. So, accord. to one reading, in the Kur [ii. 279], فَآذِنُوا بِحَرْبٍ مِنَ اللّٰهِ Then make ye known, or notify ye, or announce ye, war from God. And so in the Kur [vii. 166], وَ إِذْ رَبُّكَ And when thy Lord made known, or notified, or announced: or the meaning here is, swore: [for] you say, لَيَفْعَدَنَ, meaning he swore that he would assuredly do [such a thing]: Lth says that لَأَ فْعَلَنَّ كَذَا وَ كَذَا signifies the making the action obligatory. You say also, الأَمِيرُ فِى النَّاسِ The commander, or governor, or prince, proclaimed (نَادَى) among the people, with threatening and prohibition; i. e. تَقَدَّمَ and أَعْلَمَ. And you say of a building that has cracked in its sides, آذَنَ بِٱلِانْهِدَامِ وَالسُّقُوطِ [It gave notice of becoming a ruin and of falling down]. (Msb in art. دعو.) [See also a similar ex. in a verse cited voce أَلَا. And hence,] آذَنَ العُشْبُ [in the CK اَذَنَ] The herbage began to dry up; part of it being still succulent, and part already dried up. And آذَنَ الحُبُّ The grain put forth its أَذَنَة, or leaves. See also 2, latter half, in two places.

def.3 آذَنَ and are [also] used in one and the same sense [as meaning He knew; had knowledge; or became informed, apprized, advertised, or advised, of a thing]; like as one says أَيْقَنَ and تَيَقَّنَ. You say, , meaning اِعْلَمْ [Know thou]; like as you say تَعَلَّمْ, meaning اِعْلَمْ.
