Kur [lxv. 7], سَيَجْعَلُ اللّٰهُ بَعْدَ عُسْرٍ يُسْرًا [God will give, after difficulty, ease]. (

TA.) And again, [xciv. 5 and 6,] فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا [And verily with difficulty shall be ease: verily with difficulty shall be ease]: on reciting which, Ibn-Mes'ood said, لَنْ يَغْلِبَ عُسْرٌ يُسْرَيْنِ [A difficulty will not predominate over twofold ease], which, says Abu-l-'Abbás, is meant as an explanation of the words of the
Kur immediately preceding it, agreeably with a rule mentioned by
Fr [and applying to most cases, but not to all]: for العسر being mentioned, and then repeated with ال, the latter is known to be the same as the former; and يسرا being mentioned, and repeated without ال, the latter is known to be different from the former. (

TA.)
b4: It is also said, لَوْ دَخَلَ العُسْرُ جُحْرًا لَدَخَلَ اليُسْرُ عَلَيْهِ [If difficulty were to enter a burrow in the ground, ease would enter upon it]. (

b5: As to ↓ مَعْسُورٌ, it is the
contr. of مَيْسُورٌ, and both are
inf. ns.: (
S, O:) or they are put in the places of عُسْرٌ and يُسْرٌ: (
TA:) or
accord. to
Sb, they both are epithets; for he holds that there is no
inf. n. of the measure مَفْعُولٌ; and the saying دَعْهُ إِلَى مَيْسُورِهِ وَإِلَى
مَعْسُورِهِ is
expl. as signifying Leave thou him to a thing in which he experiences ease, and to a thing in which he experiences difficulty: and مَعْقُولٌ is also
expl. in like manner. (
S, O.) [In like manner also,] فُلَانٍ ↓ بَلَغْتُ مَعْسُورَ [may be
expl. as signifying I effected a thing in which such a one experienced difficulty; meaning I treated such a one with hardness, harshness, or illnature; being] said when thou hast not treated the person of whom thou speakest with gentleness, graciousness, courtesy, or civility. (
O,
TA.) You also say, [using معسور and its

contr. of مَيْسَرَةٌ: (
O,
TA:) both
inf. ns.: (

O,
K,) and in the season of the ripening of the fruit, (
O,
TA,) so that it was hard to them; (
O,
K;) and because the Prophet never warred before with so numerous an army, amounting to thirty thousand. (

Lth,
Az,
S,
O,
TA,) or laden, (
TA,) before she has been trained: (

accord. to
