It is also doubly trans.: you say, وَتَرَ فُلَانٌ فُلَانًا أَهْلَهُ Such a one committed a crime against such a one by slaying his family; or by taking them away: (T:) and وَتَرَةُ مَالَهُ (T, M, K) (assumed tropical:) he committed a crime against him by taking away his property: (T:) or (assumed tropical:) he made him to suffer loss or detriment in respect of his property; or he deprived him of it in part, or altogether; syn. نَقَصَهُ إِيَّاهُ: (T, * M, K:) and وَتَرَهُ حَقَّهُ, (S, A, Mgh, Msb,) aor. as above, (Msb,) (tropical:) he made him to suffer loss or detriment in respect of his right or due; or he abridged him, or deprived him, or defrauded him, of it partially, or wholly; syn. نقصهُ. (S, Mgh, Msb.) It is said in a trad., مَنْ فَاتَتْهُ صَلَاةُ العَصْرِ فَكَأَنَّمَا وُتِرَ أَهْلَهُ وَمَالَهُ (T, M, * Msb, * TA) By whomsoever the prayer of the afternoon passeth unobserved, he is as though he had his family slain and his property taken away: or as though he had his family and his property taken away: (T:) or as though he were deprived (نُقِصَ) of his family and his property, (T, M, Msb, TA,) and remained alone: (T, TA:) the loss of the family and property is thus likened to the loss of the recompense: اهله and ماله being in the accus. case as objective complements: (Msb:) اهله is a second objective complement: for the first is understood, as implied in the verb: but if we read أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ, accord. to another relation, اهله supplies the place of the agent, nothing being understood, and the family and property are the objects to which the loss is made to relate. (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. (TA.) And it is said in the Kur, [xlvii. 37,] وَلَنَ يَتِرَكُمْ أَعْمَالَكُمْ (assumed tropical:) and He will not deprive you of aught of the recompence of your deeds: (Zj, T:) or will not make you to suffer loss in respect of your deeds; like as you say دَخَلْتُ البَيْتَ, meaning دَخَلْتُ فِى

البَيْتِ. (S.) b2: [Also,] وَتَرَهُ, (M, K,) aor. ـِ (K,) inf. n. وَتْرٌ (M, K) and وِتْرٌ (TA) and تِرَةٌ, (M, K,) He executed blood-revenge upon him: or did so wrongfully: (M, * K, * TK:) expl. by أَصَابَهُ بِذَحْلٍ. (TK.) b3: He overtook him (أَدْرَكَهُ) with some displeasing, or abominable, or evil, action. (M, K.) b4: He frightened him; terrified him. (Fr, K.)

(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. (M.) [See also art. نبض. And see 2 in arts. جنب and حنب.]3 واتر بَيْنَ أَخْبَارِهِ, (A, and so in some copies of the K,) or ↓ أَوْتَرَ, (M, and so in some copies of the K,) and بين كُتُبِهِ, (M,) and واتر أَخْبَارَهُ, (M, K; in the latter of which وَاتَرَهُ is put by mistake for وَاتَرَهَا, as is observed in the TA,) and كُتُبَهُ, (M, A, K,) inf. n. مُوَاتَرَةٌ (S, M, K,) and وِتَارٌ, (M, K,) He made his tidings, or narrations, and his writings, or letters, to follow one another: (M, A, K:) or with some intervals between them; for مواترة between things is only when there is some interval between them; otherwise it is مُدَارَكَةٌ and مُوَاصَلَةٌ: (S, K:) or واتر الكُتُبَ signifies he made the writings, or letters, to follow one another nearly, one by one, without ceasing: (S:) or he made them to follow one another with a small interval between every two: (T:) and وَاتر الخَبَرَ he made the tidings, or narration, to follow one part after another: or, accord. to As, with a small space between every two portions thereof: from وِتْرٌ in the sense of فَرْدٌ. (T.) Yousay also وَاتر بَيْنَ مِيَرِهِمْ He made their supplies of wheat to come to them without stopping; time after time. (TA, from a trad.) 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. (TA.) 4 أَوْتَرَ see 1, in seven places, first part. b2: اوتر بَيْنَ أَخْبَارِهِ: see 3.
