Full Definition

شَوَّقَII see above, in two places. A poet says, a man of the tribe of Kelb, وَحَنَّتْ نَاقَتِى طَرَبًا وَشَوْقًا إِلَى مَنْ بِالحَنِينِ تُشَوِّقِينِى [And my she-camel uttered a yearning cry, by reason of lively emotion, and desire; whereupon I said, For whom, by the yearning cry, dost thou render me desirous?]: تُشَوِّقِينِى being for تُشَوِّقِينَنِى. Lth says that التَّشْوِيقُ in relation to reading or recitation [of the Kur-án], and [sacred] narratives, is as when one says, شَوِّقْنَا يَا فُلَانُ [lit. Do thou render us desirous, O such a one], meaning do thou mention [to us] Paradise and what is therein, by narratives, or reading or recitation; may-be we shall become desirous of it, and therefore work for it.
