حذر

حَذِرٌ ذ (S, A, Msb, K) and ↓ حَذُرٌ (S, A, K) Cautious; wary; vigilant; on his guard; careful; (S;) or in a state of preparation; (Msb;) as also ↓ حَاذِرٌ; (S, A, Msb;) and fearful: (S:) or very cautious or wary or vigilant or careful; as also ↓ حَاذُورَةٌ (K) and ↓ حِذْرِيَانٌ: (A, K:) or this last signifies very fearful and cautious &c.: (S:) pl. of the first حَذِرُونَ and حَذَارَى. (S, K.) Sb cites, as an ex. of حَذِرٌ used transitively, حَذِرٌ أُمُورًا لَا تُخَافُ وَ اآمِنٌ مَا لَيْسَ مُنْجِيهِ مِنَ الأَقْدَارِ [ Cautious, or very cautious, of things not to be feared, and trusting in that which will not save him from the decrees of destiny ]: but this is extr.; for an epithet of the measure فَعِلٌ is not [regularly] trans., so as to govern an objective complement. (S, TA.) In the Kur xxvi. 56, some read ↓ حَاذِرُونَ; and some, حَذِرُونَ and ↓ حَذُرُونَ: حاذرون signifying in a state of preparation; (Zj, S;) or fully equipped with arms: (Sh:) and حذرون, in a state of fear; (S;) or in a state of preparation; (TA;) or in a state of preparation with the accoutrements of war; (Ibn-Mes'ood;) or cautious, or vigilant. (Zj.)
