(TA.) It is said in a trad. إِنَّ اللّٰهَ وِتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الوِتْرَ فَأَوْتِرُوا يَا أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ [Verily God is one only: He loveth the odd number: therefore perform ye the prayer of an odd number of rek'ahs, O people of the Kur-án]. (T.) And in another trad., إِذَا اسْتَجْمَرْتَ فَأَوْتِرْ When thou employest stones in the purification termed إِسْتِنْجَآء, use an odd number; (TA;) i. e. use three stones for that purpose, or five, or seven, and not an even number.

(TA.) And it is said in another trad., مَنْ جَلَسَ مَجْلِسًا لَمْ يَذْكُرِ اللّٰهَ فِيهِ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ تِرَةً (assumed tropical:) He who sitteth in an assembly in which God is not mentioned is obnoxious to detriment, or loss: or, as some say, to a claim of reparation for wrongful conduct.

(M.) It is said in a proverb, إِنْبَاضٌ بِغَيْرِ تَوْتِيرٍ [Twanging the bow without bracing the string]: (S:) or لَا تُعْجِلِ الإِنْبَاضَ قَبْلَ التَّوْتِيرِ [Hasten not the twanging of the bow before the bracing of the string]: alluding to the hastening a thing before its proper time.

And it is said in a trad., لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يُوَاتِرَ قَضَآءَ رَمَضَانَ There will be no harm in his performing the fast of Ramadán at intervals, fasting one day and breaking fast one day: (TA:) مُوَاتَرَةُ الصَّوْمِ is the fasting one day and breaking fast one day, or two; performing it separately: it does not mean المُوَاصَلَةُ, because it is from الوِتْرُ, (S, K, TA,) i. e., الفَرْدُ.

A2: Also, (O,) He was, or became, فَقِير [meaning poor, or needy, &c.]; (S, O, Msb, K, &c.;) and so ↓ فَقِرَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. فَقَرٌ; (Msb;) and ↓ فَقُرَ, aor. ـُ (K;) or they said افتقر, (Sb, Msb, TA,) like as they said اِشْتَدَّ, (Sb, TA,) but they did not say فَقُرَ, (Sb, Msb, TA,) like as they did not say شَدُدَ, (Sb, TA,) افتقر serving them instead of فَقُرَ; (Msb;) nor did they use any unaugmented form of this verb. (Sb, TA.) b2: And one says, افتقر إِلَيْهِ He, or it, wanted, needed, or required, him, or it; [a phrase of frequent occurrence; like فَقِيرٌ إِلَيْهِ;] i. q. اِحْتَاجَ اليه. (TA in art. حوج.) 10 استفقر بَعِيرًا [He borrowed, or asked for the loan of, the back of a camel, for carrying a burden or for riding]. (See أَرْمَلُ.) فَقْرٌ and ↓ فُقْرٌ signify the same, (S, O, Msb, K,) but the latter is bad, (Lth, TA,) and sometimes they said ↓ فُقُرٌ, (MF, TA,) Poverty, want, or need; contr. of غِنًى: (K:) or the state of a man when he has [only] what suffices for his household, or those who dwell with him and whose maintenance is incumbent on him: (ISd, K:) [other meanings are indicated by explanations of the epithet فَقِيرٌ, q. v.:] ↓ مَفاَقِرُ [signifying needs, or wants,] is said by some to be a pl. of فَقرٌ, anomalous, like مَشَابِهُ [pl. of شَبَهٌ] and مَلَامِحُ [pl. of لَمْحَةٌ]: or it may be a pl. of ↓ مُفْقَرٌ, an inf. n. of أَفْقَرَهُ; or pl. of ↓ مُفْقِرٌ; or it has no sing.: (TA:) you say, ↓ سَدَّ اللّٰهُ مَفَاقِرَهُ God rendered him, or may God render him, free from want; (S, Msb, K;) [lit.] God supplied, or may God supply, his various needs, or wants. (S, K.) b2: And فَقْرٌ signifies also Anxiety; or disquietude, or trouble, of mind: pl. فُقُورٌ: (O, K, TA:) one says, شَكَى إِلَيْهِ فُقُورَهُ He complained to him of his anxieties; &c.: and it means also, his circumstances, and wants: (TA:) [for,] accord. to IAar, the phrase فُقُورُ النَّفْسِ is like شُقُورُهَا. (O.) A2: See also فَقْرَةٌ.

فُقْرٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

A2: Accord. to the K, it signifies also A certain plant; and its pl. [or rather the coll. gen. n.] is ↓ فَقْرٌ: but the sing. [or n. un.] is correctly ↓ فَقُرَةٌ, with fet-h and then damm, mentioned by Sb as a word of a rare form, of which the pl. [or coll. gen. n.] is ↓ فَقُرٌ, as it has no broken pl.; and expl. by Th. (TA.) فُقْرَةٌ A hollow dug in the ground: pl. فُقَرٌ. (O, K, TA.) b2: And The [incision termed] قُرْمَة (IAar, O, TA) that is made in the nose [or muzzle] (IAar, O) of the camel, (IAar, O, TA,) [in order to render him tractable, (see 1, near the beginning,)] after which [if necessary] another is made, [above it,] and then another, until he becomes gentle: (IAar, O:) pl. [of pauc. أَفْقُرٌ, occurring in the L, evidently as a pl. of فُقْرَةٌ in this sense, and, of mult., but also used as a pl. of pauc.,] فُقَرٌ. (O, TA.) Hence the saying of 'Aacute;ïsheh, in relation to [the murder of] 'Othmán, [app. alluding to its involving three violations, namely, the violation of the sacredness of the city in which it was perpetrated and of the month in which it occurred and of the person of the Khaleefeh,] بَلَغْتُمْ مِنْهُ الفُقَرَ الثَّلَاثَ, meaning (tropical:) Ye have done to him the like of your deed to the camel above mentioned [upon which ye have inflicted the three فُقَر]: thus expl. by Az.

And the three فُقَرَات of the son of Adam are said to be (assumed tropical:) The day of birth and the day of death and the day of resurrection.

And فِقَرٌ signifies (assumed tropical:) Certain ornaments, moulded, or fashioned, in the form of the vertebra of the back: (A, KT, TA, and Har p. 34:) one of which is termed فِقْرَةٌ. (Har ibid.) b3: and hence, (KT,) or as being likened to a vertebra of the back, (S, O, KT,) (tropical:) The best verse in an ode is termed فِقْرَةٌ. (S, O, K, KT.) b4: and hence, as being likened to the best verse in an ode, فِقْرَهٌ means (tropical:) (tropical:) Any choice phrase or sentence: (KT:) one says, مَا أَحْسَنَ فِقَرَ كَلَامِهِ i. e. [How beautiful are] the points, or points of wit, (سُكَت [pl. of نُكْتَةٌ]) of his speech, or language! (A, TA.) b5: And in like manner it is applied to signify (assumed tropical:) The end [or final word] of every verse of an ode and [of every clause] of a خُطْبَة [which is in rhyming prose]. (Msb.) b6: And (assumed tropical:) [A pair of clauses of rhyming prose, both ending with the same rhyme; i. e.] the فِقْرَة is that which in [rhyming] prose is like the verse in poetry. (Kull p. 208.) A2: Also A piece of land, such as is termed قَرَاح [q. v.], for sowing. (O, K.)

[See art. جوز.) b3: And [hence also,] ذُو الفَقَارِ (assumed tropical:) the name of A [celebrated] sword of the Prophet, (S, O, K,) and afterwards, of 'Alee: it had previously belonged to El-'As Ibn-Munebbih, who was slain at Bedr, (O, K,) by 'Alee, by whom his sword was given to the Apostle: (O:) accord. to Abu-l-'Abbás [i. e. Th]. it was thus named because there were in it small beautiful hollows [app. meaning small scallops in the edge, such as some modern swords have, for the more easy cleaving of coats of mail]: it is also, accord. to some, called ذو الفِقَار; but this is said by El-Khattábee to be vulgar.

(IAth, TA.) A2: As an epithet applied to a camel, it means Having an incision [or two incisions or three] made in his nose [or muzzle] in the manner explained in the first paragraph of this art.; and so ↓ مَفْقُورٌ.

[As to the فقير whose milch camel was sufficient for his household, and nothing (more) was left to him:] (S, O, TA:) As says that the مسكين is better in condition than the فقير: and Yoo says that the فقير is better in condition than the مسكين; and adds, I asked an Arab of the desert, Art thou فقير? and he answered, No, by God, but rather مسكين: (S, O, TA:) or the former signifies needy, needing, or wanting; a needer; and the latter, one abased by need or want, or otherwise; (Ibn-'Arafeh, O, K;) who, if abased by need or want, may lawfully receive of the poor-rate; but if abased otherwise than by need or want, he may not receive of the poorrate; for he may be rich: (Ibn-'Arafeh:) [الفَقِيرُ

إِلَى اللّٰهِ the needer of God, i. e., of God's help, &c., and الفَقِيرُ إِلَى رَحْمَةِ اللّٰهِ the needer of the mercy of God, are epithets which a man often writes before his name:] it is said in the Kur [xxxv. 16], أَنْتُمُ الفُقَرَآءُ إِلَى اللّٰهِ وَاللّٰهُ هُوَ الْغَنِىُّ الْحَمِيدُ, which is explained as meaning Ye are the needers, or they who stand in need, of God: [and God, He is the Self-sufficient, the Praised in every case:] (O, * TA: [see also the Kur xxviii. 24:]) or فقير signifies one who is crippled, or deprived of the power of motion, by disease, or who suffers from a protracted disease, being weak, and who has no trade; and one who has a mean trade that does not suffice for his need; and مسكين, a beggar, who has a trade that stands in some stead, (حِرْفَةٌ تَقَعُ مَوْقِعًا,) but does not cause him and his household to be without want; (Esh-Sháfi'ee, T, O, K;) so that the former is in a harder condition than the latter accord. to Esh-Sháfi'ee; (T;) and it seems that he is called فقير because of crippleness, or protracted disease, which prevents his freely employing himself in making gain: (Khálid Ibn-Yezeed:) As also says that the latter is in a better condition than the former; (S, O, K;) and so says Ahmad Ibn-'Obeyd: (TA:) and as to the verse of Er-Rá'ee, cited above, it is said to mean that the person there mentioned had a milch camel in former times, but possessed it no longer, and that لَمْ يُتْرَكْ لَهُ سَبَد means that nothing was left to him: (Mgh:) the pl. of the latter epithet is also applied in the Kur xviii. 78 to men possessing a ship, or boat, which is worth a considerable sum; (Mgh;) whence Aboo-Bekr holds the opinion of As to be correct: (TA:) but it is urged in reply, that these men were hirers, not owners, of the vessel, as appears from one reading, [app. يُعَمَّلُونَ for يَعْمَلُونَ,] with teshdeed: (TA:) or the former signifies one who has neither property nor gain that suffices for his need; and the latter, one who has property or gain not sufficient for him: or, as some say, the converse is the truth: (Bd in ix. 60:) or both signify the same, (IAar, S, K,) one who possesses nothing: (IAar, S:) or when they are used together, they differ in signification; and when used separately, they both [sometimes] signify the same: (El-Bedr El-Karáfee:) [see more voce مِسْكِينٌ:] fem. with ة: (Msb, K:) pl. masc. فُقَرَآءُ; (Msb, K;) pl. fem. فَقَائِرُ, (K,) and فُقَرَآءُ (Lh, Msb, TA) like the masc., [said to be] the only instance of the kind except سُفَهَآءُ as pl. of سَفِيهَةٌ; (Msb;) [though فُقَهَآءُ, and perhaps some other instances, should be added;] but ISd says, I know not how this is. (TA.) فَقَارَةٌ: see فَقَارٌ.

فَاقِرَةٌ [An act that breaks, or will break, the vertebræ of the back: and hence,] (assumed tropical:) a calamity, or misfortune; (S, O, K;) as also ↓ فَيْقَرٌ: (S, O, K:) or, accord. to Lth and others, such as breaks the vertebræ of the back: (TA:) pl. فَوَاقِرُ. (Har p. 399.) عَمِلَ بِهِ الفَاقِرَةَ is a prov., meaning He did to him an act breaking, or that would break, his vertebræ; or a calamity, or misfortune, as in the Kur lxxv. 25: (Meyd:) [or, accord. to J, it app. means he did to him that which would render him tractable; for he says,] it is from the phrase فَقَرْتُ أَنْفَ البَعِيرِ. (S. [This phrase in the S has been strangely misunderstood by Golius; who has consequently, after mentioning the meaning “ infortunium,” added “ et Habena seu capistrum, de quo in Conj. 1. ”]) b2: And [hence] الفَاقِرَةُ signifies (assumed tropical:) The resurrection. (TA.) أَفْقَرُ [More, and most, poor or needy &c.: said to be formed irregularly from اِفْتَقَرَ, not from an unaugmented form of the verb; like مَا أَفْقَرَهُ]. (See Ham pp. 573-4.) مُفْقَرٌ: see فَقْرٌ.

مُفْقِرٌ, applied to a man, (O, TA,) Strong (O, K, TA) in the vertebræ of the back; (TA;) and thus ↓ مُفَقَّرٌ, applied to a camel; and [in like manner] ↓ ذُوفُقْرَةٍ, so applied, strong to be ridden: (O, TA:) and مُفْقِرٌ signifies also strong in the back; applied to a colt: (TA:) and, thus applied, that has attained to the time when he may be ridden. (K.) b2: And [hence] one says, إِنَّهُ لَمُفْقِرٌ لِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ (assumed tropical:) Verily he is equal to this affair, possessing firmness of mind, or strength, or power, for it; (ISh, O, L, K;) and لهذا العَزْمِ for this determination, or resolution; and لهذا القِرْنِ for this adversary, or opponent. (L.) And ↓ رَجُلٌ مُفَقَّرٌ (assumed tropical:) A man sufficient for everything that he is ordered to do; (O, K, TA;) as thought by reason of the strength of his vertebræ. (TA.) A2: See also فَقْرٌ.
