(Bd, Jel.) And مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضانَ اـِيمَانًا وَا@حْتِسَابًا, in a trad., Whoso fasteth during Ramadán, believing in God and his Apostle, and [ reckoning upon a reward, or] seeking a reward from God.

You say also, احتسب بِكَذَا أَجْرًا عِنْدَ ا@للّٰهِ (S, K) He reckoned upon obtaining, [or he sought, ] by such a thing, or such an action, a reward from God: (PS:) or he prepared, or provided, such a thing, seeking thereby a reward from God.

(Msb.) [Hence,] احتسب وَلَدَهُ, (A, Mgh,) or ا@بْنَهُ, (Msb,) or ا@بْنًا, or بنْتًا, (S, K, *) is said when one has lost by death an adult child or son or daughter; (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K;) meaning He prepared, or provided, in store for himself, a reward, by his patience on the occasion of his being afflicted and tried by the death of his adult child: (Mgh, * TA:) when a man has lost by death a child not arrived at the age of puberty, you say of him, اِفْتَرَطَهُ.

(A, TA.) ― -b3- اِحْتَسَبْتُ عِنْدَهُ means اِكْتَفَيْتُ [ I was, or became, sufficed, or contented, thereat, or with him, or at his abode ]. (A, TA.) [And IbrD thinks that the verb has the same signification in the phrase اِحْتَسَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِالمَالِ, quoted in the TA from the A; holding عليه to be here used in the sense of عَنْهُ; so that the meaning is I was, or became, sufficed, so as to have no need of him, or it, by the property: but I doubt whether this phrase be correctly transcribed.] ― -b4- احتسب also signifies اِنْتَهَى [ He abstained, or desisted; app. as one sufficed, or contented]. (K.) ― -b5- And احتسب عَلَيْهِ كَذَا He disapproved and disallowed his doing, or having done, such a thing; (S, K; *) namely, a foul deed: (TA:) whence the appellation ↓ مُحْتَسِبٌ. (K.)
