It is said in the Kur, [xxi. 87,] فَظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ نَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ And he thought that we would not straiten him: (Fr, AHeyth:) or the meaning is, لَنْ نُقَدِّرَ عَلَيْهِ مَا قَدَّرْنَا مِنْ كَوْنِهِ فِى بَطْنِ الحُوتِ, for نَقْدِر is syn. with نُقَدِّر; (Zj;) and this is correct; i. e., we would not decree against him what we decreed, of the straitness [ that should befall him ] in the belly of the fish: it cannot be from القُدْرَةُ [meaning power, or ability]; for he who thinks this [...]

(T.) ― -b3- He intended a thing or an affair; he determined upon it. (T.) [Said of God, He decreed, appointed, ordained, destined, predestined, or predetermined a thing.] ― -b4- [Hence, app., قدّر كَذَا, in grammar, He meant, or held, or made, such a thing to be supplied, or understood. You say تَقْدِيرُهُ كَذَا Its (a phrase's) implied, or virtual, meaning, or meaning by implication, is thus. And يُقَدَّرُ بِكَذَا Its implied meaning is to be expressed by saying thus. And تَقْدِيرًا is said in the sense of implicatively, or virtually, as opposed to لَفْظًا or literally. ― -b5- And He supposed such a thing. ] ― -b6- He made; syn. جَعَلَ and صَنَعَ. Ex., in the Kur, [xli. 9,] وَقَدَّرَ فِيهَا أَقْوَاتَهَا And He made therein its foods, or aliments. And it is said in the Kur, [x. 5,] وَقَدَّرَهُ مَنَازِلَ And hath made for it [the moon] mansions.

(Msb, K.) You say هٰذَا قَدْرُ هٰذَا, and ↓ قَدَرُهُ, This is the like of this [ in quantity, &c.; is commensurate with, or proportionate to, this; and so هذا ↓ هذا بِمِقْدَارِ]. (Msb.) And هُمْ قَدْرُ مِائةٍ, and مائة ↓ قَدَرُ, They are as many as a hundred. (Z, Msb.) And أَخَذَ بِقَدْرِ حَقِّهِ, and ↓ بِقَدَرِهِ, and ↓ بِمِقْدَارِهِ, He took as much as his due, or right.

But you say ↓ جَاآءَ عَلَى قَدَرٍ, thus only, with fet-h [to the dál, as is shown by what precedes in the Msb,] as meaning [ It came according to measure; i. e.,] it was conformable; it matched; it suited. (Msb.) You say also جَاوَزَ قَدْرَهُ or ↓ قَدَرَهُ [ He overstepped, transgressed, went beyond, or exceeded, his proper measure, bound, or limit: and the same is said of a thing]. (L, art. عند; &c.)

In the words of the Kur, [vi. 91,] وَمَا قَدَرُوا ا@للّٰهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ, [for explanations of which see 1,] we may also correctly read ↓ قَدَرِهِ. (TA.) -A2- قَدْرٌ and ↓ قَدَرٌ, (S,) [the latter of which is the more common,] or قَدَرٌ (JK, Msb, K) alone, (Msb,) or both, and ↓ مِقْدَارٌ and ↓ تَقْدِيرٌ, (TA,) and ↓ مَقْدَرَة, with fet-h only [to the د], (S,) Decree, appointment, ordinance, or destiny: or what is decreed, appointed, &c.: syn. قَضَاآءٌ and حُكْمٌ: (M, K:) or decree, &c., adapted [ to a particular case ], (Lth, JK, Az, TA,) by God; (S, Msb;) expl. by قَضَاآءٌ مُوَفَّقٌ, (Lth, JK, &c.,) and مَا يُقَدِّرُهُ ا@للّٰهُ مِنَ القَضَاآءِ, (S,) and القَضَاآءُ الَّذِى يُقَدِّرُهُ ا@للّٰهُ: (Msb:) [accord. to general usage, it differs from قَضَاآءٌ; this latter signifying a general decree of God, as that every living being shall die; whereas ↓ قَدَرٌ signifies a particular decree of God, as that a certain man shall die at a particular time and place &c.; or particular predestination: thus القَضَاآءُ وَالقَدَرُ may be rendered the general and particular decrees of God; or general and particular predestination or fate and destiny. The term قَدَرٌ is variously explained by different schools and sects: but its proper meaning seems to be that given above on the authority of Lth.] The pl. of ↓ قَدَرٌ is أَقْدَارٌ; (K, TA;) and of ↓ مَقَادِيرُ مِقْدَارٌ. (TA.) You say الأُمُورُ تَجْرِى بِقَدَرِ ا@للّٰهِ, and ↓ بِمِقْدَارِهِ, &c., Events have their course by the decree, &c., of God. (TA.)

قِدْرٌ ذ A cooking-pot; a vessel in which one cooks: (Msb:) [and it very often means the food contained therein; i. e. pottage of any kind: (see, for an ex., 3 in art. غلو:)] of the fem. gender (Msb, K, TA) without ة: (TA:) or it is made fem. (S, K) as well as masc., accord. to some: but he who asserts it to be made masc. is led into error by a saying of Th: AM observes, as to the saying of the Arabs, related by Th, مَا رَأَيْتُ قِدْرًا غَلَى أَسْرَعَ مِنْهَا [ I have not seen a cooking-pot that has boiled quicker than it ], قدر is not here meant to be made masc. but the meaning is, ما رأيت شَيْئًا غلى [ I have not seen a thing that has boiled ]; and similar to this is the saying in the Kur, [xxxiii. 52,] لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّسَاآءُ, meaning, لا يحلّ لك شَىْءٌ مِنَ النِّسَاآءِ: (TA:) the dim. is قُدَيْرٌ, without ة, contr. to analogy; (S, TA;) or قُدَيْرَةٌ, with ة, because قِدْرٌ is fem.; (Msb;) or both: (TA:) and the pl. is قُدُورٌ: (Msb, K:) it has no other pl. (TA.) [See a tropical ex. voce حامٍ.]
