He caused him to stumble, or trip; or to fall upon his face; [or simply, to fall;] as also
عثّرهُ ; [and so عَثَرَ بِهِ; (see 1, last sentence, and see also عَاثُورٌ, first sentence;)] said of God. IAar cites as an ex.,
2 [Hence,] اعثر بِهِ عِنْدَ السُّلْطَانِ, or عثّرهُ عِنْدَهُ, He impugned his character to the Sultán, and sought to make him fall into destruction by means of the latter.
3 And اعثرهُ عَلَيْهِ [He made him to stumble upon it, or to light on it by chance; or] he made him to get, or obtain, knowledge of it, or sight and knowledge of it; to become acquainted with it; to know it; or to see it; accidentally, or without seeking. Hence the phrase in the Kur [xviii. 20] أَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ; in which غَيْرَهُمْ, the objective complement, is suppressed. And اعثرهُ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ He guided him, or showed him the way, to his companions.
4 اعثر جَدَّهُ, and عثّرهُ , He [i. e. God] made his fortune, or good fortune, to fall. (K. [See عَثَرَ جَدُّهُ.])
