Its root in the classical dictionaries

الفيء والفيئة: الرجوع إلى حالة محمودة. قال تعالى: حتى تفيء إلى أمر الله فإن فاءت

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿حتى تفيء إلى أمر الله﴾ [الحجرات: 9] أي ترجع؛ يقال: فاء يفيء فيئا وفيوءا وفيئة أي رجع، ومنه الفيء وهو الظل بعد الزوال خاصة، والناس يطلقونه على مطلق الظل، وخطأهم يعقوب ذاهبأ إلى أنه من الرجوع ولا رجوع إلا بعد زوال الشمس من جانب المشرق إلى جانب المغرب.

    O Prophet! We have Made lawful to thee Thy wives to whom thou Hast paid their dowers; And those whom thy Right hand possesses out of The prisoners of war whom God has assigned to thee; And daughters of thy paternal Uncles and aunts, and daughters Of thy maternal uncles And aunts, who migrated (From Mecca) with thee; And any believing woman Who dedicates her soul To the Prophet if the Prophet Wishes to wed her;—this Only for thee, and not For the Believers (at large); We know what We have Appointed for them as to Their wives and the captives Whom their right hands Possess;—in order that There should be no difficulty For thee. And God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

    What God has bestowed On His Apostle (and taken Away) from the people Of the townships,—belongs To God,—to His Apostle And to kindred and orphans, The needy and the wayfarer; In order that it may not (Merely) make a circuit Between the wealthy among you. So take what the Apostle Assigns to you, and deny Yourselves that which he Withholds from you. And fear God; for God Is strict in Punishment.

    Surah Al-Hashr, verse 59:7
