, aor. فَرِ3َ , inf. n. فِرَارً (T, S, M, K, &c.) and فَرٌ (M, K) and مَفَرٌ (S, M, K) and مَفِرٌ, (K,) or the last is a n. of place [and of time], (S, M,) He (a man, T) fled: (T, S:) or he turned away or aside, to elude, and fled, (M, K, TA,) from a thing that he feared. (TA.) أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ [in the Kur lxxv. 10] means Whither is the [fleeing or] turning away &c.? (M, TA:) or it may mean when is the time thereof? (TA:) and اين المَفِرُّ, another reading, where is the place of fleeing &c.? (I'Ab, Zj, S, M, TA,) as also المِفَرُّ, (Zj, K, TA,) which is an instrumental noun used as a noun of place: (K, TA:) but the first is the common reading. (TA.) فَرَّ مِنْ عَدُوِهِ, aor. as above, inf. n. فَرٌّ, He wheeled about widely from his enemy, to turn again. (Msb.) And فَرَّ إِلَى الشَّىْءِ He went, or betook himself, to the thing. (Msb.) And [hence] فَرَّتْ يَدُهُ His arm, or hand, fell off; like طَرَّتْ and تَرَّتْ. (O.) -A2- فَرَّ الفَرَسَ, (S, O,) or الدَّابَّةَ, (M, K,) aor. فَرُ3َ , (S, M, O,) i. e. with damm, (O,) [in copies of the K فَرِ3َ , but afterwards in those copies فَرُ3َ , which is the regular and correct form,] inf. n. فَرٌّ (S, M, O, K) and فُرَارٌ and فِرَارٌ and فَرَارٌ, (K,) or فُرَارٌ is a simple subst., and فِرَارٌ is an inf. n., (Meyd, in explanation of the prov. which here follows,) He looked at, or examined, the teeth of the horse, (S, O,) or he exposed to view the teeth of the beast that he might see what was its age. (M, K.) Hence, (TA,)

إِنَّ الجَوَادَ عَيْنُهُ فُرَارُهُ

(S, M, * Meyd, K, *) and فِرَارُهُ, (M, Meyd, K,) and فَرَارُهُ, (S, K,) sometimes thus pronounced with fet-h, (S,) (tropical:) [Verily the fleet and excellent horse, his aspect (see عَيْنٌ) is (equivalent to) the examination of his teeth, i. e. he is known by his aspect], is a prov., applied to him whose external state indicates his internal qualities; (Meyd, O, K;) meaning that one knows his excellence from his عَيْن [i. e. aspect] like as one knows the age of a beast by examining his teeth; (TA;) his external appearance rendering it needless for thee to test him, (S, Meyd, O, K,) and to examine (أَنْ تَفُرَّ) his teeth: (S, O, K:) and [with the same meaning] one says, فَرُّ الجَوَادِ عَيْنُهُ: (A, TA:) and [in like manner] الخَبِيثُ عَينُهُ فُرِاَرُهُ [The bad, his aspect &c.]; (Meyd, O, TA;) i. e. thou knowest his badness by his عَيْن when thou seest him. (TA.) And one says also, فَرَرْتُ فَمَ الفَرَسِ I opened the mouth of the horse that I might know his age. (Har p. 28.) And فَرَّ عَنْ أَسْنَانِ الدَّابَّةِ, aor. فَرِ3َ , He examined the teeth of the beast. (Har p. 233.) [Hence the saying of El-Hajjáj, فُرِرْتُ عَنْ ذَكَآءٍ, expl. in art. ذكو.] And [hence also] one says, فَرَّهُ عَنْ أَشْيَآءِ (tropical:) He examined him respecting things (O, * TA.) And فَرَّ الأَمْرَ, (M, TA,) and فَرَّ عَنِ الأَمْرِ, (S, M, O, K, TA,) (tropical:) He examined, looked into, scrutinized, or investigated, the affair; searched into it; inquired, or sought information, respecting it. (S, M, O, K, TA.) And فَرَّ فُلَانٌ عَمَّا فِى نَفْسِى (tropical:) Such a one interrogated me in order that he might know, from what I should say, what was in my mind. (TA.) And فُرَّ الأَمْرُ جَذَعًا (assumed tropical:) The thing returned to its first state; it recommenced. (M, O, K.) And فُرَّ الأَمْرَ جَذَعًا (assumed tropical:) Commence thou the affair from the first thereof. (M, in the TT. [But the MS. has in this case, as in that here immediately preceding, الامرُ: the right reading is evidently الامرَ; as in a similar phrase voce جَذَعٌ, q. v.]) -A3- فَرَّ, aor. يَفِرُّ or يَفَرُّ, (accord. to different copies of the T,) He became intelligent after being weak [in mind]. (IAar, T, TA.)

, inf. n. مُفَارَّةٌ, (tropical:) I investigated his state, or condition, he investigating mine. (TA.)

He, or it, made him to flee; (S, O;) or made him to turn away or aside, for the purpose of eluding, and to flee: (M, K:) or (O) he did to him a deed that made him to flee; (Fr, AO, T, M, O, K;) as also افرّبِهِ. (TA.) It is related in a trad. that the Prophet said to 'Adee the son of Hátim, مَا يُفِرُّكَ عَنِ الإِسْلَامِ إِلّا أَنْ يُقَالَ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ (T, M, O, TA) i. e. Nothing induces thee to flee from El-Islám except the saying “ There is no deity but God: ” many of the relaters say يَفُرُّكَ; but Az says that the former is the right. (TA.) Hence the saying, افرّاللّٰهُ يَدَهُ God made, or may God make, his arm, or hand, to fall off; like أَطَرَّهَا and أَتَرَّهَا. (O.) And أَفْرَرْتُ رَأْسَهُ I split, or clave, his head, with a sword; like أَفْرَيْتُهُ. (Yz, T, O, K.) -A2- أَفَرَّتْ لِلْإِثْنَآءِ, said of camels, (S, M, O, K,) and of horses, (M, K,) They shed their milk-teeth and had others come forth. (S, M, O, K.)

i. q. ضَحِكَ [He laughed at me, derided me, or ridiculed me]; (K, TA;) mentioned by Sgh. (TA.)

They fled, one from another. (S, O, K.)

He laughed in a beautiful manner, (M, K,) beyond what is termed اِنْكِلَال [inf. n. of اِنْكَلَّ, q. v.]. (M.) One says, افترَّ ضَاحِكًا He showed his teeth laughing; (S;) as also افتر عَنْ ثَغْرِهِ. (T.) It is said of the Prophet, الغَمَامِ وَ يَفْتَرُّ عَنْ مِثْلِ حَبِّ meaning And he used to smile so as to show teeth the like of hail-stones, without a reiterated, or a loud, laughing. (T.) Hence, (TA,) افترّ البَرْقُ (assumed tropical:) The lightning glistened. (M, K.) And hence the saying, الصَّرْفَهُ نَابُ الدَّهْرِ الَّذِى يَفْتَرُّ عَنْهُ [Es- Sarfeh is the dog-tooth of time, or fortune, which it shows smiling]: for when Es-Sarfeh [which is the Twelfth Mansion of the Moon] rises, [but it should be, when it sets, aurorally, for it so set, in Central Arabia, about the commencement of the era of the Flight, on the 9th of March, O. S.,] the blossoms come forth and the herbage attains its full height. (M, L. [See more in art. صرف.]) See also فُرٌّ. -A2- Also He snuffed up a thing into his nose. (M, K.)

[nor fem. form]; (T;) the sing. [and dual] and pl. [and mase. and fem.] are alike; (M;) as it is an inf. n. used as an epithet; (M, O;) and it may be a pl. [or rather a quasi-pl. n.] of فَارٌّ, (S, M, O,) like as رَكْبٌ is of رَاكِبٌ, (S, O,) and صَحْبٌ of صَاحِبٌ, (S, O, K, *) or شَرْبٌ of شَارِبٌ: (M:) it is related in the trad. respecting the Flight that Surákah Ibn-Málik, when he saw the Prophet and Aboo-Bekr fleeing to El-Medeeneh, and they passed by him, said, هٰذَانِ فَرٌّ قُرَيشٍ أَفَلَا أَرُدُّ عَلَى قُرَيْشٍ فَرَّهَا, (T, * S, * O, * TA,) meaning [These two are] the two fugitives [of Kureysh: shall I not turn back to Kureysh their fugitives?].

One says of a horse, يُفَرْفِرُ اللِّجَامَ فِى فِيهِ He puts in a state of motion, &c., the bit in his mouth. (M.

(see عُصْفُورٌ)]; and he adds that sometimes it is said that the فُرْفُور is the صِرّ [q. v.]; and some say ↓ الفِرْفِرُ, with kesr, but he says, I am not confident of its chasteness: (O:) [accord. to Ed-Demeeree, as stated by Freytag, فُرْفُرٌ is the name of a small aquatic bird like the dove or pigeon: SM says, app. relying upon the correctness of a modern application of the word,] I have seen the فُرْفُور in Egypt, and it is smaller than the إوَذّ [which is applied to the goose and sometimes to the duck].
