maṣdarهَوْرٌmuḍāriʿيَهُورُهُ يَهُورُهُمْ يَهُورُ

Core sense — he threw it down, he demolished it; it fell in ruinsgenerated

1.1he threw it down, pulled it down, or demolished it—هوّرهُ

Said of a building, and in the same way of a جُرْف [i.e. an abrupt, water-worn bank, rising by the bed of a torrent or stream].

هُؤُورٌ is given as a maṣdar of this verb, but it is more probably a maṣdar of the intransitive verb only, as analogy requires.

Here the pronoun relates to a building, and to a جُرْف, and هيّرهُ [for which see what is said of تهيّر below]; from the article هير.

he threw it down, or pulled it down—تهوّرهُ

Here the pronoun relates to the upper part of a جُرْف, or to the brink of a well.

1.1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredhe slew the people and threw them down prostrate, one upon another—هَارَ القَوْمَ

Like a جُرْف falling down.

he struck such a one and prostrated him—ضَرَبَ فُلَانًا فَهَارَهُ

Also هوّرهُ.

1.1.2it was thrown down, pulled down, or demolished; it fell in ruins—هَارَ

maṣdar هَوْرٌ and هُؤُورٌ.

Said of a building, and of a جُرْف [explained above].

Also انهار, تهوّر, and تهيّر; the last has ى as interchangeable with و, or it may be of the measure تَفَيْعَلَ [originally تَهَيْوَرَ].

Or: it fell, tumbled down, collapsed, or broke down, said of a building; also انهار and تهوّر, said of a building, and of a جُرْف or of its upper part, and of the brink of a well; and اِهْتَوَرَ probably means the same.

Or: it cracked without falling, said of a جُرْف; or it cracked in its hinder part, while still remaining in its place, said of a building.

أَفَمَنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَـٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ تَقْوَىٰ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضْوَٰنٍ خَيْرٌ أَم مَّنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَـٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَٱنْهَارَ بِهِۦ فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Which then is best? - he that layeth his foundation on piety to Allah and His good pleasure? - or he that layeth his foundation on an undermined sand-cliff ready to crumble to pieces? and it doth crumble to pieces with him, into the fire of Hell. And Allah guideth not people that do wrong.
