Full Definition
سَقَاهُI
, Present.T يَسْقِيهِ, Verbal.Noun سَقْىٌ; (TA; [see also سِقَايَةٌ, which is likewise said to be an Verbal.Noun of the same verb;]) and
, with teshdeed; and
; (K, TA; [in the CK, erroneously, اسْتَقاهُ;]) all have one meaning; [i. e. He gave him to drink, generally water, often milk, and sometimes poison or some other thing: and the first often signifies he watered him, namely, a beast; and in like manner seed produce &c., i. e. irrigated it; as will be shown by what follows:] or سَقَاهُ [is said when you mean he gave him drink] لِشَفَتِهِ [to his lip], or بِالشَّفَةِ [by means of the lip], as also
; and
means he directed him to water, or he watered (سَقَى) his cattle or his land: or both of them, i. e. سَقَاهُ and
, signify he assigned to him, or gave to him, (جَعَلَ لَهُ,) water, or drink, or water for irrigation; so that سَقَاهُ is like كَسَاهُ, and
is like آَلْبَسَ, as Sb says: or, as some say, سَقَيْتُهُ
I gave him water to his mouth; and
, I assigned to him, or gave to him, (جَعَلْتُ لَهُ,) drink, or water for irrigation, that he might do as he would; and like them are كَسَوْتُهُ and أَكْسَيْتُهُ: Er-Rághib says that السَّقْىُ signifies the giving one drink; and
, the giving one drink so that he may take it howsoever he will; so that the latter is more ample in meaning than the former. Both سَقَى and
are sometimes used in relation to what is in the bellies of camels or other cattle; [meaning their milk;] as in the Kur [xxiii. 21], where it is said, مِمَّا فِى بُطُونِهَا, or نَسْقِيكُمْ, [i. e. We give you to drink of what is in their bellies,] accord. to different readings. One says, سَقَاهُ المَآءَ, [He gave him to drink water, or the water,] Verbal.Noun as above: and المَآءَ [I gave him to drink water, or the water, much, or often]: the teshdeed denotes muchness, or frequency. [See also a tropical usage of the former verb in a verse cited in p. 85, col. 3: and another, from Tarafeh, in p. 134, col. 3. One says also, سَقَى المَآءَ, without a second objective complement, He supplied, or gave, water, or the water.] And سَقَيْتُ الزَّرْعَ, [I watered, or irrigated, the seed-produce,] Verbal.Noun as above; as also
, And سَقَيْتُ فِى القِرْيَةِ and فِيهَا [I poured water into the water-skin]: a poet says, [in one of my copies of the S, Dhu-r-Rummeh,]
2 سَقَى بَطْنُهُ, Verbal.Noun سَقِىٌ; and سُقِىَ, or سَقِى, Present.T يَسْقَى, Verbal.Noun سِقًى or سَقًى; and استسقى ; (JK, S, K; [in my copy of the Msb استقى, which I doubt not to be a mistranscription, as the verb most commonly known in the sense here following is استسقى, and as this is not there mentioned;]) His belly [was, or became, diseased with dropsy, i. e.] had yellow water [meaning serum] apparent in it, or collected in it; for which there is scarcely, or never, any cure; his belly became swollen [with dropsy]. MA.)
3 [In the phrase written in the CK سُقِىَ قُلْبُهُ عَدَاوَةًُ, the verb is correctly سُقِىَ: see 2.]

[And two old and worn-out skins of an unskilful woman who has not sewed them well, each of them unsound, into which a person in haste has poured water, they not having been previously moistened, (تَبَلَّلَا being for تَتَبَلَّلَا,) are not more liable to the shedding of their water than are thine eyes to the shedding of tears whenever thou investigatest a dwelling or imaginest a place of alighting, or abode]. [And hence, app.,] سَقَى فُلَانٌ فِى ذَكَرِهِوَمَاشَنَّتَا خَرْقَآءَ وَاهٍ كِلَاهُمَا سَقَى فِيهِمَا مُسْتَعْجِلٌ لَمْ تَبَلَّلَا بِأَنْبَعَ مِنْ عَيْنَيْكَ لِلدَّمْعِ كُلَّمَا تَعَرَّفْتَ دَارًا أَوْ تَوَهَّمْتَ مَنْزِلَا
[May He send down rain to my people, the sons of Mejd, and may He send down rain to Numeyr, and the tribes of Hilál]. [Hence,] one says, سَقَى ٱللّٰهُ عَصْرَ الشَّبِيبَةِسَقَى قَوْمِى بَنِى مَجْدٍ وَأَسْقَى نُمَيْرًا وَالقَبَائِلَ مِنْ هِلَالِ
