قارأهُ

, (O, K.) verbal noun مُقَارَأَةٌ and قِرَاءٌ, (K,) He read, or studied, with him, each of them teaching the other. (O, K.)

It is said of the [ch. of the Qur'an entitled] سُورَةُ الأَحْزَاب, as Ibn-Háshim related that tradition, إِنْ كَانَتْ لَتُقَارِيءُ سُورَةَ البَقَرَةِ هِىَ أَطْوَلُ i. e. [Verily (إِنْ being here a contraction of إِنَّ as in the Qur'an, 17:75 and 78 &c.)] it was equal as to the time required to read it, or to recite it, to [that which is entitled] the سورة of the بقرة [or it was longer]: but most related it as commencing with the words ان كانت لَتُوَازِى.
