حَشَرَI , Present.T ـُ and ـِ the former of which aors. is found in the seven readings of the Kur, Verbal.Noun حَشْرٌ, He congregated, or collected together, men: or he congregated them, or collected them together, and drove them: he made them to go forth, collected together, from one place to another: he, or it, compelled them to emigrate: (K, * TA: [in the CK الخَلَآءُ is put by mistake for الجَلَاءُ, the explanation of the Verbal.Noun:]) and [simply] he drove towards a place or quarter. Hence يَوْمُ الحَشْرِ [The day of congregation, &c.; meaning] the day of resurrection: [see also مَحْشِرٌ:] and سُورَةُ الحَشْرِ [The Chapter of the Compulsion to emigration; which is the fifty-ninth chapter of the Kur-an]. It is said by most of the expositors of the Kur that the wild animals and other beasts, and even the flies, will be collected together (تُحْشَرُ) for retaliation; and they cite a trad. on this subject. So in the Kur [lxxxi. 5], وَ إِذَا الوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ And when the wild animals shall be collected together, from every quarter, after resurrection; or raised to life, for the purpose of their retaliating, one upon another; after which they shall return to dust: or the meaning is, shall die, in the present world; accord. to some: and thus says 'Ikrimeh, on the authority of I'Ab, as is related by Sa'eed Ibn-Masrook: but accord. to some, the two meanings are nearly the same; for each denotes collection. حَشْرٌ also signifies The going forth with a people fleeing or hastening or dispersing themselves in war; when used absolutely.
