عذّبهُ

, verbal noun تَعْذِيبٌ, He punished, castigated, or chastised, him: (S, O, Msb, K:) [and he, or it, tormented, or tortured, him:] originally, he beat him: then, he punished him in any painful manner. (Msb.) It is said in a tradition, إِنَّ المَيِّتَ يُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ [Verily the dead will be punished for his family's weeping for him]: the reason of which is probably this; that the Arabs used to charge their families to weep and wail for them; therefore the dead is obnoxious to punishment for his having done this. (IAth, TA.) And the verb is used metaphorically in relation to that which has not sensation: a poet says,

لَيْسَتْ بِسَوْدَاءَ مِنْ مَيْثَاءَ مُظْلِمَةٍ

وَلَمْ تُعَذَّبْ بِإِدْنَاءٍ مِنَ النَّارِ

[It (apparently wine) is not black, from Meytha, darkcoloured; nor has it been mulled (such seems to be here the meaning of the verb) by being put near to fire, or by being boiled]. (L, TA. [See also مُعَذَّبَةٌ.])
