أَمَّارٌ
[Wont to command]. [Hence,] النَّفْسُ الأَمَّارَةُ [The soul that is wont to command]; the soul that inclines to the nature of the body, that commands to the indulgence of pleasures and sensual appetites, drawing the heart downwards, so that it is the abode of evils, and the source of culpable dispositions. [See نَفْسٌ.]
