عَمَّرَهُ اللّٰهُ

, (S, O, Msb, K,) verbal noun تَعْمِيرٌ; (S, Msb;) and عَمَرَهُ, (Msb, K,) aorist عَمُرَ , (Msb,) verbal noun عَمْرٌ; (TA;) God lengthened, or prolonged, his life; (S, O, Msb, TA;) made him to continue in life; preserved him alive; (K, TA;) as also استعمرهُ. (O and Bd in xi. 64.) It is said in the Qur'an, 35:12, وَمَا يُعَمَّرُ مِنْ مُعَمَّرٍ وَلَا يُنْقَصُ إِلَّا فِى كِتَابٍ, i. e., No one whose life is prolonged has life prolonged, nor is aught diminished of his, meaning another's, life, but it is recorded in a writing: (I'Ab, Fr, * O: *) or the meaning is, nor does aught pass of his, i. e. the same person's, life: (Sa'eed Ibn-Jubeyr:) both these explanations are good; but the former seems more probably correct. (Az, TA.)

عمّر نَفْسَهُ He determined for himself, or assigned to himself, a limited life. (K.)

عمّر اللّٰهَ, verbal noun تَعْمِيرٌ, He acknowledged the everlasting existence of God. (S, TA.)

عَمَّرْتُكَ اللّٰهَ I ask, or beg, God to prolong thy life: (Ks, O, TA:) or I remind thee of God. (TA, apparently on the authority of Mbr.) [It also seems to signify I swear to thee by the everlasting existence of God. See عَمْرَ اللّٰهِ.]

أُعَمِّرُكَ اللّٰهَُ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا I adjure thee by God, and beg thee by the length of thy life, that thou do such a thing. (K, * TA.)
