Full Definition

احرزهُIV , Verbal.Noun إِحْرَازٌ, He kept, preserved, or guarded, it; he took care of it; as also , Present.T ـُ Verbal.Noun حَرْزٌ; or the latter is formed by substitution of a letter from حَرَسَهُ: or the former signifies he put it in a حِرْز [q. v.]; and so ↓ the latter: and the former, he preserved it from being taken. You say, أَحْرَرَهُ فِى وِعَائِهِ [He kept, or preserved, it in his, or its, receptacle]. And أَحْرَزْتُ المَتَاعَ I put the goods into the حِرْز. And أَنْفَسَكُمْ Preserve ye, or guard ye, yourselves: [or do so strenuously; for it is said that] حرّزهُ, Verbal.Noun تَحْرِيزٌ, signifies he took extraordinary pains in keeping, preserving, or guarding, it. You say also أَحْرَزَتْ فَرْجَهَا She guarded her pudendum; as though she put it in an inaccessible حِرْز. And احرز المَكَانُ الرَّجُلَ The place protected the man; afforded him refuge; as also حرّزهُ , Verbal.Noun تَحْرِيزٌ.
2 He made it firm, or strong. [He fortified it, or protected it against attack: see حَرُزَ.]
3 He drew, collected, or gathered, it together; as also , [Present.T ـُ] Verbal.Noun حَرْزٌ. Hence, أَحْرَزَ قَصَبَ السَّبْقِ He grasped, or clutched, the winning-canes; he got them for himself: he outstripped; outran; or won the race. (A, TA. See قَصَبٌ.) [Hence also,] أَحْرَزَ الأَجْرَ He took, received, or got possession of, the recompense, reward, hire, pay, or wages; syn. حَازَهُ. Whence the prov., أَحْرَزْتُ نَهْبِى وَ أَبْتَغِى النَّوَافِلَ [I have gained my spoil, and I seek the superabundant gain]: originally said by Aboo-Bekr: he used to perform the prayer called الوتر in the beginning of the night, and to say these words; meaning, that he had performed his وِتْر, and was safe from its escaping his observance, and that he had gained his recompense for it; and if he awoke in the night, would perform the supererogatory prayers. You say also, أَحْرَزَ الخَطَرَ [He won the bet]. (A in art. خطر.)
