Abstract

The Quranic word "MAHSUR" is used only once in the verse 29 of Surah al-Isra. Arabic lexicographers and Muslim commentators have explained that the word "MAHSUR" is formed from the root "Hsr" and has different meanings. According to these lexical and interpretative views, the translators of the Holy Qur'an have quoted different equivalents for the word.Accordingly, in the present article, after a detailed explanation of these views, we have examined and searched Semitic languages for the word and its origin.We have shown that the root "Hsr" has been used in all Semitic languages. However we have not found the word "MAHSUR" in the Semitic languages such as Aramaic, Syriac, and so on, but in Hebrew and specifically in the OLD TESTAMENT, we have found it in a similar context.In the end, based on this ETYMOLOGY, we have evaluated the equivalents of the Quranic word "MAHSUR" and then we proposed our own equivalent; "destitute" or "poor".
