فَازَ , aor. يَفُوزُ, inf. n. فَوْزٌ (S, A, O, Msb, K)
and مَفَازٌ and مَفَازَةٌ, (TA,) He attained, acquired,
gained, or won, good, or good fortune, (S, A, O,
Msb, * K,) or his wish or desire, or what he desired
or sought; (Bd in iii. 182, and TA;) he met
with, or experienced, that for which one would be
regarded with a wish to be in the like condition,
without its being desired that it should pass away
from him; he became far from what was disliked,
or hated, or evil: (TA:) he succeeded, or was successful: he won, or gained the victory: (Msb:)
[he had his arrow drawn, or] his arrow came
forth [from the رِبَابَة], in the game called المَيْسِر:
and (tropical:) it (an arrow) won; or came forth before its
fellow [or fellows in that game]. (O, * TA.) You
say, فَازَ بِهِ He attained it, acquired it, gained it,
or won it; (Kh, A, O, Msb, K;) namely, good,
or good fortune; (Kh, O;) or reward: (A:)
and he took it away, went away with it. (S, K.)
―
2-b2- He became safe, or secure; he escaped. (S,
A, O, Msb, K.) You say, فَازَ مِنهُ He became
safe, or secure, from it; he escaped it; (A, O,
K;) namely, evil; (TA;) or punishment. (A, O,
TA.) And طُوبَى لِمَنْ فَازَ بِالثَّوَابِ وَفَازَ مِنَ العِقَابِ
A happy end is his who gains reward and escapes
punishment. (A.) ＝
1-A2- And فَازَ, (S, O, K,) aor.
يَفُوزُ, (TA,) inf. n. فَوْزٌ, (S, A, K,) (tropical:) He perished:
(S, A, K:) he died; and so ↓ فَوَّزٌ: (S, A, O, Msb,
K:) thus the former bears two contr. significations: (A, K:) but IB says that, accord. to some,
the latter is not used in this sense unless preceded
by another phrase such as in the following ex.:
مَاتَ فُلَانٌ وَفَوَّزَ ↓ فُلَانٌ بَعْدَهُ [Such a one died and
such a one died after him]: and accord. to others,
↓ فوّز signifies (tropical:) he became in the مَفَازَة [or state of
temporary safety] which is between the present life
and that which is to come. (TA.) [This last signification is given in the A.] ―
