From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root اجر. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.
أَجَرَهُ , aor. اَجُرَ and اَجِرَ , (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) which latter form of the aor., though known to most of the lexicologists, is disacknowledged by a few of them, (TA,) inf. n. أَجْرٌ ; (S, Msb;) and ↓ ا=جرهُ , (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) a form disacknowledged by As, but said by some to be the more chaste of the two, of the form أَفْعَلَ , not فَاعَلَ , as IKtt by evident inadvertence makes it to be by saying that its aor. is يُوءَاجِرُ , (TA,) inf. n. اـِيجَارٌ ; (S;) He (God, S, A, Mgh, Msb, and a man, Mgh) recompensed, compensated, or rewarded, him, (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) عَلَي مَا فَعَلَ for what he had done. (A.) [See أَجْرٌ , below.] أُجِرَ فُلَانٌ خَمْسَةً مِنْ وَلَدِهِ [Such a one became entitled to a reward for five of his children, by their death, (for it is believed that the Muslim will be rewarded in Paradise for a child that has died in infancy)], (S,) and أُجِرَ وَلَدَهُ , (A,) and أُجِرَ فِي أَوْلَادِهِ , (K,) mean that his children died, and became [causes of] his reward. (S, A, K.) ― -b2- أَجَرَهُ , (K,) aor. اَجُرَ , (S,) [He served him for hire, pay, or wages;] he became his hired man, or hireling. (S, K.) So in the Kur xxviii. 27. (TA.) ― -b3- أَجَرَهُ , aor. اَجُرَ , (L, Msb, K,) and اَجِرَ , (Msb, K,) inf. n. أَجْرٌ , (L, K,) He let him (namely his slave) on hire, or for pay, or wages; (L, * Msb, * K;) as also ↓ ا=جرهُ , inf. n. اـِيجَارٌ ; ('Eyn, Mgh, Msb, K;) and ↓ ا=جرهُ , inf. n. موءاجرة : (K:) all these are good forms of speech, used by the Arabs: (L:) or ↓ ا=جرهُ having for its inf. n. موءاجرة signifies he appointed him (namely another man) hire, pay, or wages, for his work; (Mj, Mgh;) or he engaged with him to give him hire, pay, or wages; (A, Mgh, Msb;) and can have only one objective complement: whereas, ↓ when it is of the measure أَفْعَلَ it is doubly trans.; (Mgh, Msb;) so that one says, مَمْلُوكَهُ ↓ ا=جَرَنِي He let me his slave on hire. (Mgh.) One also says, أَجَرَ الدَّارَ , aor. اَجُرَ and اَجِرَ , inf. n. أَجْرٌ , He let the house on hire; and so الدَّارَ ↓ ا=جر , [inf. n. اـِيجَارٌ :] (Msb, TA:) and الدَّارَ ↓ ا=جرهُ , [inf. n. اـِيجَارٌ ,] He let to him the house on hire: (S, A, Mgh, Msb:) the latter verb being of the measure أَفْعَلَ , not of the measure فَاعَلَ : (A, Mgh, Msb:) and the vulgar say, وَاجَرَ : (S:) some, however, say, الدَّارَ ↓ ا=جَرْتُ , inf. n. مُوءَاجَرَةٌ , making the verb of the measure فاعل : (Msb, TA:) some also say, الدَّارَ زَيْدَّا ↓ ا=جَرْتُ [I let the house to Zeyd], inverting the order of the words: (Msb, TA:) and the lawyers say, الدَّارَ مِنْ زَيْدٍ ↓ ا=جَرْتُ [in the same sense, like as بِعْتُ مِنْ زَيْدٍ الدَّارِ means the same as بِعْتُ زَيْداً الدَّارَ ]. (Msb: [but in the Mgh, the like of this is said to be vulgar.])
ا=جر ا=جر , inf. n. مُوءَاجَرَةٌ : see 1, latter half, in three places: and see 10. One says also, of a woman, (K,) or a whorish female slave, (TA,) ا=جَرَتْ , [of the measure فَاعَلَتْ , not أَفْعَلَتْ , (see مُوءْجِرٌ , below,)] meaning She prostituted herself for hire. (K.)
ا=جَرَتٌ ا=جرت , inf. n. اـِيجَارٌ : see 1, first sentence: ― -b2- and see the latter half of the same paragraph, in seven places.
ايءتجر [written with the disjunctive alif اِيتَجَرَ ] He gave alms, seeking thereby to obtain a reward [from God]: (L, K *:) and ايءتجربِهِ He gave it as alms, seeking thereby a reward. (L.) ا@تَّجَرَ for ايءتجر is not allowable, because ء cannot be incorporated into ت : [or, accord. to some, this is allowable, as in ا@تَّزَرَ for ايءتزر , and ا@تَّمَنَ for ايءتمن , &c.:] Hr allows it; and cites an ex. in a trad.; but IAth says that the proper reading in this instance is يَأْتَجِرُ , not يَتَّجِرُ ; or, if the latter be allowed, it is from التِّجَارَةُ , not from الأَجْرُ . (L.) ― -b2- اُوتُجِرَ عَلَيْهِ بِكَذَا [in which the radical ء is changed into و because the alif preceding it is made disjunctive and with damm, (in one copy of the S, and in the L and TA, erroneously written اِيْتَجَرَ ,) He was hired to do it for such a sum or thing, (see مُوءْتَجَرٌ , below,)] is from الأُجْرَةُ . (S, L.)
استأجرهُ , (S, K,) and ↓ ا=جرهُ , (K,) [the latter of the measure فَاعَلَ , as has been clearly shown above, from the A and Mgh and Msb,] He hired him; took him as a hired man, or hireling. (S, K, TA.) You say also, استأجر الدَّارَ [He hired the house; took it on hire]. (A, Mgh,)
أَجْرٌ A recompense, compensation, or reward, (S, K, &c.,) for what one has done; (K;) i. q. ثَوَابٌ ; (S;) as also ↓ اـِجَارَةٌ and ↓ أَجَارَةٌ and ↓ أٌجَارَةٌ , (K,) of which three forms the first is the most generally known and the most chaste, (TA,) and ↓ أُجْرَةٌ : (TA:) or, as some say, there is a distinction between أَجْرٌ and ثَوَابٌ : El-'Eynee says, in the Expos. of El-Bukháree, that what is obtained by the fundamental practices of the law, and by obligatory religious services, is termed ثواب ; and what is obtained by supererogatory acts of religion, اجر ; for ثواب is properly a substitute for a thing itself; and اجر , for the profit arising from a thing; though each is sometimes used in the sense of the other: (TA:) it is well known that اجر signifies a recompense, or reward, from God to a man, for righteous conduct; (MF;) and ↓ اـِجَارَةٌ , recompense, compensation, hire, pay, or wages, from one man to another, for work; (Mgh, MF;) and hence الأَجِيرُ ; (MF;) and ↓ أُجْرَةٌ also has this latter signification, (Mgh, TA,) and is syn. with كِرَا=ءٌ ; (S, Mgh, K;) [signifying likewise rent for a house, and the like;] but أَجْرٌ is used [sometimes] in the sense of اـِجَارَةٌ and in that of أُجْرَةٌ : (Msb:) the pl. of أَجْرٌ is أُجُورٌ (Msb, K) and ا=جَارٌ ; (K;) but the latter form was unknown to MF: (TA:) the pl. of ↓ أُجْرَةٌ is أَجَرٌ and أُجُرَاتٌ and أُجَرَاتٌ . (Msb.) [One says, أَجْرُكَ عَلَي اللّٰهِ Thy recompense is due from God. And, to console a person for the death of a relation or friend, عَظَّمَ اللّٰهُ أَجْرَكَ فِيهِ May God largely compensate thee for him! i. e., for the loss of him.] By the expression أَجْرٍ كِرِيمٍ in the Kur xxxvi. 10 is said to be meant Paradise. (TA.) ― -b2- (tropical:) A dowry, or nuptial gift; a gift that is given to, or for, a bride: (K:) pl. أُجُورٌ : so in the Kur xxxiii. 49 [&c.]. (TA.) ― -b3- (assumed tropical:) Praise; good fame. (K.) So, as some say, in the Kur xxix. 26. (TA.)
أَجُرٌّ and أُجُرٌ : see ا=جُرٌّ .
أُجْرَةٌ : see أَجْرٌ , in three places.
اـِجْرِيَّا أجرى أجري أجريا اجريا and اـِجْرِيَّا=ءُ : see اـِجِّيرَى .
أَجُورٌ : see ا=جُرٌّ .
أَجِيرٌ (S, K, &c.) A hired man; a hireling: (L:) or of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مُفَاعَلٌ , i. e. a man with whom one has engaged to give him hire, pay, or wages: (Mgh, Msb: *) pl. أُجَرَا=ءُ . (L, Msb.)
اـِجَارَةٌ أجار أجاره أجارة اـجارة اجاره اجارة جارى and أَجَارَةٌ and أُجَارَةٌ : see أَجْرٌ , in four places. ― -b2- اـِجَارَةٌ also signifies The giving of usufructs for a compensation. (Mgh.) ― -b3- And Land which its owners have let to him who will build upon it: so explained by the lawyers. (Mgh.)
اـِجَّارٌ أجار اجار جارى (S, M, IAth, Mgh, K) and ↓ اـِجَّارَةٌ (M) and ↓ اـِنْجَارٌ (Mgh, K) The flat top, or roof, of a house, (S, M, IAth, Mgh, K,) that has not around it anything to prevent a person's falling from it: (M, * IAth:) of the dial. of the people of Syria and of El-Hijáz: (S:) pl. [of the first and second] أَجَاجِيرُ and أَجَاجِرَةٌ ; (A'Obeyd, S, K;) and [of the third] أَنَا جِيرُ . (Mgh, K.)
اـِجَّارَةٌ أجار أجاره أجارة اـجارة اجاره اجارة جارى : see اـِجَّارٌ .
اـِجِّيرَى أجير أجيري أجيريي اجيرى اجيري (ISk, K) and ↓ اـِجْرِيَّا and ↓ اـِجْرِيَّا=ءُ (S in art. هجر ) A custom; a habit. (ISk, K, and S ubi suprà.) The hemzeh is said to be a substitute for ه [in هِجِّيرَى &c.] (TA.) You say, مَا زَالَ ذٰلِكَ اـِجِّيرَاهُ That ceased not to be his custom, or habit. (ISk.)
ا=جَرٌ ا=جر and ا=جُرٌ and ا=جِرٌ , and the pls. ا=جُرُونَ and ا=جِرُونَ : see what next follows.
ا=جُرٌّ ا=جر (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ ا=جُرٌّ (AA, Ks, K) and ↓ ا=جُورٌ (S, K) and ↓ أَجُورٌ and ↓ يَاجُورٌ (K) and ↓ أَجُرٌ (as in some copies of the K) and ↓ ا=جَرٌ , (as in some copies of the K and in the TA,) or ↓ أُجُرٌ , (as in other copies of the K,) and ↓ ا=جِرٌ [to which is erroneously added in the CK ا=جِرَةٌ ] and [the pls.] ↓ ا=جُرُونَ and ↓ ا=جِرُونَ (K) are syn., (S, K,) of Persian origin, (S,) [from ا=Gُورْ or ا=Gُرْ ,] arabicized, (S, Mgh, K,) signifying Baked bricks; (Msb;) baked clay, (Mgh, L,) with which one builds: (S, L:) ا=جُرٌّ and ا=جُورٌّ and ا=جُرٌ [&c.] are pls., [or rather coll. gen. ns., except the two forms ending with و and ن ,] and their sings. [or rather ns. un.] are with ة , i. e. ا=جُرَّةٌ &c. (L.)
ا=جُورٌ ا=جور : see ا=جُرٌّ .
اـِنْجَارٌ انجار : see اـِجَّارٌ .
مُوءْجَرٌ [A slave, or] a house, let on hire; (Akh, T, Msb;) as also ↓ مَأْجُورٌ ; (L;) and some say, ↓ مُوءَاجَرٌ . (Akh, Msb.)
مُوءْجِرٌ One who lets on hire [a slave, or] a house: one should not say ↓ مُوَاجِرٌ ; for this is wrong with respect to the classical language, and abominable with respect to the conventional acceptation and common usage; a foul reproach being meant thereby [as is shown by the explanation of ا=جَرَتْ , given above: or, accord to some, it is allowable when it relates to a house: (see أَجَرَهُ :) it seems to be disallowed only when used absolutely]. (A, Mgh.)
مَأْجُورٌ : see مُوءْجَرٌ .
مُوءَاجَرٌ : see مُوءْجَرٌ .
مُوءَاجِرٌ : see مُوءْجِرٌ .
مُوءْتَجَرَ [part. n. of اُوتُجِرَ ].

(S.)
يَاجُورٌ ياجور : see ا=جُرٌّ .
