Hence the saying, (TA,) لَا قَطْعَ فِى حَرِيسَةِ الجَبَلِ (tropical:) [ There shall be no amputation of the hand for the sheep, or goat, that is stolen by night from the mountain ]. (A, TA.) IF says that there are two explanations of the expression حريسة الجبل: some make it to signify theft, or the thing stolen, (السَّرِقَةُ,) itself: others make the meaning to be, that there shall be no amputation for [stealing] what is guarded, or kept, in the mountain, because it is not a place well protected: ISk says that الحَرِيسَةُ signifies السَّرِقَةُ.

(TA.) And hence, He hunted, or sought to capture, or captured, the ضبّ in any manner. (Ham p. 61.) Hence also the saying, لَهُوَ أَخْبَثُ مِنْ ضَبٍّ حَرَشْتَهُ [ Verily he is worse than a ضبّ which thou hast hunted ]: for sometimes the ضبّ scents [its pursuer], and circumvents [him], and cannot be caught. (TA.) And hence the prov., alluding to one's discoursing to a learned man with the desire of instructing him, أَتُعْلِمُنِى بِضَبٍّ أَنَا حَرَشْتُهُ [ Dost thou acquaint me with a ضبّ which I have captured? ].

1 حَرَصَهُ حرص حرصه حرصة , aor. [ حَرِصَ and] حَرُصَ , (TK,) inf. n. حَرْصٌ, (T, S, K, &c.,) He rent it; or clave it: (T, S, K, &c.:) and he, or it, stripped off, scraped off, rubbed off, abraded, or otherwise removed, its superficial part, peel, rind, or the like: (T, K, &c.:) the former, (Az,) or the latter, (Az, Er-Rághib, B,) is the primary signification. (TA.) You say, حَرَصَ القَصَّارُ الثَّوْبَ, (S, A, Mgh, Msb,) aor. حَرِصَ (S, Msb, TA) and حَرُصَ , (Msb,) inf. n. حَرْصٌ, (Msb, TA,) The beater and washer and whitener rent the garment, or piece of cloth, (A, Mgh, Msb, TA,) in beating it: (Mgh:) or made holes in it by beating it: (S, TA: *) or made holes and rents in it thereby: or abraded its superficial part thereby. (TA.) And حُرِصَ المَرْعَى The pasture, or herbage, became entirely consumed, nothing of it being left; (IF, K;) as though it were stripped off from the surface of the land. (TA.) -A2- حَرَصَ عَلَيْهِ, (T, S, A, Msb, K, *) aor. حَرِصَ (T, S, Msb, K) and حَرُصَ , mentioned by IKtt and the author of the Iktitáf, (MF,) inf. n. حَرْصٌ; (Msb;) and حَرِصَ, aor. حَرَصَ , (T, Msb, K,) inf. n. حَرَصٌ; (Msb; [but it seems to be indicated in the K, by its being said that the pret. is like سَمِعَ, that it is حَرْصٌ;]) the latter form of the verb, however, is bad; (T, TA;) though El- Kurtubee is asserted by MF to have said that the former is of weak authority; which is clearly wrong, as the readers of the Kur are generally agreed in using it; (TA;) He desired it vehemently, eagerly, greedily, very greedily, or with avidity; he hankered after it; he coveted it; he desired it excessively, or inordinately: (S, * K, * TA:) or he desired it culpably; namely, worldly good: (Msb:) said by Az to be derived from the first of the significations mentioned in this art., or, as is also said by Er-Rághib, and in the B, from the second thereof; because, says Az, he who does so [may be said by a figure of speech to be one who] scratches off the outer skin of the faces of men by his so doing: but MF regards this as improbable; and says that most of the lexicologists hold the last to be the primary signification, and others to be taken from it: (TA:) حَرَصَ عَلَيْهِ, aor. حَرِصَ , inf. n. حَرْصٌ, also signifies he strove, or laboured; exerted himself; took pains, or extraordinary pains; to acquire, obtain, or attain, it: (Msb, TA: *) and ↓ احترص signifies the same as حَرَصَ [ he desired vehemently, &c.]: (K:) and he strove, or laboured; exerted himself; took pains, or extraordinary pains; to acquire, obtain, or attain, a thing. (AA, K, * TA.) You say, لَا حَرَسَ ا@للّٰهُ مَنْ حَرَصَ [ May God not guard him who desires inordinately, or culpably ]. (A.) Aboo-Dhu-eyb makes حَرَصْتُ trans. by means of بِ, in the following verse: وَلَقَدْ حَرَصْتُ بِأَنْ أُدَافِعَ عَنْهُمُ فَاـِذَا المَنِيَّةُ أَقْبَلَتْ لَا تُدْفَعُ [ And verily I had purposed to defend them by repelling aggression from them; but lo, the decree of death came: it was not to be repelled ]: meaning, هَمَمْتُ. (TA.) ― -b2- [Also He was excessively solicitous, or careful, and fearful, respecting him; and excessively pitiful, or compassionate, to him. See حِرْصٌ and حَرِيصٌ.]

3 حارص عَلَى الأَمْرِ ذ He kept, or applied himself, constantly, or perseveringly, to the thing, or affair. (TA in art. حفظ.)
