Form 1سَقَاهُ7 senses · 1 main
maṣdarسَقْىٌ سَقِىٌ سِقًىmuḍāriʿيَسْقِيهِ يَسْقَى

Core sense — he gave him to drink; he watered, or irrigated, it; his belly became dropsicalgenerated

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredhe gave him to drink—سقّاهُ

. [See also سِقَايَةٌ, which is likewise said to be a maṣdar of the same verb.]

اسقاهُ (in the CK, erroneously, اسْتَقاهُ) has the same meaning. What is given is generally water, often milk, and sometimes poison or something else; and the form 1 verb often means he watered a beast, and in the same way he irrigated seed-produce and the like.

he gave him drink to his lip—سَقَاهُ

That is, لِشَفَتِهِ [to his lip], or بِالشَّفَةِ [by means of the lip]; and so also سقّاهُ.

he directed him to water, or he watered his cattle or his land—اسقاهُ

i.e. سَقَى.

Or both سَقَاهُ and اسقاهُ mean he assigned to him, or gave to him, water, or drink, or water for irrigation, so that سَقَاهُ is like كَسَاهُ, and اسقى is like آَلْبَسَ, as Sb says.

I gave him water to his mouth—سَقَيْتُهُ
I assigned to him, or gave to him, drink or water for irrigation, to use as he liked—أَسْقَيْتُهُ

That is, جَعَلْتُ لَهُ; and like these are كَسَوْتُهُ and أَكْسَيْتُهُ.

Er-Rāghib: السَّقْىُ is the giving of drink, and الإِسْقَآءُ the giving of drink so that one may take it as he will; so the second is wider in meaning than the first.

Both سَقَى and اسقى are sometimes used of what is in the bellies of camels or other cattle, [meaning their milk,] as in the Kur-án 23:21, where the reading is نُسْقِيكُمْ مِمَّا فِى بُطُونِهَا or نَسْقِيكُمْ [i.e. We give you to drink of what is in their bellies], according to different readings.

he gave him water to drink—سَقَاهُ المَآءَ
I gave him water to drink much, or often—سَقَّيْتُهُ المَآءَ
he supplied, or gave, water—سَقَى المَآءَ
I watered, or irrigated, the seed-produce—سَقَيْتُ الزَّرْعَ

The teshdeed denotes muchness, or frequency.

For a figurative use of this verb, see the verse cited on p. 85, col. 3, and another, from Tarafeh, on p. 134, col. 3.

Used without a second object.

Maṣdar as above; and أَسْقَيْتُهُ likewise.

I poured water into the water-skin—سَقَيْتُ فِى القِرْيَةِ

Also أَسْقَيْتُ فِيهَا.

A poet says — in one of my copies of the S, Dhu-r-Rummeh:

shāhid 1
وَمَاشَنَّتَا خَرْقَآءَ وَاهٍ كِلَاهُمَاسَقَى فِيهِمَا مُسْتَعْجِلٌ لَمْ تَبَلَّلَابِأَنْبَعَ مِنْ عَيْنَيْكَ لِلدَّمْعِ كُلَّمَاتَعَرَّفْتَ دَارًا أَوْ تَوَهَّمْتَ مَنْزِلَا

[And two old worn-out skins of an unskilful woman who has not sewn them well, each of them unsound, into which someone in haste has poured water before they were moistened, (تَبَلَّلَا being for تَتَبَلَّلَا,) are no more liable to shed their water than your eyes are to shed tears whenever you examine a dwelling or imagine a place of alighting or abode].

such a one became violently affected by sexual desire—سَقَى فُلَانٌ فِى ذَكَرِهِ
God sent down rain to him, or may God send down rain to him—سَقَاهُ ٱللّٰهُ الغَيْثَ

Apparently from this.

Also اسقاهُ. Lebeed uses both verbs in his saying:

shāhid 2
سَقَى قَوْمِى بَنِى مَجْدٍ وَأَسْقَىنُمَيْرًا وَالقَبَائِلَ مِنْ هِلَالِ

[May He send down rain to my people, the sons of Mejd, and may He send down rain to Numeyr, and the tribes of Hilál].

may God freshen as with rain the times, mornings, or afternoons of youth—سَقَى ٱللّٰهُ عَصْرَ الشَّبِيبَةِ

See art. شب.

I said to such a one, may God send down rain to you—سَقَيْتُ فُلَانًا

Also أَسْقَيْتُهُ and سَقَّيْتُهُ, the last being the form most in repute as expressing a prayer; its maṣdar is تَسْقِيَةٌ. What is said is سَقَاكَ ٱللّٰهُ [may God send down rain to you], or سَقْيًا, which virtually means the same, since it stands for سَقَاكَ ٱللّٰهُ سَقْيًا.

According to some, سَقَيْتُهُ is said when the thing given — water or the like — is in his hand, in agreement with the first explanation in this article; and أَسْقَيْنُهُ means I prayed for him, saying سَقْيًا لَكَ.

1.1.1his belly became diseased with dropsy—سَقَى بَطْنُهُ

Yellow water [meaning serum] appeared, or collected, in it, for which there is scarcely ever any cure; his belly became swollen with dropsy.

Maṣdar سَقِىٌ and سُقِىَ. Or the verb is سَقِى, maṣdar سِقًى or سَقًى and استسقى; in my copy of the Msb استقى, which I have no doubt is a mistranscription, since the verb most commonly known in the sense that follows is استسقى, and this is not mentioned there.

1.1.2

In the phrase written in the CK as سُقِىَ قُلْبُهُ عَدَاوَةًُ, the verb is correctly سُقِىَ: see form 2.

1.1.3the sweat flowed without stopping—سَقَىالعَرَقُ
1.1.4he made the garment, or piece of cloth, imbibe a dye—سَقَى التَّوْبَ

Also سقّاهُ.

1.1.5he tempered steel—سَقَى

This sense is in use at the present day; and according to a reading in one of my copies of the S, in art. شرخ, سقّى also has this meaning.

1.1.6

See also form 4, last sentence.

Or he gave him a hide to make a سِقَآء of it; or اسقاهُ إِهَابًا has this latter meaning.

This occurs in a tradition, the skin meant being a سِقَآء; or the meaning is: make its hide into a سِقَآء for yourself.

Also this verb, and سَقَاهُ — the latter mentioned on the authority of IAar, but disallowed by Sh — mean the same as اِغْتَابَهُ: he spoke evil of him, or traduced him, in his absence or otherwise, in a foul manner, and imputed to him a vice or fault or the like.

J cites in the S a verse of Ibn-Ahmar ending with the phrase سِقَائِيَا أَسْقَى, apparently meaning: who has spoken evil of me.

وَإِذِ ٱسْتَسْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِۦ فَقُلْنَا ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْحَجَرَ ۖ فَٱنفَجَرَتْ مِنْهُ ٱثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًا ۖ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْ ۖ كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ مِن رِّزْقِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ

And remember Moses prayed for water for his people; We said: "Strike the rock with thy staff." Then gushed forth therefrom twelve springs. Each group knew its own place for water. So eat and drink of the sustenance provided by Allah, and do no evil nor mischief on the (face of the) earth.

7:160
وَقَطَّعْنَـٰهُمُ ٱثْنَتَىْ عَشْرَةَ أَسْبَاطًا أُمَمًا ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱسْتَسْقَىٰهُ قَوْمُهُۥٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْحَجَرَ ۖ فَٱنۢبَجَسَتْ مِنْهُ ٱثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًا ۖ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْ ۚ وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْغَمَـٰمَ وَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلْوَىٰ ۖ كُلُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَـٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنَـٰكُمْ ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

We divided them into twelve tribes or nations. We directed Moses by inspiration, when his (thirsty) people asked him for water: "Strike the rock with thy staff": out of it there gushed forth twelve springs: Each group knew its own place for water. We gave them the shade of clouds, and sent down to them manna and quails, (saying): "Eat of the good things We have provided for you": (but they rebelled); to Us they did no harm, but they harmed their own souls.

Or, according to some, it is سِقْى, an instance of the measure فِعْلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ; and so it stands in El-Hareeree's own handwriting in his 22nd Makámeh.

Drink; what is drunk, or what is given to drink; a substantive from سَقَاهُ and أَسْقَاهُ. In the S this meaning is indicated, and also water given to cattle to drink, and water with which land is irrigated; in the M, drink given to camels. Plural أَسْقِيَةٌ.

Literally, how many bucketfuls or skinfuls, the specificative being left out.

And particularly a share, or portion, of water for irrigation.

1.1

And water — in the CK ما, a mistranscription for مَآءٌ — that is, yellow water [meaning serum, effused in dropsy] occurring in the belly, scarcely or never curable; also سَقْىٌ.

وَيُفْتَحُ is added there; and the word in the sense of “yellow water” is written only with fet-h in the JK; but in the TA, ويفتح forms part of the addition that follows here.

Or it is in white نَفَافِيخ [meaning cells] in the fat of the belly; in this sense also the word is written only with fet-h in the JK. The belly is opened when it issues: so says ISd. A substantive from سَقَى بَطْنُهُ.

And a skin, or membrane, containing yellow water, which splits apart from over the head of the young one at the birth; or, as in the T, the water that is in the membrane called مَشِيمَة that comes forth عَلَى رَأْسِ الوَلَدِ [meaning at the birth].

2

Er-Rāghib: also land that is irrigated, having the meaning of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, like نِقْضٌ in the sense of مَنْقُوضٌ. See also سَقْى.

Or it means, or سَقِىٌّ does — of the same measure as شَقِىٌّ and صَبِىٌّ and مَسْقَوِىٌّ, apparently a relative noun from مَسْقًى, not from مَسْقِىٌّ, for if it were from the latter it would be مَسْقِىٌّ.

Or, according to some, if it is from مَسْقِىٌّ it may be either مَسْقِىٌّ or مَسْقَوِىٌّ: see Lumsden's Arabic Grammar, p. 630.

The meaning is seed-produce irrigated by water running upon the surface of the earth, that is, not by rain only.

سَقِىٌّ is the opposite of بَخْسِىٌّ, and مَسْقَوِىٌّ the opposite of مَظْمَئِىٌّ, which means watered by the rain only; and the common people say مِسْقَاوِى.

Er-Rāghib: a giving of drink, or a giving to drink; like the maṣdar سَقْىٌ.

1.1I prayed for him for the sending down of rain—دَعَوْتُ لَهُ بِالسُّقْيَا

And a sending down of rain upon mankind and the lands; a substantive from سَقَاهُ ٱللّٰه الغَيْثَ.

We ask You for a rain of mercy, and not a rain of punishment—سُقْيَا رَحْمَةٍ وَلَا سُقْيَا عَذَابٍ
land easy of irrigation, whether by the rain or otherwise—أَرْضٌ خَافِضَةُ السُّقْيَا

It occurs in a form of prayer, and means: send down upon us a rain that brings benefit, without injury and without laying waste.

See the K in art. خفض; the opposite is termed رَافِعَةُ السُّقْيَا.

1

This, and سُقَايَةٌ, and مَسْقَاةٌ, and مِسْقَاةٌ: a place for giving to drink, or for watering.

What is termed سِقَايَةُ المَآءِ is well known: that is, سِقَايَةٌ means a place made, or prepared, for giving people drink; a construction for water; or a place in which beverage is made, or prepared, at fairs or festivals and the like; and particularly a place in which a beverage made of raisins steeped in water was given at the general assembly of the pilgrims.

And مَسْقَاةٌ means a drinking-place in a general sense; and one who pronounces it with kesr to the م [مِسْقَاةٌ] makes it like the utensil called مِسْقَاةُ الدِّيكِ [the drinking-vessel of the cock]: see تُرْفَةٌ. The plural is مَسَاقٍ.

1.1

سِقَايَةٌ also means a vessel in which one is given to drink. In the Kur-án 12:70 it means the king's drinking-cup, his صُوَاع, from which he drank and with which they measured corn; and it was a vessel of silver.

1.2the beverage of raisins steeped in water that Kureysh gave the pilgrims to drink—سِقَايَةُ الحَاجِ

It was under the superintendence of El-'Abbás in the Time of Ignorance and in El-Islám.

Or سِقَايَة in this phrase is a maṣdar, as in the Kur-án 9:19, where it is said أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ ٱلْحَاجِ وَعِمَارَةَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِآللّٰهِ وَٱليَوْمِ ٱلْآخِرِ, the two words سقاية and عمارة being maṣdars of سَقَى and عَمَرَ, the meaning being أَجَعَلْتُمْ أَهْلَ سِقَايَةِ الحَاجِ وَ عِمَارَةِ المَسْجِدِ الحَرَامِ [i.e. Have you made the authors of the giving of drink to the pilgrims, and of the keeping in repair of the sacred mosque, like him who has believed in God and the last day?].

This is confirmed by another reading, سُقَاةَ الحَاجِ وَعَمَرَةَ المَسْجِدِ (Ksh); or the meaning is أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ الحَاجِ كَإِيمَانِ مَنْ آمَنَ, i.e. have you made the giving of drink to the pilgrims, and the rest, like the belief of him who has believed?
