عَزَّى is a Form II past-tense verb meaning to console. ثَكْلَى refers especially to a woman bereaved of her child, highlighting profound loss. كُسِيَ is a passive past-tense verb, “was clothed,” while بُرْدًا means a cloak or garment.
Consoling someone can include gentle words, listening, practical help, and respect for the person's grief. It is not accomplished simply by reciting a formula and dismissing their pain. The report encourages a compassionate response to bereavement and the hope of reward for genuine kindness.
