3 قَارَّهُ ذ , inf. n. مُقَارَّةٌ, He settled, became fixed or established or motionless or quiet or still or at rest, rested, remained, or continued, with him. (S, K.) You say أَنَا لَا أُقَارُّكَ عَلَى مَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ I will not settle, &c., with thee in the state in which thou art. (TA.) And hence the saying of Ibn-Mes'ood, قَارُّوا الصَّلَاةَ, (S, * K,) from القَرَارُ, not from الوَقَارُ, (S,) meaning, Be ye still, without motion, and without play, during prayer. (TA.)
