Full Definition

مُتَأَثِّلٌ : see مُؤَثَلٌ.
2 Also Taking for oneself, getting, or acquiring, a source, stock, or fund, (أَصْل,) of wealth, or property: or collecting wealth, or property, and taking it for oneself, or getting it, or acquiring it, as a source, stock, or fund. So in a trad. on the subject of a charge respecting the orphan, يَأْكُلُ مِنْ مَالِهِ غَيْرَ مُتَأَثِّلٍ مَالًا [He may eat of his wealth, or property, not taking for himself a source, stock, or fund, of wealth, or property: or, not collecting &c.]: or, accord. to Bkh, not acquiring abundance of wealth: but the former explanation is more correct lexically.
