2 دبّر الأَمْرَ ذ , (T, M, A,) or فِى الأَمْرِ (S,) inf. n. تَدْبِيرٌ, (T, S, K,) He considered, or forecast, the issues, or results, of the affair, or event, or case; (TA;) and so ↓ تدبّرهُ : (Mgh:) or its end, issue, or result; (T, M, K;) as also ↓ تدبّرهُ : (T, M, Msb, K:) or he looked to what would, or might, be its result: and فِيهِتدبّر he thought, or meditated, upon it; (S;) [as also ↓ تدبّرهُ :] Aktham Ibn-Seyfee said to his sons, أَعْجَازَيَابَنِىَّ لَا تَتَدَبَّرُوا أُمُورٍ قَدْ وَلَّتْ صُدُورُهَا [O my sons, think not upon the ends of things whereof the beginnings have passed]: (T: [see عَجُزٌ:]) and in the Kur [iv. 84] it is said, القُرْآنَأَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ Will they, then, not consider the meanings of the Kur-án, and endeavour to obtain a clear knowledge of what is in it? (Bd:) and again, in the Kur [xxiii. 70], القَوْلَأَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا Have they, then, not thought upon, (TA,) and endeavoured to understand, (يَتَفَهَّمُوا, K,) what has been said to them in the Kur-án? for ↓ تَدَبُّرٌ signifies the thinking, or meditating, upon [a thing], and endeavouring to understand [it]; syn. تَفَكُّرٌ and تَفَهُّمٌ: (TA:) and ↓ تدبّرهُ he looked into it, considered it, examined it, or studied it, repeatedly, in order to know it, or until he knew it. (Msb in art. امل.) دبّر أَمْرًا, inf. n. as above, signifies [also] He did, performed, or executed, a thing, or an affair, with thought, or consideration. (Msb.) [And He devised, planned, or plotted, a thing, عَلَى غَيْرِهِ against another. And hence, He managed, conducted, ordered, or regulated, an affair; because the doing so requires consideration of the issues, or results, of the affair. You say, دبّر أُمُورَ البِلَادِ, and, elliptically, دبّر البِلَادَ, He managed, conducted, ordered, or regulated, the affairs of the provinces, or country: and in like manner, the affairs of a house. تَدْبِيرٌ is also attributed to irrational animals; as, for ex., to horses; meaning their conducting the affair of victory: and to inanimate things; as, for ex., to stars; meaning their regulating the alternations of seasons &c.: see Bd in lxxix. 5. And دبّر alone signifies He acted with consideration of the issues, or results, of affairs, or events, or cases; acted with, or exercised, forecast, or forethought; or acted with policy.] ― -b2- دبّر عَبْدَهُ, (M, Msb,) inf. n. as above, (T, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) He made his slave to be free after his own death, (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) saying to him, Thou art free after my death: (T, TA:) he made the emancipation of his slave to depend upon his own death. (TA.) ― -b3- دبّر الحَدِيثَ, (inf. n. as above, K,) He related the tradition, narrative, or story, having received it, or heard it, from another person: (As, T, S, K: *) and هُوَ يُدَبِّرُ حَدِيثَ فُلَانٍ He relates the tradition, &c., of, or received from, or heard from, such a one: (As, S:) and دبّر الحَدِيثَ عَنْهُ; (M;) or عَنْهُدَبَرَهُ , (S, K,) aor. دَبُخَ ; (TA;) He related the tradition, &c., having received it, or heard it, from him, (S, M, K,) after his death: (S, K:) Sh says that دبّر الحَدِيثَ is unknown; but so the phrase is related on the authority of A'Obeyd: Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà [i. e. Th] disallows يُدَبِّرُهُ as meaning he relates it; and says that it is يَذْبُرُهُ, with ذ, meaning “he knows it, or learns it, well, soundly, or thoroughly;” syn. يُتْقِنُهُ. (T.)
