4 اشكاهُ ذ [He made him, or caused him, to complain;] he did to him that which made him, or caused him, to have need to complain of him. (S, Msb.) He increased his annoyance and complaining. (Az, K, TA.) ― -b2- And He removed, or did away with, his complaint; or made his complaint to cease; (S, * Mgh, Msb, K;) he caused him to be pleased or contented [and so relieved him from his complaint]; syn. أَعْتَبَهُ مِنْ شَكْوَاهُ; (S, and Har p. 337;) i. e. أَرْضَاهُ; (Har ibid.;) and he desisted from that of which he complained: (S, * Msb:) thus it has two contr. significations. (S, K.) Hence the saying, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) in a trad., (TA,) إِِلَى رَسُولِ ا@للّٰهِ حَرَّ الرَّمْضَآءِ ↓ شَكَوْنَا فِى صِيَامِنَا فَلَمْ يُشْكِنَا [We complained, to the Apostle of God, of the heat of the burning ground, in our fasting,] and he did not remove, or cause to cease, our complaint. (Mgh, * Msb, TA.) And [hence] one says, اشكى فُلَانًا مِنْ فُلَانٍ, meaning He took for such a one, from such a one, what pleased or contented him [and so relieved him from complaining of him]. (ISd, K, TA: omitted in the CK.) ― -b3- Also He told him his complaint, and the desire, or longing of the soul, that he endured. (TA.) ― -b4- And i. q. وَجَدَهُ شَاكِيًا [which may mean He found him to be complaining, or, as seems to be indicated by what immediately precedes it in the K, he found him to be complaining of a disease of the slightest sort]: (K:) or, as in the T, اشكى [app. meaning اشكى حَبِيبَهُ] signifies he found the object of his love, or his friend, to be complaining; expl. by صَادَفَ حَبِيبَهُ يَشْكُو. (TA.) -A2- See also 2.
