يَأْكُلُ ,] inf. n. أَكْلٌ and مَأْكَلٌ, [He
ate it,] (S, K,) namely, food. (S.) Er-Rummánee says that أَكْلٌ properly signifies The
swallowing food after chewing it; so that the
swallowing of pebbles is not properly thus termed:
(Msb:) or, accord. to Ibn-El-Kemál, the conveying, or transmitting, to the belly what may be
chewed, whether [the thing be] chewed or not; so
that it does not apply to milk, nor to سَوِيق: and
as to the saying of the poet,
مِنَ الآكِلِينَ المَآءَ ظُلْمًا فَمَا أَرَى
يَنَالُونَ خَيْرًا بَعْدَ أَكْلِهِمُ المَآءَ

things beneath their feet] means, their means of
subsistence should be made ample; (Bd, TA;)
by the pouring of the blessings of the heaven and
the earth upon them; or by the abundance of the
fruit of the trees, and the produce of the grains
sown; or by their being blessed with gardens
