Full Definition

تَآسَوْاVI signifies آسَى بَعْضُهُمْ بعْضًا [They imitated one another with their property, one giving of his property to another, so that they thus equalised themselves; they imitated one another and so shared together their property; they shared, one with another, in the means of subsistence, &c.; they were, or became, equal, one with another: see 3]. A poet says, وَإِنَّ الأُولَى بِالطَّفِّ مِنْ آل هَاشِمٍ تَآسَوْا فَسَنُّوا لِلْكِرَامِ التَّآسِيَا in which تآسوا is from المُؤَاسَاةُ; not from التَّأَسِّي, as it is stated to be by Mbr, who says that تآسوا means تَوَاسَوْاا and تَعَزَّوْا. [This verse cited and translated in art. الى, voce أُلَى, q. v.]
