muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُ·ـُيَفْعُلُ·ـِيَفْعِلُmaṣdarبَطَرٌ بَطْرٌ

Core sense — he exulted insolently and ungratefully; he cut it lengthwisegenerated

1.1he exulted, or exulted excessively, and behaved insolently and ungratefully—بَطَرٌ

Or: he exulted because of wealth, and behaved with pride, self-conceit, boastfulness and want of thankfulness. Or: he behaved with the utmost exultation. Or: he rejoiced, and rested his mind on things agreeable to natural desire.

The maṣdar is synonymous with أَشَرٌ and مَرَحٌ, the former of which signifies شِدَّةٌ المَرَحِ and مُجَاوَزَةُ الحَدِّ فِى مَرَحٍ.

He was, or became, stupified, deprived of his reason, confounded, or amazed.

Er-Rāghib: he bore wealth badly, performing little of the duty it imposed on him, and turning it to a wrong purpose. This is said to be the primary meaning.

He was, or became, stupified, or confounded, and did not know what to prefer nor what to postpone.

As: he was, or became, confounded, perplexed, or amazed, out of fright.

He behaved insolently with wealth, or on the occasion of having wealth; and this too is said to be the primary meaning.

He had, or exercised, little of the quality of bearing wealth [in a becoming, or proper, manner].

He behaved proudly.

He regarded a thing with hatred, or dislike, without its deserving to be so regarded.

He was, or became, brisk, lively, or sprightly.

According to some, he walked with an elegant, proud and self-conceited gait, with an affected inclining of the body from side to side.

It is said in a tradition, لَا يَنْظُرُ ٱللّٰهُ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ مَنْ جَرَّ إِزَارَهُ بَطَرًا [God will not look, on the day of resurrection, upon him who drags along his wrapper of the lower part of the body in exultation and insolence, or pride: meaning one who wears too long a wrapper of the lower part of the body].

1.1.1figurative · مجازyou exulted excessively, and behaved insolently and ungratefully, in your manner of life—بَطِرْتَ عَيْشَكَ

This is a phrase similar to رَشِدْتَ أَمْرَكَ, and in the same way بَطِرَتْ مَعِيشَتَهَا in the Qur'ān [28. 58]; in it the verb is not transitive, but the noun is put in the accusative case because of فِى understood before it. (Aboo-Is-hák.)

1.1.2figurative · مجاز — inferredI do not, or will not, domineer over others when I am rich—لَا أَبْطَرُ الغِنَى

1.1.3figurative · مجازhe held the wealth, or the favour, in light estimation, and was ungrateful for it—بَطِرَ النِّعْمَةَ

1.1.4figurative · مجاز — inferredhe refused the right direction in managing his affair, and was ignorant of it—بَطِرَ هِدَايَةَ أَمْرِهِ

1.1.5figurative · مجاز

It is said in a tradition that pride is بَطَرُ الحَقِّ, which means the considering as false, or vain, what God has pronounced to be the truth, or our duty — namely, the confession of his unity and the obligation of rendering Him religious service. Or: the being confounded at considering truth, or duty, and not seeing it to be true, or incumbent. Or: the disdaining the truth, or right, and not accepting or not admitting it.

1.2he cut it lengthwise; he slit it; he split it—بَطَرَهُ

Muḍāriʿ بَطُرَ and بَطِرَ.

Hence the name بَيْطَارٌ.
