فرط

6 تفارطوا ذ They vied, or strove, one with another, to precede, outgo, outstrip, or get before. (S, O. *) Bishr says, [using the verb transitively,] يُنَازِعْنَ الأَعِنَّةَ مُصْعَبَاتٍ كَمَا يَتَفَارَطُ الثَّمَدَ الحَمَامُ [ They contend with the reins, being unbroken and refractory, like as the pigeons vie, one with another, in striving to get first to the scanty remains of rainwater ]. (S.) ― -b2- [Hence,] تفارط فُلَانٌ Such a one preceded, or got before, and made haste. (O, K, TA.) ― -b3- And hence, (TA,) تَفَارَطَتْهُ الهُمُومُ, (O, K, TA,) and الأُمُورُ, (O, TA,) (assumed tropical:) Anxieties, and affairs, or events, came to him [ as though ] vying, one with another, to be first: (K, TA:) or befell him at an indefinite time, (O, * K, * TA,) but only at such a time. (O, TA.) You say also, ↓ فَارَطَتْهُ الهُمُومُ (assumed tropical:) Anxieties ceased not to come to him at one indefinite time after another. (TA.) ― -b4- تفارط الشَّىْءُ The time of the thing past; as also ↓ تفرّط, which occurs in a trad., relating to a time of prayer, and meaning its time passed before its being performed: (TA:) and both of these verbs are used in the sense next following in relation to a warring, or warring and plundering, expedition. (O.) The time of the thing became postponed, or delayed, so that he who desired it did not attain it. (K.) You say, تَفَارَطَتِ الصَّلَاةُ عَنْ وَقْتِهَا The prayer became delayed after its time. (TA.)
