(MF.) [But it is often immediately trans. without its denoting such effort.] One says, بادرهُ He hastened to do it [&c., as explained above]; meaning, a thing that he desired, or wished for: (TA:) [and بادربِهِ signifies the same; or he hastened with it: and the former signifies also he betook himself early to him or it:] and بادر إِِلَيْهِ he hastened to it; (S, A;) as also اليه ↓ بَدَرَ , (S, Mgh, Msb,) aor. بَدُرَ , (S,) inf. n. بُدُورٌ: (S, Msb:) or, accord. to Zj, agreeably with its derivation, [see بَدْرٌ,] he employed the fulness of his power, or force, to hasten [to it]: (TA:) and الأَمْرٌ ↓ بَدَرَهُ , and ↓ بَدَرَ إِِلَيْهِ, (aor. بَدُرَ , inf. n. بَدْرٌ, TA, [or بُدُورٌ, as above,]) the thing, or event, came to him, or happened to him, hastily, quickly, or speedily; and, beforehand [or before he expected it]; syn. عَجِلَ, (M, K,) and سَبَقَ, (M,) or اِسْتَبَقَ: (K:) [and مِنْهُ قَوْلٌ ↓ بَدَرَ , and فِعْلٌ, a saying, and an action, proceeded from him hastily, without premeditation: see بَادِرَةٌ.] It is said in a trad., بَادِرُوا بِالْأَعْمَالِ هَرَمًا [Strive ye to be before decrepitude with good works; i. e., to perform them before decrepitude]. (El-Jámi' es- Sagheer.) And in another, بَادِرُوا الصُّبْحَ بِالْوِتْرِ [Strive ye to be before daybreak with the prayers termed وتر; i. e., to perform them before daybreak]. (Idem.)
