*aroEN * , in its primary acceptation, has the signification explained in the first sentence of this article. (S, TA.) ― -b2- [Hence, it is used in the sense of] (tropical:) Power, or ability; as also ↓ *iraAEN ; (TA;) or a man's reach, or extent of power or ability. (Msb.) And hence the phrases, DaAqa biAlA^amori *aroEuhu , and ↓ *iraAEuhu , (K,) and DaAqa biAlA^amori *aroEFA , (S, Msb, K,) in which the last word is in the accus. case as an explicative, for the original form of the phrase is that first mentioned, (TA,) and sometimes they said ↓ *iraAEFA , (S, TA,) (tropical:) He was unable to do, or accomplish, the thing, or affair; as though meaning, he stretched forth his arm to it and it did not reach it; (S, TA; *) or these phrases are thus used because he who is short in the fore arm will not reach that which he who is long therein reaches, nor will the power of the former equal that of the latter; therefore they are proverbially applied to him whose power falls short of the attainment, or accomplishment, of an affair: (TA:) or he lacked strength, or power, or ability, to do, or accomplish, the thing, or affair, and found not any way of escape from what was disagreeable therein: (K:) or he was unable to bear, or endure, or undertake, the thing, or affair.

And A^aboTarotu fulaAnFA *aroEhu (tropical:) I imposed upon such a one more than he was able to do: (S, TA:) but *aroEN also signifies (assumed tropical:) the body: and [accord. to IAar] A^abaTaraniY *aroEiY means (tropical:) He wasted my body, and cut off my means of subsistence. (TA.) [See also art. bTr .] You likewise say, rajulN ↓ raHobu Al*~iraAEi [and Al*~aroEi ] (tropical:) A man having ample strength, and power, and might in war or fight, courage, valour, or prowess.

(KL.) ― -b3- And hence, fulaAnN xaAliY Al*~aroEi (tropical:) Such a one has his heart devoid of anxieties, or solicitudes, and griefs; because the heart is sometimes one of the seats of power: or it may mean, agreeably with the original signification of *aroEN , such a one is free from the causes of occupation which require the stretching forth of the fore arm and extending of the hand.
