Full Definition

ضارّهُIII , Verbal.Noun مُضَارَّةٌ and ضَرَارٌ, He harmed him, injured him, or hurt him, in return, or in requital: whence the saying in a trad., لا ضَرَرَ وَلَا ضِرَارَ فِى الإِسْلَامِ There shall be no harming, injuring, or hurting, of one man by another, in the first instance, nor in return, or requital, in El-Islám: ضِرَارٌ is syn. with مُضَارَّةٌ: or, accord. to some, it is syn. with ضَرَرٌ; and in the phrase in a trad. mentioned above, is added as a corroborative. See also 1. مُضَارَّةٌ in the case of a testament is the not executing it; or the violating it in part; or the bequeathing to any unfit person or persons; and the like; contrary to the سُنَّة.
2 He disagreed with, or differed from, him; dissented from him; was contrary, opposed, or repugnant, to him; or he acted contrarily, contrariously, adversely, or in opposition, to him; syn. خالَفَهُ. And hence, accord. to some, the saying in a trad., relating to the seeing God on the day of resurrection, لَا تُضَارُّونَ فِى رُؤْيَتِهِ, i. e. Ye will not differ, one from another, nor dispute together, respecting the truth of the seeing Him; because of his manifest appearance: or the meaning is, لَا تُضَامُّونَ, and thus some relate it, meaning ye will not draw yourselves together, and straiten one another; one saying to another “ Show me Him, ” like as people do in looking at the new moon, but each will by himself have the sight of Him: or, as some say, it is لَا [originally تَتَضَارُّونَ], meaning لَا تَضَامُّونَ, [which is the same in signification as لَا تُضَامُّونَ], i. e. with fet-h to the ت: and some say, لا تُضَارُونَ, from الضَّيْرُ; [i. e. ye will not be hurt;] meaning ye will not hurt one another: (M in art. ضير:) and some, لَا تُضَامُون, from الضَّيْمُ.
3 See also 4; and the phrase تَزَوَّجَ عَلَى مُضَارَّةٍ, voce ضِرٌّ.
