ثَمَرٌ

(T, S, M, A, Msb, K) and ↓ ثَمُرٌ (Sb, M, A) and ↓ ثِيمَارٌ, (M,) [coll. gen. ns.,] The fruit of trees; (M, K;) the several kinds of fruits; (T;) the fruit which a tree produces, whether it is eaten or not eaten: (Msb:) plural of the first, ثِمَارٌ; and plural plural (i. e. plural of ثِمَارٌ, Fr, S, M, Msb) ثُمُرٌ; and plural plural plural (i. e. plural of ثُمُرٌ, S, Msb) أَثْمَارٌ; (S, Msb, K;) and the plural of أَثْمَارٌ is أَثَامِيرُ; (IHsh, TA:) or ثُمُرٌ is plural of ثَمَرٌ; (AHeyth, TA;) or it may be plural of ثَمَرَةٌ, because it is of a form more common as that of a plural of a word of this form than of the form of ثِمَارٌ: (M:) ثَمَرَةٌ is the n. un. of ثَمَرٌ, (S, M, K,) and ثَمُرَةٌ is that of ثَمُرٌ: (Sb, M, K: *) the plural of ثَمَرَةٌ is ثَمَرَاتٌ (S, Msb) and ↓ ثَمْرَاءُ: (K:) [or rather this last is a quasi-plural n.:] ثَمُرَةٌ, which none but Sb mentions, has, according to him, no broken plural: (M:) IHsh says that there is no word like ثَمَرٌ in its series of pls. except أَكَمٌ. (MF: see أَكَمَةٌ.)

Also ثَمَرٌ, (M, A, K,) or ↓ ثَمُرٌ, (T, S,) and ↓ ثُمْرٌ, (S,) and ↓ ثَمَارٌ, (K,) or ↓ ثِيمَارٌ, (M,) or ↓ ثَيْمَارٌ; (TA;) of which last three, the first (ثمار) is disapproved by several writers; and some say that it is for ثَمَرٌ, the second vowel being lengthened for the sake of metre; (MF;) (tropical:) Property, or wealth, (T, S,) increased and multiplied: (S:) or various kinds of property or wealth, (I'Ab, M, K,) increased and multiplied, and gained, or acquired, for oneself: (I'Ab, B:) or, according to Mujáhid, ثَمَرٌ, in the Qur'an, means fruit; and ↓ ثَمُرٌ, property, or wealth; but Yoo did not admit this, apparently holding both to mean the same: (T:) in the Qur'an, 18:32, AA read ↓ ثُمْرٌ, and explained it as signifying kinds of property or wealth. (S.)
