maṣdarمُعَاطَاةٌ

Core sense — giving, presenting, or handing something over; becoming tractable, said of a camelgenerated

4.1giving, presenting, or offering; giving with the hand by way of presenting—مُعَاطَاةٌ

Also عِطَآءٌ. Synonymous with مُنَاوَلَةٌ and عَلَى جِهَةِ التَّقْرِيبِ.

إِعْطَآءٌ has been explained as synonymous with إِيتآءٌ, but several authors distinguish the two words: the latter is sometimes obligatory and sometimes by way of favour, while the former is never anything but sheer favour, as El-Fakhr Er-Rāzee says; most of the leading lexicologists, however, do not know this distinction.

he gave him the thing—أَعْطَاهُ الشَّىْءَ

Also عَاطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ; maṣdar مُعَاطَاةٌ and عِطَآءٌ.

[he gave him property]—اعطاهُ مَالًا
I gave him a dirhem—أَعْطَيْتُهُ دِرْهَمًا
[I gave, or delivered, to him, and he did not take]—أَعْطَيْتُهُ فَمَا أَخَذَ

The meaning of this verb does not depend on the taking or receiving, but only on the giving or delivering, so one may say:

[See also a verse cited in the first paragraph of art. رأم, where this verb has a single object with بِ redundantly prefixed to it.]

4.1.1figurative · مجازhe became tractable, manageable, or submissive—اعطى
he became tractable, manageable, or submissive—اعطى بِيَدِهِ

Maṣdar as above. Said of a camel.

[Literally, he gave his hand; said of a man.]

Er-Rāghib: اعطى, said of a camel, primarily means he gave his head and did not resist.

[meaning: give your head]—أَعْطِ

[Hence] this is said to a tractable camel when his haltering comes loose from his muzzle; he then bends his head towards his rider, who renews the haltering.

4.1.2[how large a giver of property he is!]—مَا أَعْطَاهُ لِلْمَالِ

Like the phrase مَا أَوْلَاهُ لِلْمَعْرُوفِ and مَا أَكْرَمَهُ لِى; irregular, because the verb of wonder is not formed from the measure أَفْعَلَ, and only what has been heard of this kind from the Arabs is allowable.

(TA.) [Hence,] one says to a tractable camel, when his haltering becomes loosed (lit. opened) from his muzzle, أَعْطِ [meaning Give thy head]; whereupon he bends his head towards his rider, and he renews his haltering. (TA.) مَا أَعْطَاهُ لِلْمَالِ [How large a giver is he of property!] is like the phrase مَا أَوْلَاهُ لِلْمَعْرُوفِ , and مَا أَكْرَمَهُ لِى ; anomalous, because the verb of wonder is not formed from the measure أَفْعَلَ , and only what has been heard, of this kind, from the Arabs, is allowable.

Core sense — a gift, an act of giving; a thing given; a soldier's stipendgenerated

1a gift, meaning an act of giving, or of liberal, bountiful, generous giving—عَطًا

عَطَآءٌ is a substantive [that is, a quasi-maṣdar] from أَعْطَى, and is originally عَطَاوٌ.

When they added ة to it to denote unity, some said عَطَآءَةٌ and some said عَطَاوَةٌ; and in forming the dual they said عَطَاآنِ and عَطَاوَانِ.

It is used as a quasi-maṣdar in the saying:

shāhid
أَكُفْرًا بَعْدَ رَدِّ المَوْتِ عَنِّىوَبَعْدَ عَطَائِكَ المَائَةَ الرِّتَاعَا

[Shall I show ingratitude after the warding off of death from me, and after your giving as a bloodwit for me the hundred camels pasturing at large amid abundant herbage?] — المائة being in the accusative, governed by عطائك. (I'Ak page 211.)

The diminutive of عَطَآءٌ is عُطَىٌّ. [See مُحَيِّىٌ in art. حى.]

1.1a gift, meaning a thing that is given—عَطَآءٌ

Also عَطًا; or so عَطَآءٌ, and so عَطِيَّةٌ; or, as some say, عَطَآءٌ is an ism jamʿ, and when the singular is meant one says عَطِيَّةٌ.

The plural of عَطَآءٌ is أَعْطِيَةٌ [a plural of paucity] and أَعْطِيَاتٌ, the latter being a plural of a plural; the plural of عَطِيَّةٌ is عَطَايَا; and عَطَآءٌ also has مَعَاطِىُّ as a plural, irregularly.

a soldier's stipend, or pay; his allowance—عَطَآءٌ

And so عَطِيَّةٌ. It is what is given out to the soldier from the government treasury once a year, or twice; while رِزْقٌ is what is given out to him every month. Or the former is given every year, or month, and the latter day by day.

Or the former, and عَطِيَّةٌ, is what is assigned to those who fight; and رِزْقٌ and عَطِيَّةٌ are what is assigned to the poor Muslims when they are not fighting. [See also رِزْقٌ.]
