وكم أهلكنا من قرية بطرت معيشتها ؛ أراد بطرت في معيشتها فحذف وأوصل؛ قال أبو إسحاق: نصب معيشتها بإسقاط في وعمل الفعل، وتأويله بطرت في معيشتها.

And how many a town have We destroyed which was batr in its livelihood! He meant 'batrat in its livelihood', so he omitted 'fi' and connected the verb. Abu Ishaq said: 'ma'ishataha' is accusative due to omission and the verb's action, and its interpretation is 'batrat in its livelihood'.

وبطر الرجل وبهت بمعنى واحد.

And batara the man and bahata are one meaning.

وقال الليث: البطر كالحيرة والدهش، والبطر كالأشر وغمط النعمة.

And Al-Layth said: Al-batr is like confusion and astonishment, and Al-batr is like exuberance and disdain for favor.

وأبطره ذرعه: حمله فوق ما يطيق، وقيل: قطع عليه معاشه وأبلى بدنه؛ وهذا قول ابن الأعرابي، وزعم أن الذرع البدن، ويقال للبعير القطوف إذا جارى بعيرا وساع الخطو فقصرت خطاه عن مباراته: قد أبطره ذرعه أي حمله أكثر من طوقه؛ والهبع إذا ماشى الربع أبطره ذرعه فهبع أي استعان بعنقه ليلحقه.

And his capacity abtarahu: it burdened him beyond what he could bear, and it is said: it cut off his livelihood and wore out his body; and this is the saying of Ibn Al-A'rabi, who claimed that 'al-dhar'' means the body. And it is said of a camel that is slow if it races another camel and tries to match its stride but its steps fall short of matching it: 'Its capacity has abtarahu', meaning it burdened it more than it could handle; and if a camel walks with a wild ass, its capacity abtarahu, so it stretches its neck to catch up.

الكبر بطر الحق وغمص الناس ؛ وبطر الحق أن لا يراه حقا ويتكبر عن قبوله، وهو من قولك: بطر فلان هدية [هدية] أمره إذا لم يهتد له وجهله ولم يقبله؛

Arrogance is batr of the truth and looking down on people; and batr of the truth is not to see it as truth and to be arrogant about accepting it, which is like your saying: 'So-and-so batara the gift of his affair' if he did not understand it, was ignorant of it, and did not accept it;

فكان معنى قوله بطر الحق أن يراه باطلا، ومن جعله من قولك بطر إذا تحير ودهش، أراد أنه تحير في الحق فلا يراه حقا.

So the meaning of his saying 'batara the truth' is to see it as false, and whoever derives it from your saying 'batara' when one is confused and astonished, meant that he was confused about the truth and did not see it as truth.

'Batrat your livelihood' is not transitive, but rather like their saying: 'Your stomach became afflicted', 'Your affair became guided', 'Your soul became foolish', and similar expressions where the form is active but the meaning is passive.

ويقال: لا يبطرن جهل فلان حلمك أي لا يدهشك عنه.

And it is said: 'Let not the ignorance of so-and-so batara your forbearance', meaning, 'Let it not astonish you away from it'.
