And غَطِّ إِنَآءَكَ بِحَضْرَةِ الذُّبَابِ ‡ [Cover thy vessel in the presence of the flies, lest they taint it.] (A, TA.

It is also applied as a title, by writers of letters and the like, to any great man with whom people are wont to be present; [and sometimes to God; and meaning ‡ The object of resort;] as in the phrase, الحَضْرَةُ العَالِيَةُ تَأْمُرُ بِكَذَا ‡ [The exalted object of resort commands such a thing].

[So accord. to two copies of the Ṣ; where it is said, حَضْرَةُ الرَّجُلِ قُرْبُهُ وَفِنَاؤُهُ: but the right reading is evidently الرَّحْلِ: so that the second of the two meanings thus explained is, The court, or yard, in front, or extending from the sides, of a house, or an abode.])

And ‡ Apparatus for building, such as baked bricks, and gypsum-plaster: so in the saying, جَمَعَ الحَضْرَةَ يُرِيدُ بِنَآءَ دَارٍ ‡ [He collected the apparatus, such as the baked bricks, &c., desiring to build a house]. (A.)

(AA, TA.) Th says that it is a dim, distant, star; and cites this verse:

* أَرَى نَارَ لَيْلَى بَالعَقِيقِ كَأَنَّهَا *

* حَضَارِ إِذَا مَا أَعْرَضَتْ وَفُرُودُهَا *

حِضَارٌ (Ṣ, Ḳ) andحَضَارٌ↓ (Ḳ) White: (Sh, T:) or excellent and white: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) or red: (Ḳ:) but this requires consideration: (TA:) applied to camels, and to a single camel: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) or having no sing. (Ḳ.) And the former, A she-camel combining strength with excellence of pace: (El-Umawee, T, Ṣ, Ḳ:) but Sh says that he had not heard it used in this sense; and that it only signifies “white,” as applied to camels.
