JK. [in the
TA, citing the last explanation from the

Kur, [xciii. 10,] وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ [And as for the beggar, thou shalt not chide him, or address him with rough speech]. And in a
trad., مَنِ انْتَهَرَ صَاحِبَ بِدْعَةٍ مَلَأَ اللّٰهُ قَلْبَهُ أَمْنًا وِإِيمَانًا وَأَمَّنَهُ اللّٰهُ مِنَ الفَزَعِ الْأَكْبَر [Whoso chideth, or checketh with rough speech, the author of an innovation in religion, God will fill his heart with security and faith, and God will preserve him from the greatest terror].

S.) نَهْرٌ and ↓ نَهَرٌ (
S,
A,
Mgh,
Msb,
K) A channel in which water runs: (
A,
K:) so most say: or the water itself [that runs therein; i. e., a river; a rivulet; a brook; a canal of running water]: (
TA:) or a wide channel in which water runs: originally, the water [that runs therein]: (
Mgh:) or properly, wide running water: and by a secondary application, which is
tropical. (
tropical:) the trench or channel [in which it runs]: (
Msb,
TA *:)
pl. [of pauc.] أَنْهُرٌ, (
Msb,
K,) a
pl. of the former, (
Msb,) and أَنْهَارٌ, (
S,
Msb,
K,) a
pl. of the latter, (
Msb,) [but used as a
pl. of either, both of pauc. and of mult. and the most common of all the pls.,] and نُهُرٌ, (
Msb, and so in some copies of the
K,) with two dammehs, a
pl. of the former, (
Msb,) or نُهْرٌ, (as in some copies of the
K and in the
TA,) and نُهُورٌ, (
IAar,
K.) You say, جَرَى النَّهْرُ [The river ran, or flowed]; like as you say, جَرَى المِيزَابُ. (
Msb.) And نَهْرٌ كَثِير المَآءِ [A channel of running water having much water]. (
A.) And ↓ نَهَرٌ is also used in a
pl. sense: as in the
Kur, [liv. 54], فِى جَنَّاتٍ وَنَهَرٍ [In gardens and among rivers], i. e., أَنْهَارِ; like the phrase in the
Kur, (same chap. verse 45,] وَيُوَلُّونَ الدُّبْرَ, (
Fr,
S.) meaning الأَدْبَارَ, (
Fr,
TA:) but it is otherwise explained. (
S.) See نَهَرٌ below.
نَهَرٌ: see نَهْرٌ, in two places.
A2: Amplitude: (
K:) or light and amplitude: so,
accord. to some, in the
Kur, liv. 54, differently explained above: see نَهْرٌ, (
S,
TA.) or,
accord. to
Th, نَهَر is a
pl. [or rather quasi
pl.] of نُهُرٌ, which is a
pl. of نهَارٌ. (
TA.) نَهِرٌ Much, (
TA;) as also ↓ نَهيرٌ; (
K,
TA;) both applied to water. (
TA.)
b2: A wide نَهْر [or river, or channel in which water runs]. (
K.)
A2: رَخُلٌ نَهِرٌ A man of day-time;
syn. صَاحِبُ نَهَارٍ; (
S,
K;) who makes inroads or incursions into the territories of enemies therein: (
S:) or who works therein: (
A:) a kind of rel.
n.; as is shown by the ex.
لَسْتُ بِلَيْلِىٍّ وَلٰكِنِّى نهِرٌ لَا أُدْلِجُ اللَّيْلَ وَلٰكِنْ أَبْتَكِرْ [I am not one of the night-time, but I am one of the day-time; I do not journey in the night, but I go forth early in the morning]: as though he said ↓ نَهَارِىّ. (
Sb.) The verse is correctly related as above; not as it is given in the
S. (
IB.)
b2: See also أَنْهَرُ.
نَهَارٌ Day; or day-time;
contr. of لَيْلٌ: (
S,
TA:) or broad daylight, (
Mgh,) from sunrise to sunset: (
Mgh,
Msb,
K:) this is the original signification: (
TA;) or this is the signification in the vulgar conventional language: but in the classical language it signifies the time from the rising of the dawn to sunset: (
Msb:) or the light between the rising of the dawn and sunset: (
K:) and so
accord. to the lawyers: (
TA:) in the trads., it is the whiteness of the نهار, and the blackness of the ليل; and there is nothing intervening between the ليل and the نهار: but sometimes the Arabs amplified, and applied نهار to the time from the clear shining of the dawn to the setting [of the sun]: (
Msb.) or (so
accord. to the
TA. but in some copies of the
K, and the spreading of the light [which is a cause] of sight and its dispersion: (
K:) in this explanation in the
L, in the place of وَافْتِرَاقُهُ we find وَاجْتِمَاعُهُ [and its collecting together]: (
TA:) it is also
syn. with يَوْمٌ; and is so when used without restriction in the non-fundamental sciences of religion, (الفُرُوع,) as in the phrases صُمْ نَهَارًا [fast thou a day] and إِعْمَلْ نَهَارًا [work thou a day]: and it may be so used, or in its proper classical sense, when prefixed to يَوْم, governing the latter in the
gen. case: (
Msb:) it has no proper dual, (
Mgh,
Msb,) and no proper
pl., (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K, (like عَذَابٌ and سَرَابٌ; (
S,
K;) the former of which, however, has a
pl. assigned to it [by
Zj and] in the
K, namely, أَعْذِبَةٌ; (
MF;) [and respecting the latter see شَرَابٌ, with ش;] [for] نهار is a name applied to every يَوْم [or day]; and لَيْلٌ, to every لَيْلَة [or night]: one does not say نَهَارٌ وَنَهَارَانِ, nor لَيْلٌ وَلَيْلَانِ: but the
sing. of نهار is يَوْمٌ (
TA.) and the dual, يَوْمَانِ, (
Msb,
TA:) and the
pl., أَيَّامٌ. (
Msb:) and the
contr. of يوْمٌ is لَيْلَةٌ, so says
Az, on the authority of AH(??) (
TA:) or it has pls.: namely, أَنْهُرٌ, (
IAar,
S,
K,) a
pl. of pauc., (
S,) in some lexicons أَنْهِرَةٌ, (
TA,) also a
pl. of pauc.,] and نُهُرٌ, (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K,) a
pl. of mult. (
S) [See also نَهَرٌ.] Ibn-Keys(??) cites the following
ex.,
لَوْلَا الثَّرِيدَان لَمُتْنَا بِالضُّمُرْ
ثَرِيدُ لَيْلٍ وَثرِيدٌ بِالنَّهُرْ [Were it not for the two thereeds (or messes of crumbled bread moistened with broth), we had died of leanness: the thereed of night, and thereed in the day-times]. (
S.) نَهِيرٌ: see نَهِرٌ.
نَهَارِىٌّ: see نَهِرٌ.
b2: Food that is eaten in the beginning of the day. (
TA.) نَهَارٌ أَنْهَرُ, and ↓ نَهرٌ, [A bright day:] in each of these phrases the
epithet has an intensive effect, (
K, *
TA,) as the
epithet in لَيْلٌ أَلْيَلُ. (
TA.) مَنْهَرٌ The place of a river. (
T,
TA.)
b2: A place which the water hollows out in a نَهْر [or channel of a river]. (
K.)
b3: A cleft, (
K,
TA,) or hole, (
TA,) in a fortress, passing through [the wall], whence water runs. (
K,
TA,) or by which water enters: (
TA:)
pl. مَنَاهِرُ. (
TA.)
