You say, تَصَرَهُ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِ, and مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ, Present.T ـُ Verbal.Noun نَصْرٌ and نُصْرَةٌ, or this, as remarked above, is a simple subst., He aided or assisted him, and strengthened him, against his enemy: [he avenged him of his enemy. ] And نَصَرَهُ ٱللّٰهُ God made him to be victorious, to conquer, or to overcome: so in the Kur, xxii. 15, where the pronoun relates to Mohammad. In the Kur, xlvii. 8. إِنْ تَنْصُرُوا ٱللّٰهَ يَنْصُرْكُمْ means, If ye aid God's religion and his apostle, He will aid you against your enemy: or if ye aid his servants, &c.: or if ye keep his ordinances and aid his orders and comply with his commands and shun the things which He hath forbidden, &c. And the trad. أُنْصُرْ أَخَاكَ ظَالِمَّا أَوْ مَظْلُومًا is explained as meaning, Prevent thou thy brother from wronging when he is a wronger, and aid him against his wronger when he is wronged.

3 Hence, نَصَرَهُ, Present.T ـُ Verbal.Noun نَصْرٌ, He gave to him. An Arab of the desert [in the A a beggar] accosted a people saying, أُنْصُرُونِى نَصَرَكُمُ ٱللّٰهُ, meaning, Give ye to me: may God give to you.
4 نَصَرَهُ ٱللّٰهُ also signifies God bestowed upon him the means of subsistence, or the like; syn. رَزَقَهُ.
