only accord. to the Mgh., as will be seen by
what follows,] inf. n.
قَدْرٌ, (S, Msb,) is from
التَّقْدِيرُ, (S,) [or] it signifies the same as ↓
قدّرتُ
الشَّىْءَ, inf. n.
تَقْدِيرٌ: (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:]
قدّر ↓
الشَّىْءَ 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 فَٱقْدِرُوا لَهُ, and
فَٱقْدُرُوا; (S,
Msb; *) or
إِنْ غْمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَٱقْدِرُوا, with kesr to the
د; (Mgh, Msb; *) for
فَٱقْدُرُوا, with damm, is
wrong; (Mgh;) and Ks. say, that you say
قَدَرْتُ الشَّىْءَ, aor.
أَقْدِرُهُ, 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.)

مَا قَدَرُوا ٱللّٰهَ 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.

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 signifies, in like manner,
he made
the thing by measure, or
according to a measure;
or
proportioned it; syn.

عليه, (K,)
[which is more common,] inf. n.

and

قَدْرٌ, below.] You say also
قَدَرَ ٱللّٰهُ لَهُ بِخَيْرٍ

for him, good]. (K.) ―
2-b8- Also,
قَدَرَ, (K,) aor.
قَدِرَ 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. ―
2-b9- Also,
aor.
قَدِرَ 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.
قَدِرَ
and
قَدُرَ , (Lh, TA,) inf. n.
قَدْرٌ (K,) and
قَدَرٌ and
قُدْرَةٌ; (Lh, TA;) and ↓
قدّر, inf. n.
تَقْدِيرٌ; (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.) ―

قَدَرْتُ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ, aor.
قَدِرَ (S,

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 T,

قَدَرَ , (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;)

اقتدرت ↓
عليه; (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.) ―
2-b2- See also
قُدْرَةٌ, below. ＝

trad.) And

أَمْ تَشْتَوُونَ Do ye cook
[
for yourselves]
in a cooking-pot, or roast? (S.)
