5 ترضّاهُ ذ He sought to please, content, or satisfy, him; (M, K;) as also ↓ استرضاهُ. (K.) A poet says, اـِذَا العَجُوزُ غَضِبَتْ فَطَلِّقْ وَلَا تَرَضَّاهَا وَلَا تَمَلَّقْ [ When the old woman is angry, then divorce thou; and seek not to please, or content, her, nor behave in a loving, or blandishing, or coaxing, manner ]: he says تَرَضَّاهَا instead of تَرَضَّهَا to avoid what is termed خَبْنٌ; but some relate it in the manner better known, saying وَلَا تَرَضَّهَا. (M.) ― -b2- [Also] تَرَضَّيْتُهُ I pleased, contented, or satisfied, him (أَرْضَيْتُهُ) after striving, labouring, or toiling. (S.)
