(TA, from a trad.) You say, ابرّ عَلَى خَصْمِهِ [He overcame his adversary]. (A.) And ابرّ عَلَيْهِمْ شَرًّا [He overcame them in evil]: and hence ابرّ is used in the sense of فَجَرَ [he transgressed, &c.]; as in the saying of a poet, “ فَلَسْتُ أُبَالِى مَنْ أَبَرَّ وَ مَنْ فَجَرْ
” [Then I care not who acts wickedly and who transgresses]. (IAar, M.) -A4- ابرّ [from بَرٌّ] He rode, or journeyed, upon the land. (ISk, S, A, K.) Opposed to أَبْحَرَ. (A.)
