دَرٌّ در an inf. n. used as a subst., (Msb,) Milk; (S, A, Msb, K;) as also ↓ دِرَّةٌ. (K.) Hence, ذَوَاتُ الدَّرِّ, and الدَّرُّ alone, Milch-animals. (TA.) And أُمَّهَاتُ الدَّرِّ The teats of a camel or clovenfooted animal. (TA.) ― -b2- Hence also the saying, لِلّٰهِ دَرُّكَ (tropical:) To God be attributed the good that hath proceeded from thee! or thy good deed! (TA:) or thy deed: (A:) or thy gift! and what is received from thee! [and thy flow of eloquence! and the like: when said to an eloquent speaker or poet, it may be rendered divinely art thou gifted! ] a man's gift [or the like] was originally thus likened to the milk of a camel; and then this phrase became so common as to be used as expressive of admiration of anything: (Aboo-Bekr, TA:) it was first said by a man who saw another milking camels, and wondered at the abundance of their milk: (ISd, TA:) the thing alluded to therein is attributed to God to indicate that none other could be its author. (TA.) You say also, لِلّٰهِ دَرُّهُ (tropical:) To God be attributed his deed! (S, K:) or his knowledge! or his good! or bounty! or beneficence! (Har p. 418:) [&c.:] meaning praise. (S.) Accord. to IAar, دَرٌّ signifies (tropical:) A deed, whether good or evil. (TA.) Ibn-Ahmar says, لِلّٰهِ دَرِّى [ To God be attributed what hath brought me to this state! ] wondering at himself. (TA.) One also says, لِلّٰهِ دَرُّكَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ, which is likewise an expression of praise, (S,) meaning (tropical:) To God be attributed the goodness, or good action, of thee, as a man! [i. e., of such a man as thou! ] (TA.) And لِلّٰهِ دَرُّهُ فَارِسًا (tropical:) [ To God be attributed his excellence as a horseman! ]. (Msb.) And, in dispraise, (S,) دَرُّهُ ↓ لَا دَرَّ May his good, or wealth, not be, or become, much, or abundant! (S, A, TA:) or may his work not thrive! (K.) El-Mutanakhkhil says, لَا دَرَّ دَرِّىَ اـِنْ أَطْعَمْتُ نَازِلَهُمْ قِرْفَ الحَتِّىِ وَعِنْدِى البُرُّ مَكْنُوزُ [ May my wealth not become abundant, or may my work not thrive, if I feed him among them who is a guest with the rind of حَتِىّ (q. v.) when I have wheat stored up ]: this verse is cited by Fr, who also mentions the phrase, دَرَّ دَرُّ فُلَانٍ [ May the wealth of such a one become abundant! or may his work thrive! ]. (TA.) -A2- Also The soul; syn. نَفْسٌ. (K.) One says رَجُلٌ سَرِىٌّ الدَّرِّ A man of generous and manly soul. (TK.) And دَفَعَ ا@للّٰهُ عَنْ دَرِّهِ May God defend his soul. (Lh.)
