بَعِيدُ المُسْتَمَرِّ

, with fet-h to the second م, Strong in altercation, not weary of labouring or striving. (S, K.) A'Obeyd cites the following verse:

وَجَدْتَنِى أَلْوَى بَعِيدَ المُسْتَمَرْ

أَحْمِلُ مَا حُمِّلْتُ مِنْ خَيْرٍ وَشَرْ

[Thou findest me very contentious, strong in altercation, not weary of labouring or striving, bearing what is imposed on me of good and evil]. (S, T, A.) IB says, that this rejez is commonly ascribed to 'Amr Ibn-'Ás, but it is said to be quoted by him from Artáh Ibn-Suheiyeh: Sgh says, that it is ascribed to El-'Ajjáj, but is not his; and to En-Nejáshee El-Hárithee; and Aboo-Mohammad ElAarábee says, that it is by Musáwir Ibn-Hind.
