أَيِّدٌ

Root: ايد

Full Definition

أَيِّدٌ Strong: an epithet applied [to God, and] to a man. A poet says, رَمَى فَأَصَابَ الكُلَى وَالذُّرَى إِذَا القَوْسُ وَتَّرَهَا أَيِّدٌ [lit. When a strong one strings the bow, he shoots, and hits the kidneys, and the tops of the humps of the camels]; meaning, when God strings [or stretches] the bow that is in the clouds, He casts fat into the kidneys and humps of the camels, by means of the herbage that is produced by the rain.
2 إِنَّهُ لَأَيِّدُ الغَدَآءِ وَالعَشَآءِ means Verily he is often present at the morning and evening meals.
