Or (take) the similitude of one who passed by a hamlet, all in ruins to its roofs. He said: "Oh! how shall Allah bring it (ever) to life, after (this) its death?" but Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him up (again). He said: "How long didst thou tarry (thus)?" He said: (Perhaps) a day or part of a day." He said: "Nay, thou hast tarried thus a hundred years; but look at thy food and thy drink; they show no signs of age; and look at thy donkey: And that We may make of thee a sign unto the people, Look further at the bones, how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh." When this was shown clearly to him, he said: "I know that Allah hath power over all things."

16:8
وَٱلْخَيْلَ وَٱلْبِغَالَ وَٱلْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهَا وَزِينَةً ۚ وَيَخْلُقُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

And (He has created) horses, mules, and donkeys, for you to ride and use for show; and He has created (other) things of which ye have no knowledge.

31:19
وَٱقْصِدْ فِى مَشْيِكَ وَٱغْضُضْ مِن صَوْتِكَ ۚ إِنَّ أَنكَرَ ٱلْأَصْوَٰتِ لَصَوْتُ ٱلْحَمِيرِ

"And be moderate in thy pace, and lower thy voice; for the harshest of sounds without doubt is the braying of the ass."

62:5
مَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ حُمِّلُوا۟ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَحْمِلُوهَا كَمَثَلِ ٱلْحِمَارِ يَحْمِلُ أَسْفَارًۢا ۚ بِئْسَ مَثَلُ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

The similitude of those who were charged with the (obligations of the) Mosaic Law, but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is that of a donkey which carries huge tomes (but understands them not). Evil is the similitude of people who falsify the Signs of Allah: and Allah guides not people who do wrong.

Core sense — red, or brown; white in complexion, said of a man; a foreignergenerated

1

[Red; and also brown, or the like:] a thing of the colour termed حُمْرَةٌ. It is in animals, and in garments and the like; and, according to IAar, in water [when muddy].

And so يَحْمُورٌ. The feminine of the first is حَمْرَآءُ; plural حُمْرٌ and حُمْرَانٌ.

Or, when it means dyed with the colour termed حُمْرَةٌ, the plural is حُمْرٌ and حُمْرَانٌ, for one says ثِيَابٌ حُمْرٌ and حُمْرَانٌ [red garments]. But when it is applied as an adjective to a man, [in which case it has other meanings than those explained above, as will be shown below,] the plural is أَحَامِرُ and حُمْرٌ; or when it means a thing having the colour termed حُمْرَةٌ, the plural is أَحَامِرُ, because in this case it is a noun, not an adjective.

أَحْمَرِىٌّ also means the same as أَحْمَرُ; or, as some say, it has an intensive sense.

It is said, in art. دك, that حَمْرَاوَاتٌ is a plural of حَمْرَآءُ, as دَكَّاوَاتٌ is of دَكَّآءُ, but it is not so.

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredthe high-bred, or excellent, of camels—حُمْرُ النَّعَمِ

Applied to a camel: of a colour like that of saffron when a garment is dyed with it so that it stands up by reason of [the thickness of] the dye; or of an unmixed red colour; and so the feminine when applied to a she-goat.

Of she-camels, the حَمْرَآء is said to bear the summer midday-heat best; the وَرْقَآء to bear night-journeying best; and the صَهْبَآء is the most notable and the most beautiful to look at: so said Aboo-Nasr En-Na'ámee. The Arabs say that the best of camels are the حُمْر and the صُهْب.

Applied proverbially to anything highly prized, precious, valuable, or excellent.

1.2I have been sent to the white and the black—بُعِثْتُ إِلَى الأَحْمَرِ وَالأَسْوَدِ

Applied to a man: white in complexion; because أَبْيَضُ might be considered as of evil omen [implying the meaning of leprosy]. Or, according to Th, because the Arabs used that other adjective of a man only in the sense of “pure” or “free from faults”; but they sometimes used it of a man and the like in the sense of white in complexion. Feminine, in the same sense, حَمْرَآءُ, whose diminutive, حُمَيْرَآءُ, occurs in a trad., applied to 'Áïsheh.

every Arab of them, and every foreigner, came to me—أَتَانِى كُلُّ أَسْوَدَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَحْمَرَ

So, according to some, in the trad.; these two adjectives comprise all mankind. [By the first we should therefore understand the white and the red races, and by the second the negroes; but some hold that by the first are meant the foreigners, and] by the second are meant the Arabs.

Said when speaking of Arabs and more northern races; and one should not say أَبْيَضَ in this sense.

الحَمْرَآءُ is also applied to the foreigners [collectively], because a reddish white is the prevailing hue of their complexion; or the Persians and Greeks; or those foreigners mostly marked by whiteness of complexion, such as the Greeks and Persians.

there is not among the foreigners the like of him—لَيْسَ فِى الحَمْرَآءِ مِثْلُهُ

That is, among the foreigners.

According to some, الأَحْمَرُ وَالأَبْيَضُ means the Arabs and the foreigners.

الحَمْرَآءُ [so written, but correctly أَبْنَآءُ الحَمْرَآءِ] is a name applied to emancipated slaves; and اِبْنُ حَمْرَآءِ العِجَانِ, meaning son of the female slave, is used in reviling and blaming.
