Full Definition
أَبَرٌّ
[accord. to analogy signifies More, and most, pious &c.: see بَرٌّ. But the only meaning that I find assigned to it in any of the lexicons is that here following.
def.2 ] More, and most, distant in the desert, as to habitation. So in the saying, أَفْصَحُ العَرَبِ أَبَرُّهُمْ The most chaste in speech of the Arabs are the most distant of them in the desert, as to habitation. (T, K. * [In the latter, instead of افصح, we find أَصْلَحُ.])
