1 فَرَّ, aor. ـِ 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.) b2: فَرَّ مِنْ عَدُوِهِ, aor. as above, inf. n. فَرٌّ, He wheeled about widely from his enemy, to turn again. (Msb.) b3: And فَرَّ إِلَى الشَّىْءِ He went, or betook himself, to the thing. (Msb.) b4: 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. ـُ (S, M, O,) i. e. with damm, (O,) [in copies of the K فَرِّ, 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. ـِ He examined the teeth of the beast. (Har p. 233.) b2: [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.) b3: 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. ـِ or يَفَرُّ, (accord. to different copies of the T,) He became intelligent after being weak [in mind]. (IAar, T, TA.) 3 فَارَرْتُهُ, inf. n. مُفَارَّةٌ, (tropical:) I investigated his state, or condition, he investigating mine. (TA.) 4 افرّهُ 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.) b2: Hence the saying, افرّاللّٰهُ يَدَهُ God made, or may God make, his arm, or hand, to fall off; like أَطَرَّهَا and أَتَرَّهَا. (O.) b3: 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.) 5 تَفَرَّرَ بِى i. q. ضَحِكَ [He laughed at me, derided me, or ridiculed me]; (K, TA;) mentioned by Sgh. (TA.) 6 تفارّوا They fled, one from another. (S, O, K.) 8 افترّ 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.) b2: 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.]) b3: See also فُرٌّ.

A2: Also He snuffed up a thing into his nose. (M, K.) R. Q. 1 فَرْفَرَهُ, (S, M, K, &c.,) inf. n. فَرْفَارٌ, (M,) or فِرْفَارٌ, (TA,) He put in a state of motion, commotion, or agitation; shook; or shook about; (S, M, K;) it, (S, K,) or him. (M.) One says of a horse, يُفَرْفِرُ اللِّجَامَ فِى فِيهِ He puts in a state of motion, &c., the bit in his mouth. (M. [See also an explanation of the verb as intrans., in what follows.]) b2: He broke it, i. e. a thing. (M, K.) b3: He cut it. (K.) b4: He clave, split, slit, rent, or tore, it. (TA.) [Thus] فَرْفَرَ signifies He rent, or tore, [skins such as are termed] زِقَاق [pl. of زِقٌّ], and other things; (O, K, TA;) and slit, or rent, them much. (TA. [In two copies of the T, instead of الزِّقَاقَ وَغَيْرَهَا, the reading in the O and K and TA, I find الرُقاقَ وغيره.]) b5: [He mangled it.] One says, الذِّئْبُ يُفَرْفِرُ الشَّاةَ The wolf mangles the sheep, or goat. (O, * TA.) b6: And, (O, K, TA,) hence, (O,) inf. n. فَرْفَرَةٌ, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) He defamed him, and mangled his reputation. (O, K, TA.) b7: And (assumed tropical:) He discommended it, [as though] mangling it with discommendation: the verb occurs in this sense in a trad., having for its object الدُّنْيَا [meaning the enjoyments, or good, of the present world]. (TA.) b8: Also, (inf. n. فَرْفَرَةٌ, TA,) He called or cried, or called out or cried out, to him. (M, K.) A2: فَرْفَرَ as intrans., He (a camel) put his body in a state of commotion, or agitation.

(IAar, T, TA.) b6: and He confounded, or confused, and was profuse, فِى

كَلَامِهِ [in his speaking, or talking, or his speech, or talk]. (M, K.) b7: And [app. He talked; for] الفَرْفَرَةٌ signifies الكَلَامُ [which is often used as a quasi-inf. n. of كلّم]. (M.) A3: فَرْفَرَ also signifies He made the kind of vehicle called فَرْفَار. (T, K.) b2: And He kindled [a fire] with [wood of] the species of tree called فَرفَار. (T, K.) فَرٌّ: see فَارٌّ, in two places.

(T, O.) فُرَّةٌ and ↓ أُفُرَّةٌ and ↓ أَفُرَّةٌ The beginning, or first part, of the heat: (T, S, M, O, K:) or they signify, (T, S, M,) or signify also, (O, K,) the vehemence thereof: (S, M, O, K:) but [Az says,] the second and third are in my opinion from أَفَرَ, the أ being the first radical letter: and Ks states that some change the أ into ع, saying عُفُرَّة and عَفُرَّة. (T.) شَرٍّمِنْ فُلَانٍ ↓ مَا زَالَ فُلَانٌ فِى أُفُرَّةٍ is a saying mentioned by Lth, (T, TA,) meaning [Such a one ceased not to be] in a vehement state of evil or mischief [proceeding from such a one]. (TA.) b2: Also Confusion and difficulty. (M, K.) One says, وَقَعَ القَوْمُ فِى فُرَّةٍ and ↓ أُفُرَّةٍ and ↓ أَفُرَّةٍ

نَزْوُ الفُرَارِ اسْتَجْهَلَ الفُرَارَا [The leaping of the wild calf, or with equal propriety الفرار may be here rendered the kid, excited to lightness the other wild calf, or kid]: (T, S, O, K:) A 'Obeyd says, on the authority of El-Mu- ärrij, [and so says Meyd, and the same is implied in the S and O,] that الفرار here means the young one of the wild cow: (T:) i. e., when the فرار attains to youthful vigour it takes to leaping, and when another sees it [do so] it leaps in like manner: (T, S, K:) the prov. is used in relation to him of whose companionship one should be cautious; meaning, if thou become his companion thou wilt do as he does: (T, O, K:) some relate it otherwise, saying نَزْوَ, meaning نَزَا نَزْوَ الفُرَارِ.

[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.
