Core sense — it made satisfaction for him, it sufficed him; he repaid, or requited, himgenerated

1.1I paid the debt—جَزَيْتُ الدَّيْنَ

Muḍāriʿ جَزِىَ. Said of a thing: it paid, or made satisfaction; or it satisfied, sufficed, or contented.

I paid such a one his right, or due—جَزَيْتُ فُلَانًا حَقَّهُ

this garment does not suffice me—مَا يَجْزِينِى هٰذَا الثَّوْبُ

1.1.1it paid for him; it made satisfaction for him—جَزَى عَنْهُ

Said of a thing. Some of the lawyers use اجزى in this sense, like اجزأ.

جَزَى is of the dialect of El-Hijáz, and اجزأ of the dialect of Temeem.

a soul shall not make satisfaction for a soul—لَا تَجْزِى نَفْسٌ عَنْ نَفْسٍ شَيْئًا

Qur'ān 2:45; that is, for another soul. On the other rendering, شيئا is put in the accusative after the manner of a maṣdar.

a sheep, or goat, made satisfaction for you [as a sacrifice]—جَزَتْ عَنْكَ شَاةٌ

Benoo-Temeem say أَجْزَأَتْ with ء; this last, so explained, is a dialectal variant mentioned by IKtt.

A dialectal variant of اجزأ.

he sufficed, or contented, him as such a one—مُجْزَاةَ فُلَانٍ

he sufficed, or contented, him as such a one—مَجْزَى فلان

As though the augmentative letter [ا in اجزى] were imagined to be dropped.

he sufficed, or contented, him as such a one—مَجْزَاةَ فلان

it sufficed as another thing; it served in place of another thing—اجزى مُجْزَى غَيْرِهِ

it was sufficient for you—اجزاكَ

The second objective complement is left out.

1.1.2he repaid him, requited him, or recompensed him—جَزَاهَ كَذَا

he repaid him, requited him, or recompensed him—جَزَاهُ بِهِ

he repaid him, requited him, or recompensed him—جازاهُ

Maṣdar مُجَازَاةٌ and جِزَآءٌ.

According to Fr, the first verb relates only to good, and the second to good and to evil; but according to others the first may relate to good and to evil, and the second to evil. [See also جَزَآءٌ below.]

may God repay him good, and reward him for the good he has done—جَزَاهُ ٱللّٰهُ خَيْرًا
