muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُ·ـِيَفْعِلُmaṣdarإِيجَارٌ أَجْرٌ مؤاجرة مُؤَاجَرَةٌ

Core sense — he recompensed him, he rewarded him; he let him on hiregenerated

1.1He recompensed him, or rewarded him, for what he had done—عَلَي مَا فَعَلَ

Muḍāriʿ اَجُرَ and اَجِرَ; the second form of the muḍāriʿ, though known to most of the lexicologists, is rejected by a few of them.

Maṣdar أَجْرٌ and آجرهُ; As rejected the second, but some say it is the better of the two.

It is of the form أَفْعَلَ, not فَاعَلَ, as IKtt makes it by an evident slip, saying that its muḍāriʿ is يُؤَاجِرُ and its.

Said of God, and also of a man.

[See أَجْرٌ below.]

Such a one became entitled to a reward for five of his children, by their death—أُجِرَ فُلَانٌ خَمْسَةً مِنْ وَلَدِهِ

It is believed that the Muslim will be rewarded in Paradise for a child that has died in infancy.

his children died, and became [causes of] his reward—أُجِرَ وَلَدَهُ

his children died, and became [causes of] his reward—أُجِرَ فِي أَوْلَادِهِ

1.1.1He served him for hire, pay, or wages; he became his hired man—أَجَرَهُ

So in the Qur 28:27.

Qur’ān 28:27 approximate — somewhere between 28:1 and 28:45 Lane cites “Kur xxviii. 27”

Qur’ān 28:27 the verse Lane’s citation points to, and it uses this root

قَالَ إِنِّىٓ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُنكِحَكَ إِحْدَى ٱبْنَتَىَّ هَـٰتَيْنِ عَلَىٰٓ أَن تَأْجُرَنِى ثَمَـٰنِىَ حِجَجٍ ۖ فَإِنْ أَتْمَمْتَ عَشْرًا فَمِنْ عِندِكَ ۖ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَيْكَ ۚ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

He said: "I intend to wed one of these my daughters to thee, on condition that thou serve me for eight years; but if thou complete ten years, it will be (grace) from thee. But I intend not to place thee under a difficulty: thou wilt find me, indeed, if Allah wills, one of the righteous."Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1.2He let his slave on hire, for pay or wages—أَجَرَهُ

Muḍāriʿ اَجُرَ and اَجِرَ.

Also آجرهُ, and آجرهُ; all of these are good forms of speech, used by the Arabs.

He appointed him hire, pay, or wages, for his work; he engaged to give him wages—آجرهُ

Its maṣdar is مؤاجرة.

This can have only one object, whereas when it is of the measure أَفْعَلَ it takes two objects.

He let me his slave on hire—آجَرَنِي مَمْلُوكَهُ

He let the house on hire—أَجَرَ الدَّارَ

Muḍāriʿ اَجُرَ and اَجِرَ.

He let to him the house on hire—آجر الدَّارَ

[.]

He let to him the house on hire—آجرهُ الدَّارَ

[.]

This last verb is of the measure أَفْعَلَ, not of the measure فَاعَلَ.

The vulgar say وَاجَرَ.

Some, however, say آجَرْتُ الدَّارَ, making the verb of the measure فاعل.

I let the house to Zeyd—آجَرْتُ الدَّارَ زَيْدَّا

he let the house to Zeyd—آجَرْتُ الدَّارَ مِنْ زَيْدٍ

Here the order of the words is inverted.

This kind of usage is said to be a vulgar one.

The lawyers say this, in the same sense, [just as بِعْتُ مِنْ زَيْدٍ الدَّارِ means the same as بِعْتُ زَيْداً الدَّارَ].

Core sense — he gave alms seeking a reward; he was hired to do itgenerated

8.1He gave alms, seeking by that to obtain a reward [from God]—اِيتَجَرَ

He gave it as alms, seeking by that a reward—ائتجربِهِ

It is written with the disjunctive alif.

ٱتَّجَرَ for ائتجر is not allowable, because ء cannot be assimilated into ت.

[Or, according to some, this is allowable, as in ٱتَّزَرَ for ائتزر, and ٱتَّمَنَ for ائتمن, and the like.]

Hr allows it, and cites an example in a tradition; but IAth says that the proper reading in this instance is يَأْتَجِرُ, not يَتَّجِرُ; or, if the latter is allowed, it is from التِّجَارَةُ, not from الأَجْرُ.

8.1.1He was hired to do it for such a sum or thing—اُوتُجِرَ عَلَيْهِ بِكَذَا

In it the radical ء is changed into و, because the alif preceding it is made disjunctive and with damm; in one copy, and in two others, it is wrongly written اِيْتَجَرَ.

See مُؤْتَجَرٌ below.

It is from الأُجْرَةُ.

Derived nouns 21

Nounأَجْرٌ3 senses · 1 main

Core sense — a recompense, or reward, for what one has done; wages; a dowrygenerated

1a recompense, compensation, or reward, for what one has done—ثَوَابٌ

Also إِجَارَةٌ, أَجَارَةٌ and أٌجَارَةٌ; of these three forms the first is the most widely known and the best, and also أُجْرَةٌ.

Or, as some say, there is a difference between أَجْرٌ and ثَوَابٌ.

El-'Eynee says, in his commentary on El-Bukhāree, that what is obtained by the fundamental practices of the law and by obligatory religious services is called ثواب, and what is obtained by voluntary acts of religion اجر; for ثواب is properly a substitute for a thing itself, and اجر for the profit arising from a thing, though each is sometimes used in the sense of the other.

It is well known that اجر means a recompense, or reward, from God to a man for righteous conduct, and إِجَارَةٌ recompense, compensation, hire, pay, or wages, from one man to another for work; and hence الأَجِيرُ.

أُجْرَةٌ also has this last meaning, and is synonymous with كِرَآءٌ [which likewise means rent for a house, and the like]; but أَجْرٌ is used sometimes in the sense of إِجَارَةٌ, and in that of أُجْرَةٌ.

The plural of أَجْرٌ is أُجُورٌ and آجَارٌ, but the latter form was unknown to MF; the plural of أُجْرَةٌ is أَجَرٌ, أُجُرَاتٌ and أُجَرَاتٌ.

[One says, أَجْرُكَ عَلَي اللّٰهِ Your recompense is due from God. And, to console someone for the death of a relation or friend, عَظَّمَ اللّٰهُ أَجْرَكَ فِيهِ May God largely compensate you for him! — that is, for the loss of him.]

The expression أَجْرٍ كِرِيمٍ in the Qur 36:10 is said to mean Paradise.

Qur’ān 36:11 approximate — somewhere between 36:7 and 36:66 Lane cites “Kur xxxvi. 10”

O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee; and daughters of thy paternal uncles and aunts, and daughters of thy maternal uncles and aunts, who migrated (from Makka) with thee; and any believing woman who dedicates her soul to the Prophet if the Prophet wishes to wed her;- this only for thee, and not for the Believers (at large); We know what We have appointed for them as to their wives and the captives whom their right hands possess;- in order that there should be no difficulty for thee. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)
