muḍāriʿـِيَفْعِلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُ·ـُيَفْعُلُيَقَارُmaṣdarوَقَارٌ قُرَّةٌ قَرٌّ

Core sense — he settled, remained at rest, in the place; it was cold; he poured it outgenerated

1.1he, or it, settled in the place; became firm, steady, or established; remained at rest—فِيهِ

First person قَرَرْتُ; also first person قَرِرْتُ, but the former is the more usual.

Maṣdar قَرَارٌ of both verbs, or this is a simple noun; and قُرُورٌ of the former verb; and قَرٌّ and تَقِرَّةٌ, this last being irregular; and تَقْرَارَةٌ and استقرّ بِهِ, or فِيهِ and تقارَّ, originally تَقَارَرَ فِيهِ and تقرّر [and اقترّ, as appears from an example below].

Synonymous with ثَبَتَ وَسَكَنَ and تَمَكَّنَ [which, when said of a man, particularly implies being in authority and power]. See also form 4.

In the words of the Qur'ān 33:33, وَقِرْنَ فِى بُيُوتِكُنَّ and وَقَرْنَ [And remain in your houses, or chambers].

قِرْنَ and قَرْنَ are contractions of اِقْرِرْنَ and اِقْرَرْنَ, just as ظِلْنَ and ظَلْنَ are contractions of اِظْلِلْنَ and اِظْلَلْنَ [but see ظَلَّ]; or قِرْنَ is from وَقَرَ, and قَرْنَ is from قَارَ, meaning اِجْتَمَعَ.

begin by crying out to them, and they will become quiet—اِبْدَأْهُمْ بِالصُّرَاخِ يَقِرُّوا

Said as a proverb. Or: begin by complaining of them, and they will be content to keep quiet. [But see Freytag's Arab. Prov., 1.173, where, instead of يَقِرُّوا, we find يَفِرُّوا.]

such a one does not rest, or remain, in his place—فُلَانٌ مَا يَتَقَارُّ فِى مَكَانِهِ

That is, مَا يَسْتَقِرُّ.

and I did not delay to rise, or stand up—فَلَمْ أَتَقَارَّ أَنْ قُمْتُ
she suffers quietly what is done to her, such as being kissed—تَقِرُّ لِمَا يُصْنَعُ بِهَا
the seed of the stallion remained in the womb of the she-camel—اِقْتَرَّ مَآءُ الفَحْلِ فِى الرَّحِمِ

From a tradition of Aboo-Dharr.

Said of a woman.

The same as استقرّ. See also قَرٌّ and قَرَارٌ below.

1.2it (the day) was, or became, cold—قَرَّ

Like لَبِسَ and تَعِبَ [so that the second person is قَرِرْتَ]; and قَرَّ, like ضَرَبَ [second person قَرَرْتَ]; and قَرَّ [second person قَرَرْتَ or قَرُرْتَ].

According to MF, Lh mentions the muḍāriʿ forms قَرُرَ and قَرِرَ in his Nawādir; IKtt gives the three forms of muḍāriʿ, and so does the author of the Maʿālim; but IKtt says, in his Kitāb el-Abniyeh, يَقَرُّ and يَقِرُّ, though he may have given the three forms in another book; and according to what is stated in the L, Lh says يَقُرُّ and يَقَرُّ, which is a rare form. [ISd, IKtt and Mtr mention the form قَرَرَ first, as though to indicate that it is the more, or most, common.]

Maṣdar قَرٌّ or قُرٌّ, or the latter is a simple noun.

One says the same of the night: قَرّتِ اللَّيْلَةُ.

1.2.1he (a man) was, or became, affected, or smitten, by the cold—قُرَّ

One does not say قَرَّهُ ٱللّٰهُ; instead one says أَقَرَّهُ.

1.2.2and when I became quiet, I felt the cold—فَلَمَّا أَخْبَرْتُهُ خَبَرَ القَوْمِ وَقَرِرْتُ قَرَرْتُ

From a tradition about the war of the Moat; the full sense is: and when I had told him the news of the people and became quiet, I felt the cold. [But perhaps the last word should be قُرِرْتُ.]

1.2.3figurative · مجازhis eye was, or became, cool, or refreshed—قَرَّتْ عَيْنُهُ

Of the measure فَعِلَتْ, like تَعِبَتْ [second person قَرِرْتِ], which is the more usual form; and قَرِّتْ, like ضَرَبَتْ [second person قَرَرْتِ], said by Th to be a maṣdar, and قَرَّةٌ and قُرُورٌ.

It is the opposite of سَخِنَتْ, and for that reason some prefer that قَرَّتْ should be of the measure فَعِلَتْ, so as to agree in measure with its opposite.

Or it became cool by reason of happiness, or joy: or it became cool and ceased to weep and to feel hot with tears, for the tear of joy is cool and that of grief is hot; so it may be rendered: his eye was unheated by tears. Or it is from القَرَارُ, meaning that his eye, seeing what it longed for, became at rest and slept.

I was, or became, cool, or refreshed, in eye by it—قَرِرْتُ بِهِ عَيْنًا

Also قَرَرْتُ بِهِ عَيْنًا; the maṣdar of both forms is قُرَّةٌ and قُرُورٌ. See also form 4.

1.3he poured it out, namely water; he poured it out at once—قَرَّهُ

.

he poured the water on him—قَرَّ عَلَيْهِ المَآءَ
I poured a bucket of cold water on his head—قَرَرْتُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ذَنُوبًا مِنْ مَآءٍ بَارِدٍ
he poured the water into the vessel—قَرَّ المَآءَ فِى الإِنَآءِ
1.3.1figurative · مجازhe poured the speech, or narration, into his ear—قَرَّ الكَلَامَ فِى أُذُنِهِ

Also الحَدِيثَ.

Or he did as though he poured it into his ear: or he entrusted him with it: or he spoke it secretly into his ear: or he repeated it in his ear, the ear of a dumb man, so that he might understand it: or he put his mouth to his ear and spoke loudly to him, as one does to a deaf man.

19:26
فَكُلِى وَٱشْرَبِى وَقَرِّى عَيْنًا ۖ فَإِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ ٱلْبَشَرِ أَحَدًا فَقُولِىٓ إِنِّى نَذَرْتُ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ صَوْمًا فَلَنْ أُكَلِّمَ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِنسِيًّا

"So eat and drink and cool (thine) eye. And if thou dost see any man, say, 'I have vowed a fast to (Allah) Most Gracious, and this day will I enter into not talk with any human being'"

20:40
إِذْ تَمْشِىٓ أُخْتُكَ فَتَقُولُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن يَكْفُلُهُۥ ۖ فَرَجَعْنَـٰكَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ كَىْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ ۚ وَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا فَنَجَّيْنَـٰكَ مِنَ ٱلْغَمِّ وَفَتَنَّـٰكَ فُتُونًا ۚ فَلَبِثْتَ سِنِينَ فِىٓ أَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ ثُمَّ جِئْتَ عَلَىٰ قَدَرٍ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ

"Behold! thy sister goeth forth and saith, 'shall I show you one who will nurse and rear the (child)?' So We brought thee back to thy mother, that her eye might be cooled and she should not grieve. Then thou didst slay a man, but We saved thee from trouble, and We tried thee in various ways. Then didst thou tarry a number of years with the people of Midian. Then didst thou come hither as ordained, O Moses!

28:13
فَرَدَدْنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّهِۦ كَىْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ وَلِتَعْلَمَ أَنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Thus did We restore him to his mother, that her eye might be comforted, that she might not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true: but most of them do not understand.

33:33
وَقَرْنَ فِى بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ ٱلْجَـٰهِلِيَّةِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَأَقِمْنَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتِينَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَطِعْنَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥٓ ۚ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ ٱلرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا

And stay quietly in your houses, and make not a dazzling display, like that of the former Times of Ignorance; and establish regular Prayer, and give regular Charity; and obey Allah and His Messenger. And Allah only wishes to remove all abomination from you, ye members of the Family, and to make you pure and spotless.

33:51
تُرْجِى مَن تَشَآءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُـْٔوِىٓ إِلَيْكَ مَن تَشَآءُ ۖ وَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَيْتَ مِمَّنْ عَزَلْتَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ أَدْنَىٰٓ أَن تَقَرَّ أَعْيُنُهُنَّ وَلَا يَحْزَنَّ وَيَرْضَيْنَ بِمَآ ءَاتَيْتَهُنَّ كُلُّهُنَّ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى قُلُوبِكُمْ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَلِيمًا

Thou mayest defer (the turn of) any of them that thou pleasest, and thou mayest receive any thou pleasest: and there is no blame on thee if thou invite one whose (turn) thou hadst set aside. This were nigher to the cooling of their eyes, the prevention of their grief, and their satisfaction - that of all of them - with that which thou hast to give them: and Allah knows (all) that is in your hearts: and Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.

Allah said: "Do ye agree, and take this my Covenant as binding on you?" They said: "We agree." He said: "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses."

O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of dust, then out of sperm, then out of a leech-like clot, then out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (our power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We bring you out as babes, then (foster you) that ye may reach your age of full strength; and some of you are called to die, and some are sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after having known (much), and (further), thou seest the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells, and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs).

(TA.) And in a trad. of Aboo-Moosà, أُقِرَّتْ الصَّلَاةُ بِٱلْبِرِّ والزَّكَاةِ Prayer is established and connected with برّ and زكاة [i. e., benevolent treatment of others or piety or obedience to God, and the giving of the alms required by the law].

And Moses fell down in a swoon. When he recovered his senses he said: "Glory be to Thee! to Thee I turn in repentance, and I am the first to believe."

1.1the day of resting; the eleventh day of Dhu-l-Ḥijjeh—يَوْمُ القَرِّ

So called because the people rest, or settle, in their dwellings on that day: or because they rest on that day in the valley of Minè, after the fatigue of the three days just before.

It is the first of the days called أَيَّامُ التَّشْرِيقِ, the day after the one called يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ [or the day of the sacrifice, or of the slaughtering of camels].

2a cold, chill, or cool day, or night—يَوْمٌ قَرٌّ

The maṣdar is thus used as an adjective. Also قَارٌّ, but this last was disapproved by IAar; and مَقْرُورٌ and لَيْلَةٌ قَرَّةٌ and قَارَّةٌ.

قَرٌّ is applied to anything to mean cold [and so, it seems, قَارٌّ, and perhaps قَرُورٌ and قَرِيرٌ].

A state of settledness, fixedness, stability, quiet, rest, permanence, or continuance; and so is مُسْتَقَرٌّ in the Qur'ān 2:34 and 7:23, or in those two places the latter is a noun of place.

Qur'ān 40:42. See the article دور and others.

A place, and a time, of settledness, stability, quiet, rest, permanence, or continuance; a resting-place; the same as مُسْتَقَرٌّ [and مَقَرٌّ] and قُرٌّ.

Also مُسْتَقَرِّهِ. The meaning may be: it came to its state of settledness; the explanation given is that it came to its end and became settled.

and the sun runs to a place, and time, beyond which it does not pass—وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِى لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَهَا

Qur'ān 36:38. Or to a term appointed for it: or to a determined limit where its revolution ends, likened to the مستقرّ of a traveller when he ends his journey: or to the middle of the sky, for it there seems to pause: or to its state of settledness along a special path: or to its appointed end in one of the different places of rising and setting that it has on different days: or to the end of its course, in the desolate part of the world.

According to other readings, لَا مُسْتَقَرَّ لَهَا and لَا مُسْتَقَرٌّ لَهَا, meaning that it has no rest, for it is always in motion.

Qur'ān 6:98; the depository being in the spermatic sources in the back.

But some read فَمُسْتَقِرٌّ وَمُسْتَوْدَعٌ, meaning: and there is such as is yet remaining in the womb, or such as is established in the present world, in existence, and such as is deposited in the back, not yet created: or such as remains among the living, and such as is deposited in the earth among the dead: or such as has been born and has appeared upon the earth, and such as is in the womb: or such as yet remains in the back, and such as is deposited in the womb.

Sometimes they said وَقَعَتْ بِقُرِّهَا [it fell in its settled place]; and بِقُرِّهِ وَقَعَ الأَمْرُ, that is, بِمُسْتَقَرِّهِ [the thing fell in the place where it did, or should, rest].

Said to a man who seeks blood-revenge, when he meets the slayer of his relation.

لَقَدْ وَقَعْتُ بِقُرِّكَ and بِقُحَاحِ قُرِّكَ also mean: I have come to know all that you know, none of it being hidden from me. (Ibn-Buzurj; see the article قح.)

I will drive you, against your will, to the utmost point you can be brought to—لَأُلْجِثَنَّكَ إِلَى قُرِّ قَرَارِكَ

A proverb, used in threatening another, meaning الى أَصْلِكَ وَجَهْدِكَ, and: I will constrain you to do your utmost. (JK. Or the meaning is: I will drive you, against your will, to the place you deserve: or to the place where you shall remain: or to your grave: or to your worst and lowest condition; see Freytag's Arab. Prov. 2.450.)

2.1the people residing in such a region—أَهْلُ القَرَارِ

A region, or place, of fixed abode; the same as مِنَ مُسْتَقَرٌّ الأَرْضِ: a region, district, or tract of cities, towns, or villages, and of cultivated land; synonymous with حَضَرٌ.

Hence also قَرَارِىٌّ, q. v.

the seat of regal power—مُسْتَقَرُّ المُلْكِ وَغَيْرِهِ
2.2my knowledge beside his knowledge is like a small pool left by a torrent—عِلْمِى إِلَى عِلْمِهِ كَالقَرَارَةِ فِى المُثْعَنْجَرِ

The same as مَا قَرَّ فِيهِ, or ما قُرَّ فيه, that is, ما قرّ فيه الماء, apparently meaning a place in which water has remained, or been poured; and so is قَرَارَةٌ: a depressed piece of ground.

Or the latter word is applied to any depressed piece of ground into which water pours and where it remains; such ground is fertile if the soil is soft: and to a round tract of level, or level and depressed, ground: and to a low meadow: and to a small pool of water left by a torrent. See the article ثعجر.

The former of the two words is also explained as a depressed place where water rests, as in the Qur'ān 23:52; and as a place where water rests in a meadow.

It is also a plural, or rather a collective noun, whose single word is قَرَارَةٌ; and قَرَارٌ is applied to low grounds because water rests in them.

Ibn-ʿAbbās said this of ʿAlee: a pool set beside the main deep, or middle, of the sea. See the article ثعجر.

2.3

The bottom of the sea and the like.

Core sense — a flask, bottle, or phial; the black of the eye; a woman, or wifegenerated

1

A flask or bottle — in present-day use generally a phial: the thing in which wine, or beverage, and the like, rests or remains: or it is of glass only, a kind of glass vessel. Plural قَوَارِيرُ; the diminutive is قُوَيْرِيرَةٌ.

قَوَارِيرَ قَوَارِيرَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ in the Qur'ān 76:15 and 16 is said by some learned men to mean vessels, white as silver and clear as قوارير. [See also the article فض.]

Some add an ا to the final قوارير [of verse 15] so that the ends of the verses match.

1.1

A receptacle for fresh, or dried, dates; also called قَوْصَرَةٌ.

1.2figurative · مجاز

The black of the eye; the part of the eye that is surrounded by the white: likened to a قارورة of glass because of its clearness, and because the observer sees his own image in it. [See an example in a verse cited in the first paragraph of the article سلب.]

1.3figurative · مجازgo leisurely: deal gently with the glass vessels—رُوَيْدَكَ رِفْقًا بِٱلْقَوَارِيرِ

A woman, or wife; also قَوْصَرَّةٌ. She is called by the first name because the child, or the seed, rests in her womb as a thing rests in a vessel, and because she is likened to a glass vessel on account of her weakness.

Words of Moḥammad in a tradition; the قَوَارير are the women, likened here to قوارير of glass because of their weakness of purpose and their fickleness, for such vessels are soon broken and cannot be made sound again.

The meaning is that the man addressed, named أَنْجَشَة (Anjesheh), a freedman of Moḥammad, should not raise his voice and sing in driving the camels, for fear the women's desires be excited by what they heard, or for fear the camels, hearing the singing, should go quickly and jolt and tire the riders.
