نَذَرَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ , (Yoo, Akh, T, S, M, A, *
K,) aor.
نَذِرَ and
نَذُرَ , (M, K,) inf. n. نَذْرٌ (Yoo, Akh,
S, M, K,) and نُذُورٌ, (M, K,) [He made a vow;
imposed upon himself a vow; أَنْ يَفْعَلَ كَذَا that
he would do such a thing; either absolutely, or
conditionally, as will be explained below;] he
made [a future action] binding, or obligatory, on
himself; (T, M, A, K;) as also ↓ انتذر. (K.)
And انتذر ↓ نَذْرًا signifies the same as نَذَرَ [He
vowed a vow]. (Sgh.) You say also نَذَرْتُ مَالِى,
aor.
نَذُرَ [and
نَذِرَ as implied in the K] inf. n. نَذْرٌ, [I
vowed my property; made a vow to give it.]
(Yoo, Akh, S, K. *) And نَذَرْتُ لِلّٰهِ كَذَا, (S,
Msb, K,) aor.
نَذُرَ and
نَذِرَ , (S, Msb,) inf. n. نَذْرٌ,
(Msb,) I made it binding, or obligatory, on myself, [i. e., I vowed,] of my own free will, to do or
to give such a thing to God; namely, some religious service, or an alms, &c.: (TA:) or نَذْرٌ
signifies the promising conditionally; as when one
says, “ Such a thing shall be obligatory on me if
God restore to health my sick [son or other]: ”
this is termed نَذْرٌ: but the saying “ I impose
upon myself the giving a deenár as alms, ” is not
so termed. (K.) The doing this is repeatedly
forbidden in traditions: but what is meant thereby is, one's doing so in the belief that he may
attain by it something which God has not decreed
to betide him, or that he may divert from himself
something decreed to befall him: yet if he do so,
fulfilment is obligatory on him. (IAth.) You
say also, نَذَرَ الوَلَدَ, (M, K,) and نَذَرَتْهُ, (M,) He
(the father, M, K) and she (the mother, M) appointed the child [by a vow] to be a minister or
servant to the church, (M, K,) or to a place
appropriated to religious services or exercises, or
acts of devotion: (TA:) so in the Kur, iii. 31.
(M.) ＝
1-A2- نَذِرَ بِالشَّىْءِ, aor.
نَذَرَ , (M, IKtt, Msb, K,)
inf. n. نَذَرٌ (M, IKtt) and نَذَارَةٌ and نِذَارَةٌ, (IKtt,)
or, as some assert, it has no inf. n., like عَسَى &c.,
the Arabs being content to use in its stead أَنْ
followed by the verb, as is said in the 'Ináyeh,
on the Kur, chap. xiv., (MF,) He knew of the
thing: (Msb:) or he knew of the thing and was
cautious of it or on his guard against it or in fear
of it. (M, K.) You say also نَذِرَ القَوْمُ بالعَدُوِّ
(S, A) The people knew of the enemy: (S:) or
knew of the enemy and prepared themselves for
them: (A:) or knew of the enemy and were
cautious of them or on their guard against them
or in fear of them. (TA.) And it is said in a
trad., إِنْذَرِ القَوْمَ Have thou knowledge of the
people and be cautious of them or on thy guard
against them or in fear of them. (TA.)
