Form 1أَمَرَهُ10 senses · 5 main
muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarأَمْرٌ أَمَرٌ إِيمَارٌ

Core sense — he commanded him, ordered him; he held command; it multipliedgenerated

1.1he commanded him, ordered him, or bade him, to do it—أَمَرَهُ بِهِ

maṣdar أَمْرٌ and إِمَارٌ, though MF disapproves the latter.

إِيمَارٌ is used in the same sense, but MF disapproves this too and thinks it strange, [being by rule the maṣdar of آمَرَهُ, on which see below,] and also آمِرَةٌ, which is one of the maṣdars [or quasi-maṣdars] of the measure فَاعِلَةٌ, like عَافِيَةٌ and عَاقِبَةٌ.

He commanded him; ordered him; bade him; enjoined him. The maṣdar means the opposite of نَهْىٌ.

Also آمرهُ, mentioned by A'Obeyd as a dialectal variant of أمَرَهُ; but A'Obeyd says that آمَرْتُهُ and أَمرْتُهُ mean the same, [in a sense different from the one explained above, that is,] كَثَّرْتُهُ.

Also أَمَرَهُ إِيَّاهُ, with the preposition left out.

I commanded you, ordered you, or bade you, to do [such a thing]—أمَرْتُكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ

Also لِتَفْعَلَ and بِأنْ تَفْعَلَ.

[I have been commanded to make use of the tooth-stick]—أُمِرْتُ بِالسِّوَاكِ

[And أَمَرَهُ بِكَذَا as meaning: he commanded him, or ordered him, to make use of such a thing, or the like: from which, in a tradition,]

The imperative of أَمَرَ is مُرْ, originally اؤْمُرْ, which also occurs [with وَ in the place of ؤ when the ا takes damm].

But [generally] when it is not preceded by a conjunction, that is, by وَ or فَ, you drop the ء [that is, the radical ء, and with it the conjunctive ا before it], against rule, and say مُرْهُ بِكَذَا [Command him to do such a thing], just as you say كُلْ and خُذْ. When it is preceded by a conjunction, the practice commonly followed is to restore the وَأْمُرْ بِكَذَا, as analogy requires, and to say أَمُرْ بِكَذَا.

1.1.1he gave an order about him, and so he was slain—أَمَرَ بِهِ فَقُتِلَ
he ordered that such a thing should be done, or given, to him—أَمَرَ لَهُ بِكَذَا
1.1.2We commanded [its luxurious inhabitants] to obey, but they departed from the right way—أَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُوا فِيهَا

In the Qur'ān [17:17], according to most of the readers. So says Aboo-Is-hák, who adds that although one says أَمَرتُ زَيْدًا فَضَرَبَ عَمْرًا, meaning I commanded Zeyd to beat 'Amr and he beat him, one also says أَمَرْتُكَ فَعَصَيْتَنِى [I commanded you, but you disobeyed me].

Or the meaning is: We multiplied its luxurious inhabitants. This agrees with another reading, آمَرْنَا; and El-Hasan's reading, أَمِرْنَا, like عَلِمْنَا, may be a dialectal variant with the same meaning: see Form 4, in two places. Or it may be from الإِمَارَةُ [in which case it seems we should read أَمَّرْنَا, or perhaps أَمَرْنَا: see Form 2].

Abu-l-'Áliyeh reads أَمَّرْنَا, which agrees with the explanation of I'Ab, who says the meaning is: We made its chiefs to have authority, power, or dominion.

1.1.3he commanded him, or bade him, to do what it was proper for him to do—أَمَرَهُ

[He counselled, or advised, him.]

.

counsel me; advise me—مُرْنِى
1.1.4he made the one who saw him want to capture him—أَمَرَ بِاقْتِنَاصٍ

Said of a wild animal.

1.2he held command; he presided as commander, governor, lord, prince, or king—أَمَرَ

also أَمُرَ, and أَمِرَ, though some disallow this last.

Maṣdar أَمْرٌ and إِمْرَةٌ and إِمَارَةٌ; or the second is a simple noun, or perhaps the second and third are quasi-maṣdars.

He became an أَمِير عَلَى القَوْمِ over the people. [See also Form 5.]

such a one has held command and been commanded—أَمَرَ فُلَانٌ وَأُمِرَ عَلَيْهِ

Also وأُمِّرَ عليه. Said of one who has become a commander, or governor, after having been the subject of one; meaning that such a one is a person of experience, tried and strengthened by experience.

1.3

أَمَرَهُ, in the same sense as آمَرَهُ: see Form 4.

1.4figurative · مجاز — inferredit multiplied, became many, or abundant, and became complete—أَمِرَ

Said of a thing, or of a man's property, or camels or the like (Abu-l-Hasan), or of a people.

maṣdar أَمَرٌ and أَمْرَة (the latter written in the CK اَمْرَة). Also أمُرَ.

1.4.1figurative · مجاز — inferredthe property, or camels or the like, of the sons of such a one multiplied, or became abundant—آمر بَنُو فُلَانٍ

The first of these also means: his beasts multiplied, or became many; [as does آمر.]

.

1.5figurative · مجاز — inferredthe affair, or case, became severe, distressful, grievous, or afflictive—أَمِرَ الأَمْرُ

That is, a man's affair, or case.

(El-Jámi' es- Sagheer.) [And He enjoined him such a thing; as, for instance, patience.] The imperative of أَمَرَ is مُرْ ; originally اؤْمُرْ ; which also occurs [with وَ in the place of ؤ when the ا is pronounced with damm]: (M:) but [generally] when it is not preceded by a conjunction, (Msb,) i. e., by وَ or فَ , (T,) you suppress the ء , [i. e. the radical ء , and with it the conjunctive ا preceding it,] contr. to rule, and say, مُرْهُ بِكَذَا [Command, or order, or bid, or enjoin, thou him to do such a thing]; like as you say, كُلْ and خُذْ : when, however, it is preceded by a conjunction, the practice commonly obtaining is, to restore the وَأْمُرْ بِكَذَا , agreeably with analogy, and thus to say, أَمُرْ بِكَذَا .

And أَمَرَ لَهُ بِكَذَا He ordered that such a thing should be done, or given, to him.] In the Kur [xvii. 17], أَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُوا فِيهَا , so accord. to most of the readers, (T, &c.,) means We commanded [its luxurious inhabitants] to obey, but they transgressed therein, or departed from the right way, or disobeyed: (Fr, T, S, &c.:) so says Aboo-Is-hák; adding that, although one says, أَمَرتُ زَيْدًا فَضَرَبَ عَمْرًا , meaning I commanded Zeyd to beat 'Amr, and he beat him, yet one also says, أَمَرْتُكَ فَعَصَيْتَنِى [I commanded thee, but thou disobeyedst me]: or, accord. to some, the meaning is, We multiplied its luxurious inhabitants; (T;) and this is agreeable with another reading, namely, آمَرْنَا ; (TA;) and a reading of El-Hasan, namely, أَمِرْنَا , like عَلِمْنَا , may be a dial. var., of the same signification: (M:) see 4, in two places: or it may be from الإِمَارَةُ ; (S, TA;) [in which case it seems that we should read أَمَّرْنَا ; or, perhaps, أَمَرْنَا : see 2:] Abu-l-'Áliyeh reads أَمَّرْنَا , and this is agreeable with the explanation of I'Ab, who says that the meaning is, We made its chiefs to have authority, power, or dominion. (TA.) أَمَرَهُ , aor. اَمُرَ , also signifies He commanded, ordered, bade, or enjoined, him to do that which it behooved him to do. (A.)

Nounأَمْرٌ3 senses · 1 main

Core sense — a command, an order; a thing, an affair, a casegenerated

1those who hold command or rule, and the learned men—أُولُو الأَمْرِ

A command; an order; a bidding; an injunction; a decree; an ordinance; a prescript. Plural أَوَامِرُ, according to common usage.

Some writers of authority justify and explain this by saying that أَمْرٌ is [originally] مَأْمُوُرٌ بِهِ, then changed to the measure فَاعِلٌ [that is, to آمِرٌ], like أَمْرٌ عَارِفٌ, which is originally مَعْرُوفٌ, and عِيشَةٌ راضِيَةٌ, originally مَرْضِيَّةٌ, and so on; [and then to أَمْرٌ;] and that فَاعِلٌ makes in the plural فَوَاعِلُ, so that أَوَامَرُ is the plural of مَإْمُورٌ.

Others say that it has this form of plural to distinguish it from أَمْرٌ in the sense of حَالٌ [and the like], in which sense its plural is أُمُورٌ.

[But I think that أَوَامِرُ may properly and originally be the plural of آمِرَةٌ, for آيَةٌ آمِرَةٌ or the like.]

MF says that, according to the T and M, the plural of أَمْرٌ in the sense explained at the beginning of this paragraph is أُمُورٌ; but he seems to have based his assertion on corrupt copies of those works, for in the M I find nothing on this point, and in the T not, as he says, الأَمْرُضِدُّ النَّهْىَ وَاحِدُ الأُمُور, but قَالَ اللَّيْثُ الأَمْرُ مَعْرُوفٌ نَقِيضُ النَّهْىِ وَاحِدُ الأُمُورِ, clearly meaning that أَمْرٌ is the opposite of نَهْىٌ, and is also, in another sense, the singular of أُمُورٌ.

the threatened punishment of God—أَمْرُاللّٰهِ
the threatened punishment ordained of God has, as it were, come—أَتَي أَمْرُ اللّٰهِ فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوهُ
the resurrection, or its time, is near—الأَمْرُ قَرِيبٌ
I did not do it of my own judgment, or of my own choice—مَا فَعَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَمْرِى

So in the Qur'ān 10:25, 11:42 and 16:1.

In 16:1: it is so near that it is as though it had already come; so do not desire to hasten it.

It also means the purpose of God.

In the Qur'ān 18:81.

[Hence also الأَمْرُ, in grammar, means the imperative form of a verb.]

O ye who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and those charged with authority among you. If ye differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if ye do believe in Allah and the Last Day: That is best, and most suitable for final determination.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1[the affair, or the like, of such a one is in a right state]—أَمْرُ فُلَانٍ مُسْتَقِيمٌ

Also: a thing; an affair; a business; a matter; a concern; a state, of a person or thing, or of things or circumstances; a condition; a case; an accident; an event; an action. Synonymous with شَأْنٌ and حَالٌ and حَالَةٌ and حَادِثَةٌ and فِعْلٌ.

Also a thing that is said; a saying (under أُولُو, at the end of the article ال).

Core sense — a man of weak judgment who obeys everyone; a young lambgenerated

1[he who obeys a stupid man will not eat fruit; or the meaning is] he who obeys a stupid woman will be kept from good—مَنْ يُطِعْ إِمَّرَةً لَا يَأْكُلْ ثَمَرَةً

A man who consults everyone about his case; as also أَمِرٌ and أَمَّارَةٌ. Or a man resembling [in stupidity] a kid: see the latter part of this paragraph.

Or, as also إِمَّرَةٌ and أَمَّرٌ and أَمَّرَةٌ: a man of weak judgment, stupid, or weak, without judgment, or without intellect or intelligence, who obeys everyone's command and falls in with whatever anyone wishes to do in all his affairs; a stupid man of weak judgment, who says to another, Command me to carry out your affair.

Occurs in a tradition.

إِمَّرَةٌ is applied both to a woman and to a man; when applied to a man, the ة is added to make the meaning more intensive.

The saying إِذَا طَلَعَتِ الشِّعْرَى وَلَا إِمَّرًا إِمَّرَةً سَفَرًا فَلَا تُرْسِلْ فِيهَا, in rhyming prose, means: [When Sirius rises in the clear twilight,] do not send among them (meaning the camels) a man without intelligence [in a great degree, nor one who is so in a less degree; or a woman without intelligence, nor a man without intelligence,] to manage them.
