muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُ·ـِيَفْعِلُmaṣdarدُرُوسٌ دَرْسٌ مُدَارَسَةٌ

Core sense — it became effaced; he read, or studied, a book; he trained a she-camelgenerated

1.1it became effaced, erased, or obliterated—اندرس

. Said of a trace or mark, of what is termed رَسْمٌ, of a house, or of a thing.

It is said of what is termed رسم; or, of the trace of a house — what remains clinging to the ground to mark where a house stood — it became covered with sand and dust blown over it by the wind.

Or, said of an abode or place of sojourning: it became effaced and its traces or remains were hidden.

دَرُسَ means the same as دَرَسَ in the first sense above, but more intensively.

1.1.1

[Hence دَارَسَتِ الآيَاتُ, as explained near the end of this entry.]

1.1.2figurative · مجازthe garment, or piece of cloth, became old and worn out—دَرَسَ الثَّوْبِ

.

1.1.3figurative · مجاز — inferredthe writing, or book, became old—دَرَسَ الكِتَابُ
1.1.4figurative · مجازshe menstruated—دَرَسَتْ

Said of a woman, or, according to Lh, of a girl.

maṣdars دُرُوسٌ and دَرْسٌ.

1.2the wind, or winds, effaced or obliterated it by passing over it again and again—دَرَسَتْهُ الرِّيحُ

Also الرِّيَاحُ.

Said of a trace or mark [of a house etc.], or of what is termed رَسْمٌ; and, of a house or a thing, he razed it.

the people effaced, erased, or obliterated it—دَرَسَهُ القَوْمُ
1.2.1figurative · مجازhe made the garment, or piece of cloth, old and worn out—دَرَسَ الثَّوْبَ

.

1.2.2figurative · مجازhe trod out, or thrashed, the wheat and the like—دَرَسَ الطَّعَامَ

Also الحِنْطَةَ وَنَحْوَهَا; maṣdars دَرْسٌ and دِرَاسٌ.

[Because the one who does this passes over it repeatedly.] Of the dialect of El-Yemen; or دِرَاسٌ in this sense is of the dialect of Syria.

1.2.3figurative · مجازhe had sexual intercourse with the woman, or the girl—دَرَسَ المَرْأَةَ

Also الجَارِيَةَ.

1.2.4figurative · مجازhe broke in, or trained, the she-camel—دَرَسَ النَّاقَةَ

.

Apparently دَارَسَهَا has this meaning too, since the primary meaning of مُدَارَسَةٌ is said to be the breaking in, training, or disciplining of a beast, and returning time after time to a thing.

a camel that has not been ridden—بَعِيرٌ لَمْ يُدْرَسُ
1.2.5figurative · مجازhe read the book—دَرَسَ الكِتَابَ

Hence, [or from دَرَسَتْهُ الرِّيحُ, or from دَرَسَ الثَّوْبَ]; maṣdars دَرْسٌ, دِرَاسَةٌ, دَرَاسَةٌ and دِرَاسٌ.

As though he kept at it until it became easy for him to remember; or he read it repeatedly [or studied it] in order to remember it; or he made it easy to remember by much reading; or he read and learned it.

دَارَسَهُ, maṣdars مُدَارَسَةٌ and دِرَاسٌ, means the same; and so do دَرَسَّهُ and أَدْرَسَهُ, or the first of these two is intensive. The second is mentioned by IJ; but according to the M, IJ says that both of them take two objects and have a different meaning, which is also given in the A for the first of them: see form 2.

دَارَسَتْ الكُتُبَ and تَدَارَسْتُهَا and اِدَّارَسْتُهَا mean the same as دَرَسْتُهَا [I read the books, or read them repeatedly, etc.].

تَدَارَسَ القُرْآنَ means: he read the Qur'ān and returned to it time after time so as not to forget it.

I read science—دَرَسْتُ العِلْمَ

maṣdars دَرْسٌ and دِرَاسَةٌ.

In the Qur'ān 6:105, according to different readings, وَلِيَقُولُوا دَرَسْتَ and دَارَسْتَ [And so that they may say, You have read, etc.]. Some say the first means: you have read the books of the people of the Scriptures; and the second: you have consulted, or conferred, with them, explained by ذَاكَرْتُهُمْ.

Or the first means: you have learned (Abu-l-'Abbás); and the second: you have read, or studied, under the Jews as your teachers, and they have read, or studied, under you as their teacher (I'Ab, Mujáhid).

Another reading is دَارَسَ, that is, دَارَسَ النَّبِىُّ اليَهُودَ [the Prophet has read, or studied, with the Jews]; and another is دَارَسَتْ, which may be taken in two ways: the Jews have read, or studied, or conferred, with Mohammad; or the signs have vied in age with those of other scriptures, so that most of them have become obliterated.

Another reading is دَرَسَتْ, and another دَرُسَتْ, both meaning: they (these stories, or histories) have become obliterated, or they are things that passed long ago (Abu-l-'Abbás). The second of the two verbs is more intensive, and it is also said to mean: they have been dissipated.

he read, or studied, under him as his teacher—دَرَسَ عَلَيْهِ

Like قَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ.

Qur’ānic occurrences Form 1
3:79
مَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَن يُؤْتِيَهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْحُكْمَ وَٱلنُّبُوَّةَ ثُمَّ يَقُولَ لِلنَّاسِ كُونُوا۟ عِبَادًا لِّى مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَـٰكِن كُونُوا۟ رَبَّـٰنِيِّـۧنَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تُعَلِّمُونَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَبِمَا كُنتُمْ تَدْرُسُونَ

It is not (possible) that a man, to whom is given the Book, and Wisdom, and the prophetic office, should say to people: "Be ye my worshippers rather than Allah's": on the contrary (He would say) "Be ye worshippers of Him Who is truly the Cherisher of all: For ye have taught the Book and ye have studied it earnestly."

6:105
وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ وَلِيَقُولُوا۟ دَرَسْتَ وَلِنُبَيِّنَهُۥ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ

Thus do we explain the signs by various (symbols): that they may say, "Thou hast taught (us) diligently," and that We may make the matter clear to those who know.

7:169
فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ وَرِثُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ يَأْخُذُونَ عَرَضَ هَـٰذَا ٱلْأَدْنَىٰ وَيَقُولُونَ سَيُغْفَرُ لَنَا وَإِن يَأْتِهِمْ عَرَضٌ مِّثْلُهُۥ يَأْخُذُوهُ ۚ أَلَمْ يُؤْخَذْ عَلَيْهِم مِّيثَـٰقُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ أَن لَّا يَقُولُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلْحَقَّ وَدَرَسُوا۟ مَا فِيهِ ۗ وَٱلدَّارُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

After them succeeded an (evil) generation: They inherited the Book, but they chose (for themselves) the vanities of this world, saying (for excuse): "(Everything) will be forgiven us." (Even so), if similar vanities came their way, they would (again) seize them. Was not the covenant of the Book taken from them, that they would not ascribe to Allah anything but the truth? and they study what is in the Book. But best for the righteous is the home in the Hereafter. Will ye not understand?

34:44
وَمَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُم مِّن كُتُبٍ يَدْرُسُونَهَا ۖ وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْهِمْ قَبْلَكَ مِن نَّذِيرٍ

But We had not given them Books which they could study, nor sent messengers to them before thee as Warners.

68:37
أَمْ لَكُمْ كِتَـٰبٌ فِيهِ تَدْرُسُونَ

Or have ye a book through which ye learn-
