Full Definition

انشدهُIV , and انشد لَهُ, He answered him; gave him his assent, or consent, to that which he asked, begged, or besought. The ا in this case is called أَلِفُ الإِزَالَةِ: as though the verb meant he caused his raising of his voice (نَشِيدَهُ) to cease. See also 6: and 1.
2 انشد, (Verbal.Noun إِنْشَادٌ, A, Msb,) He recited poetry; properly, [he chanted it,] with a high voice; for the reciter [usually] raises his voice in reciting: he raised it in fame; as also نَشَدَ.
3 أَنْشَدَنِى شِعْرَهُ He recited to me his poetry.
4 انشد [He cited, or quoted, a verse, or verses. ]
5 انشد بِهِمْ He satirized them.
