He called, or cried, to him for aid, or succour. (S, A, Mgh, L, Msb.)

And He incited him, urged him, or induced him, to call or call out, to cry or cry out, [apparently for aid, or succour,] or to do so vehemently. (L, TA.)

[Hence,] اُسْتُصْرِخَ الإِنْسَانُ There came to the man a voice, or cry, informing him of an event on account of which his aid was invoked, or announcing to him a death. (IAth, TA.) اِسْتِصْرَاخُ الحَىِّ means The tribe's being invoked for aid to perform what is requisite for the dead: and hence the tradition of Ibn-'Omar, فَاسْتُصْرِخَ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ, not بِامْرَأَتِهِ, meaning, And he was called to aid in furnishing for the grave, and burying, the corpse of his wife: or it may mean, was informed that his wife was at the point of death. (Mgh.)
