حَارٌّ

Root: حر

Full Definition

حَارٌّ Hot: a very hot day, and food. IAar says, I do not say يَوْمٌ حَرٌّ . (TA in art. قر.) [This seems to imply that some allow it; and it is common in the present day. See جَرْمٌ.]
2 See an ex. of its fem., حَارَّة, in the next preceding paragraph.
3 Difficult, troublesome, distressing, fatiguing, or severe work. El-Hasan, when [his father] 'Alee ordered him to flog El-Weleed the son of 'Okbeh for drinking wine, in the days of 'Othmán, said, وَلِّ حَارَّهَا مَنْ تَوَلَّى قَارَّهَا Set thou over what is evil thereof him who has superintended what is good thereof: or set thou over what is difficult of the affair him who has superintended what is profitable thereof: meaning that only he should undertake the infliction of the flogging who superintends the profitable affairs of government.
4 جَآءَ فُلَانٌ حَارًّا مُخُّهُ, and حَارَّ العِظَامِ, Such a one came in a plump, or fat, state; contr. of بَارِدًا مُخُّهُ, and بَارِدَ العِظَامِ. (A and TA in art. برد.)
