📖 Lane's Lexicon (Root: حرص)

[1] حَرَصَهُ , aor. [ حَرِصَ and] حَرُصَ , (TK,) inf. n. حَرْصٌ, (T, S, K, &c.,) He rent it; or clave it: (T, S, K, &c.:) and he, or it, stripped off, scraped off, rubbed off, abraded, or otherwise removed, its superficial part, peel, rind, or the like: (T, K, &c.:) the former, (Az,) or the latter, (Az, Er-Rághib, B,) is the primary signification. (TA.) You say, حَرَصَ القَصَّارُ الثَّوْبَ, (S, A, Mgh, Msb,) aor. حَرِصَ (S, Msb, TA) and حَرُصَ , (Msb,) inf. n. حَرْصٌ, (Msb, TA,) The beater and washer and whitener rent the garment, or piece of cloth, (A, Mgh, Msb, TA,) in beating it: (Mgh:) or made holes in it by beating it: (S, TA: *) or made holes and rents in it thereby: or abraded its superficial part thereby. (TA.) And حُرِصَ المَرْعَى The pasture, or herbage, became entirely consumed, nothing of it being left; (IF, K;) as though it were stripped off from the surface of the land. (TA.) ＝ 1-A2- حَرَصَ عَلَيْهِ, (T, S, A, Msb, K, *) aor. حَرِصَ (T, S, Msb, K) and حَرُصَ , mentioned by IKtt and the author of the Iktitáf, (MF,) inf. n. حَرْصٌ; (Msb;) and حَرِصَ, aor. حَرَصَ , (T, Msb, K,) inf. n. حَرَصٌ; (Msb; [but it seems to be indicated in the K, by its being said that the pret. is like سَمِعَ, that it is حَرْصٌ;]) the latter form of the verb, however, is bad; (T, TA;) though El- Kurtubee is asserted by MF to have said that the former is of weak authority; which is clearly wrong, as the readers of the Kur are generally agreed in using it; (TA;) He desired it vehemently, eagerly, greedily, very greedily, or with avidity; he hankered after it; he coveted it; he desired it excessively, or inordinately: (S, * K, * TA:) or he desired it culpably; namely, worldly good: (Msb:) said by Az to be derived from the first of the significations mentioned in this art., or, as is also said by Er-Rághib, and in the B, from the second thereof; because, says Az, he who does so [may be said by a figure of speech to be one who] scratches off the outer skin of the faces of men by his so doing: but MF regards this as improbable; and says that most of the lexicologists hold the last to be the primary signification, and others to be taken from it: (TA:) حَرَصَ عَلَيْهِ, aor. حَرِصَ , inf. n. حَرْصٌ, also signifies he strove, or laboured; exerted himself; took pains, or extraordinary pains; to acquire, obtain, or attain, it: (Msb, TA: *) and ↓ احترص signifies the same as حَرَصَ [he desired vehemently, &c.]: (K:) and he strove, or laboured; exerted himself; took pains, or extraordinary pains; to acquire, obtain, or attain, a thing. (AA, K, * TA.) You say, لَا حَرَسَ ٱللّٰهُ مَنْ حَرَصَ [May God not guard him who desires inordinately, or culpably]. (A.) Aboo-Dhu-eyb makes حَرَصْتُ trans. by means of بِ, in the following verse: وَلَقَدْ حَرَصْتُ بِأَنْ أُدَافِعَ عَنْهُمُ فَإِذَا المَنِيَّةُ أَقْبَلَتْ لَا تُدْفَعُ [And verily I had purposed to defend them by repelling aggression from them; but lo, the decree of death came: it was not to be repelled]: meaning, هَمَمْتُ. (TA.) ― 2-b2- [Also He was excessively solicitous, or careful, and fearful, respecting him; and excessively pitiful, or compassionate, to him. See حِرْصٌ and حَرِيصٌ.]
