maṣdarأَسْوٌ أَسًاmuḍāriʿيَأْسُو يَأْسَي

Core sense — he dressed the wound; he made peace between them; he grievedgenerated

1.1

though the second seems to be mentioned as a simple noun.

He dressed the wound; he treated it medically, or surgically.

1.1.1figurative · مجاز — inferred[this is an affair whose evil (literally, whose wound) will not be remedied]—هٰذَ أَمْرٌ لَا يُؤْسَى كَلْمُهُ

1.1.2figurative · مجازhe made peace between them, or settled their difference—أَسَا بَيْنَهُمْ

First person أَسَوْتُ.

El-Muärrij: أسّى بينهم has the same meaning.

1.2he grieved, he mourned—أَسِيَ

This belongs both to this article and to the article اسى, but the M and K mention it only in the latter, though the K gives the maṣdar under both.

maṣdar أَسًا or أَسًي.

he grieved for him, or for it—عَلَيْهِ

he grieved for an affliction—عَلَى مُصِيبَةٍ

he grieved for such a one—لِفُلَانٍ

Hence the saying الإِسَآءُ يَدْفَعُ الأَسَا: [medicine dispels grief, or mourning].

Qur’ānic occurrences Form 1

5:26

قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا مُحَرَّمَةٌ عَلَيْهِمْ ۛ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً ۛ يَتِيهُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ فَلَا تَأْسَ عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْفَـٰسِقِينَ

Allah said: "Therefore will the land be out of their reach for forty years: In distraction will they wander through the land: But sorrow thou not over these rebellious people.

5:68

قُلْ يَـٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لَسْتُمْ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍ حَتَّىٰ تُقِيمُوا۟ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةَ وَٱلْإِنجِيلَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ ۗ وَلَيَزِيدَنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنْهُم مَّآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ طُغْيَـٰنًا وَكُفْرًا ۖ فَلَا تَأْسَ عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

Say: "O People of the Book! ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord." It is the revelation that cometh to thee from thy Lord, that increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. But sorrow thou not over (these) people without Faith.

7:93

فَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَـٰلَـٰتِ رَبِّى وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ ءَاسَىٰ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ كَـٰفِرِينَ

So Shu'aib left them, saying: "O my people! I did indeed convey to you the messages for which I was sent by my Lord: I gave you good counsel, but how shall I lament over a people who refuse to believe!"

57:23

لِّكَيْلَا تَأْسَوْا۟ عَلَىٰ مَا فَاتَكُمْ وَلَا تَفْرَحُوا۟ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰكُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ

Form 3آسِيْتُهُ بِمَالِى1 sense

maṣdarمُؤَاسَاةٌ

Core sense — I shared my property with him, I made him equal with myselfgenerated

3.1he made me an object of imitation to him by giving me of his property—آسَانِى

. I made him my object of imitation in respect of my property, meaning I made myself like him; or I made him an object of imitation with my property, I imitating his example and he imitating mine.

وَاسَيْتُهُ is a dialectal variant, but of weak authority.

I make him the object of my own imitation and so share my property with him—أُوَاسِيهِ

Thus he reduces himself to my condition in some degree while in the same degree raising me to his.

Thus written, without a second ء.

he gave him of his property and made him an object of imitation in respect of it—آساهُ بِمَالِهِ

Or only of food sufficient for his need, not of what is more than enough. Hence the saying رَحِمَ ٱللّٰهُ رَجُلًا أَعْطَى مِنْ فَضْلٍ وَوَاسَى مِنْ كَفَافٍ: may God have mercy on a man who has given of what was more than enough, and has imparted food only sufficient for need, so making himself equal with the one to whom he imparts it.

he shared with him; he became equal with him—آساهُ

المُوَاسَاةُ occurs often in the traditions, meaning the sharing with another, or making another share with one, in the means of subsistence; and it is originally المُؤَاسَاةُ, with ء also, meaning the being, or becoming, equal with another.

I made him equal with myself—آسَيْتُهُ بِنَفْسِي

In the dialect of El-Yemen, وَاسَيْتُهُ.

make the people share alike, one with another, in your consideration and regard—آسِ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فِى وَجْهِكَ

such a one does not make such a one share with him—مَا يُؤَاسِي فُلَانٌ فُلَانًا

This occurs in a letter of 'Omar. Some say it means: make them equal in this respect.

This is explained in three different ways. El-Mufaddal Ibn-Mohammad: such a one does not make such a one share with him. El-Muärraj: does not do good to such a one, from the saying of the Arabs آسِ فُلَانًا بِخَيْرٍ, do good to such a one. Others: does not give such a one any return for his love, or for his relationship, from الأَوْسُ meaning العَوْضُ, originally يُؤَاوِسُهُ, then يُؤَاسِوُهُ, and then يُؤَاسِيهِ; or it may be from أَسَوْتُ الجُرْحَ.

(Mgh.) The saying مَا يُؤَاسِي فُلَانٌ فُلَانًا is explained in three different ways: accord. to El-Mufaddal Ibn-Mohammad, it means Such a one does not make such a one to share with him: accord. to El-Muärraj, does not good to such a one; from the saying of the Arabs, آسِ فُلَانًا بِخَيْرٍ Do thou good to such a one: or, as some say, does not give such a one any compensation for his love, or affection, nor for his relationship; from الأَوْسُ , meaning العَوْضُ ; being originally يُؤَاوِسُهُ , then يُؤَاسِوُهُ , and then يُؤَاسِيهِ : or it may be from أَسَوْتُ الجُرْحَ .
