    , aor. يَعْنِيهِ and يَعْنُوهُ, inf. n. عِنَايةٌ and عَنَايَةٌ (K, TA) and عُنِىٌّ, (TA, as from the K, but not in the CK nor in my MS. copy of the K,) The affair, or event, or case, disquieted him; syn. أَهَمَّهُ [more fully expl. by what here follows]: (K, TA:) [عَنَاهُ may be generally rendered it concerned him; agreeing with this in meaning it made him uneasy in mind, anxious, or careful; and in meaning it affected his interest, or was of importance to him; like أَهَمَّهُ: and also it concerned him meaning it related, or belonged, to him; or was of his business; as will be shown by what follows: and] عَنَانِى كَذَا, aor. يَعْنِينِى, means such a thing occurred, or happened, to me, and occupied me [or my mind]. (Msb.) The saying [in the Kur lxxx. 37], لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِيأٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَيأِذٍ شَأْنٌ يَعْنِيهِ, thus accord. to one reading, means يُهِمُّهُ [i. e. To every man of them shall belong, on that day, a business that will disquiet him, &c.]: (Ksh, Bd;) or a business in conjunction with which no other will disquiet him: and like this is the other reading, which is with غ; (TA;) i. e. يُغْنِيهِ, meaning which will suffice him in respect of his being disquieted thereby; (Ksh, Bd;) or the meaning of the latter reading is, [a business such that] he will not be able, in conjunction with his being disquieted thereby, to be disquieted by any other; (TA;) or a state that will occupy him so as to divert him from the state of any other. (Jel.) And it is said in a trad. respecting charming, بِسْمِ ٱللّٰهِ أَرْقِيكَ مِنْ كُلِّ دَآءٍ يَعْنِيكَ i. e. [By the name of God I charm thee from, or against, any disease] that may disquiet thee, &c., (يُهِمُّكَ,) and occupy thee [or thy mind]. (TA.) And in another trad. it is said, مِنْ حُسْنِ إِسْلَامِ المْرْءِ تَرْكُهُ مَا لَا يَعْنِيهِ, meaning مَا لَا يُهِمُّهُ [i. e. A condition of the goodness of the man's submitting himself to the requirements of God is his leaving, or relinquishing, that which does not disquiet him, &c.]; (S, TA;) the exceptions therefrom being such things as necessary food and clothing. (So in a marginal note in a copy of the Jámi' es-Sagheer of Es-Suyootee.) See also the prov. " مُعْتَرِضٌ لِعَنَنٍ لَمْ يَعْنِهِ " expl. voce عِنَانٌ. [It is like the common saying, يَتَكَلَّمُ فِيمَا لَا يَعْنِيهِ He talks of that which does not concern him; meaning that which does not relate, or belong, to him; or that which is not of his business.] ― -b2- عُنِىَ in the phrase عُنِىَ بِالأَمْرِ is [said to be] one of a class of verbs used in the pass. form though having the sense of the act. form, like زُهِىَ: (S in art. زهو:) [but is expl. as though pass. of عَنَاهُ meaning as above, or quasipass.:] you say, عُنِىَ بِالأَمْرِ, with damm, (K, TA,) i. e. in the pass. form, (TA,) inf. n. عِنَايَةٌ, (K, TA,) with kesr; (TA;) and عَنِىَ بِهِ, of the class of رَضِىَ, (K, TA,) mentioned by IDrst and others of the expositors of the Fs, and by Hr and Mtr, (MF, TA,) and by IKtt on the authority of Et- Toosee, (TA,) but this is seldom used, (K, TA,) the former being that which is commonly known, and this alone being mentioned by Th in his Fs, and by J and others; (TA;) i. q. اِهْتَمَّ بِهِ [i. e.
