ح • ش • ر

, aor. حَشُرَ and حَشِرَ , (S, Msb, K,) the former of which aors. is found in the seven readings of the Kur, (Msb,) inf. n. حَشْرٌ, (S, Msb, K,) He congregated, or collected together, (S, Msb, K,) men: (S, Msb:) or he congregated them, or collected them together, and drove them: (Msb, TA:) he made them to go forth, collected together, from one place to another: (Bd in lix. 2:) he, or it, compelled them to emigrate: (K, * TA: [in the CK الخَلَاءُ is put by mistake for الجَلَاءُ, the explanation of the inf. n.:]) and [simply] he drove towards a place or quarter. (TA.) Hence يَوْمُ الحَشْرِ (tropical:) [The day of congregation, &c.; meaning] the day of resurrection: (S, * TA:) [see also مَحْشِرٌ:] and سُورَةُ الحَشْرِ (tropical:) [The Chapter of the Compulsion to emigration; which is the fifty-ninth chapter of the Kur-an]. (TA.) It is said by most of the expositors of the Kur that the wild animals and other beasts, and even the flies, will be collected together (تُحْشَرُ) for retaliation; and they cite a trad. on this subject. (TA.) So in the Kur [lxxxi. 5], وَ إِذَا الوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ And when the wild animals shall be collected together, (Bd, Jel,) from every quarter, (Bd,) after resurrection; (Jel;) or raised to life, (Bd,) for the purpose of their retaliating, one upon another; after which they shall return to dust: (Bd, Jel:) or the meaning is, shall die, (Az, S,) in the present world; accord. to some: (Az:) and thus says 'Ikrimeh, (S, TA,) on the authority of I'Ab, (TA,) as is related by Sa'eed Ibn-Masrook: (S, TA:) but accord. to some, the two meanings are nearly the same; for each denotes collection. (TA.) حَشْرٌ also signifies The going forth with a people fleeing or hastening or dispersing themselves in war; when used absolutely. (TA.) حَشَرَتْهُمُ السَّنَةُ, aor. حَشُرَ and حَشِرَ (Lth,) inf. n. حَشْرٌ, (K,) (tropical:) The year of dearth destroyed their camels and other quadrupeds; because it causes the owners to collect themselves from the various quarters to the cities or towns: (Lth:) or it caused them to go down to the cities or towns: (A:) or it distressed them; app., because of their collecting themselves together from the desert to the places of settled abodes: (Abu-t- Teiyib:) and حَشَرَتِ السَّنَةُ مَالَ فُلَانٍ The year of dearth destroyed the camels &c. of such a one. (S, K. *) -A2- حَشَرَهُ, (S, A,) inf. n. حَشْرٌ, (S, K,) (tropical:) He made it (a spear-head, S, A) thin, or slender: (S, A, K:) he made it (a spear-head, and a knife,) sharp, or pointed, and thin, or slender: (TA:) he made it small, and thin, or slender: (Th:) he pared it; namely, a stick: (TA:) he pared it, and made it sharp, or pointed. (S.)

and حَشَرَاتٌ, (K,) each being a coll. n. without a sing.; (TA;) or the former is sing. of the latter; (S, Msb;) Any small animals that creep or walk upon the earth; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) as jerboas and hedgehogs and lizards of the kind called ضَبّ and the like: (TA:) or the former, (Msb,) or latter, (Mgh,) is applied to rats or mice, and jerboas, and lizards of the kind above mentioned, (Mgh, Msb,) colleted together: (Msb:) or any venomous or noxious reptiles or the like, such as scorpions and serpents; syn. هَوَامُّ; (As, K;) as also أَحْرَاشٌ and أَحْنَاشٌ. (As.) Also the former, Whatever is captured, snared, entrapped, hunted, or chased, of wild animals or the like, birds, and fish, &c.; (K;) whether small or great: (TA:) or the great thereof: or what is eaten thereof: (K:) thus in all the copies of the K; but the pronoun [in the latter case] does not refer to the animals &c. above mentioned: it is expressly said in the T and M that the word signifies whatever is eaten of herbs, or leguminous plants, of the earth, such as the دُعَاع and فَثّ. (TA.)

(tropical:) Anything thin, or slender, or elegant. (TA.) You say أُذُنُ حَشْرٌ (tropical:) A thin, or an elegant, ear; (Lth, ISk, S, A, K;) as though it were pared, (Lth, S,) and made sharp: (S:) or small, elegant, and round: (Lth:) or thin at the end: (Th:) or sharp-pointed: (TA:) and the epithet is the same for the dual also and the pl.: (K:) [J says that] it does not admit the dual form nor the pl., because it is originally an inf. n., and the expression above mentioned is like مَاءٌ غَوْرٌ and مَاءٌ سَكْبٌ: but اذن حَشْرَةٌ is sometimes said: (S:) and the pl. حُشُورٌ occurs in a verse of Umeiyeh Ibn-Abee-'Áïdh: (TA:) and you also say اذن ↓ مَحْشُورَةٌ.

(TA.) You also say بَعِيرٌ حَشْرُ الأُذُنِ (tropical:) A camel having a thin, or an elegant, ear. (TA.)
