ذِكْرٌ
and
ذُكْرٌ , or the latter only in the first of the senses here to be explained, and the latter only is mentioned in this sense in the Fs, and is said by El-Ahmar to be of the dial. of Kureysh, [both said in the Msb to be simple substs., though many hold them to be inf. ns.,] and
ذَكْرٌ , accord. to one of the expositors of the Fs, but this is strange, and
ذِكْرَةٌ and
ذُكْرَةٌ and
ذِكْرَى , and also دِكْرٌ and دُكْرٌ, mentioned by ISd as of the dial. of Rabee'ah, but held by him to be of weak authority, Remembrance; the presence of a thing in the mind: also termed ذِكْرٌ بِالقَلْبِ, to distinguish it from ذِكْرٌ in another sense, to be explained below: he pl. of
ذِكْرَةٌ is ذِكَرٌ, also said to be pl. of
ذِكْرَى . (MF, art. احد.) You say, اِجْعَلْهُ مِنْكَ عَلَى and ذِكْرٍ in the same sense, Place thou him, or it, in thy remembrance. And عَلَى أَجْعَلَهُ مِنِّى, and ذِكْرٍ, I will not forget him, or it. And
مَا زَالَ مِنِّى عَلَى , and ذِكْرٍ or the former only, He, or it, did not cease to be in my remembrance; I did not forget him, or it. And
أَنْتَ مِنِّى عَلَى
Thou art in my mind.
2 The words in the Kur [xxix. 44] وَلَذِكْرُ ٱللّٰهِ أَكْبَرُ admit of two explanations: The remembrance of God is better for a man than a man's remembrance of a man: and the remembrance of God is better as more efficacious in forbidding evil conduct than is prayer.
3 ذِكْرٌ also signifies Memory; a certain quality of the mind, by which a man is able to remember what he cares to know; like حِفُظٌ, except that this latter term is used with regard to the preservation of a thing [in the mind], whereas the former is used with regard to calling it to mind.
def.2 Also ذِكْرٌ and ذُكْرٌ , or the former only accord. to Fr, and ذِكْرَى The mention, telling, relating, or saying, of a thing: said by some to be contr. of صَمْتٌ: and also termed ذِكْرٌ بِاللِّسَانِ to distinguish it from ذِكْرٌ in the sense first explained above.
