امر
1 أَمَرَهُ, (
T,
S,
M, &c.,)
aor. ـُ (
M, &c.,)
inf. n. أَمْرٌ (
T,
S,
M,
Msb,
K) and إِمَارٌ, (
M,
L,
K,) which latter, however, is disapproved by
MF, (
TA,) and إِيمَارٌ is
syn. therewith, (
K,) but this also is disapproved by
MF, and deemed by him strange, [being by rule the
inf. n. of ↓ آمَرَهُ, respecting which see what follows,] (
TA,) and آمِرَةٌ, (
M,
K,) which is one of the
inf. ns. [or quasiinf. ns.] of the measure فَاعِلَةٌ, like عَافِيَةٌ and عَاقِبَةٌ, (
M,) He commanded him; ordered him; bade him; enjoined him; the
inf. n. signifying the
contr. of نَهْىٌ; (
T,
M,
K;) as also ↓ آمرهُ, (
Kr,
M,
K,) mentioned by
A'Obeyd also as a
dial. var. of أمَرَهُ: (
Msb:) but
A'Obeyd says that آمَرْتُهُ and أَمرْتُهُ are
syn. [in a sense different from that explained above, i. e.] as meaning كَثَّرْتُهُ. (
TA.) You say, أَمَرَهُ بِهِ, (
S,
M,
K,) and أَمَرَهُ إِيَّاهُ, suppressing the
prep., (
M,) He commanded, ordered, bade, or enjoined, him to do it. (
M,
K.) And أمَرْتُكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ, and لِتَفْعَلَ, and بِأنْ تَفْعَلَ, I commanded, ordered, bade, or enjoined, thee to do [such a thing]. (
M.) [And أَمَرَهُ بِكَذَا as meaning He commanded him, or ordered him, to make use of such a thing; or the like: whence, in a
trad.,] أُمِرْتُ بِالسِّوَاكِ [I have been commanded to make use of the tooth-stick]. (El-
Jámi' es-Sagheer.) [And He enjoined him such a thing; as, for instance, patience.] The
imperative of أَمَرَ is مُرْ; originally اؤْمُرْ; which also occurs [with وَ in the place of ؤ when the ا is pronounced with damm]: (
M:) but [generally] when it is not preceded by a
conjunction, (
Msb,) i. e., by وَ or فَ, (
T,) you suppress the ء, [i. e. the radical ء, and with it the conjunctive ا preceding it,]
contr. to rule, and say, مُرْهُ بِكَذَا [Command, or order, or bid, or enjoin, thou him to do such a thing]; like as you say, كُلْ and خُذْ: when, however, it is preceded by a
conjunction, the practice commonly obtaining is, to restore the وَأْمُرْ بِكَذَا, agreeably with
analogy, and thus to say, أَمُرْ بِكَذَا. (
Msb.)
b2: [You say also, أَمَرَ بِهِ فَقُتِلَ He gave an order respecting him, and accordingly he was slain. And أَمَرَ لَهُ بِكَذَا He ordered that such a thing should be done, or given, to him.]
b3: In the
Kur [xvii. 17], أَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُوا فِيهَا, so
accord. to most of the readers, (
T, &c.,) means We commanded [its luxurious inhabitants] to obey, but they transgressed therein, or departed from the right way, or disobeyed: (
Fr,
T,
S, &c.:) so says Aboo-Is-hák; adding that, although one says, أَمَرتُ زَيْدًا فَضَرَبَ عَمْرًا, meaning I commanded Zeyd to beat 'Amr, and he beat him, yet one also says, أَمَرْتُكَ فَعَصَيْتَنِى [I commanded thee, but thou disobeyedst me]: or,
accord. to some, the meaning is, We multiplied its luxurious inhabitants; (
T;) and this is agreeable with another reading, namely, ↓ آمَرْنَا; (
TA;) and a reading of El-Hasan, namely, أَمِرْنَا, like عَلِمْنَا, may be a
dial. var., of the same signification: (
M:) see 4, in two places: or it may be from الإِمَارَةُ; (
S,
TA;) [in which case it seems that we should read ↓ أَمَّرْنَا; or, perhaps, أَمَرْنَا: see 2:] Abu-l-'Áliyeh reads ↓ أَمَّرْنَا, and this is agreeable with the explanation of
I'Ab, who says that the meaning is, We made its chiefs to have authority, power, or dominion. (
TA.)
b4: أَمَرَهُ,
aor. ـُ also signifies He commanded, ordered, bade, or enjoined, him to do that which it behooved him to do. (
A.) [He counselled, or advised, him.] One says, مُرْنِى, meaning Counsel thou me; advise thou me. (
A.)
b5: أَمَرَ بِاقْتِنَاصٍ, said of a wild animal, means He rendered the beholder desirous of capturing him. (

TA;) and أَمُرَ,
aor. ـُ (
S,
M,
IKtt,
K;) and أَمِرَ,
aor. ـَ (
M,
K, and several other authorities; but by some this is disallowed;
TA;)
inf. n. أَمْرٌ (
K) and إِمْرَةٌ (
S) and إِمَارَةٌ; (
As,
T,
S;) or the second is a simple
subst.; (
K;) or perhaps it is meant in the
S that this and the third are quasi-
inf. ns.; (
MF;) He had, or held, command; he presided as a commander, governor, lord, prince, or king; (
M,
Msb,
K;) he became an أَمِير; (
As,
T,
S;) عَلَى
القَوْمِ over the people. (
M, *
Msb,
K.) [See also 5.]
أَمَرَ فُلَانٌ وَأُمِرَ عَلَيْهِ, or عليه ↓ وأُمِّرَ, (as in different copies of the
S,) [Such a one has held command and been commanded,] is said of one who has been a commander, or governor, after having been a subject of a commander, or governor; meaning such a one is a person of experience; or one who has been tried, or proved and strengthened, by experience. (
S.)
A3: أَمَرَهُ as

inf. n. مُؤَامَرَةٌ, (
S,
K,) He consulted him respecting his affair, or case; (
T, *

S,
M,
Msb,
K,)
accord. to some, (

aor. ـُ (
Msb,
K,)
inf. n. أَمْرٌ; (
Msb;) both signifying the same
accord. to
AO, (
S,) or A 'Obeyd, (
TA,) but the latter is of weak authority, (

accord. to El-Hasan's reading of xvii. 17 of the

S.) And لَا يَأْتَمِرُ رُـ
ـشْدًا He will not do right of his own
accord. (
A.) Imra el-Keys says, (
S,) or En-Nemir Ibn-Towlab, (
T,) وَيَعْدُو عَلَى المَرْءِ مَا يَأْتَمِرْ [And that which man obeys wrongs him, or injures him]; meaning, that which his own soul commands him to do, and which he judges to be right, but in which often is found his destruction: (
S:) or,
accord. to

T:) or that which man does without consideration, and without looking to its result. (A 'Obeyd,
T.) [See what follows.]
b2: He undertook a thing without consulting; (
KT,
T;) as though his soul, or mind, ordered him to do it and he obeyed it: (
TA:) he followed his own opinion only. (

inf. n. تَأَمُّرٌ; (

A,
Msb,
K: *) or ائتمروا and ↓ تآمروا signify they commanded, ordered, bade, or enjoined, one another; like as one says, اقتتلوا and تقاتلوا, and اختصموا and تخاصموا: (

inf. n. as above, (
K,) signifies they purposed it, (

Msb,
K, *) namely, a thing, (
Msb,
K,) and consulted one another respecting it. (
S.) It is said in the
Kur [lxv. 6], وَأْتَمِرُوا بَيْنَكُمْ بِمَعْرُوفٍ And command ye, or enjoin ye, one another to do good: [such is
app. the meaning,] but God best knoweth: (
T:) or,
accord. to
KT, purpose ye among yourselves to do good. (
TA.) And in the same [xxviii. 19], إِنَّ الْمَلَأَ يَأْتَمِرُونَ بِكَ لِيَقْتُلوُكَ, meaning Verily the chiefs command one another respecting thee, to slay thee: (
Zj,
T:) or consult together against thee, to slay thee: (
AO,
T:) or purpose against thee, to slay thee: (
KT,
T:) but the last but one of these explanations is better than the last. (
T.)
b5: See also 3.
b6: Accord. to El-Bushtee, ائتمرهُ also signifies He gave him permission: but this has not been heard from an Arab. (

أَمْرٌ A command; an order; a bidding; an injunction; a decree; an ordinance; a prescript: (
S, *
Msb, *
TA, &c.:)
pl. أَوَامِرُ: (
S,
Msb, &c.:) so
accord. to common usage; and some writers of authority justify and explain it by saying that أَمْرٌ is [originally] مَأْمُوُرٌ بِهِ; that it is then changed to the measure فَاعِلٌ; [i. e., to آمِرٌ;] like أَمْرٌ عَارِفٌ, which is originally مَعْرُوفٌ; and عِيشَةٌ راضِيَةٌ, originally مَرْضِيَّةٌ; &c.; [and then, to أَمْرٌ;] and that فَاعِلٌ becomes in the
pl. فَوَاعِلُ; so that أَوَامَرُ is the
pl. of مَإْمُورٌ: others say that it has this form of
pl. to distinguish it from أَمْرٌ in the sense of حَالٌ [&c.], in which sense it has for its
pl. أُمُورٌ. (
Msb,
TA.) [But I think that أَوَامِرُ may be properly and originally
pl. of آمِرَةٌ, for آيَةٌ آمِرَةٌ, or the like.
MF says that,
accord. to the
T and
M, the
pl. of أَمْرٌ in the sense explained in the beginning of this paragraph is أُمُورٌ: but he seems to have founded his assertion upon corrupted copies of those works; for in the
M, I find nothing on this point; and in the
T, not, as he says, الأَمْرُضِدُّ النَّهْىَ وَاحِدُ الأُمُور, but قَالَ اللَّيْثُ الأَمْرُ مَعْرُوفٌ نَقِيضُ النَّهْىِ وَاحِدُ الأُمُورِ, evidently meaning that أَمْرٌ signifies the
contr. of نَهْىٌ, and is also, in another sense, the
sing. of أُمُورٌ.] [Hence,] أُولُو الأَمْرِ Those who hold command or rule, and the learned men. (
M,
K. [See
Kur iv. 62.]) and أَمْرُاللّٰهِ The threatened punishment of God: so in the
Kur x. 25, and xi. 42, and xvi.1; in which last place occur the words, أَتَي أَمْرُ اللّٰهِ فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوهُ, meaning The threatened punishment ordained of God hath, as it were, come: so near is it, that it is as though it had already come: therefore desire not ye to hasten it. (
Zj,
M,
TA.) And The purpose of God. (
Bd and
Jel in lxv. 3; &c.) and الأَمْرُ قَرِيبٌ The resurrection, or the time thereof, is near. (
Mgh, from a
trad.) And مَا فَعَلْتُهُ عَنْ
أَمْرِى, in the
Kur xviii. 81, I did it not of my own judgment: (
Bd:) or, of my own choice. (
Jel.) [Hence also الأَمْرُ, in grammar, signifies The
imperative form of a verb.]
b2: Also A thing; an affair; a business; a matter; a concern: a state, of a person or thing, or of persons or things or affairs or circumstances; a condition; a case: an accident; an event: an action:
syn. شَأْنٌ: (
M,
F,
TA:) and حَالٌ, (
Msb,
TA,) and حَالَةٌ: (
Msb:) and حَادِثَةٌ: (
K:) and فِعْلٌ: (
MF,
TA:) and a thing that is said; a saying: (
TA voce أُولُو, at the end of art. ال:)
pl. أُمُورٌ; (
S,
M,
K, &c.;) its only
pl. in the senses here explained. (
TA.) You say, أَمْرُ فُلَانٍ مُسْتَقِيمٌ [The affair, or the like, of such a one is in a right state]: and امُورُهُ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ [His affairs are in a right state]. (
S, A.) And شَتَّتَ أَمْرَهُ He dissipated, disorganized, disordered, unsettled, or broke up, his state of things, or affairs. (
As,
TA in art. شعب.) [امر seems to be here used, as in many other instances, rather in the sense of the
pl. than in that of the
sing.]
b3: أَمْرٌ كُلِّىٌّ [A universal, or general, prescript, rule, or canon]. (
Msb voce قَاعِدَةٌ,
KT voce قَانُونٌ, &c.) إِمْرٌ a
subst. from أَمِرَالِأَمْرُ in the sense of اِشْتَدَّ; (
S;) or a
subst. from أَمِرَ as signifying كَثُرَ and تَمَّ; (
M;) (assumed
tropical:) [A severe, a distressful, a grievous, or an afflictive, thing: or] a terrible, and foul, or very foul, thing: or a wonderful thing. (
TA,) Hence, [used as an
epithet, like أَمِرٌ,
q. v.,] in the
Kur [xviii. 70], لَقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْئًا إِمْرًا (assumed
tropical:) Verily thou hast done a severe, a distressful, a grievous, or an afflictive, thing: (
S:) or a terrible, and foul, or very foul, thing: (
TA:) or a wonderful thing: (
S:) or an abominable, a foul, or an evil, and a wonderful, thing: (
Ks,
M,
K: *) or a terrible and an abominable thing; signifying more than نَكْرًا, [which occurs after, in verse 73,] inasmuch as the [presumed] drowning of the persons in the ship was more abominable than the slaying of one person: (
Zj,
T:) or a crafty, and an abominable, or a foul, or an evil, and a wonderful, thing; and derived from أَمِرَ القَوْمُ as meaning كَثُرُوا. (
Ks.) أَمَرٌ a
coll. gen. n. of which أَمَرَةٌ (
q. v.) is the
n. un.
A2: See also تَأْمُورٌ.
أَمِرٌ: see إِمَّرٌ.

tropical:) A woman blessed to her husband [ by her being prolific]: from the signification of كَثْرَةٌ. (
M.)
A3: (assumed

S,
M, *
A,
Msb,

S.)
A2: See also إِمْرَةٌ.
إِمْرَةٌ a
subst. from أَمَرَ [

L,
K;) but this last is by some disallowed, and is said in the
Fs and its Expositions to be unknown. (
MF.) It is said in a
trad., لَعَلَّكَ سآءَ تْكَ إِمْرَةُ ابْنِ عَمِّكَ Perhaps thy paternal uncle's son's possession of command hath displeased thee. (
TA.)
b2: [And hence, (assumed

tropical:) In the face of thy property, [meaning such as consists in camels or the like, and also money,] thou knowest its increase and abundance, and its expense: (
S:) or ↓ إِمَّرَتَهُ, and ↓ إِمّرَتَهُ, which latter is a
dial. var. of weak authority, and ↓ أَمَّرَتَهُ, i. e., its increase and abundance: (
M:) or ↓ إِمَّرَتَهُ as meaning its prosperous state; as also ↓ أَمَارَتَهُ, and ↓ أَمْرَتَهُ: (Ibn-Buzurj:)
accord. to
AHeyth, who reads ↓ تُعْرَفُ إِمَّرَتُهُ, the meaning is, its decrease; but the correct meaning is, its increase, as
Fr explains it. (
T,
TA.) It is said respecting anything of which one knows what is good in it at first sight: (
Lh,
M:) and means, on a thing's presenting itself, thou knowest its goodness. (
T.) One says also, ↓ مأَحْسَنَ أَمَارَتَهُمْ (assumed

M.) And ↓ لَا جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ فِيهِ إِمَّرَةً (assumed
tropical:) May God not make an increase to be therein. (
T.) أَمَرَةٌ Stones: (
K:) [or a heap of stones:] or it is the
n. un. of أَمَرٌ, which signifies stones: (
M:) or the latter signifies stones set up in order that one may be directed thereby to the right way: (
Ham p. 409:) and the former also signifies a hill; (
M,
K;) and أَمَرٌ is [used as] its
pl.: (
M:) and a sign, or mark, by which anything is known; (
M,
K;) as also ↓ أَمَارٌ and ↓ أَمَارَةٌ; (
As,
S;) and أَمَرٌ is [used as] its
pl. in this sense also: (
M:) or a sign, or mark, set up to show the way; (
AA,
Fr;) as also ↓ أَمَارٌ and ↓ أَمَارَهٌ: (
K:) or a small sign, or mark, of stones, to show the way, in a waterless desert; (
S;) as also ↓ أَمَارٌ [and ↓ أَمَارَةٌ]; and any sign, or mark, that is prepared: (
TA:) or a structure like a مَنَارَة [here
app. meaning a tower of a mosque], upon a mountain, wide like a house or tent, and larger, of the height of forty times the stature of a man, made in the time of 'Ád and Irem; in some instances its foundation being like a house, though it consists only of stones piled up, one upon another, cemented together with mud, appearing as though it were of natural formation: (
ISh,
T:) the
pl. (in all the senses above,
K) [or rather the
coll. gen. n.,] is أَمَرٌ. (
S,
K.)
A2: See also إِمْرَةٌ.
أَمَارٌ and ↓ أَمَارَةٌ A sign, mark, or token. (

[When the sun of day rises, it is a sign of my saluting thee, therefore do thou salute]. (
TA.)
b2: Also A time: (
As,
S,
K:) so
IAar explains the latter word, not particularizing the time as definite or otherwise: (
M:) or a definite time: (
TA:) or a time, or place, of promise or appointment; an appointed time or place;
syn. مَوْعِدٌ: (
M,
Mgh,
K:) or,
accord. to some, the former word is
pl. [or rather col.
gen. n.] of the latter. (
