(Msb.) Hence, كَانَ بَيْنَ عُمَرَ وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ عَفْرَآءَ دَرْءٌ There was, between 'Omar and Mo'ádh Ibn-'Afrà, a contending, and a mutual pushing or thrusting, &c. (Mgh.) And دَرَأَ عَنْهُمْ He repelled from them, or defended them; as also دَرَهَ, which is formed by substitution from the former, like هَرَاقَ from أَرَاقَ. (S in art. دره.) And دَرَأَ عَنْهُ الحَدَّ He averted (دَفَعَ) from him the prescribed castigation: (M, Mgh:) or he deferred his prescribed castigation: and in like manner the verb is used in relation to other things. (AZ, T.) It is said in a trad., اِدْرَؤُوا الحُدُودَ بِالشُّبُهَاتِ [Avert ye, or defer ye, the prescribed castigations on account of dubious circumstances]. (ISk, M, TA.) And اِدْرَؤُوا الحُدُودَ مَا ا@سْتَطَعْتُمْ [Avert ye, or defer ye, the prescribed castigations as long as ye are able]. (S, form a trad.) ― -b2- See also 5. ― -b3- دَرَأَ عَنِ البَعِيرِ الحَقَبَ is explained by Sh as meaning He pushed back the kind girth of the camel: but AM says that the correct meaning is, he spread the kind girth upon the ground, and made the camel to lie down upon it [in order that he might gird him]. (TA.) [For] دَرَأَ signifies also He spread, or laid flat, (K, TA,) a thing upon the ground. (TA.) ― -b4- دَرَأَ الشَّىْءَ بِالشَّىْءَ He supported the thing by the thing; made the. thing to be a support to the thing. (TA.) [Hence,] دَرَأَ الحَائِطَ بِبِنَآءٍ He conjoined the wall with a structure [so as to support the former by the latter]. (TA.) ― -b5- دَرَأَ بِحَجَرٍ He cast a stone; like رَدَأَ. (TA.) You say, دَرَأَهُ بِحَجَر and رَدَأَهُ بِهِ He cast a stone at him. (M in art. ردأ.) ― -b6- دَرَأَ said of a torrent, (K,) inf. n. دَرْءٌ, (TA,) (tropical:) It rushed, or poured forth with vehemence; as also ↓ اندرأ . (K.) And دَرَأَ الوَادِى بِالسَّيْلِ (assumed tropical:) The valley poured along the torrent. (TA.) [See also دَرْءٌ, below.] ― -b7- دَرَأَ, (K,) inf. n. دُرُوْءٌ, (TA,) is syn. with طَرَأَ [He came from a place, or from a distant place, unexpectedly; &c.]. (K.) And you say, دَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا فُلَانٌ, (T, S, K, * TA,) inf. n. دُرُوْءٌ (S, TA) and دَرْءٌ; (TA;) and ↓ اندرأ (S, TA) and ↓ تدرّأ ; (TA;) Such a one came, or came forth, upon us unexpectedly, (T, S, K, * TA,) or whence we knew not; as also طَرَأَ, (T,) and دَرَهَ. (IAar, TA in art. دره.) And عَلَيْهِ بِشَرٍّ ↓ اندرأ , vulg. اندرى, He came upon him suddenly with evil, or mischief. (TA.) ― -b8- Hence, i. e. from دَرَأَ signifying “ he came, or came forth, unexpectedly, ” (T, S, TA,) دَرَأَ, inf. n. دُرُوْءٌ, said of a star, meaning (tropical:) It shone, or glistened, (S, K, TA,) intensely, (S, TA,) and its light spread: (TA:) or, as some say, it rose. (T.) [Hence also,] دَرَأَتِ النَّارُ (assumed tropical:) The fire gave light, shone, was bright, or shone brightly. (Sh, K.) -A2- دَرَأَ, (T, S, K,) aor. دَرَاَ , (T,) inf. n. دُرُوْءٌ, (T, S,) He (a camel) had what is termed the غُدَّة, (S, K,) i. e. the plague, or pestilence, (طَاعُون,) of camels, (T,) and had therewith a tumour in his back, (S, K,) or in his نَحْر [or stabbing-place, in the uppermost part of the breast]: but in a female, it is in the udder: (TA:) or had a tumour in his نَحْر. (IAar, T.) The epithet applied to the male is ↓ دَارِئٌ : and so, accord. to ISk, to the female, (T, S,) meaning Attacked by the غُدَّة in her مَرَاق, (T, and so in a copy of the S,) thus, without teshdeed to the ق, signifying the part, of her throat, which is the place of passage of the water, (T, TA,) or in her مَرَاقّ [or thin and soft parts of the belly], (so in one of my copies of the S,) so that the protuberance of the غُدَّة [or pestilential tumour] is apparent: which protuberance is termed ↓ دَرْءٌ . (T, S.)
