Full Definition

قَارَّهُIII , Verbal.Noun مُقَارَّةٌ, He settled, became fixed or established or motionless or quiet or still or at rest, rested, remained, or continued, with him. You say أَنَا لَا أُقَارُّكَ عَلَى مَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ I will not settle, &c., with thee in the state in which thou art. And hence the saying of Ibn-Mes'ood, قَارُّوا الصَّلَاةَ, from القَرَارُ, not from الوَقَارُ, meaning, Be ye still, without motion, and without play, during prayer.
