مُغَازِرٌ

Root: غزر

Full Definition

مُغَازِرٌ and مُسْتَغْزِرٌ One who gives a thing in order that he may obtain in return more than he gives. One of the Tábi'ees says الجَانِبُ يُثَابُ مِنْ هِبَتِهِ The stranger who seeks to obtain more than he gives shall be rewarded for his gift: meaning, when the stranger, who is not related to thee, gives thee a thing, he seeks to obtain more than it; so do thou requite him for his gift, and exceed it to him.
