اـِصْرٌ اصر أصر اـصر صار صر A covenant, compact, or contract; (S, K;) as also ↓ أُصْرٌ and ↓ أَصْرٌ: (K:) [see also وصْرٌ:] any bond arising from relationship, or from a covenant or compact or contract, (Aboo-Is-hák,) and from an oath: (ISh:) a covenant, compact, or contract, which one does not fulfil, and for the neglecting and breaking of which one is punished: so in the Kur ii. 286: (I' Ab:) [see also what follows, in two places:] or a heavy, or burdensome, covenant, compact, or contract: so in the Kur iii. 75: (ISh, M:) so, too, in the same vii. 156: (T, M:) pl. اآصَارٌ, a pl. of pauc.: (M:) or a heavy, or burdensome, command; such as was given to the Children of Israel to slay one another: so in the Kur ii. 286, accord. to Zj. (TA.) ― -b2- A weight, or burden; (S, M, K;) as also ↓ أُصْرٌ and ↓ أَصْرٌ: (K:) so called because it restrains one from motion: (TA:) pl. as above. (M.) ― -b3- A sin; a crime; an offence; (S, M, K;) as also ↓ أُصْرٌ and ↓ أَصْرٌ: (K:) so called because of its weight, or burdensomeness: (TA:) or the sin of breaking a compact, or covenant: (Fr, Sh:) or a grievous punishment of a sin: so accord. to AM in the Kur ii. 286. (TA.) ― -b4- A thing that inclines one to a thing. (M, K.) [See also اآصِرَةٌ. It is said in the Ham (p. 321) that أَوَاصِرُ is pl. of the former word: but it is evidently pl. of the latter.] ― -b5- A swearing by an oath which obliges one to divorce or emancipate or to pay a vow. (K, TA.) So in a trad., in which it is said, مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ اـِصْرٌ فَلَا كَفَّارَةَ لَهَا [ Whoso sweareth an oath in which is an obligation to divorce or emancipate or to pay a vow, for it there is no expiation ]: for such is the heaviest of oaths, and that from which the way of escape, or evasion, is most strait: the original meaning of اصر being a burden, and a binding. (TA.) -A2- The ear-hole: pl. اآصَارٌ (IAar, K) and اـِصْرَانٌ. (K.)
