muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُmaṣdarرِزْقٌ رَزْقٌ

Core sense — God gave him the means of subsistence; it was rained upon; he thanked himgenerated

1.1the bird fed its young one—رَزَقَ الطَّائِرُ فَرْخَهُ

the latter being the proper maṣdar, the former a simple noun that is also used as a maṣdar.

God caused what is termed رِزْق to come to him; or God gave him.

[The verb is doubly transitive: when the second object is implied, the phrase generally means God caused the means of subsistence to come to him, that is, gave him, granted him, or supplied him with, the means of subsistence; when the second object is expressed, that word generally signifies the means of subsistence or the like, property, or offspring.]

the commander gave the army their subsistence-money, pay, or allowances—رَزَقَ الأَمِيرُ الجُنْدَ

he gave the army their subsistence-money once—رَزَقَ الجُنْدَ رَزْقَةً

they were given their subsistence-money twice—رُزِقُوا رَزْقَتَيْنِ

1.1.1it (a place) was rained upon—رُزِقَ

Lebeed says:

shāhid

رُزِقَتْ مَرَابِيعَ النُّجُومِ وَصَابَهَاوَدْقُ الرَّوَاعِدِ جَوْدُهَا وَرِهَامُهَا

meaning مُطِرَتْ.

That is, they were rained upon with the rain of the أَنْوَآء [plural of نَوْءٌ] of the رَبِيع, and the rain of the thundering clouds fell upon them, both the copious rain and the drizzling, lasting rain.

1.1.2he thanked such a one, was grateful to him, or acknowledged his kindness—رَزَقَ فُلَانًا

I did that since, or because, you thanked me—فَعَلْتُ ذٰلِكَ لَمَّا رَزَقْتَنِى

Of the dialect of Azd, that is, Azd-Shanooah.

That is, لَمَّا شَكَرْتَنِى.

and do you make your thanking to be that you deny the benefit received, as being from God?—وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تَكَذِّبُونَ

In the Qurʾān 56:81.

According to Ibn-ʿArafeh: do you, instead of acknowledging what God has given you and being thankful for it, attribute it to another than Him?

According to Az and others, the meaning is تَجْعَلُونَ شَكْرَ رِزِقْكُمُ التَّكْذِيبَ [do you make the thanking for your sustenance to be denial?].

Some read شَكْرَكُمْ [for رِزْقَكُمْ].
