def.2 And فَازَ, Present.T يَفُوزُ, Verbal.Noun فَوْزٌ, He perished: he died; and so : thus the former bears two contr. significations: but IB says that, accord. to some, the latter is not used in this sense unless preceded by another phrase such as in the following ex.: مَاتَ فُلَانٌ فُلَانٌ بَعْدَهُ [Such a one died and such a one died after him]: and accord. to others, فوّز signifies he became in the مَفَازَة [or state of temporary safety] which is between the present life and that which is to come. [This last signification is given in the A.]
