(S, * TA.) ― -b2- And ↓ شاقاهُ فَشَقَاهُ , aor. of the latter verb شَقُوَ , He endeavoured to surpass him in mutual labouring, or striving, or struggling, to prevail, or overcome, &c., (غَالَبَهُ فِى الشِّقَآءِ, [in the CK, فى الشَّقاءِ, but the former seems to be the right reading, and may be best rendered in the mutual striving against difficulty,]) and he surpassed him [therein]. (K. [In the S, شَاقَانِى فُلَانٌ فَشَقَوْتُهُ, aor. أَشْقُوهُ; and only the latter verb as thus used is there explained.]) ― -b3- مُشَاقَاةٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) The treating [one] with hardness, harshness, or illnature. (TA.) ― -b4- And (tropical:) The vying, one with another, in patience, or endurance: a rájiz says, “ إِِذَا يُشَاقِى الصَّابِرَانِ لَمْ يَرِثْ
يَكَادُ مِنْ ضَعْفِ القُوَى لَا يَنْبَعِثْ
” [When the two patient ones vie in endurance, he does not lag behind, almost, by reason of the weakness of powers, failing to hasten in pace]: he means a camel vying with the attendant thereof in endurance of going. (TA.)
