أَيِّدٌ ذ Strong: (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K:) an epithet applied [to God, and] to a man. (S.) A poet says, “ رَمَى فَأَصَابَ الكُلَى وَالذُّرَى
إِِذَا القَوْسُ وَتَّرَهَا أَيِّدٌ
” [lit. When a strong one strings the bow, he shoots, and hits the kidneys, and the tops of the humps of the camels]; meaning, when God strings [or stretches] the bow that is in the clouds, He casts fat into the kidneys and humps of the camels, by means of the herbage that is produced by the rain. (S.) ― -b2- إِِنَّهُ لَأَيِّدُ الغَدَآءِ وَالعَشَآءِ means (tropical:) Verily he is often present at the morning and evening meals. (A.)
