Full Definition

ذَخَرَهُI , Present.T ـَ Verbal.Noun ذُخْرٌ , or this is a simple subst., and the Verbal.Noun is ذَخْرٌ; and , of the measure اِفْتَعَلَ, originally اِذْتَخَرَهُ, the ت being changed into د, and the ذ being incorporated into it; and some of the Arabs say , which is allowable; but the former is more common; He hoarded it, treasured it, or laid it up for the future; reposited it, or stored it, in secret; or he prepared it, or provided it; for a time of need: or he chose it, or selected it, and took it for himself, or prepared it. Some have made a distinction between ذخر and دخر, saying that the former relates to the world to come, and the latter to the present world; but this is a manifest mistake.
2 ذَخَرَ لِنَفْسِهِ حَدِيثًا حَسَنًا He reserved, or preserved, for himself [a good story, or the like].
3 ذَخَرَ مِنْ عَدْوِهِ [He reserved somewhat of his run, i. e., power of running, or was sparing of it, for the time of need]. (M in art. صون.) [See also مُدَّخِرٌ, below.]
4 فُلَانٌ مَا نُصْحًا [Such a one does not treasure in his heart good advice].
