ارصدهُIV He charged him with the watching, or guarding, of such a thing.
2 See also 1, in four places.
3 ارصد لَهُ also signifies He prepared, or made ready, [a person, or thing,] for him, or it; as an army for battle, and a horse for charging, and property, or money, for the payment of what was due. You say, أَرْصَدْتُ لَهُ العُقْوبَةَ I prepared for him punishment: properly signifying I put punishment in his road, or way. And أَرْصَدْتُ لَهُ خَيْرًا and شَرًّا [I prepared for him good and evil]. إِلَّا أَنْ أُرْصِدَهُ لِدَيْنٍ عَلَىَّ occurs in a trad. [as meaning Unless I prepare it for a debt that I owe]. And [hence, app., as seems to be indicated in the TA,] you say, يُرْصِدُ الزَّكَاةَ فِى صِلَةِ إِخْوَانِهِ He places alms in kind, or good and affectionate and gentle and considerate, treatment of his brethren; [as though meaning he prepares for himself the recompense of alms (ثَوَابَ الزَّكَاةِ, like as one says يَحْتَسِبُ عَمَلَهُ meaning يحتسب ثَوَابَ,) عَمَلِهِ,) in so doing;] reckoning such treatment of them as alms.
4 Also He requited him, or recompensed him, with good, accord. to the original application, or with evil, as some apply it.
5 And ارصد الحِسَابَ He showed, or cast up, or produced, the reckoning.
