The triliteral root ḥā wāw rā (ح و ر) occurs in the Quran 13 times.

(61:14) O you who acknowledge, be God's supporters, as Jesus the son of Mary said to his disciples (Arab. لِلْحَوَارِيِّينَ, lil'ḥawāriyyīna): "Who are my supporters towards God?" The disciples (Arab. الْحَوَارِيُّونَ, l-ḥawāriyūna) said, "We are God's supporters." Thus, a group from the Children of Israel acknowledged, and another group rejected. So, We supported those who acknowledged against their enemy, and they were successful.

(3:52) So when Jesus felt their rejection, he said, "Who are my supporters towards God?" The disciples (Arab. الْحَوَارِيُّونَ, l-ḥawāriyūna) said, "We are God's supporters, we acknowledge God and we bear witness that we have peacefully surrendered."
