You say, أَخْبَرْتُهُ بِكَذَا, [and عَنْ كذا,] and , [I informed him, or told him, of such a thing; or acquainted him with such a thing; or made him to know the internal, or real, state of such a thing.] And اخبرهُ , i. e. أَنْبَأَهُ مَا عِنْدَهُ [He informed him, or told him, of what he had, or knew].

[And اخبر عَنْهُ He predicated of him, or it.]
