مُتَطَوِّعٌ

A supererogator in any good act. (O, K.) One says, فَعَلَهُ مُتَطَوِّعًا [He did it without its being incumbent, or obligatory, on him; supererogatorily: or gratuitously, unasked, or unbidden: or disinterestedly; not seeking, or desiring, a compensation: synonym مُتَبَرِّعًا]. (S and K in article برع.) And ↓ المُطَّوِّعَةُ means Those who exceed what is obligatory on them in fighting, or warring, against unbelievers or the like; (S, O, Msb;) originally المُتَطَوِّعَةُ: (Msb:) hence ↓ المُطَّوِّعِينَ in the Qur'an, 9:80; originally المُتَطَوِّعِينَ. (S, O.)
