ـُ] Verbal.Noun ذِكْرَى, which is fem., and imperfectly decl., and ذِكْرٌ [and ذُكْرٌ, or, accord. to EtTebreezee, the latter of these two but not the former, or, as is said in the Msb., both are properly substs., and a distinction is made between them, as will be shown below,] and تَذْكَارٌ, He preserved it in his memory: he remembered it; as also ذَكَرَهُ بِقَلْبِهِ [to distinguish it from ذَكَرَ in a sense afterwards to be explained], and
تذكّرهُ ; and
originally اِذْتَكَرَهُ and اِذَّكَرَهُ and اِذْدَكَرَهُ and
, signify the same as تذكّرهُ [as explained above]:
تذكّرهُ signifies also he became reminded of it; [and so
and its variations: and
seems properly to signify, as also
, he recollected it; or called it to mind: and he sought to remember it: and
and

المَنْسِىَّ and
[I remembered the thing forgotten, and I became reminded of it, or I recollected it]: and بَعْدَ أَمَهٍ, occurring in the Kur [xii. 45, accord. to one reading of the last word], means He remembered [or became reminded] after forgetting. And رَبَطَ فِى إِصْبَعِهِ خَيْطًا بِهِ حَاجَتِهِ [He tied upon his finger a thread or string, seeking to remember, or recollect, or call to mind, thereby the thing that he wanted: such a thread or string is commonly called رَتِيمَةٌ:]: and
is used alone with the like signification [i. e. He sought to remember]: and also signifies He studied a book and preserved it in his memory, accord. to the K; but accord. to other lexicons, he studied a thing in order to remember it, or preserve it in his memory: you say, بِدِرَاسَتِهِ
He sought to remember by his studying of a book.
2 ذَكَرَ حَقَّهُ, Verbal.Noun ذِكْرٌ He was mindful of his right, or claim; and did not neglect it. Agreeably with this explanation, the words in the Kur [ii. 231, &c.,] وَٱذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ ٱللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ have been rendered And be ye mindful of, and neglect not to be thankful for, the favour of God conferred upon you: like as an Arab says to his companion, اُذْكُرْ حَقِّىعَلَيْكَ Be thou mindful of my claim upon thee; and neglect it not.
3 [In like manner also are explained the words] وَٱذْكُرُوا مَا فِيهِ in the Kur [ii. 60], And study ye what is in it, and forget it not: or think ye upon what is in it: or do ye what is in it.
4 One says, مَا ٱسْمُكَ أَذْكُرْ, or أَذْكُرْهُ, the hemzeh of أَذْكُرْ being disjunctive, [in the CK we find مَا اسمُكَ اَذْكِرْهُ بقطعِ الهَمْزَةِ مِنْ اَذْكَر, as though the reading were أَذْكَرْهُ with a disjunctive hemzeh from أَذْكَرَ, which is manifestly wrong,] and with fet-h, because it is the hemzeh of the first person of a triliteral [unaugmented] verb, and with the ر mejzoom, because it is the complement of an interrogative phrase: it is expressive of disapprobation, and means, Acquaint me with thy name: [or, lit., what is thy name?] I will remember it, or I will bear it in mind (اذكره): the conditional phrase [if thou tell it to me] is suppressed because unnecessary, on account of frequent usage of the saying, and because what remains is indicative of it: the saying is a prov.; and is also related with the conjunctive hemzeh, [ٱذْكُرْ, or ٱذْكُرْ; in which case it is most appropriately rendered, What is thy name? Say: or Tell it] but the reading with the disjunctive hemzeh is that which is commonly known: [for]

You say ذَكَرْتُ لِفُلَانٍ حَدِيثَ كَذَاوَكَذَا I mentioned, or told, or related, to such a one the story of such and such things. And ذَكَرَ ٱمْرَأُ بِمَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ [He mentioned, or spoke of, a man as having that attribute which was not in him]. (El-Jámi' es-Sagheer voce مَنْ)
