(L voce عَضْبٌ, on the authority of Et-Táïfee.) You say also كَلِمَةٌ تَامَّةٌ, and دَعْوَهٌ تَامَّةٌ; [meaning A perfect, or faultless, sentence, and oath;] using the epithet تامّة in these instances because of the mention of God therein; for which reason there may not be in aught of either of them any deficiency or defect. And
جَعَلَهُ i. e.
[He made it complete, or perfect]. And
جَعَلْتُهُ لَكَ
I made it, or have made it, to be thine, or I assigned it, or have assigned it, to thee, completely, or wholly.
