Core sense — he deceived him; it fed its young with its bill; he was inexperiencedgenerated

1.1he deceived him, he beguiled him, he made him desire what was vain, or falseغِرَّةٌ

. The latter is preferable, though less common, because the maṣdar of a transitive verb is hardly ever of the measure فُعُولٌ.

he deceived him, he beguiled himغَرَرٌ
the world deceived him by its finery, show, or pompغَرَّتْهُ الدُّنْيَا
What has deceived you, and led you into error, so that you have neglected what you owed to your Lord?مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ

Said of the devil.

Qur'ān 82:6. Aboo-Is-hák. Or: what has deceived you about your Lord, and led you to disobey Him and to feel secure from His punishment? Or: what has deceived you, and emboldened you to disobey your Lord?

But see بِ as meaning the same as عَنْ.

how is it that you are emboldened against such a one?مَا غَرَّكَ بِفُلَانٍ
Who has made you pursue a course without being rightly directed, with respect to such a one?مَنْ غَرَّكَ بِفُلَانٍ

That is, مَنْ أَوْطَأَكَ عُشْوَةً. See again form 4.

Who has made you pursue a course that is not plain, with respect to the case of such a one?مِنْ فُلَانٍ

Or: what has deceived you, and emboldened you against such a one? See also form 4.

he was deceived by such a one; he was deceived with deceit coming from such a oneغُرَّ مِنْ فُلَانٍ

That is, غُرَّ غُرُورًا صَادِرًا مِنْ فُلَانٍ.

See غَرِيرٌ as meaning the same as مَغْرُورٌ.

such a one exposed such a one to destructionغَرَّ فُلَانٌ فُلَانًا

Apparently by deceiving him.

Also: such a one acted with such a one in a manner resembling slaying with the edge of the sword. See form 3 in the article عطو.

1.2it fed its young one with its billغَرَّ فَرْخَهُ

or the latter is maṣdar of غَارَّ only.

he fed his female with his billغارّ أُنْثَاهُ

Said of a bird, or of a pigeon.

Maṣdar غِرَارٌ or مُغَارَّةٌ.

Said of the collared turtle-dove called قُمْرِىّ.

1.2.1figurative · مجاز — inferredhe used to nourish 'Alee with knowledge as the bird feeds its young oneكَانَ يَغُرُّ عَلِيًّا بِالعِلْمِ

From a tradition; said of the Prophet.

such a one has been nourished and instructed with knowledge with which others have notغُرَّ فُلَانٌ مِنَ العِلْمِ مَا لَمْ يُغَرُّهُ غَيْرُهُ
1.3he was inexperienced in affairs; he was ignorant of affairs; he was heedless of themغَرَّ

with kesr; or the verb is غَرَّ, second person غَرِرْتَ.

that was in the time of my inexperience and youthكَانَ ذٰلِكَ فِى غَرَارَتِى وَحَدَاثَتِى

Said of a man, or of a youth, or young man.

That is, فِى غِرَّتِى.

on this sense See also form 8.

1.3.1he acted in a youthful, or childish, mannerغَرَّ

Second person غَررْتَ with fet-h.

Or: he acted so after having soundness of judgment produced by experience.

But this conflicts with what J cites from Fr, in the article شد: that the muḍāriʿ of an intransitive verb of this class of the measure فَعَلَ should be of the measure يَفْعِلُ, with kesr to the ع.

1.4he had what is called a غُرَّة on his foreheadغَرَّ

Said of a horse and of a camel.

IAar in one place writes it غَرِرَ, to show that it is of the measure فَعِلَ, and that the second person is غَرِرْتَ, maṣdar غَرَرٌ and غُرَّةٌ; or the latter, as ISd thinks, is not a maṣdar but a noun.

his face had what is so called; his face became whiteغَراَرَةٌ
1.4.1he became eminent, or nobleغَرَّ

Said of a man..

1.4.2a grape-vine's quickly becoming tallغُرَّةٌ
1.5

See also form R. Q. 1.

1.6he poured the water on him, or on itغَرَّ عَلَيْهِ المَآءَ

Like قَرَّ.

pour into your watering-troughغُرَّ فِى حَوْضِكَ
fill your skin by putting it into the water and throwing the water into it with your hand, not stopping until you fill itغُرَّ فِى سِقَائِكَ

So Az relates it, according to the usage of the desert Arabs.

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا۟ لَن تَمَسَّنَا ٱلنَّارُ إِلَّآ أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُودَٰتٍ ۖ وَغَرَّهُمْ فِى دِينِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ

This because they say: "The Fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days": For their forgeries deceive them as to their own religion.

O men! Certainly the promise of Allah is true. Let not then this present life deceive you, nor let the Chief Deceiver deceive you about Allah.

The she-camel became scant of milk, or deficient in milk; or she took fright and drew up her milk after yielding milk freely.

Or: having yielded milk abundantly when her teats were stroked, and not being milked promptly, she drew up her milk and would not yield it plentifully until it collected again in her udder in the interval before the next milking.

Core sense — he emboldened him, or encouraged him, by deceiving him; he put him in dangergenerated

4.1

He, or it, emboldened him, or encouraged him, by deceiving him; the same as أَجْسَرَهُ. So AHeyth says, and he cites this verse:

shāhid
أَغَرَّ هِشَامًا مِنْ أَخِيهِ ٱبْنِ أُمِّهِقَوَادِمُ صَأْنٍ يَسَّرَتْ وَرَبِيعُ

The meaning is: [The teats of sheep that have yielded abundance of milk and of young, and spring herbage, that is,] the abundance of his sheep and their milk have emboldened Hishám against his brother, the son of his mother, to pursue a wrong course towards him and to forsake him, thinking himself independent of him.

The poet makes قوادم belong to sheep, whereas they properly belong to the udders of camels, using the word as a metaphor.

But I incline to think that the أَ in أَغَرَّ is the interrogative particle, and that its explanation is أَجَسَّرَ with the same particle; the more so as I have found no authority, if this is not one, for أَجْسَرَ in the sense of جَسَّرَ. The meaning of the verse would then be: Have the teats, and so on? And it shows that غَرَّهُ مِنْهُ, not أَغَرَّهُ, means جَسَّرَهُ عَلَيْهِ, like غَرَّهُ بِهِ. See form 1.

4.1.1

Also: he caused him to fall into peril, danger, or risk.

But perhaps this meaning too comes from a misunderstanding of the verse quoted above. See again form 1.

Aboo-'Amr Ibn-El-Alà is related to have said that it means there a white male slave or a white female slave; but the doctors of practical law do not make this a condition: they hold the word to mean a male or female slave whose price amounts to a tenth, or to a twentieth, of the whole price of blood; or a slave of the best sort.

The Rájiz says:

shāhid
كُلُّ قَتِيلٍ فِى كُلَيْبٍ غُرَّهْحَتَّى يَنَالَ القَتْلُ آلَ مُرَّهْ

According to one relation it is لا غرار فى صلاة ولا تَسْلِيمَ, meaning that the person praying shall not salute nor be saluted; in the first case تسليم is joined to صلاة, in the second to غرار, so that the meaning is: there shall be no deficiency nor salutation in prayer.

Nounغَرُورٌ2 senses

Core sense — very deceitful; a thing that deceives; a medicine used for garglinggenerated

1

Very deceitful; used in this sense as an adjective for the present world; or what deceives one, such as a man, a devil, or something else, such as property or wealth, rank or station, desire, or a devil.

غُرُورٌ means a thing by which one is deceived, of worldly goods or advantages.

Or the former means the devil in particular (Yaakoob), because he deceives people by false promises and by raising hopes; or because he urges a man to do the things that make him loved but that are followed by grief. According to ISk it has this last sense in the Qur'ān 31:33 and 35:5.

It also means the present world, as an adjective in which the quality of a noun predominates; and some assign this sense to it in the passages of the Qur'ān just mentioned.

It is masculine and feminine, as analogy requires.

Qur’ān 31:34 approximate — somewhere between 31:19 and 31:34 Lane cites “Kur xxxi. 33”
Qur’ān 31:33 located by this root inside the range Lane’s citation allows
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ وَٱخْشَوْا۟ يَوْمًا لَّا يَجْزِى وَالِدٌ عَن وَلَدِهِۦ وَلَا مَوْلُودٌ هُوَ جَازٍ عَن وَالِدِهِۦ شَيْـًٔا ۚ إِنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّ ۖ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُم بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْغَرُورُ

O mankind! do your duty to your Lord, and fear (the coming of) a Day when no father can avail aught for his son, nor a son avail aught for his father. Verily, the promise of Allah is true: let not then this present life deceive you, nor let the chief Deceiver deceive you about Allah.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

Also a medicine with which one gargles; a word like لَدُودٌ and لَعُوقٌ and سَعُوطٌ and سَفُوفٌ.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّ ۖ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُم بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْغَرُورُ

O men! Certainly the promise of Allah is true. Let not then this present life deceive you, nor let the Chief Deceiver deceive you about Allah.

57:14
يُنَادُونَهُمْ أَلَمْ نَكُن مَّعَكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ وَلَـٰكِنَّكُمْ فَتَنتُمْ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَتَرَبَّصْتُمْ وَٱرْتَبْتُمْ وَغَرَّتْكُمُ ٱلْأَمَانِىُّ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ وَغَرَّكُم بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْغَرُورُ

(Those without) will call out, "Were we not with you?" (The others) will reply, "True! but ye led yourselves into temptation; ye looked forward (to our ruin); ye doubted (Allah's Promise); and (your false) desires deceived you; until there issued the Command of Allah. And the Deceiver deceived you in respect of Allah.

1I am deceived by youأَنَا غَرَرٌ مِنْكَ

Deceived; beguiled; made to desire what is vain, or false; and so مَغْرُورٌ.

In the sense of مَغْرُورٌ.

مَغْرُورٌ also means a man who marries a woman in the belief that she is free, and finds her to be a slave.

1.1

See also غِرٌّ, in three places.

1.2I am one possessing knowledge in this affairأَنَا غَرِيرُكَ مِنْ هٰذَا الأَمْرِ
I caution you against himأَنَا غَرِيرُكَ مِنْهُ

Said in a proverb. AZ: meaning that when you ask me about it I will inform you about it without being prepared for it and without thinking it over. Z says the like: I am one who will answer you if you ask me unexpectedly about this affair, because my knowledge of the true state of the case is sound.

Or it means: I am a deceived informant of you about this affair; for, as As says, the meaning is that you are not deceived by me, but I am the one deceived — false information came to me, and I passed it on to you, and it was not as I told you; I only related what I had heard.

That is, مِنْ فُلَانٍ, against such a one; meaning, as Aboo-Nasr says in the Kitáb el-Ajnás, that nothing will happen to you from him whereby you will be deceived, as though he said: I am your surety for that.

Hence, apparently, it is said that غَرِيرٌ also means a surety, sponsor, or guarantee.

Said of a man when he has grown old and become evil in disposition. Or: what deceived and pleased has gone from him, and what is disliked in him, of evilness of disposition and the like, has come. (Meyd)
