أ س ر

أسّر He bound, or tied, tight, fast, or firmly. (So accord. to Golius; but for this he names no authority.)]

ا=سَرَ see 1.

تأسّر عَلَيْهِ فُلَانٌ (assumed tropical:) Such a one excused himself to him, and was slow, or tardy: (AZ, T, K:*) thus as related by Ibn-Hánee from AZ: as A'Obeyd relates it from him, تأسن ; but this is a mistake: it is correctly with ر . (T.)

يَأْتَسِرُ , inf. n. ا@يءْتِسَارٌ [written with the disjunctive alif اِيتِسَارٌ ]; for يَتَّسِرُ , inf. N. ا@تِّسَارٌ : see art. يسر .

استأسر لِلْعَدُوِ He submitted himself as a captive to the enemy. (Mgh.) You say, اِسْتَأْسِرْ , meaning Be thou a captive to me. (S,) -A2- See also 1.

أَسْرٌ i. q. اـِسَارٌ , q. v. (S.) Hence the saying, هٰذَا الشَّىْءُ لَكَ بِأَسْرِهِ This thing is for thee, or is thine,[lit.] with its thong of untanned hide [wherewith it is bound]; meaning, altogether; like as one says, بِرُمَّتِهِ . (S.) And خُذْهُ بِأَسْرِهِ Take thou it all, or altogether. (Msb.) And جَا=ءَ القَوْمُ بِأَسْرِهِمْ The people came altogether. (Aboo-Bekr.) ― -b2- Strength of make, or form. (M, K.) [Accord. to the copies of the K in my hands, it also signifies Strength of natural disposition; but instead of وَالخُلُق , in those copies, we should read وَالخَلْقُ , agreeably with other lexicons, as is implied in the TA: see 1.] You say, فُلَانٌ شَدِيدٌ أَسْرٍ الخَلْقِ (tropical:) Such a one is of strong, firm, or compact, make, or form. (TA.) ― -b3- شَدَدْنَا أَسْرَهُمْ , in the Kur [lxxvi. 28], means (tropical:) We have strengthened their make, or form: (S, A, Msb:) or, their joints: or, their two sphincters which serve as repressers of the urine and feces ( مَصَرَّتَىِ البَوْلِ وَ الغَايءِطِ ), which contract when the excrement has passed forth; or the meaning is, that these two things do not become relaxed before one desires. (IAar, K.)

أُسْرٌ , (S, M, IKtt, A,) a subst., (M, IKtt,) as also ↓ أُسُرٌ , (M, Lb,) meaning Suppression of the urine: (S, M, &c.:) suppression of the feces is termed حُصْرٌ : (S:) or a dribbling of the urine, with a cutting pain in the bladder, and pangs like those of a female in the time of parturition. (IAar.) You say, أَخَذَهُ الأَسْرُ [Suppression of urine, &c., took him, or affected him]. (A.) And أَنَالَهُ ا@للّٰهُ أُسْراً [May God give him a suppression of urine, &c.]: a form of imprecation. (A.) ― -b2- Hence, (M,) عُودُ أُسْرٍ (IAar, S, M, A, K) and عُودٌ أُسْرٌ and عُودُ الأُسْرِ (Expositions of the Fs) and عُودُ يُسْرِ , (IAar, K,) or this is a corruption, (K,) or a vulgar mistake, (A,) and should not be said, (Fr, S, A,) unless meant to be used as ominous of good, (A,) A stick, or piece of wood, which is put upon the belly of a man affected by a suppression of his urine, (S, A, K, &c.,) and which cures him. (A.)

أُسُرٌ : see أُسْرٌ .

أُسْرَةٌ (assumed tropical:) A man's kinsmen that are more, or most, nearly related to him; his near kinsmen: (S, * M, A, * Msb, * K:) or a man's nearer, or nearest, relations on his father's side: (Aboo-Jaafar En-Nahhás:) so called because he is strengthened by them. (S, A.)

اـِسَارٌ أسار اسار سار A thing with which one binds; (M, K;) a thong of untanned hide, (S, A, Msb,) with which one binds a camel's saddle, (As, S,) [as also اـِصَارٌ ,] and a captive; and so أَسْرٌ , q. v.: (S:) and a rope, or cord, with which a captive is bound: and a pair of shackles: (TA:) pl. أُسُرٌ . (M, K.) [See also 1.] You say, حَلَّ اـِسَارَهُ فَأَطْلَقَهُ He untied his thong of untanned hide wherewith he was bound, and released him. (A.) -A2- See also أَسِيرٌ .

أَسِيرٌ i. q. ↓ مَأْسُورٌ ; (S, TA;) Bound with an اـِسَار : (M, TA:) shackled: (K:) imprisoned: (Mujáhid, M, K:) captived, or a captive; (S, M, K;) absolutely, (TA,) although not bound with an اسار : (S:) and ↓ اـِسَارٌ is sometimes used in the same sense. (Msb.) اسير is also applied as an epithet to a woman, (Mgh, Msb,) when the woman is mentioned; but otherwise أَسِيرَةٌ is used as the fem.: you say, قَتَلْتُ الأَسِيرَةَ [I slew the female captive], like as you say, رَأَيْتُ القَتِيلَةَ . (Msb.) The pl. is أَسْرَى (S, M, Msb, K) and أَسَرَا=ءُ (M, K) and (accord. to several authors, pls. of أَسْرَى , TA) أُسَارَى (S, M, Msb, K) and أَسَارَى : (M, K:) the first of these forms of pl. is proper to epithets applied to those who are hurt or afflicted in their bodies or their intellects: (Aboo-Is-hák:) it is used in this instance because a captive is like one wounded or stung. (Th, M.)

تَا=سِيرُ السَّرْجِ تا=سير السرج [in the CK, erroneously, تَأْسِير ] The thongs of the horse's saddle, whereby it is bound: (K:) accord. to the more correct opinion, a pl. without a sing. (MF.)
