maṣdarمُبَادَرَةٌ بُدُورٌ بَدْرٌ
Core sense — he hastened, or strove to be first, in doing itgenerated
3.1he hastened with another, or vied with him in hastening, to it—بَدَرَ غَيْرُهُ إِلَيْهِ
He hastened, or strove to be first or beforehand, in doing, attaining, or obtaining it; namely, a thing. Maṣdar مُبَادَرَةٌ, بِدَارٌ, and ابتدرهُ.
Muḍāriʿ بَدُرَ and بادرهُ اليه. The same as عَاجَلَهُ and أَسْرَعَ إِلَيْهِ.
بادر [as well as بَدَرَ and ابتدر] denotes mutual effort only when it is directly transitive; when it is made transitive by إِلَى [or بِ, the former written by mistake as على], there is nothing to show that it denotes this. [But it is often directly transitive without denoting such effort.]
he hastened to do it—بادرهُ
Meaning a thing that he desired or wished for. [بادربِهِ means the same, or he hastened with it; and the first also means he went to him, or to it, early.]
he hastened to it—بادر إِلَيْهِ
he hastened to it—بَدَرَ اليه
or, according to Zj, in keeping with its derivation [see بَدْرٌ], he used the fulness of his power or force to hasten to it.
the thing, or event, came upon him quickly, and before he expected it—بَدَرَهُ الأَمْرٌ
the thing, or event, came upon him quickly, and before he expected it—بَدَرَ إِلَيْهِ
[or بُدُورٌ, as above]. The same as عَجِلَ and سَبَقَ, or اِسْتَبَقَ. [And بَدَرَ مِنْهُ قَوْلٌ and فِعْلٌ: a saying, or an action, proceeded from him hastily, without premeditation: see بَادِرَةٌ.]
strive to be before decrepitude with good works—بَادِرُوا بِالْأَعْمَالِ هَرَمًا
strive to be before daybreak with the prayers—بَادِرُوا الصُّبْحَ بِالْوِتْرِ
Said in a tradition; that is, perform them before decrepitude.
In another tradition; the prayers termed وتر, that is, perform them before daybreak.
hasten with, or to perform, the prayer of sunset before the rising of the star—بَادِرُوا بِصَلاَةِ المَغْرِبِ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ النَّجْمِ
such a one hastens in consuming the orphan's property before the orphan is of full age—فُلَانٌ يُبَادِرُ فِى أَكْلِ مَالِ اليَتِيمِ
he hastened to spend the orphan's property before the orphan came of full age—بَادَرَ كِبَرَ اليَتِيمِ
In another tradition.
Said of a guardian; the same as أَبْدَرَ فِي مَالِ اليَتِيمِ. So بِدَارًاأَنْ يَكْبَرُوا in the Qur'ān 4:5 means hastening to spend their property before they attain full age.
he strove with him in hastening, or to get before him, to the goal—بادرهُ الغَايَةَ

they vied with one another in hastening to a thing, trying which of them would be first—تبادروهُ

(TA.) بادر [as well as بَدَرَ and ابتدر ] denotes mutual effort only when it is immediately trans.: when it is trans. by means of إِلَى [or بِ (the former in the TA written by mistake على ], there is nothing to show that it denotes this. (MF.) [But it is often immediately trans. without its denoting such effort.] One says, بادرهُ He hastened to do it [&c., as explained above]; meaning, a thing that he desired, or wished for: (TA:) [and بادربِهِ signifies the same; or he hastened with it: and the former signifies also he betook himself early to him or it:] and بادر إِلَيْهِ he hastened to it; (S, A;) as also بَدَرَ اليه , (S, Mgh, Msb,) aor. بَدُرَ , (S,) inf. n. بُدُورٌ : (S, Msb:) or, accord. to Zj, agreeably with its derivation, [see بَدْرٌ ,] he employed the fulness of his power, or force, to hasten [to it]: (TA:) and بَدَرَهُ الأَمْرٌ , and بَدَرَ إِلَيْهِ , (aor. بَدُرَ , inf. n. بَدْرٌ , TA, [or بُدُورٌ , as above,]) the thing, or event, came to him, or happened to him, hastily, quickly, or speedily; and, beforehand [or before he expected it]; syn. عَجِلَ , (M, K,) and سَبَقَ , (M,) or اِسْتَبَقَ : (K:) [and بَدَرَ مِنْهُ قَوْلٌ , and فِعْلٌ , a saying, and an action, proceeded from him hastily, without premeditation: see بَادِرَةٌ .] It is said in a trad., بَادِرُوا بِالْأَعْمَالِ هَرَمًا [Strive ye to be before decrepitude with good works; i. e., to perform them before decrepitude]. (El-Jámi' es- Sagheer.) And in another, بَادِرُوا الصُّبْحَ بِالْوِتْرِ [Strive ye to be before daybreak with the prayers termed وتر ; i. e., to perform them before daybreak]. (Idem.) And in another, بَادِرُوا بِصَلاَةِ المَغْرِبِ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ النَّجْمِ [Hasten ye with, or to perform, the prayer of sunset before the rising of the star]. (Idem.) You say also, فُلَانٌ يُبَادِرُ فِى أَكْلِ مَالِ اليَتِيمِ [Such a one hastens in consuming the property of the orphan before the latter is of full age]. (A.) And بَادَرَ كِبَرَ اليَتِيمِ [He hastened to be before the orphan's attaining to full age in expending his property]; said of a guardian; i. q. أَبْدَرَ فِي مَالِ اليَتِيمِ : (K:) and thus, بِدَارًاأَنْ يَكْبَرُوا , in the Kur [iv. 5], means hastening to be before their attaining to full age in expending their property. (Bd, * Jel.) And بادرهُ الغَايَةَ and إِلَى الغَايَةِ [He strove with him in hastening, or strove to get before him, to the goal]. (A.) And ابتدر الغَايَةَ and إِلَى الغَايَةِ [He strove in hastening, or strove to get first, to the goal]. (Ham p. 46.) And بَادَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا إِلَى أَمْرٍ , and ابتدروا أَمْرًا , and تبادروهُ , They vied, or strove, one with another, in hastening to a thing, or an affair, trying which of them would be first.
