And الإِبِلَ and آوَيْتُهَا [I lodged the camels in their nightly resting-place]; both meaning the same. And it is said in a trad., الحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِى كَفَانَا وَآوَانَا i. e. [Praise be to God who hath sufficed us and] hath brought us to a place of abode for us, and not made us to be scattered like the beasts. AHeyth disallowed as syn. with آوَيْتُ; but it is correct.
