accord. to Ibn-Buzurj, some of the Arabs say, بَشَرْتُ الأَدِيمَ,
aor. ـِ meaning I removed from the hide its بَشَرَة; and ↓ أَبْشَرْتُهُ as meaning I exposed to view its بَشَرَة that was next to the flesh; and آدَمْتُهُ I exposed to view its أَدَمَة upon which the hair grew. (
TA.) [But see أَدَمَةٌ.]
b2: Hence the saying in a
trad., مَنْ أَحَبَّ القُرْآنَ قَلْيَبْشُرْ,
accord. to him who recites it thus, with damm to the ش; meaning (assumed
tropical:) Whoso loveth the
Kur-án, let him make himself light of flesh, [by not eating more than will be sufficient, and so prepare himself] for [reading, or reciting,] it, [like as one prepares a horse for running,] because eating much causes one to forget it. (
TA.)

K;) and ↓ استبشرهُ; (
K,
TA;) are
syn.; (
S,
K, &c.;) originally signifying He announced to him an event which produced a change in his بَشَرَة [or complexion]: and hence, (El-Fakhr Er-
Rázee,) he announced to him an event which rejoiced him: (
A, El-Fakhr Er-
Rázee:) so in common acceptation [when not restricted by an adjunct that denotes its having a different meaning: see بُشْرَى and an
ex. below in this paragraph]: (El-Fakhr Er-
Rázee:) or he rejoiced him [by an annunciation]: (
Msb:) and he announced to him an event which grieved him: [or he grieved him by an annunciation:] both these significations are proper. (El-Fakhr Er-
Rázee.) You say, بشّرهُ بِالأَمْرِ [generally meaning He rejoiced him by the annunciation of the event]; and بِهِ ↓ بَشَرَهُ,
aor. and
inf. ns. as above; &c. (
TA.) And بَشَّرْتُهُ بِمَوْلُودٍ [I rejoiced him by the annunciation of a new-born child]. (

باشــر المَرْأَةَ, (
K, &c.,)
inf. n. مُـ
ـبَاشَــرَةٌ (

Mgh,
TA) and بِشَارٌ, (

TA:) he enjoyed [contact with] her skin: (
Msb:) he became in contact with her, skin to skin, both being within one garment or piece of cloth: (
K:) he lay with her, [skin to skin; or in the sense of] inivit eam: (
S,
K:)
i. q. وَطِئَهَا, both فِى الفَرْجِ and خَارِجًا مِنْهُ: (
TA:) [and so ↓ بَشَرَهَا
inf. n. بَشْرٌ; for] بَشْرٌ and مُـ
ـبَاشَــرَةٌ are
syn. [in the sense of congressus venereus, as is shown by an
ex. in the
S.]. (
S,
K.)
b2: باشــرهُ النَّعِيمُ (
tropical:) [Enjoyment attended him; as though it clave to his skin]. (
A.)
b3: فَـ
ـبَاشَــرُوا رَوْحَ اليَقِينِ, or رُوحَ اليقين, is a
metaphorical expression, [
app. meaning (
tropical:) And they felt the joy and happiness that arise from certainty,] occurring in a

S,) (
tropical:) He superintended, managed, or conducted, the affair himself, or in his own person: (
S,
K,
TA:) or (
tropical:) he was present, himself, at the affair: (
A,
TA:) or, [properly,] he managed, or conducted, the affair with his بَشَرَة, i. e., his own hand: (
Mgh, *
Msb:) and hence a later application of the verb in the sense of لَاحَظَ (assumed
tropical:) [He regarded, or attended to, the thing, or affair, &c.]. (
Msb.) 4 ابشر: see 1, first sentence, in two places.
b2: [Hence,] ابشر الأَمْرُ وَجْهَهُ The affair made his countenance beautiful and bright: in the
K we read, أَبْشَرَ الأَمْرَ حَسَّنَهُ وَ نَضَّرَهُ; but this is a mistake. (
TA.) Agreeably with this explanation,
AA renders a reading in the
Kur [xlii. 22], ذٰلِكَ الَّذِى يُبْشِرُ اللّٰهُ عِبَادَهُ, meaning That is it with which God will make beautiful and bright the face of his servants: so in the
L. (

b3: See also 2.
b4: [Hence,] أَبْشَرَتِ النَّاقَةُ (assumed

ـبَاشَــرُونَ بِذٰلِكَ الأَمْرِ They rejoice one another by the annunciation of that event. (
TA.) 10 استبشر: see 1, latter part.
A2: استبشرهُ He demanded of him a reward for an annunciation of joyful tidings. (
M.)
b2: See also 2.
بُشْرٌ: see بُشْرَى.
b2: It is also a contraction of بُشُرٌ, which is
pl. of بَشُورٌ (
TA) or بَشِيرٌ. (
TA in art. نشر.) بِشْرٌ Cheerfulness, or openness and pleasantness, of countenance: (
Mgh,
Msb,
K, *
TA:) and happiness, joy, or gladness. (
Har p. 192.) You say, هُوَ حَسَنُ البِشْرِ He is cheerful, or open and pleasant, in countenance. (
S.) بَشَرٌ: see بَشَرَةٌ
b2: [Hence,] البَشَرُ (assumed
tropical:) Mankind: (
S,
Msb,
K:) and the human being: (
Msb,
K:) applied to the male and to the female; and used alike as
sing. and
pl. (
Msb,
K,
TA) and dual: (
TA:) so that you say, هُوَ بَشَرٌ He is a human being, and هِىَ بَشَرٌ She is a human being, and هُمْ بَشَرٌ They (more than two) are human beings, and هُمَا بَشَرٌ They two are human beings: (
TA:) but sometimes it has the dual form; (
Msb,
K;) as in the
Kur xxiii. 49; (
Msb,
TA;) though the Arabs may have used the dual form in the sense of the
sing.: (
MF:) and sometimes it has a
pl., namely, أَبْشَارٌ. (
K.) This is a secondary application of the word: (
Msb:) i. e., this signification is
tropical; or, as some say, the word is so much used in this sense as to be, so used, conventionally regarded as proper; the sense not depending upon its having another word connected with it: but in the
S and
K, and by the generality of authors, this signification is given as proper. (
MF.) Some say that a human being is thus called because his بَشَرَة is bare of hair and of wool. (
MF.) [Hence,] أَبُو البَشَرِ [The father of mankind; meaning] Adam. (
K.) بَشَرَةٌ (
Lth,
S,
M,
A,
Mgh,
Msb) and ↓ بَشَرٌ, (
S,
K,) or the latter is
pl. of the former, (
Msb,
K,) [or rather a
coll. gen. n., of which the former is the
n. un.,] like قَصَبَهُ and قَصَبٌ, (
Msb,) and أَبْشَارٌ is
pl. of بَشَرٌ, (
K,) [The external skin; the cuticle, or scarf-skin; the epidermis;] the exterior of the skin (
S,
A,
Mgh,
Msb,
K) of a human being; (
S,
A,
K;) and, as some say, of other creatures, (
K,) such as the serpent; but this is generally disallowed: (
TA:) or بَشَرَةٌ signifies the exterior of the skin of the head, in which grows the hair; as also أَدَمَةٌ and شَوَاةٌ: (Aboo-Safwán:) or the upper skin (
Lth,
M) of the head (
M) and of the face and body of a human being; (
Lth,
M;) that upon which the hair grows: (
M:) or, as some say, that which is next the flesh. (
M.) It is said in a
prov., إِنَّمَا يُعَاتَبُ الأَدِيمُ ذُو البَشَرَةِ: see أَدِيمٌ.
b2: بَشَرَةٌ sometimes means The complexion, or hue: and fineness, or delicacy. (
TA.)
A2: بَشَرَةُ الأَرْضُ (

S,
A,
K.) You say, مَا أَحْسَنَ بَشَرَتَهَا (

tropical:) Leguminous plants; herbs, or herbage. (
TA.)
b2: بَشَرَةٌ is used also as signifying (assumed
tropical:) A man's hand. (
Msb.) [See 3, last sentence.]
بُشْرَى (imperfectly
decl., because it terminates with a
fem. alif which is inseparable from it,
S) and ↓ بِشَارَةٌ and ↓ بُشَارَةٌ [but respecting this last see بِشَارَةٌ below] (
S,
Msb,
K) and ↓ بُشْرٌ (
Msb) are substs. from بَشَّرَهُ (
S,
Msb,
K) [originally signifying An annunciation which produces a change in the بَشَرَة (or complexion) of the person to whom it is made: and hence, a joyful annunciation; joyful, or glad, tidings; good news]: and ↓ تَـ
ـبَاشِــيرُ [
q. v. infrà] signifies the same as بُشْرَى: (
S,
K:) ↓ بِشَارَةٌ, when used absolutely, relates only to good; (
S,
Msb;) not to evil unless when expressly restricted thereto by an adjunct: [see 2:] (
S:) its
pl. is بِشَارَاتٌ and بَشَائِرُ. (
A.) يَا بُشْرَاىَ, in the
Kur [xii. 19,
accord. to one reading, (otherwise, as
Bd mentions, بُشْرَاىْ, or بُشْرَىَّ, which is a
dial. var. of the same, or بُشْرَى, which, as some say, was the name of a man,) meaning O my joyful annunciation, or joyful tidings, or good news!], is like عَصَاى: and in the dual you say, يَا بُشْرَيَىَّ. (
S.) You say also, ↓ تَتَابَعَتِ البِشَارَاتُ and البَشَائِرُ [The joyful annunciations followed consecutively]. (
A.) See another
ex. voce بَشِيرٌ.
b2: See also بِشَارَةٌ.
بَشَرِىٌّ Human; of, or belonging to, or relating to, mankind or a human being.]

IAar,

بَشِيرٌ

S,
Mgh,
K,) [and so ↓ بَشُورٌ, as will be seen by an
ex. in what follows,] One who announces to a people [or person] an event, either good or evil; (
TA;) but meaning the former oftener than the latter: (
Msb:) [an announcer of a joyful event, or joyful events: one who rejoices another, or others, by an annunciation:]
pl. بُشَرَآءُ (A) and بُشُرٌ, (
TA in art. نشر,) or this is
pl. of ↓ بَشُورٌ. (
TA in the present art.) It is said in the
Kur [vii. 55], وَ هُوَ الَّذِى يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ بُشُرًا, and بُشْرًا, and ↓ بُشْرَى, and بَشْرًا; [
accord. to different readings, meaning (assumed
tropical:) And He it is who sendeth the winds announcing coming rain;] in which بُشُرٌ is
pl. of ↓ بَشُورٌ, [
syn. with بَشِيرٌ and مُبَشِّرٌ, but both
masc. and
fem.,] (
TA,) or of بَشِيرٌ, (
Bd,) or of بَشِيرَةٌ; (
TA in art. نشر;) and بُشْرًا is a contraction of the same; and بُشْرَى is
syn. with بِشَارَةٌ; and بَشْرًا is the
inf. n. of بَشَرَهُ in the sense of بَشَّرَهُ (
TA. [But the reading commonly followed in this passage is نُشُرًا, with ن: another reading is نُشْرًا: another, نَشْرًا: and another, نَشَرًا.]) And ↓ المُبَشِّرَاتُ, (
A,) or مُبَشِّرَاتُ الرِّيَاحِ, (
S,) signifies (
tropical:) Winds that announce [coming] rain: (
S, A:) so in the
Kur xxx. 45. (
TA.)
A2: Also Goodly; beautiful; elegant in form or features; (
S,
K;) applied to a man, and to a face: (
TA:)
fem. with ة; (
S,
K;) applied to a woman, and to a she-camel; (
S;) and meaning, when applied to a she-camel, neither emaciated nor fat: or,
accord. to Aboo-Hilál, neither of generous nor of ignoble breed: or, as some say, half-fattened: (
TA:)
pl. of the
fem. بَشَائِرُ: (
S:) and ↓ مَبْشُورَةٌ signifies beautiful in make and colour; (

K, *
TA:) or the latter, which is like the عُمَالَة of the عَامِل, has this signification; (
IAth;) and so ↓ بُشْرَى; (
M;) and بِشَارَةٌ [has the same meaning
accord. to common usage, but, properly,] is a
subst. in the sense explained above,
voce بُشْرَى. (
IAth.) You say, أَعْطَيْتُهُ ثَوْبِى بِشَارَةً I gave him my garment as a reward for the joyful annunciation. (
