Full Definition

آذىIV signifies فَعَلَ الأَذَى [He did what annoyed, molested, harmed, or hurt].
2 And آذِاهُ, Present.T يُؤْذِيهِ, Verbal.Noun إِيذَآءٌ and [quasi-Verbal.Noun] أَذِيَّةٌ, or أَذَّى and أَذَاةٌ and أَذِيَّةٌ, but IB refuses his assent to this, saying that these three are inf. ns. of أَذِىَ, and MF says of إِيذَآءٌ, which is expressly disallowed by the author of the K, though he himself uses it, that others assert it to have been heard and transmitted, and to be required by rule, but he adds that he had searched for examples of it in the language of the Arabs, and investigated their prose and their poetry, without finding this word; [He, or it, annoyed him, molested him, harmed him, or hurt him; or] he did what was disagreeable, or hateful, or evil, to him. It is said in the Kur [xxxiii. 47], وَدَعْ أَذَاهُمْ, meaning And leave thou the requiting of them until thou receive a command respecting them; namely, the hypocrites: or leave thou unregarded their doing to thee what is [annoying, molesting, harmful, hurtful, or] disagreeable, &c., to thee.
