It is said in the Kur [xxxv. 12], وَمَا يُعَمَّرُ مِنْ مُعَمَّرٍ وَلَا يُنْقَصُ إِلَّا فِى كِتَابٍ, i. e., No one whose life is prolonged has life prolonged, nor is aught diminished of his, meaning another's, life, but it is recorded in a writing: or the meaning is, nor does aught pass of his, i. e. the same person's, life: both these explanations are good; but the former seems more probably correct.

4 عَمَّرْتُكَ ٱللّٰهَ I ask, or beg, God to prolong thy life: or I remind thee of God. [It also seems to signify I swear to thee by the everlasting existence of God. See عَمْرَ ٱللّٰهِ.]
