فَجْرٌ [Daybreak; dawn;] the light of morning; (Mgh, Ḳ;) because it is a cleaving of the darkness from before the light; (Mgh;) i. e., the redness of the sun in the darkness of night; (Ḳ;) the فَجْر in the end of the night is like the شَفَق in the beginning thereof: (Ṣ, O:) it is twofold: the first is called الفَجْرُ الكَاذِبُ [the false dawn]; that which rises without extending laterally, (المُسْتَطِيلُ, Mgh, Mṣb,) which appears black, presenting itself like an obstacle (مُعْتَرِضًا) [on the horizon]: (Mṣb:) [see ذَنَبُ السِّرْحَانِ, in art. سرح:] the second is called الفَجْرُ الصَّادِقُ [the true dawn]; which is the rising and spreading [dawn], (المُسْتَطِيرُ, Mgh, Mṣb,) which appears rising, and fills the horizon with its whiteness; and this is what is called عَمُودُ الصُّبْحِ; rising after the former has disappeared; and by its rising the day commences, and everything by which fasting would be broken becomes unlawful to the faster. (Mṣb.)

Hence, The time of the فَجْر. (Mgh.)

And The prayer of that time: the prefixed noun being suppressed. (Mgh.)

الفَجْرُ and البَحْرُ [in a saying mentioned voce بَحْرٌ, the former here written الفَجَرُ, and said to be مُحَرَّكَة, but app. by mistake, for it is afterwards written الفَجْرُ,] are metonymically applied to ‡ The troubles of the present state of existence. (TA.)

فَجَرٌ † Donation; (Ḳ;) generosity; (AO, Ṣ, Ḳ;) bounty, or munificence; (Ḳ;) or large, or ample, bounty or munificence; (AO, TA;) and goodness, or beneficence. (Ḳ.)

* فَقَدْ أَجُودُ وَمَا مَالِى بِذِى فَجَرٍ *

[And verily, or often, I practise liberality, or bounty, while my property is not abundant]. (TA.)

فَجْرَةُ is a proper name, [i. e. an attributive proper name,] imperfectly decl., like بَرَّةُ; [and signifies the same as الفَجْرَةُ and فَجَارِ;] andفَجَارِ↓ is altered from فَجْرَةٌ, (IJ, TA,) or from الفَجْرَةُ, (Sb, TA,) and is a subst. in the sense of الفُجُورُ [i. e. Vice, immorality, wickedness, unrighteousness, sin, or transgression,, &c., (see 1,)] (Ṣ,) or a name for الفَجْرَةُ [which signifies the same], (O,) like قَطَامِ, (Ṣ, O,) determinate, (Ṣ,) occurring in a verse of En-Nábighah cited in the first paragraph {1} of art. حمل.

أَيَّامُ الفِجَارِ is an appellation applied to Four أَفْجِرَة; (Ḳ, TA;) the four أَفْجِرَة meaning days [i. e. conflicts] of the Arabs; the single day thereof being termed الفِجَارُ: (Ṣ, O, TA:) they took place at 'Okádh; and those engaged therein transgressed, and held to be allowable everything that should be sacred; as is said in the A: they were called فِجَارُ الرَّجُلِ and فِجَارُ المَرْأَةِ and فِجَارُ القِرْدِ and فِجَارُ البَرَّاضِ; the last, which was the greatest onslaught, being thus called in relation to El-Barrád Ibn-Keys, who slew 'Orweh Er-Rahhál: (TA:) they were between Kureysh with their associates of Kináneh on the one side and Keys-'Eylán on the other side, (Ṣ, O, Ḳ,) in the Time of Ignorance; (Ṣ, O;) and the [final] defeat befell Keys; it occurred in the sacred months; and when they fought therein, they said فَجَرْنَا; (Ṣ, O, Ḳ;) therefore Kureysh called this war فِجَار; (Ṣ, O, TA;*) فِجَارٌ, like مُفَاجَرَةٌ, being an inf. n. of فَاجَرَ, expl. above, on the authority of the R. (TA.)

(TA.) And one says يَمِينٌ فَاجِرَةٌ meaning ‡ A false oath: (Mgh in art. غمس:) a tropical phrase. (Mgh in the present art.)

فَاجِرٌ andفَجُورٌ↓, (Ḳ, TA,) the latter of which is applied to a woman as well as to a man, (TA,) andفَاجُورٌ↓, (Ḳ, TA,) which is mentioned by Ṣgh, (TA,) are all epithets from فَجَرَ, and signify [most frequently Acting vitiously, immorally, unrighteously, sinfully, or wickedly; or vitious, immoral,, &c.; transgressing, or a transgressor; quitting, or one who quits, the way of truth, or justice; forsaking, or a forsaker of, the command of God; departing, or a departer, from the right way, or from obedience; disobedient; or] launching forth, or one who launches forth, into acts of disobedience: [but the second and third are intensive epithets:] also committing adultery or fornication; or an adulterer or a fornicator: (Ḳ, TA:) and the first signifies also enchanting, or an enchanter: (Ṣgh, Ḳ, TA:) the pl. of the first is فُجَّارٌ and فَجَرَةٌ; and the pl. of the second and third is فُجُرٌ. (Ḳ, TA.) فُجَرُ↓ is altered from فَاجِرٌ, for the sake of intensiveness, and is [determinate, and] seldom used except in the vocative form of speech: you say [in addressing a number of men] يَا لَفُجَرَ [for يَا آلَ فُجَرَ, like as you say يَا لَغُدَرَ for يَا آلَ غُدَرَ, q. v.; and meaning O ye very vitious,, &c.]; occurring in a trad. of ʼÁïsheh. (TA.) Andفَجَارِ↓, (Ḳ, TA,) like قَطَامِ, (TA,) is a noun altered from الفَاجِرَةُ (Ḳ, TA) [or from فَاجِرَةُ]: you say (Ṣ, O, Ḳ) to a woman (Ṣ, O) يَا فَجَارِ (Ṣ, O, Ḳ) meaning يَا فَاجِرَةُ [O vitious woman, &c.]. (Ṣ, O.)

And فَاجِرٌ signifies also Having much wealth, or property: (Ḳ, TA:) in this sense, a possessive epithet [from فَجَرٌ, q. v.]. (TA.)

(TA.) مَفَاجِرُ الوَادِى signifies The parts, of the valley, into which the torrent disperses itself: (Ṣ, O, TA:) andفُجْرَةُ↓ الوَادِى, (Ḳ, TA,) which would seem to be with fet-ḥ [to the ف] from its not being restricted by the mention of any syll. signs, [and is so in the CK,] but is correctly with damm, (TA,) the wide part of the valley, into which the water pours.
