muḍāriʿـِيَفْعِلُ·ـُيَفْعُلُ

Core sense — he seized him violently, he assaulted himgenerated

1.1[on the day when we make the greatest assault]—يَوْمَ نُبْطِشُ البَطْشَةَ الكُبْرَى

Muḍāriʿ بَطِشَ and بَطُشَ, the first being the reading adopted by the seven readers in chapter 44, verse 15 of the Qur'ān; maṣdar بَطْشٌ. He seized him violently and laid violent hands on him; he assaulted him; or he seized him violently, in anger; or he laid hold of him violently in making an assault.

أَبْطَشَهُ means the same as بَطَشَ بِهِ, but is rare; it occurs in the words of the Qur'ān 44:15.

So according to the reading of El-Hasan and Ibn-Rejā. Or, according to AHāt, and Bd says much the same, the meaning is: on the day when we give power over them to such as shall assault them [with the great assault; or make to assault with the great assault].

Qur’ān 44:16 Lane quotes this verse
يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ

One day We shall seize you with a mighty onslaught: We will indeed (then) exact Retribution!Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

Also: he took hold of anything, or clung to it, strongly.

In this saying of El-Hulwānee the preposition [بِ] is understood; or the verb is used as carrying the meaning of الأَخْذُ and التَّنَاوُلُ.

Then, when he decided to lay hold of the man who was an enemy to both of them, that man said: "O Moses! Is it thy intention to slay me as thou slewest a man yesterday? Thy intention is none other than to become a powerful violent man in the land, and not to be one who sets things right!"
