As, *
S, *

TA. [And ادبر (

M,
TA.)
b6: And دَبَرَ (
tropical:) He became an old man. (

TA.
[See also 4.])

Kur-án, and endeavour to obtain a clear knowledge of what is in it? (
Bd:) and again, in the
Kur [xxiii. 70], القَوْلَ ↓ أَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا Have they, then, not thought upon, (
TA,) and endeavoured to understand, (يَتَفَهَّمُوا,
K,) what has been said to them in the

Msb.) [and He devised, planned, or plotted, a thing, عَلَى غَيْرِهِ

You say, دبّر أُمُورَ البِلَادِ, and, elliptically, دبّر البِلَادَ, He managed, conducted, ordered, or regulated, the affairs of the provinces, or country: and in like manner, the affairs of a house. تَدْبِيرٌ is also attributed to irrational animals; as, for

S,
M,
K,) after his death: (
S,

Sh says that دبّر الحَدِيثَ is unknown; but so the phrase is related on the authority of
A'Obeyd: Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà [i. e.
Th] disallows يُدَبِّرُهُ as meaning he relates it; and says that it is يَذْبُرُهُ, with ذ, meaning “he knows it, or learns it, well, soundly, or thoroughly;”

مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَالَمْ يَسْتَقْبِلْ He knew at the end of his affair, or case, what he did not know at the beginning of it. (

b4: استدبرهُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ He appropriated it to himself exclusively, in preference to others: (
AO,
K:) because he who does so turns his back upon others, and retires from them. (
TA.) El-Aashà says, describing wine, عَلَى الشَّرْبِ أَوْ مُنْكِرٍ مَا عُلِمْ تَمَزَّرْتُهَاغَيْرَ مُسْتَدْبِرٍ

TA as meaning a channel of water; but it seems to be here used as meaning a portion of ground separated from the adjacent parts, for sowing or planting, being surrounded by dams, or by ridges of earth, which retain the water for irrigation, as explained in art. شور, and as is indicated by its Persian equivalent here following,] in, (
S,) or of, (

that is sown or for sowing; (
S,
K;) called in Persian كُرْد: (
S:) and دِبَارٌ signifies small channels for irrigation between tracts of seedproduce; (
K;) and its

TA:) [
Mtr says,] دَبْرَةٌ is
syn. with مَشَارَةٌ; in Persian كَرْدَه [
app. a mistranscription for كُرْد as above]; and the
pl. is دَبْرٌ and دِبَارٌ: (
Mgh:) [
ISd says,] دَبْرَةٌ signifies a small channel for irrigation between tracts of land sown or for sowing: or, as some say,
i. q. مَشَارَةٌ: and the
pl. is دِبَارٌ: it is also said that دِبَارٌ signifies
i. q. كُرْدَةٌ; and its
n. un. is دِبَارَةٌ: and دِبَارَاتٌ signifies rivulets that flow through land of seed-produce; and its
sing. is دَبْرَةٌ: but I know not how this is, unless دَبْرَةٌ
have دِبَارٌ for its
pl., and this have ة added to it, as in فِحَالَةٌ, and so دبارات be a
pl. pl., i. e. perfect
pl. of دِبَارَةٌ:
AHn says that دَبْرَةٌ signifies a patch of ground that is sown; [as is also said in the
K;] and the

مِنَ المُسْلِمِينَ [I would not that I had a mountain of gold and that I had harmed a man of the Muslims]: (
T,
K:) but [
SM says that] this is a confounding of two readings; which are, دَبْرًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ and أَنْ يَكُونَ دَبْرٌ لِى ذَهَبًا: (

K) and [of mult.] دُبُورٌ: (
As,
S,
K:) and ↓ دَبُورٌ, with fet-h to the first letter, signifies bees; and has no proper
sing. (
M.) 'Ásim Ibn-
Thábit El-Ansáree was called حَمِىُّ الدَّبْرِ [The protected of hornets, or bees], because his corpse was protected from his enemies by large hornets, (
S,) or by a swarm of bees. (

K,) Much property or wealth; or many camels or the like; (

epithet]
مَالٌ دِبْرٌ and مَالَانِ دِبْرٌ and أَمْوَالٌ دِبْرٌ: (
S,
M:) this mode of usage is best known; but sometimes دُبُورٌ is used as its
pl.: (
M:) in like manner you say مَالٌ دَثْرٌ: and you say also رَجُلٌ ذُو
دِبْرٍ, (

sunset, [then is the glory of the generous man, and the time for the burden of the full-grown hecamel; for] then is the most intense degree of cold, when none but the generous and noble and ingenuous man will patiently persevere in the exercise of hospitality and beneficence, and when the heavy burden is not laid save upon the strong full-grown he-camel, because then the camels become lean and the pasturage is scanty. (
M.)
A2: Also, and so is أَدْبَارٌ, a
pl. [or rather the former is a
coll. gen. n.] of ↓ دَبَرَةٌ, (
S,
M,
K,) which signifies A gall, or sore, on the back (
M, *
Mgh,
K, *
TA) of a horse or the like (
M,
K,
TA) and of a camel, (
M,
Mgh,) produced by the saddle and the like; (
Mgh;) and also on the كِرْكِرَة
[or callous projection on the breast] of a camel. (
S and
K in art. سر.) They used to say, in the Time of Ignorance, إِذَا بَرَأَ الدَّبَرُ وَعَفَا الأَثَرُ, explained as meaning [When] the galls on the back of the beast or upon the foot of the camel [shall heal, and the footstep, or mark, become obliterated]. (
TA from a
trad.)
A3: Also
inf. n. of دَبِرَ. (

Mgh.)
دَبِرٌ (
M,
K) and ↓ أَدْبَرُ (
M) A horse or the like, (
M,
K,) and a camel, (
M,) having galls, or sores, (
M,
K,) on his back (
TA) [produced by the saddle and the like; having his back galled: see دَبَرٌ]:
fem. [of the former] دَبِرَةٌ and [of the latter]
↓ دَبْرَآءُ: and
pl. [of either] دَبْرَى. (
M,
TA.)
[Hence the
prov.,] هَانَ عَلَى الأَمْلَسِ مَا لَاقَى الدَّبِرُ
[What he that had galls on his back experienced was a light matter to him that had a sound back]: applied to one who has an ill concern for his companion. (
K.)
b2: In the phrase رَجُلٌ
خَسِرٌ وَدَبِرٌ [
app. meaning A man erring and perishing],
Lh says that دَبِرٌ is an
imitative sequent to خَسِرٌ: but [
ISd says,] I think that خَسِرٌ is a verbal
epithet, and that دَبِرٌ is a possessive
epithet. (
M in art. دمر.) You say also أَحْمَقٌ
دَامِرٌ ↓ خَاسِرٌ دَابِرٌ: (
T in art. بت: [see art. خسر:]) and دَابِرٌ is said to be an
imitative sequent to خَاسِرٌ. (
TA.)
دُبُرٌ and ↓ دُبْرٌ, (the latter a contraction of the former,
Msb, [and not so commonly used, like as إِبْلٌ is not so commonly used as إِبِلٌ,]) The back;
syn. ظَهْرٌ: (
S,
A,
B,
K;) the first signification given in the [
S and] A and

pl. أَدْبَارٌ. (
TA.)
You say, وَلَّى دُبُرَهُ [
lit., He turned his back; and tropically,] (
tropical:) he was put to flight. (
A.)
And وَلَّاهُ دُبُرَهُ [
lit., He turned his back to him; and tropically,] the same as the phrase immediately preceding. (
Mgh,
Msb.) It is said in the
Kur [liv. 45], وَيُوَلُّونَ الدُّبُرَ [And they shall turn the back, in flight]: where الدبر is used in a collective sense, agreeably with another passage in the
Kur [xiv. 44], لَا يَرْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْ. (
S,
B.)
You also say, ↓ وَلَّوْا دَبْرَةً (
tropical:) They turned back in flight, or being routed. (
A,
TA.)
b2: The back, or hinder part,
contr. of قُبُلٌ, (
S,
A,
Msb,
K,) of anything: (
Msb:) as, for instance, of a shirt. (
Kur xii. 25, 27, and 28.) You say, وَقَعَ السَّهْمُ
بِدُبْرِ الهَدَفِ The arrow fell behind the butt. (
TA in art. قبل.)
b3: The backside; posteriors; buttocks; rump; or podex: and the anus:
syn. اِسْتٌ. (
K.) [It has the former of these two significations in many instances; and the latter of them in many other instances: in the
S and
K in art. جعر, it is given as a
syn. of مَجْعَرٌ, which has the latter signification in the present day. This latter signification may also be intended in the
S,
M,
A,
Msb, and
K, by the explanation “
contr. of قُبُلٌ,” as well as the “ back, or hinder part,” of anything: for قُبُلٌ very often signifies the “ anterior pudendum ” of a man or woman, and is so explained. The anus is also called حَلْقَةُ الدُّبُرِ and حِتَارُ الدُّبُرِ and شَرَجُ الدُّبُرِ.] Its
pl. أَدْبَارٌ is also applied to the part which comprises the اِسْت [or anus] and the حَيَآء [or vulva, i. e., external portion of the female organs of generation,] of a solid-hoofed animal, and of a cloven-hoofed
animal, and of that which has claws, or talons: or, as some say, of a camel, or an animal having feet like those of the camel: and the
sing., to the حَيَآء [or vulva] alone, of any such animal. (
M,
TT.)
b4: (assumed
tropical:) The latter, or last, part, (
T,
S,
M,
Msb,

K:)
pl. أَدْبَارٌ (
M) [and دِبَارٌ: see دَبَرِىٌّ]. [See also دَابِرٌ.]
One says, جِئْتُكَ دُبُرِ الشَّهْرِ, and فِى دُبُرِهِ, and عَلَى
دُبُرِهِ, and أَدْبَارَ الشَّهْرِ, and فِى أَدْبَارِهِ, (
tropical:) I came to thee in the latter, or last, part or parts, of the month. (
M,
K.) And أَدْعُو لَكَ فِى أَدْبَارِ الصَّلَوَاتِ (assumed
tropical:) [I will petition for thee in the latter, or last, parts, or the conclusions, of the prayers]. (
A.)
See also دَبَرِىٌّ. In the
Kur [I. xxxix.], وَأَدْبَارَ
السُّجُودِ signifies (assumed
tropical:) And in the latter parts, or the ends, of the prayers: and السُّجُودِ ↓ وَإِدْبَارَ [virtually] signifies the same [i. e. and in the ending of prostration], and is another reading of the text:
Ks and
Th adopt the former reading, because every single prostration has its latter part: or,
accord. to the
T, the meaning is, and in the two rek'ahs (الرَّكْعَتَانِ) after sunset; as is related on the authority of 'Alee the son of Aboo-
Tálib. (
TA.) The similar expression in the
Kur [lii. last verse] وَأَدْبَارَ النُّجُومِ is explained by the lexicologists as signifying (assumed
tropical:) And during the consecution of the stars, and their taking towards the west, to set: but [
ISd says,] I know not how this is, since أَخْذٌ, by which they explain it, is an
inf. n., and أَدْبَار is a
pl. of a
subst.: النُّجُومِ ↓ وَإِدْبَارَ, which is another reading of the text, signifies and during the setting of the stars: and
Ks and
Th adopt this latter reading: (
M:) or,
accord. to the
T, both mean and in the two rek'ahs before daybreak. (
TA.)
b5: Also The hinder part, (
M,) and angle, (زَاوِيَة,) of a house or chamber or tent. (

دُبُرٍ (
S,
K) means The emancipation of the slave after the death of his owner. (

TA in art. قبل to be a
pl.].
دَبْرَةٌ: see دُبُرٌ.
b2: Also (assumed
tropical:) A turn of evil fortune; an unfavourable turn of fortune: or a turn to be vanquished;
contr. of دَوْلَةٌ: (
As,
M,
K:) دَوْلَةٌ relates to good; and دَبْرَةٌ, to evil: one
says, جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ الدَّبْرَةَ (assumed
tropical:) [May God make the turn of evil fortune to be against him]: (
As,
T,
M:) this [says
ISd] is the best explanation that I have seen of دَبْرَةٌ: (
M:) or (so
accord. to the
M, but in the
K “ and ”) it signifies (assumed
tropical:) the issue, or result, of a thing or an affair or a case; (
M,
K;) as in the saying of Aboo-Jahl to Ibn-Mes'ood, when he [the former] lay prostrate, wounded, لِمَنِ الدَّبْرَةُ (assumed
tropical:) In whose favour is the issue, or result? and was answered, “In favour of God and his apostle, O enemy of God: ” (
T,
TA:) also (
tropical:) defeat in fight; (
S,
A,
Mgh,
K;) a
subst. from الإِدْبَارُ, as also ↓ دَبَرَةٌ, (
S,) and ↓ دَابِرَةٌ: (
IAar,
A,
K:) you say, كَانَتِ الدَّبْرَةُ لَهُ, meaning (
tropical:) His adversary was defeated; and عَلَيْهِ
meaning (
tropical:) He was himself defeated: (
A:) and لِمَنِ الدَّبْرَةُ, meaning (assumed
tropical:) Who is the defeater? and عَلَىمَنِ الدَّبْرَةُ (assumed
tropical:) Who is the defeated? the
pl. of دَبْرَةٌ in the last sense is دِبَارٌ: (
TA:) which also signifies conflicts and defeats; (
K;) as in the saying, أَوْقَعَ اللّٰهُ بِهِمُ الدِّبَارَ God caused, or may God cause, to befall them conflicts and defeats. (
TA.)
A2: See also دَبْرٌ, in two places.
دِبْرَةٌ The direction, or point, towards which one turns his back;
contr. of قِبْلَةٌ. (
S,
K.) One
says, مَا لَهُ قِبْلَةٌ وَلَا دِبْرَةٌ, meaning (
tropical:) He has no way of applying himself rightly to his affair. (

K,
TA.) And لَيْسَ لِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ قِبْلَةٌ وَلَا دِبْرَةٌ (

دَبْرِىٌّ: see the next paragraph, in two places.
دَبَرِىٌّ [Backward: and hence, (
tropical:) late]. Yousay, العِلْمُ قَبَلِىٌّوَلَيْسَ بِالدَّبَرِىِّ (assumed
tropical:) [True learning is prompt, and is not backward]: i. e., the man of sound learning answers thee quickly; but the backward says, I must consider it. (
Th,
T.) and تَبِعْتُ صَاحِبِى دَبَرِيًّا (assumed
tropical:) I followed my companion, fearing that he would escape me, after having been with him, and having fallen back from him. (
M.) And شَرُّ الرَّأْىِ الدَّبَرِىُّ (
T,
S,
A,
K *) (
tropical:) The worst opinion, or counsel, is that which occurs [to one] late, when the want [of it] is past; (
T,

M.) And فُلَانٌ لَا يُصَلِّى
الصَّلَاةَ إِلَّا دَبَرِيًّا (
Az,
S,
M,
A,
K) and ↓ دَبْرِيًّا, (
AHeyth,
K,) and the relaters of traditions say ↓ دُبُرِيًّا, (
S,) which is said in the
K to be a corruption, but it may have been heard from a good authority, and with respect to the rules of the language is chaste, for,
accord. to
IAth, دَبَرِىٌّ is a rel.
n. irregularly formed from دُبُرٌ, (
TA,) (
tropical:) Such a one performs not prayer save in the last part of its time. (
Az,
S,
K *) It is said in a
trad., لَا يَأْتِى الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا دَبَرِيًّا; and in another, ↓ الّا دُبْرًا or ↓ دَبْرًا,
accord. to different relations; (
tropical:) He will not come to prayer save at the last, or late: and in another, ↓ أَتَى الصَّلَاةَ دِبَارًا (
tropical:) He came to prayer at the latest of the times thereof; (
IAar,
TA;) or after the time had gone: (
S:) ↓ دِبَارٌ being a
pl. of ↓ دُبُرٌ and ↓ دُبْرٌ meaning the last of the times of prayer &c. (
IAar,
TA.)
One says also, ↓ جَآءَ فُلَانٌ دَبْرِيًّا (
tropical:) Such a one came last, or latest. (
A, *
TA.) دبريًّا is in the accus.
case as an adv.
n. of time [like دُبْرًا and دَبْرًا and دِبَارًا], or as a denotative of state with respect to the
agent of the verb. (
TA.) In the passage in the
K [where it is said that دَبَرِىٌّ signifies Prayer in the last of its time, &c.], there is a looseness. (
TA.)
دُبُرِىٌّ: see the next preceding paragraph.
الدَّبَرَانُ [The Hyades: or the five chief stars of the Hyades: or the brightest star among them, a of Taurus:] five stars of Taurus, said to be his hump; (

K,) Wednesday; the fourth day of the week; (
S,
K;) an ancient name thereof: (
S,
M, *
TA:) or,
accord. to the 'Eyn, (
K,) the night of [i. e. preceding the day of]
Wednesday: (
M,
K:) which latter explanation is preferred by some authorities. (
TA.) Wednesday is a day of ill luck: Mujáhid, being asked respecting the day of ill luck, answered, “The
Wednesday that does not come round [again, i. e. the last Wednesday,] in the month. ” (
TA.)

دَبُورٌ, used as a

L,) blowing from the direction of the place of sunset: (
L,
Msb:) or the wind that comes from [the direction of] the back, or hinder part, of the Kaabeh, going towards the place of sunrise: (

IAth rejects this explanation: (
TA:) or the wind that comes from the quarter behind a person when he is standing at the kibleh: [but this is a most strange explanation:] or,
accord. to
IAar, the wind that blows from the tract extending from the place where En-Nesr et-

S. 29° E. in Central Arabia]: (
M:) or that comes from the direction of the south (الجَنُوب), going towards the place of sunrise: (
Msb:) it is the worst of winds: it is said that it does not fecundate trees, nor raise clouds: (
