(TA.) And it is said in another trad., مَنْ جَلَسَ مَجْلِسًا لَمْ يَذْكُرِ ا@للّٰهَ فِيهِ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ تِرَةً (assumed tropical:) He who sitteth in an assembly in which God is not mentioned is obnoxious to detriment, or loss: or, as some say, to a claim of reparation for wrongful conduct.

2 وتّر الصَّلَاةَ ذ : see 1, near the beginning. -A2- وتّر القَوْسَ He fastened, bound, firmly, or braced, the string of the bow; expl. by شَدَّ وَتَرَهَا; (Lh, M, K;) as also ↓ أَوْتَرَهَا; (Lh, M, Msb;) both these signify the same; (S, in which the meaning is not explained;) and ↓ وَتَرَهَا, (M, TA,) inf. n. وَتْرٌ: (TA:) or ↓ اوترها signifies he put to it a string: (M, K:) and ↓ وَتَرَهَا, (M, K,) aor. يَتِرُهَا, (K,) inf. n. تِرَةٌ, (TA,) he attacked to it its string: (M, K:) this, accord. to some, is the proper signification of the last. (M.) It is said in a proverb, اـِنْبَاضٌ بِغَيْرِ تَوْتِيرٍ [ Twanging the bow without bracing the string ]: (S:) or لَا تُعْجِلِ الاـِنْبَاضَ قَبْلَ التَّوْتِيرِ [ Hasten not the twanging of the bow before the bracing of the string ]: alluding to the hastening a thing before its proper time. (M.) [See also art. نبض. And see 2 in arts. جنب and حنب.]

3 واتر بَيْنَ أَخْبَارِهِ ذ , (A, and so in some copies of the K,) or ↓ أَوْتَرَ, (M, and so in some copies of the K,) and بين كُتُبِهِ, (M,) and واتر أَخْبَارَهُ, (M, K; in the latter of which وَاتَرَهُ is put by mistake for وَاتَرَهَا, as is observed in the TA,) and كُتُبَهُ, (M, A, K,) inf. n. مُوَاتَرَةٌ (S, M, K,) and وِتَارٌ, (M, K,) He made his tidings, or narrations, and his writings, or letters, to follow one another: (M, A, K:) or with some intervals between them; for مواترة between things is only when there is some interval between them; otherwise it is مُدَارَكَةٌ and مُوَاصَلَةٌ: (S, K:) or واتر الكُتُبَ signifies he made the writings, or letters, to follow one another nearly, one by one, without ceasing: (S:) or he made them to follow one another with a small interval between every two: (T:) and وَاتر الخَبَرَ he made the tidings, or narration, to follow one part after another: or, accord. to As, with a small space between every two portions thereof: from وِتْرٌ in the sense of فَرْدٌ. (T.) You say also وَاتر بَيْنَ مِيَرِهِمْ He made their supplies of wheat to come to them without stopping; time after time. (TA, from a trad.) And it is said in a trad., لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يُوَاتِرَ قَضَاآءَ رَمَضَانَ There will be no harm in his performing the fast of Ramadán at intervals, fasting one day and breaking fast one day: (TA:) مُوَاتَرَةُ الصَّوْمِ is the fasting one day and breaking fast one day, or two; performing it separately: it does not mean المُوَاصَلَةُ, because it is from الوِتْرُ, (S, K, TA,) i. e., الفَرْدُ. (TA.)

(Mgh, Msb, art. طفر.) ― -b2- وَثَبَ المَوْضِعَ [ He leaped, or jumped, upon, or over the place ].

(TA.) ― -b6- It is also much used by the vulgar as signifying The act of hastening to a thing; as observed by MF, who is wrong in saying that there is nothing in the lexicons that favours its being so used. (TA.) -A2- وَثَبَ, [aor. يَثِبُ,] inf. n. وَثْبٌ, in the dial. of Himyer signifies He sat; sat down. (K, TA, from a trad.) ثِبْ in that dial. signifies Sit; sit down. (S.) It is related that Zeyd Ibn-Abd-Allah Ibn-Dárim came as an envoy to one of the kings of Himyer, and found him at a hunting-place belonging to him, on a high mountain, and he saluted him, and mentioned to him his lineage, or relationship; whereupon the king said to him ثِبْ, meaning اـِجْلِسْ, Sit; but the man thought that he commanded him to leap from the mountain; and he said, “ Thou shalt find me, O king, very obedient: ” then he leaped from the mountain, and perished. So the king said, “ What ailed him? ” And they explained to him his case, and his mistake respecting the word: upon which he said لَيْسَتْ عِنْدَنَا عَرَبِيَّتْ مَنْ دَخَلَ ظَفَارِ حَمَّرَ i. e., [“ Arabic is not current with us: ” (for, probably, in the time of this king, the term عَرَبِيَّة was only applied to the general language of Arabia:) “ whoso entereth Dhafári,] let him learn [or, rather, speak, as MF says,] the Himyeree language. ” (Mz., 16th نوع.) [The principal facts of this anecdote are also mentioned in the S, on the authority of As.] By the king's saying عَرَبِيَّتْ was meant العَرَبِيَّةُ: the ة is pronounced ت in the case of a pause (which is the case here) in their dialect. (S.) Or, accord. to another relation of the above anecdote, the king said لَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا عَرَبِيَّتْ كَعَرَبِيَّتْكُمْ [“ Arabic like your Arabic is not current with us: ”] and this, says ISd, is the right reading in my opinion: for the king did not mean to exclude himself from the Arabs. (MF.)
