Form 1غَدَرَهُ7 senses

muḍāriʿـِيَفْعِلُ·ـُيَفْعُلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarغَدْرٌ غَدَرٌ

Core sense — he acted treacherously to him; he lagged behind; the night became darkgenerated

1.1he acted perfidiously, or treacherously, to him; he broke his compact with him—غَدَرَ بِهِ

and غَدُرَ and غَدِرَ, but ISd doubts the correctness of this last.

of غَدَرَ; and غَدَرٌ (which in the CK stands in place of غَدْر) and غَدَرَانٌ, both of غَدِرَ.

Also: he neglected the fulfilment of his compact with him.

غَدْرٌ is the opposite of وَفَآءٌ, or of وَفَآءٌ بِعَهْدٍ; or it means being remiss in a thing and neglecting it.

1.2he drank the water of the pool left by a torrent—غَدَرَ

. The water meant is that of the غَدِير.

According to the K, غَدِرَ means he drank the water of the sky; but this is a plain mistake, caused by misunderstanding a saying in the T, which follows.

Az says that غَدَرَ, in the sense explained above, should by analogy be غَدِرَ, like كَرِعَ meaning "he drank the كَرَع", that is, the water of the sky.

A distinction is also strangely made in the K between the water of the غَدِير and the water of the sky.

1.3

غَدَرَتْ وَلَدَهَا, said of a woman, is like دَغَرَتْهُ.

1.4he remained, or lagged, behind—غَدِرَ

. Also تغدّر, according to As, who cites this verse of Imra-el-Keys: [In the evening when we passed beyond Hamáh, and our journeying was laborious, we not waiting for such as lagged behind]

shāhid

عَشِيَّةَ جَاوَزْنَا حَمَاةَ وَسَيْرُنَاأَخُو الجَهْدِ لَا نَلْوِى عَلَى مِنْ تَغْدَّرَا

But according to one relation it is تَعَذَّرَ, which means the same, or "held back, or withheld himself, for a cause that excused him".

he remained, or lagged, behind his companions—غَدِرَ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِ

the she-camel lagged behind the other camels, not coming up to them—غَدِرَتِ النَّاقَةُ عَنِ الإِبِلِ

the sheep, or goat, lagged behind the other sheep, or goats—الشَّاةُ عَنِ الغَنَمِ

such a one remained after the death of his brothers—غَدَرَ فُلَانٌ بَعْدَ إِخْوَتِهِ

But غَدَرَ here is apparently a mistake for غَدِرَ, unless both forms are allowable.

1.5the night became dark, or became intensely dark—غَدِرَ اللَّيْلُ

Also غَدِرَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ, maṣdar غَدَرٌ and أَغْدَرَت.

1.6the sheep, or goats, became satiated in the pasture at the first of its growth—غَدِرَتِ الغَنَمُ

1.7the land abounded with pools of water left by torrents—غَدِرَتِ الأَرْضُ

That is, with غَدَر.

Of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مُفَاعِلٌ, from غَادَرهُ; or مُفْعَلٌ from أَغْدَرَهُ; or, as some say, of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure فَاعِلٌ, because it is unfaithful to those who come to water at it, failing when it is much wanted; but it is a substantive, [not an adjective; or an adjective in which the quality of a substantive predominates, and used only as a substantive:] you do not say هٰذَا مَآءٌ غَدِيرٌ.

Plural [of paucity أَغْدِرَةٌ (occurring in a verse cited under إِلَّا) and of multitude] غُدْرَانٌ and غُدُرٌ, the last of which is sometimes contracted into غُدْرٌ.

Core sense — perfidious, unfaithful, treacherous; one who breaks his covenantgenerated

1[O very perfidious man]—يَا غُذَرُ

غُدَرٌ [respecting which see below] and غَدُورٌ and غَدَّارٌ and غِدِّيرٌ are adjectives applied to a man, the first meaning perfidious, unfaithful, or treacherous, or acting perfidiously, and the rest very perfidious.

And غَدُورٌ and غَدَّارٌ and غَدَّارَةٌ are adjectives applied to a woman, with the same meaning.

But غُدَر is mostly used in calling to a man and reviling him.

One says likewise يَا مَغْدَرُ and يا مَغْدِرُ and يَا ٱبْنَ مَغْدَرٍ and يا ابن مَغْدِرٍ, all determinate.

And to a woman one says يا غَدَارِ, like قَطَامِ.

[According to some, غُدَر is used only in this way, and is therefore without tanwīn; for] it is said that رَجُلٌ غُدَرُ is not allowable, because غُدَرُ is determinate.

But Sh says رَجُلٌ غُدَرٌ, writing it, according to Az, with tanwīn, contrary to what Lth says; and this is correct, a word of the measure فُعَل being imperfectly declinable [only] when it is a determinate substantive, like عُمَرُ and زُفَرُ.

IAth says that غُدَرُ is altered from its original form, which is غَادِرٌ, to make it more intensive.

In the plural you say يَالَ غُدَرَ or يَا لَغُدَرَ [for يَا آلَ غُدَرَ (see the letter ل, and see آلٌ in the article اول)], like يَا لَفُجَرَ.

[apparently meaning: O very perfidious one, am I not striving to set right your act of perfidy?]—أَلَسْتُ أَسْعَى فِى غَدْرَتِكَ يَا

Said in a tradition; but in one copy, غُدْرَتِكَ.

[O very perfidious one: and did you wash away your act of perfidy only yesterday?]—وَهَلْ غُدَرُ يَا إِلَّا بِٱلْأَمْسِ غَدْرَتَكَ غَسَلْتَ

[Sit, O very perfidious one]—اِجْلِسْ غُدَرُ

In another tradition, relating to El-Hodeybiyeh; said by 'Orweh Ibn-Mes'ood to El-Mugheereh.

In another tradition; for يَا غُدَرُ; said by 'Áïsheh to El-Kásim.

1.1figurative · مجازyears in which there is much rain and little herbage—سِنُونَ غَدَّارَةٌ

From the maṣdar الغَدْرُ: such years excite people's eager desire for abundance of herbage by the rain, and then fail to fulfil their promise.

1.2figurative · مجاز — inferred

[غَدِرٌ appears to mean the same as غَادِرٌ, for] غَدِرَةٌ occurs in a tradition applied to land, as though meaning not producing herbage bountifully, or giving growth to herbage and then soon becoming blighted; and for this reason it is likened to the غَادِر who acts unfaithfully.

See also غُدْرَةٌ, last sentence.

(TA.) [And غَدِرٌ is app. syn. with غَادِرٌ ; for] غَدِرَةٌ occurs in a trad. applied to land ( أَرْض ), as though meaning Not producing herbage bountifully; or giving growth to herbage, and then soon becoming blighted, or blasted; wherefore it is likened to the غَادِر , who acts unfaithfully.
