muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarذُخْرٌ
Core sense — he hoarded it, treasured it, laid it up for a time of needgenerated
1.1
or this last is a simple noun and the maṣdar is ذَخْرٌ and اِدَّخَرَهُ, of the measure اِفْتَعَلَ, originally اِذْتَخَرَهُ, the ت being changed into د and the ذ being incorporated into it; some of the Arabs say اِذَّخَرَهُ, which is allowable, but the former is more common.
He hoarded it, treasured it, or laid it up for the future; he stored it away in secret; or he prepared it, or provided it, for a time of need. Or he chose it, or selected it, and took it for himself, or prepared it.
Some have made a distinction between ذخر and دخر, saying that the first relates to the world to come and the second to the present world; but this is a clear mistake.
