Full Definition
2 اعمرهُ المَكَانَ, and فِيهِ, i. q. جَعَلَهُ يَعْمُرُهُ or جعله عَامِرَهُ [He made him to inhabit the place, or to people, or colonize, or cultivate, it]. So the latter signifies in the Kur [xi. 64], فِيهَا And He hath made you to dwell therein: or hath required of you to inhabit it, or to people it, &c.: or hath enabled and commanded you to do so: or hath permitted you to do so, and to fetch out by labour, or art, your food [for قومكم in the L and TA, I read قُوتكم, and this is evidently the right,] from it: or hath given you your houses therein for your lives; or made you to dwell in them during your lives, and then to leave them to others: or hath prolonged your lives therein.
3 أَعْمَرْتُهُ دَارًا, or أَرْضًا, or إِبِلًا, and إِيَّاهَا, I assigned to him the house for his life, or for my life, to inhabit it for that period; I said to him, of a house, or of land, or of camels, It is thine, or they are thine, for my life, or for thy life, and when thou diest it returns, or they return, to me. The doing so is forbidden. [See also عُمْرَى: and see أَرْقَبَ, and رُقْبَى.]
4 اعمر الأَرْضَ He found the land to be عَامِرَة, i. e., peopled [and cultivated, or in a flourishing state].
5 اعمر عَلَيْهِ He rendered him rich; made him to be possessed of competence or sufficiency, to be without wants, or to have few wants.
def.2 اعمرهُ He aided him to perform the visit called عُمْرَة; [said to be] on the authority of analogy; not on that of hearsay; but occurring in a trad.: or he made him to perform that visit.
def.3 See also 8.
