حضر

3 حَاضَرْتُهُ حاضر حاضرة حاضرته حاضرتة , (A, TA,) inf. n. مُحَاضَرَةٌ, (TA,) I witnessed it; saw it, or beheld it, with my eye. (A, TA.) -A2- مُحَاضَرَةٌ between people is One's giving to another the answer, or reply, that presents itself to him: and حاضر الجَوَابَ signifies He gave the answer, or reply, readily, or presently. (Har p. 189.) ― -b2- حَاضَرْتُهُ, (S,) inf. n. as above, (K,) [also] signifies I sat with him, with my knee to his knee, each of us sitting upon his knees, in contending or disputing, (جَاثَيْتُهُ, S, K, *) in the presence of the Sultán: (S, K:) the meaning is similar to that of مُغَالَبَةٌ and مُكَاثَرَةٌ, (S,) or مُكَابَرَةٌ [which seems to be the right reading]. (TA.) ― -b3- [And حاضرهُ بِكَذَا He disputed, debated, or bandied words, with him respecting such a thing. ] ― -b4- And حاضرهُ بِحَقِّهِ, (Lth, TA,) inf. n. as above, (Lth, K,) He contended, or disputed, with him for his (the latter's) right, or due, and overcame him, and went off with it: (Lth, K:) and مُجَالَدَةٌ, also, [which is one of the explanations assigned to مُحَاضَرَةٌ in the K,] is syn. with مُحَاضَرَةٌ as the inf. n. of the verb in this sense [unless it be a mistranscription for مُجَادَلَةٌ, which I think not improbable]. (TA.) -A3- Also حَاضَرْتُهُ, (S, A,) inf. n. as above, (K,) I ran with him: (S, K:) or I vied, or contended, with him in running; syn. عَادَيْتُهُ; from الحُضْرُ. (A.)
