, مِنَ المَكْرُوهِ, Verbal.Noun مُعَافَاةٌ and عِفَآءٌ and
عَافِيَةٌ , or this is a subst. put in the place of an Verbal.Noun, or also an Verbal.Noun; and
; God granted him [health, or soundness, and safety, or security, i. e.] defence from diseases and from trial: or [restored him to health, or soundness, and to security from punishment, i. e.] effaced from him diseases, and sins. And عُوفِىَ and
[the latter perhaps أَعْفَى, but more probably, I think, أُعْفِىَ, agreeably with what here precedes,] are both used in the same sense, said of a sick person [as meaning He was restored to health, or soundness].
2 And مُعَافَاةٌ signifies also God's defending thee from men and defending them from thee: IAth says that it signifies his rendering thee independent, or in no need, of them, and rendering them independent, or in no need, of thee, and averting their harm from thee and thy harm from them: and some say that it signifies one's forgiving, or pardoning, men, and their forgiving, or pardoning, him.
