Hence, (Bd,) فَذَرْهُمْ فِى غَمْرَتِهِمْ, in the Qur'an, 23:56, (tropical:) Therefore leave thou them in [the submerging gulf, or flood, of] their ignorance; (Fr, Bd;) or in their error: (Jel:) or in their error and obstinacy and perplexity: (Zj, in explanation of another reading, فى غَمَرَاتِهِمْ:) and in like manner, فِى غَمْرَةٌ, in the same chap., verse 65, signifies in overwhelming heedlessness: (Bd:) or in ignorance: (Jel:) and in the Qur'an, 51:11, in overwhelming ignorance: (Bd, Jel:) or غَمْرَةٌ signifies [here] a state of obstinate perseverance in vain or false affairs: (Lth, Msb, TA:) and غَمَرَاتٌ is the plural (Msb.) You say هُوَ فِى غَمْرَةٍ
مِنْ لَهْوٍ, and شَبِيبَةٍ, and سُكْرٍ, (tropical:) [He is in a submerging gulf, or flood, of frivolous diversion, and of youthful folly, and of intoxication]. (TA.) And غَمَرَاتُ جَهَنَّمَ signifies [The fiery depths of Hell; or] the places, of Hell, that abound with fire. (TA.)

الحَرْبِ (assumed tropical:) The main part, i. e. the thick, or thickest, of the fight or battle. (See also غَمَرَاتُ الحَرْبِ in what follows.)]

Hence likewise, غَمْرَةٌ signifies also (tropical:) Difficulty, trouble, distress, or rigour, (S, Msb, K,) and pressure, of a thing: (K:) plural غَمَرَاتٌ (S, Msb, K) and غِمَارٌ (K) and غُمَرٌ. (S.) Hence, (Msb,) غَمَرَاتُ المَوْتِ (tropical:) The rigours, or pangs, (شَدَايءِدُ,) of death: (S, Msb:) or غَمْرَةُ
المَوْتِ signifies the agony, i. e. the vehemence of the troubles or disquietudes, of death: (TA:) and غَمَرَاتُ الحَرْبِ, and غِمَارُهَا, (assumed tropical:) the rigours of war. (TA.)
