قدر
1 قَدَرْتُ الشَّىْءَ,
aor. ـِ and قَدُرَ, [or the former only
accord. to the
Mgh., as will be seen by what follows,]
inf. n. قَدْرٌ, (
S,
Msb,) is from التَّـ
ـقْدِيرُ, (
S,) [or] it signifies the same as قدّرتُ ↓ الشَّىْءَ,
inf. n. تَـ
ـقْدِيرٌ: (
Msb:) [which latter phrase is afterwards mentioned in the
S, but unexplained: the meaning is, I measured the thing; computed, or determined, its quantity, measure, size, bulk, proportion, extent, amount, sum, limit or limits, or number:] الشَّىْءَ ↓ قدّر signifies he computed, or determined, or computed by conjecture, the quantity, measure, size, bulk, proportion, extent, amount, sum, or number, of the thing, (حَزَرَهُ,) in order that he might know how much it was. (
IKtt.) It is said in a
trad., إِذَا غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمُ الهِلَالُ فَاقْدِرُوا لَهُ, and فَاقْدُرُوا; (
S,
Msb; *) or إِنْ غْمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْدِرُوا, with kesr to the د; (
Mgh,
Msb; *) for فَاقْدُرُوا, with damm, is wrong; (
Mgh;) and
Ks. say, that you say قَدَرْتُ الشَّىْءَ,
aor. ـْ with kesr, and that he had not heard any other
aor. : (
TA:) the meaning of the
trad. is, [When the new moon (of Ramadán) is hidden from you by a cloud or mist, or if it be so hidden,] compute ye (↓ قَدِّرُوا) the number of the days to it, (
Mgh,
Msb,) and so complete Shaabán, making it thirty days: (
S, *
Mgh, *
Msb:) or, as some say, compute ye (قَدِّرُوا) the mansions of the moon, and its course in them [to it, i. e., to the new moon]. (
Msb.) See also 5.
b2: [Hence,
app., the saying,] أُقْدُرْ بِذَرْعِكَ بَيْنَنَا See thou and know thy rank, or estimation, among us. (
AO.)
b3: Hence also,] مَا قَدَرُوا اللّٰهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ [
Kur., vi. 91, and other places, meaning, And they have not estimated God with the estimation that is due to Him: or] and they have not magnified, or honoured, God, with the magnifying, or honouring, that is due to Him: (
S,
K:) for قَدْرٌ signifies [also] a magnifying, or honouring: (
K:) or have not assigned to God the attributes that are due to Him: (
Lth:) or have not known what God is in reality. (El-Basáïr.)
b4: قَدَرَ الشَّىْءَ بِالشَّىْءِ,
aor. ـِ and]
قَدُرَ, (
L,)
inf. n. قَدْرٌ; (

L;) He measured the thing by the thing: (
L,
K: *) and عَلَى مِثَالِهِ ↓ قدّرهُ he measured it by its measure: (
S,
K, art. قيس:) and بَيْنَ الأَمْرَيْنِ ↓ قدّر he measured, or compared, the two things, or cases, together;
syn. قَايَسَ; (
K, art. قيس;) and so بَيْنَهُمَا ↓ قَادَرَ. (

S,
K, *)
inf. n. قَدْرٌ, (
S,) I made the garment according to his measure; adapted it to his measure: (
S,
K: *) [and قَدَرْتُ عَلَيْهِ الشَّىْءَ
app. signifies I made the thing according to his, or its, measure; proportioned, or adapted, the thing to him, or it; for وصفته, by which it is explained in the
TA, seems to be, as IbrD thinks, a mistake for وَضَعْتُهُ:] and الشَّىْءَ ↓ قدّر signifies, in like manner, he made the thing by measure, or according to a measure; or proportioned it;
syn. جَعَلَهُ بِقَدَرٍ: (
IKtt:) the primary meaning of ↓ تَـ
ـقْدِيرٌ is the making a thing according to the measure of another thing. (
Bd-xv. 60.)
b7: [Hence,] قَدَرَ اللّٰهُ ذٰلِكَ عَلَيْهِ,
aor. ـِ and قَدُرَ,
inf. n. قَدْرٌ and قَدَرٌ, (
K,) or the latter is a simple
subst., (
Lh,
Msb,) and مَقْدَرَةٌ; (
S [unless this be a simple
subst.];) and عليه ↓ قدّرهُ, (
K,) [which is more common,]
inf. n. تَـ
ـقْدِيرٌ; (
TA;) and لَهُ; (
K;) [God decreed, appointed, ordained, or decided, that against him; and for him, or to him;
accord. to an explanation of قَدَرٌ in the
K: or decreed, &c., that against him; and for him, or to him; adapting it to his particular case;
accord. to an explanation of قَدَرٌ by
Lth, and of قَدْرٌ and قَدَرٌ in the
S, and of قَدَرٌ in the
Msb: see قَدْرٌ, below.] You say also قَدَرَ اللّٰهُ لَهُ بِخَيْرٍ [God decreed, &c., for him, good]. (
K.)
b8: Also, قَدَرَ, (
K,)
aor. ـِ and قَدُرَ,
inf. n. قَدْرٌ, (
TA,) He [God] distributed, divided, or apportioned, [as though by measure,] sustenance, or the means of subsistence. (
K,
TA. In the
CK, the verb is قَدَّرَ.) Hence, say some, the appellation of لَيْلَةُ القَدْرِ, [in the
Kur, ch. xcvii.,) as being The night wherein the means of subsistence are apportioned. (
TA.) See also قَدْرٌ, below.
b9: Also,
aor. ـِ and قَدُرَ, but the former is that which is adopted by the seven readers [of the
Kur-án], and is the more chaste, (
Msb,) He (God) straitened, or rendered scanty, [as though He measured and limited,] the means of subsistence: (
Bd, xiii. 26, and other places; and
Msb:) and قُدِرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهُ, [see
Kur, lxv. 7,]
inf. n. قَدْرٌ, his means of subsistence were straitened to him; like قُتِرَ. (
S,
TA.) You say قَدَرُ عَلَيْهِ الشَّىْءَ,
aor. ـِ and قَدُرَ, (
Lh,
TA,)
inf. n. قَدْرٌ (
K,) and قَدَرٌ and قُدْرَةٌ; (
Lh,
TA;) and ↓ قدّر,
inf. n. تَـ
ـقْدِيرٌ; (
K;) He rendered the thing strait, or distressing, to him. (
Lh,
K, *
TA.) And قَدَرَ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ He scanted his household; or was niggardly or parsimonious towards them, in expenditure; like قَتَرَ. (
S.) It is said in the
Kur, [xxi. 87,] فَظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ نَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ And he thought that we would not straiten him: (
Fr,
AHeyth:) or the meaning is, لَنْ نُقَدِّرَ عَلَيْهِ مَا قَدَّرْنَا مِنْ كَوْنِهِ فِى بَطْنِ الحُوتِ, for نَقْدِر is
syn. with نُقَدِّر; (
Zj;) and this is correct; i. e., we would not decree against him what we decreed, of the straitness [that should befall him] in the belly of the fish: it cannot be from القُدْرَةُ [meaning power, or ability]; for he who thinks this is an unbeliever. (
Az,
TA.)
b10: Also, قَدَرَهُ,
aor. ـِ
inf. n. قَدَارَهٌ; (
K;) and ↓ قدّرهُ; (
TA;) He prepared it. (
K,
TA.)
b11: And the former, He assigned, or appointed, a particular time for it. (
K.)
A2: قَدَرْتُ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ,
aor. ـِ (
S,
Msb,

Ks,
K,) but the former is that which is commonly known, (
TA,)
inf. n. قُدْرَةٌ and قِدْرَانٌ, (
S,
K,) with kesr, (
K,) but the latter is written in a copy of the

K) and مِقْدَارٌ (
K) and مَقْدَرٌ (
TA) and قَدَارٌ (
Sgh,
K) and قِدَارٌ; (
Lh,
K;) and قَدِرْتُ عَلَيْهِ,
aor. ـَ (
S,
K, *) a form of weak authority, mentioned by Yaakoob, (
S,) and by
Sgh from
Th, and said by
IKtt, to be of the
dial. of Benoo-Murrah, of Ghatafán, (
TA,)
inf. n. قَدَرٌ (
Ks,
Fr,
Akh,
K) and قَدَارَةٌ and قُدُورَهٌ and قُدُورٌ, (
K,
TA,) these four are of قَدِرَ; (
TA;) and all that are here mentioned as from the
K, are
inf. ns.; (
TK;) and عليه ↓ اقتدرت; (
S,
K, *
TA;) or this has a stronger signification; (
IAth;) I had power, or ability, to do, effect, accomplish, achieve, attain, or compass, &c., the thing; I was able to do it, I was able to prevail against it. (
Msb,
K, *
TA.) You say مَا لِى عَلَيْكَ مَقْدُورَةٌ, and مَقْدَرَةٌ, and مَقْدِرَةٌ, i. e. قُدْرَةٌ, [I have not power over thee.] (
S.) And in like manner, المَقْدُورَةُ تُذْهِبُ الحَفِيظَةَ [Power drives away that care which one has of what is sacred, or inviolable, or of religion, to avoid suspicion]. (
S.)
b2: See also قُدْرَةٌ, below.
A3: قَدَرَ and ↓ اقتدر are like طَبَخَ and إِطَّبَخَ [meaning He cooked, and he cooked for himself, in a قِدْر, or cooking-pot]. (

ـقْدِيرٌ: see 1, in most of its senses.

T,
K, * El-Basáïr;) either making use of his reason, and building thereon; the doing of which is praiseworthy; or according to his desire or appetite; as in the
Kur, lxxiv. 18 and 19; the doing of which is blameable; (ElBasáïr;) or by means of marks, whereby to cut it. (
T.)
b3: He intended a thing or an affair; he determined upon it. (
T.) [Said of God, He decreed, appointed, ordained, destined, predestined, or predetermined a thing.]
b4: [Hence,
app., قدّر كَذَا, in grammar, He meant, or held, or made, such a thing to be supplied, or understood. You say تَـ
ـقْدِيرُــهُ كَذَا Its (a phrase's) implied, or virtual, meaning, or meaning by implication, is thus. And يُقَدَّرُ بِكَذَا Its implied meaning is to be expressed by saying thus. and تَـ
ـقْدِيرًــا is said in the sense of implicatively, or virtually, as opposed to لَفْظًا or literally.
b5: and He supposed such a thing.]
b6: He made;
syn. جَعَلَ and صَنَعَ.
Ex., in the
Kur, [xli. 9,] وَقَدَّرَ فِيهَا أَقْوَاتَهَا And He made therein its foods, or aliments. And it is said in the
Kur, [x. 5,] وَقَدَّرَهُ مَنَازِلَ And hath made for it [the moon] mansions. (

A2: قدّرهُ,
inf. n. تَـ
ـقْدِيرٌ, He asserted him to be, or named him, or called him, a قَدَرِىّ: (

Msb.) and أَقَمْتُ عِنْدَهُ قَدْرَ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ كَذَا I remained at his abode long enough for him to do thus. (
Meyd,
TA.) But you say ↓ جَآءَ عَلَى قَدَرٍ, thus only, with fet-h [to the dál, as is shown by what precedes in the
Msb,] as meaning [It came according to measure; i. e.,] it was conformable; it matched; it suited. (
Msb.) You say also جَاوَزَ قَدْرَهُ or ↓ قَدَرَهُ [He overstepped, transgressed, went beyond, or exceeded, his proper measure, bound, or limit: and the same is said of a thing]. (

Msb.) In the words of the
Kur, [vi. 91,] وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللّٰهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ, [for explanations of which see 1,] we may also correctly read ↓ قَدَرِهِ. (

S,) and القَضَآءُ الَّذِى
يُقَدِّرُهُ اللّٰهُ: (
Msb:) [
accord. to general usage, it differs from قَضَآءٌ; this latter signifying a general decree of God, as that every living being shall die; whereas ↓ قَدَرٌ signifies a particular decree of God, as that a certain man shall die at a particular time and place &c.; or particular predestination: thus القَضَآءُ وَالقَدَرُ may be rendered the general and particular decrees of God; or general and particular predestination or fate and destiny. The term قَدَرٌ is variously explained by different schools and sects: but its proper meaning seems to be that given above on the authority of
Lth.] The
pl. of ↓ قَدَرٌ is أَقْدَارٌ; (
K,
TA;) and of ↓ مَقَادِيرُ مِقْدَارٌ. (

TA:) or it is made
fem. (
S,
K) as well as
masc.,
accord. to some: but he who asserts it to be made
masc. is led into error by a saying of
Th:
AM observes, as to the saying of the Arabs, related by
Th, مَا رَأَيْتُ قِدْرًا غَلَى أَسْرَعَ مِنْهَا [I have not seen a cooking-pot that has boiled quicker than it], قدر is not here meant to be made
masc. but the meaning is, ما رأيت شَيْئًا غلى [I have not seen a thing that has boiled]; and similar to this is the saying in the
Kur, [xxxiii. 52,] لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّسَآءُ, meaning, لا يحلّ لك شَىْءٌ مِنَ النِّسَآءِ: (
TA:) the
dim. is
قُدَيْرٌ, without ة,
contr. to
analogy; (
S,
TA;) or
قُدَيْرَــةٌ, with ة, because قِدْرٌ is
fem.; (

TA:) or what is cooked in a قِدْر; (
L,
K:) as also ↓ قَادِرٌ: so in the
K; but this seems to be a mistake, occasioned by a misunderstanding of the saying of
Sgh [and others] that
قَدِيرٌ is the same as قَادِرٌ: or perhaps the right reading of the passage in the
K is وَالـ
ـقَدِيرُ القَادِرُ وَمَا يُطْبَخُ فِى القِدْرِ; and it has been corrupted by copyists:) (
TA:) [but this is improbable, as the passage, if thus, would be in part a repetition:] also cooked broth; (
L;) and so ↓ مَقْدُورٌ. (

قَادِرٌ, applied to God,
i. q. ↓ مُقَدِّرٌ [Decreeing, appointing, ordaining, deciding]; (
S;) and ↓
قَدِيرٌ may signify the same. (
TA.)
A2: See also قَدْرٌ, last signification.
A3: Possessing power, or ability; as also ↓
قَدِيرٌ, (
K,) and ↓ مُقْتَدِرٌ: (
TA:) or
قَدِيرٌ has an intensive signification, and مُقْتَدِرٌ still more so: (
IAth:) or ↓
قَدِيرٌ signifies he who does what he will, according to what wisdom requires, not more nor less; and therefore this
epithet is applied to none but God; and مُقْتَدِرٌ signifies nearly the same, but is sometimes applied to a human being, and means one who applies himself, as to a task, to acquire power or ability. (El-Basáïr.) When you say اَللّٰهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ
قَدِيرٌ [God is able to do everything; is omnipotent;] you mean, to do everything that is possible. (
Msb.)
b2: بَيْنَ أَرْضِكَ وَأَرْضِ فُلَانٍ لَيْلَةٌ قَادِرَةٌ; (Yaakoob,
S;) and بَيْنَنَا ليلية قادرة; (
K;) Between thy land and the land of such a one is a gentle night's journey; (Yaakoob,
S;) and between us is an easy night's journey, in which is no fatigue. (
K.)
