فَاقِرَةٌ

[An act that breaks, or will break, the vertebræ of the back: and hence,] (assumed tropical:) a calamity, or misfortune; (S, O, K;) as also ↓ فَيْقَرٌ: (S, O, K:) or, according to Lth and others, such as breaks the vertebræ of the back: (TA:) plural فَوَاقِرُ. (Har p. 399.) عَمِلَ بِهِ الفَاقِرَةَ is a prov., meaning He did to him an act breaking, or that would break, his vertebræ; or a calamity, or misfortune, as in the Qur'an, 75:25: (Meyd:) [or, according to J, it apparently means he did to him that which would render him tractable; for he says,] it is from the phrase فَقَرْتُ أَنْفَ البَعِيرِ. (S. [This phrase in the S has been strangely misunderstood by Golius; who has consequently, after mentioning the meaning “ infortunium, ” added “ et Habena seu capistrum, de quo in Conj. 1. ”])

And [hence] الفَاقِرَةُ signifies (assumed tropical:) The resurrection. (TA.)
