[1]
خَسِرَ , (S, A, Msb, K, &c.,) aor.
خَسَرَ ; (K;)
and
خَسَرَ, aor.
خَسِرَ ; (K;) but the latter is an unusual form [except in the sense of
أَخْسَرَ]; (B,
TA;) inf. n.
خُسْرَانٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and
خُسْرٌ
(S, Msb, K) and
خَسَارَةٌ (Msb, K) [which are the
only forms assigned in the TA to the verb when
used with reference to traffic] and
خُسُرٌ and
خَسْرٌ
and
خَسَرٌ and
خَسَارٌ; (K;)
He lost, or
suffered
loss or
diminution: or
he was deceived, cheated,
beguiled, or
circumvented: (K:)
فِى البَيْعِ in
selling; (S;) or
فِى بَيَعِهِ in his selling; (A;) or
فِى تِجَارَتِهِ in his traffic: (Msb, K: [see also 4:])
the former is the original signification: (TA:)
he suffered diminution of his capital; he lost part
thereof: (B, TA:) and
he lost his capital altogether. (Bd in iv. 118; &c.)
خُسْرَانٌ is also
attributed to an action, as well as to a man: (B,
TA:) you say, (but in this case the verb is used
tropically, A,)
خَسِرَتْ تِجَارَتُهُ (tropical:) [
His traffic was
losing; or
an occasion of loss]; (A, B;) opposed
to
رَبِحَتْ. (A.) It is also used in relation to
personal acquisitions; such as health, and safety,
and intellect, and faith, and the recompense or
reward of obedience [to God], which God has
declared [Kur xxii. 11 and xxxix. 17] to be manifest
خُسْرَان, (B,) since there is none like it. (Bd.)
For instance, you say,
خَسِرَ عَقْلَهُ, and
مَالَهُ,
He
lost his intellect, and
his property. (IAar.) [In
a phrase of this kind, the noun which immediately
follows the verb may be considered as put in the
accus. case on account of the rejection of a prep.,
namely
فِى: for] it is said that
خَسِرَ is never
used otherwise than intransitively: though this
has been contradicted, on the ground of the following phrase in the Kur [xxii. 11],
خَسِرَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
وَ ٱلْآخِرَةَ [
He hath lost, or
he loseth, the things of
the present life and of the latter life]; and the
like; as
ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ أَهْلِيهِمْ [
Who shall
have lost themselves, or
their own souls, and their
families, or
their wives; Kur xxxix. 17 and
xlii. 44]; (MF, TA;) i. e., themselves, or their
own souls, by their having erred, and their families by their having caused them to err, or by
being separated from them for ever; (Bd;) or
by being themselves made to remain for ever in
Hell, and by their not gaining access to the
حُور
prepared in Paradise [as wives] for the believers:
(Jel:) or the meaning is, accord. to Fr,
who shall
be deceived of their own souls, &c.: or, accord. to
others,
who shall have destroyed their own souls,
&c. (TA.) ―
2-b2- Also [
He experienced, or
saw, that
he was loser; or]
his having lost became manifest to him: so in the Kur xl. [78 and] last verse.
(TA.) ―
2-b3- Also (with all the forms of the inf. n.
above mentioned, K,)
He erred; went astray;
deviated from, or
lost, or
missed, the right way:
or
he became lost; he perished; or
he died: syn.
ضَلَّ, (K,) and
هَلَكَ. (Msb.) ＝
1-A2-
خَسَرَهُ, (A 'Obeyd,
IAar, Zj, S, A, &c.,) aor.
خَسِرَ (Zj, Msb) and
خَسُرَ , (Bd
in lv. 8,) inf. n.
خَسْرٌ (Msb, K) and
خُسْرَانٌ; (K;)
and ↓
اخسرهُ, (A 'Obeyd, Zj, S, A, Msb,) inf. n.
إِخْسَارٌ; (Msb, K;) and ↓
خسّرهُ; (A;)
He made
it defective, or
deficient; (A 'Obeyd, IAar, Zj, S,
A, Msb, K;) namely, the weight, and the measure; (Zj, TA;) and the thing weighed; (TA;)
and the balance, (A 'Obeyd, IAar, Zj, A, Msb,)
by diminishing the weight. (Msb.) ↓ The second
of these forms is more common, in this sense, than
the first (Zj, TA) [and than the third]. For
وَ لَا تُخْسِرُوا ↓
ٱلْمِيزَانَ, in the Kur lv. 8, there are
three other readings; namely
تَخْسُرُوا and
تَخْسُروا
and
تَخْسَرُوا; in the last of which, the prep.
فِى
is omitted after the verb. (Bd.) ―
2-b2- [And
He, or
it, made him to lose, or
suffer loss; to err, or
go
astray; to become lost, or
to perish.]
