Form 1أَمَلَهُ1 sense

muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُ·ـِيَفْعِلُ

Core sense — he hoped it, or hoped for it; he expected itgenerated

1.1he hoped it, or hoped for it; he expected it—أمَلهُ

Muḍāriʿ اَمُلَ and اَمِلَ; maṣdar أَمَلٌ, this being the maṣdar according to IJ, [as distinguished from أَمْلٌ and إِمْلٌ ].

The verb means he hoped for what was good for him; synonymous with رَجَاهُ. See أَمَلٌ below.

Its maṣdar is تَأميلٌ.

I have formed a distant expectation of arriving—أَمَلْتُ الوُصُولَ

It is mostly used of something whose happening is thought remote. Zuheyr says: [I hope, and have a distant expectation, that her love may approach]

shāhid

أَرْجُو وَآمُلُ أَنْ تَدْنُو مَوَدَّتُهَا

A man who has resolved on a journey to a distant town or country says this; but he does not say طَمِعْتُ until he has come near to it, for طَمَعٌ relates only to what is thought near at hand.

الرَّجَآءُ stands between الأَمَلُ and الطَّمَعُ: it is sometimes attended with fear that the thing expected may not happen, so it is used in the sense of fear; and when the fear is strong, so that it denotes distant expectation, it is used in the sense of الأَمَلُ, as in Zuheyr's verse; otherwise it is used in the sense of الطَّمَعُ.

El-Harállee: الرجاء means the expectation of benefit, or advantage, from some preceding cause or means.

Ibn-El-Kemál: it is properly synonymous with الأَمَلُ, and in ordinary usage means the clinging of the heart to the coming to pass of a future desired event.

he expected it much—أمّلهُ

Er-Rāghib: an opinion requiring the coming to pass of an event in which there will be a cause of happiness.

Its maṣdar is تَأْمِيلٌ, and this form with teshdeed is more commonly used than the form without it.
