رِضًى
Root: رضو
Full Definition
رِضًى
is merely an Verbal.Noun, [as such] syn. with
مَرْضَاةٌ, meaning The being pleased, well pleased, content, &c.; [see 1;] contr. of
سَخَطٌ: and the simple subst. is
رِضَآءٌ , with medd.; [signifying a state of being pleased, &c.;] or the latter is only an Verbal.Noun of 3, syn. with
مُرَاضَاةٌ: [but] the former [is also used as a subst., signifying content, or approval: and permission, or consent: and] is dualized, app. as meaning the kind [or mode or manner, of being pleased, &c.]: the dual is رِضَوَانٍ and رِضَيَانِ: Ks heard رِضَوَانِ and حَمَوَانِ as duals of رِضًى and حِمًى; and says that the proper way is to say رِضَيَانِ and حِمَيَانِ, [which in the case of the former is strange, as its final radical is و,] but that the pronunciation with و is the more common: and accord. to some, مَرَاضٍ is an irreg. pl. of رِضًى; but others say that it is pl. of مَرْضَاةٌ. You say, مَا فَعَلْتُهُ عِنْ رِضَاهُ and رِضْوَتِهِ: see the latter, below.
2 See also رَاضٍ, latter sentence.
def.2 And رَجُلٌ رِضًى, and قَوْمٌ رِضًى, A man, and a people, or party, with whom one is pleased, well pleased, contented, or satisfied; regarded with good will, or favour; liked, or approved; syn. مَرْضِىٌّ and قُنْعَانٌ: رِضًى being, thus used, an Verbal.Noun in the sense of a pass. part. n., like as the Verbal.Noun is used in the sense of an act. part. n. in the instance of عَدْلٌ, and خَصْمٌ.
2 [See also رَضِىٌّ; for which رِضًى or رِضًا seems to be erroneously substituted, in two senses, in some copies of the K.]
