Full Definition

آتَاهُIV , Verbal.Noun إِيتَآءٌ, i. q. أَتَى[He came with, or brought, him, or it]; he made it to come, إِلَيْهِ to him; he made, or caused, him, or it, to be present; he made, or caused, it to go, pass, or be conveyed or transmitted, (syn. سَاقَهُ,) إِلَيْهِ to him. It is said in the Kur [xviii. 61], آتِنَا غَدآءَ نَا, i. e. اِيتِنَا[Come thou to us with, or bring thou to us, our morningmeal].
2 Hence, Verbal.Noun as above, He gave him a thing, or property: and you say, هَاتِin the sense of the [imperative] آتِ[give thou]. We read in the Kur. [v. 60, &c.] وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ[And they give the portion of property which is the due of the poor]. And in [xxvii. 23 of] the same, وَأُوتِيَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ, meaning And she hath been given somewhat of everything. [You say also, أُوتِىَ كَذَا as meaning He was gifted, or endowed, with such a thing; as, for instance, a faculty.] See also 3.
3 آتَيْتُ المُكَاتَبَ I made a gift to the slave between whom and me was a contract that he should become free on payment of a certain sum: or I abated, or took off, somewhat of his appointed part-payments, or instalments.
4 مَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ, in the Kur lix. 7, means What the Apostle giveth you, of the [spoil termed] فَىْء, &c.: or what command he giveth you: or what he commandeth you [to receive].
5 أُوتِىَ فِى شَىْءٍ A dispute, or an altercation, was held before him, respecting the meaning of a thing: [perhaps more properly signifying he was given authority to decide respecting a thing:] occurring in a trad.
