حَشَرَ, aor. ـُ {يَحْشُرُ} and ـِ {يَحْشِرُ}, (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) the former of which aors. is found in the seven readings of the Ḳur, (Mṣb,) inf. n. حَشْرٌ, (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) He congregated, or collected together, (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) men: (Ṣ, Mṣb:) or he congregated them, or collected them together, and drove them: (Mṣb, TA:) he made them to go forth, collected together, from one place to another: (Bḍ in lix. 2:) he, or it, compelled them to emigrate: (Ḳ,* TA: [in the CK الخَلَآءُ is put by mistake for الجَلَاءُ, the explanation of the inf. n.:]) and [simply] he drove towards a place or quarter. (TA.) Hence يَوْمُ الحَشْرِ ‡ [The day of congregation,, &c.; meaning] the day of resurrection: (Ṣ,* TA:) [see also مَحْشِرٌ:] and سُورَةُ الحَشْرِ ‡ [The Chapter of the Compulsion to emigration; which is the fifty-ninth chapter of the Kur-an]. (TA.) It is said by most of the expositors of the Ḳur that the wild animals and other beasts, and even the flies, will be collected together (تُحْشَرُ) for retaliation; and they cite a trad. on this subject. (TA.) So in the Ḳur [lxxxi. 5], وَإِذَا الوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ And when the wild animals shall be collected together, (Bḍ, Jel,) from every quarter, (Bḍ,) after resurrection; (Jel;) or raised to life, (Bḍ,) for the purpose of their retaliating, one upon another; after which they shall return to dust: (Bḍ, Jel:) or the meaning is, shall die, (Az, Ṣ,) in the present world; accord. to some: (Az:) and thus says ʼIkrimeh, (Ṣ, TA,) on the authority of I’Ab, (TA,) as is related by Saʼeed Ibn-Masrook: (Ṣ, TA:) but accord. to some, the two meanings are nearly the same; for each denotes collection. (TA.) حَشْرٌ also signifies The going forth with a people fleeing or hastening or dispersing themselves in war; when used absolutely. (TA.)
