أَنْذَرْتُهُIV , and انذرته الشَّىْءَ, Verbal.Noun إِنْذَارٌ and نُذْرٌ the latter accord. to Kr, but correctly it is a simple subst., and نُذُرٌ, or this is pl. of نَذِيرٌ, and نَذْرٌ, accord. to Lh and Kr, [but this is properly a simple subst.,] and نَذِيرٌ, accord. to Zj, or Ez-Zejjájee, but this should rather be regarded as a simple subst., I informed him, or advised him, of the thing: this is the primary signification: and [I warned him of the thing;] I cautioned him, or put him on his guard, against the thing, and put him in fear, in my communication or announcement: in this sense the verb is used in the Kur, xl. 18: or I announced to him the thing, generally in a case of putting in fear the person addressed, or frightening him, or never otherwise than in such a case: and thus the verb is used in the Kur, ubi supra., وَأَنْذرْهُم يَوْمَ آلازِفَةِ [And warn them and put them in fear of the day of the approaching event, the day of resurrection] meaning, put them in fear of its punishment: and أَنْذَزْتُهُ بِكَذَا I informed him, or advised him, of such a thing. انذرهُ also signifies He informed him, or advised him, of the state of the enemy: in the copies of the K, نَذَرَهُ; but this is a mistake. And you say, أَنْذَرْتُ القَوْمَ مَسِيرَ العَدُرِّ إِلَيْهِمْ I informed the people of the march of the enemy towards them, to put them on their guard. And أَنْذَرْتُ القَوْمَ بِالعَدُوِّ, and أَنْذَرْتُهُمُ العَدُوَّ, signify the same. It is said in a proverb, قَدْ أَعْذَرَ مَنْ أَنْذَرَ, meaning, He hath become excused, and averted from himself the blame of men, who hath warned thee that he will punish thee for a future evil deed proceeding from thee, if thou then do the evil deed and he punish thee. See also أَعْذَرَ, in two places: and see عُذْرٌ.
