And خَارَاللّٰهُ لَكَ فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ [May God do good to thee, bless thee, prosper thee, or favour thee, in this affair: or] may God cause thee to have, or appoint to thee, good in this affair: (K:) or may God choose for thee the better thing [in this affair]. (A.) الّٰهُمَّ خِرْلِى occurs in a trad., meaning O God, choose for me the better of the two things. (TA.) b3: See also 8. b4: خَارَهُ عَلَى

(A.) b2: See also 1. It is said in a trad., خَيَّرَ بَيْنَ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ, meaning He preferred some among the houses of the Assistants before others of them. (TA.) And in another trad., خُيِّرَ, meaning He was preferred, and pronounced to have surpassed, or overcome, or won, in a contest, or dispute.

[with respect to form, though more commonly used than the former], (TA,) [How good is such a one!] phrases similar to مَاأَشَّرَهُ and مَا شَّرَهُ [which have the contr. meaning]. (TA.) اللَّبَنَ لِلْمَرِيضِ ↓ مَا خَيْرَ [How good is milk for the diseased!], (K, * TA,) with nasb to the ر and ن, is an expression of wonder: (K:) it was said to Khalaf El-Ahmar, by an Arab of the desert, in the presence of Aboo-Zeyd; whereupon Khalaf said to him, “What a good word, if thou hadst not defiled it by mentioning it to the [common] people! ” and Aboo-Zeyd returned to his companions, and desired them, when Khalaf ElAhmar should come, to say, all together, these words (ما خير اللبن للمريض), [in order to vex him], and they did so.

It is said in the Kur [vii. 154], وَاخْتَارَ مُوسَى قَوْمِهِ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا [And Moses chose from his people seventy men]. (TA.) وَلَقَدِ اخْتَرْنَاهُمْ عَلَى عِلْمٍ, in the Kur [xliv. 31, Verily we have chosen them with knowledge], may be indicative of God's producing good, or of his preferring them before others. (TA.) 10 استخار He sought, desired, or asked for, خِيرَة (S, Msb, K) or خِيَرَة (as in some copies of the K) [i. e. the blessing, prospering, or favour, of God; &c.].

(A.) b2: See also 8.

خَيْرٌ [Good, moral or physical; anything that is good, real or ideal, and actual or potential; and, being originally an inf. n., used as sing and pl.;] a thing that all desire; such as intelligence, for instance, and equity; (Er-Rághib, and so in some copies of the K;) [or goodness;] and excellence; and what is profitable or useful; benefit; (Er-Rághib;) contr. of شَرٌّ: (S, A, Msb:) pl. خُيُورٌ, (Msb, K,) and also, accord. to the Msb, ↓ خِيَارٌ: (TA:) [but this latter seems to be properly pl. only of خَيْرٌ used as an epithet (see below) and as a noun denoting the comparative and superlative degrees: it may however be used as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant:] خير is of two kinds: namely, absolute خير, which is what is desired in all circumstances and by every person: and what is خير [or good] to one and شرّ [or evil] to another; as, for instance, (Er-Rághib,) wealth, or property: (Zj, L in art. شد, Er-Rághib, K:) it has this last signification, namely wealth, or property, in the Kur, ii. 176 (S, TA) and ii. 274 and xxiv. 33 and xli. 49: or in the first and second of these instances it is thus called to imply the meaning of wealth, or property, that has been collected in a praiseworthy manner, or it means much wealth or property; and this is its meaning in the first of the instances mentioned above, agreeably with a trad. of 'Alee; and also in the Kur, c. 8: (TA:) [being used as a pl. (as well as a sing.), it may be also rendered good things:] and it is also used by the Arabs to signify horses; (K, * TA;) and has this meaning in the Kur, xxxviii. 31: (TA:) [it is often best rendered good fortune; prosperity; welfare; wellbeing; weal; happiness; or a good state or condition: and sometimes bounty, or beneficence.] رَجُلٌ قَلِيلُ الخَيْرِ means [A man possessing little, or no, good; possessing few, or no, good things; or poor: and in whom is little, or no, good or goodness; or niggardly: and also] a man who does little good: (TA in art. عص:) or [who does no good;] who is not near to doing good; denoting the nonexistence of good in him. (Msb in art. قل.) [Thus it sometimes means the same as رَجُلٌ لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِ A man in whom is no good or goodness; devoid of goodness; worthless.] And قِلَّةُ خَيْرٍ means Poverty: and also niggardliness. (A and TA in art. جحد.) هُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الخَيْرِ وَالخِيرِ is explained voce خِيرٌ.

عَلَىيَدَىِ الخَيْرِ وَاليُمْنِ [May it be with the aid of good fortune and prosperity] is a prayer used with respect to a marriage. (A 'Obeyd, TA.) And إِنَّكَ مَا وَخَيْرًا means مَعَ خَيْرٍ, i. e., Mayest thou meet with, or attain, good. (K.) b2: خَيْرٌ in the phrase فُلَانٌ خَيْرٌ resembles an epithet [like ↓ خَيِّرٌ, and signifies Good; or possessing good]; (Akh, S;) therefore the fem. is خَيْرَةٌ, of which the pl. is خَيْرَاتٌ, (Akh, S, Msb, *) as occurring in the Kur, lv. 70; and they do not [there] mean by it [the comparative or superlative signification of the measure] أَفْعَلُ: (Akh, S:) you say ↓ رَجُلٌ خَيِّرٌ, (S, A, Msb,) meaning [A good man; or] a man possessing خَيْر [or good]; (Msb;) and رَجُلٌ خَيْرٌ: (S:) and in like manner, ↓ اِمْرَأَةٌ خَيِّرَةٌ and خَيْرَةٌ, (S, Msb,) meaning [A good woman; or] a woman excellent in beauty and disposition: (Msb:) or خَيْرٌ and ↓ خَيِّرٌ signify possessing much خَيْر [or good], (K,) applied to a man; (TA;) and in the same sense you say ↓ رَجُلٌ خَيْرَى, and ↓ خُورَى, and ↓ خِيَرى: and the fem. of the first is خَيْرَةٌ; and of the second, ↓ خَيِّرَةٌ: (K:) and the pl. [of pauc.] (of the first, TA) is أَخْيَارٌ, and [of mult.] خِيَارٌ: (A, Msb, K:) you say also خِيَارُ المَالِ, meaning The excellent of the camels or the like: (Msb, K:) and in like manner you say of men &c.: (TA:) [see also below:] and the fem. is خَيْرَةٌ, of which the pl. is خَيْرَاتٌ: (Msb:) خِيَارٌ is contr. of أَشْرَارٌ, (S, Mgh,) [thus] used as an epithet: (Mgh:) and ↓ خَيْرَةٌ [used as a subst.] signifies anything excellent; and the pl. thereof in this sense, خَيْرَاتٌ, occurs in the Kur, ix. 89: (S:) or خَيْرٌ, (K,) or the fem. خَيْرَةٌ, (Lth,) or each, (K.) signifies excellent in beauty: (Lth, K:) and ↓ خَيِّرٌ and خَيِّرَةٌ signify excellent in righteousness (Lth, K) and religion: (K:) or there is no difference in the opinion of the lexicologists [in general] between خَيْرَةٌ and ↓ خَيِّرَةٌ: (Az:) accord. to Zj, خَيْرَاتٌ and ↓ خَيِّرَاتٌ, both occurring in different readings of the Kur, lv. 70, signify good in dispositions: accord. to Khálid Ibn-Jembeh, خَيْرَةٌ, applied to a woman, signifies generous in race, exalted in rank or quality or reputation, goodly in face, good in disposition, possessing much wealth, who, if she bring forth, brings forth a generous child: (TA:) [↓ خِيَارٌ is also applied as an epithet to a sing. subst., either masc. or fem.:] you say جَمَلٌ خِيَارٌ and نَاقَةٌ خِيَارٌ, meaning A he-camel [that is excellent or] excellent and brisk and so a she-camel. (TA.) See also مُخْتَارٌ, in three places. In the saying لَعَمَرُ أَبِيكَ الخَيْرُ, the word خَيْر is in the nom. case as an epithet of عَمْر; [so that the phrase lit. means By the good life of thy father;] but properly it should be لَعَمْرُ أَبِيكَ الخَيْرِ [By the life of thy good father]: and the like is said with شَرّ. (TA.) [See also art. عمر.]

b3: خَيْرٌ is also used to denote superiority: one says, هٰذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ هٰذَا This is better than this: and in the dial. of the Benoo-'Ámir, ↓ هٰذَا أَخْيَرُ مِنْ هٰذَا, with أ, and in like manner, أَشَّرُ; but the rest of the Arabs drop the أ in each case: (Msb:) you say, مِنْكَ ↓ هُوَ أَخْيَرُ [He is better than thou], and in like manner, أَشَّرُ مِنْكَ; and هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ, and in like manner, شَرٌّ مِنْكَ; and, [using the dim. form of خَيْرٌ,] مِنْكَ ↓ خُيَيْرٌ, and in like manner, شُرَيْرٌ مِنْكَ. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) Youalso say, when you mean to express the signification of superiority, فُلَانَةٌ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ [Such a woman is the best of mankind]; but not خَيْرَةُ: [see, however, what will be found cited hereafter from the K,] and فُلَانٌ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ [Such a man is the best of mankind]; but not ↓ أَخْيَرُ [unless in the dial. of the Benoo-'Ámir]: and [it is said that] خَيْرُ when thus used does not assume the dual form nor the pl., because it has the signification of [the measure] أَفْعَلُ: for though a poet uses the dual form, he uses it as a contraction of the dual of خَيِّرٌ, like مَيْتٌ and مَيِّتٌ, and هَيْنٌ and هَيِّنٌ: (S:) [but. this remark in the S is incorrect: for both خَيْر and ↓ أَخْيَر, when used in such phrases as those to which J here refers, have pl. forms of frequent occurrence, and of which examples will be found below; and, as is said by I 'Ak (p. 239), and by many other grammarians, you may say, الزَّيْدَانِ أَفْضَلَا القَوْمِ, and الزَّيْدُونَ أَفْضَلُو القَوْمِ and أَفَاضِلُ القَوْمِ, and also هِنْدُ فُضْلَىالنِّسَآءِ, &c.; and such concordance is found in the Kur, vi. 123; and is even said by many to be more chaste than the mode prescribed by J:] it is said in the K, that you say, ↓ هُوَ أَخْيَرُ مِنْكَ, like خَيْرُ; and when you mean the signification of superiority, you say فُلَانٌ خَيْرَةٌ النَّاسِ, with ة, and فُلَانَةُ خَيْرُهُمْ, without ة: but [SM says,] I know not how this is; for in the S is said what is different from this, and in like manner by Z in several places in the Ksh; and what is most strange is, that the author of the K quotes in the B the passage of J [from the S], and adopts the opinion of the leading authorities [as given in the S]: (TA:) or you say, فُلَانَةُ الخَيْرَةُ مِنَ المَرْأَتَيْنِ [Such a woman is the better of the two women]: and هِىَ الخَيْرَةُ, and ↓ الخِيرَةُ, [so in the TA, but in the CK الخِيَرَةُ,] and ↓ الخِيرَى, and ↓ الخُورَى, [the last being fem. of أَخْيَرُ, originally خُيْرَى, and so, app., the last but one, She is the better, or best:] (K:) and [using the dim. form of خَيْرٌ] you say, أَهْلِهِ ↓ هُوَ خُيَيْرُ [He is the best of his family]: (Ibn-Buzurj, TA:) one says also, to one coming from a journey, خَيْرَ مَا رُدَّ فِى أَهْلٍ

وَمَالٍ, meaning May God make that with which thou comest [back] to be the best of what is brought back by the absent with family and property; (As, Meyd, TA;) or, as some relate it, خَيْرُ, i. e. رَدُّكَ خَيْرُ رَدٍّ [may thy bringing back be the best bringing back]; and فى is used in the sense of مَعَ: (Meyd:) [أَخْيَارٌ is pl. of pauc., and خِيَارٌ pl. of mult., and so app. is خِيرَانٌ, of خَيْرٌ thus used; and ↓ أَخَايِرُ is pl. of أَخْيَرُ, and so is أَخْيَرُونَ applied to rational beings: in the TA, أَخَايِرُ is said to be a pl. pl. of أَخْيَرُ, and so خِيرَانٌ; but this is app. a mistake, probably of transcription:] you say رَجُلٌ مِنْ خِيَارِ النَّاسِ and أَخْيَارِهِمْ and ↓ أَخَايِرِهِمْ [A man of the best of mankind]: (A, TA:) and لَكَ خِيَارُ هٰذِهِ الإِبِلِ, and ↓ خِيرَتُهَا, [Thine are, or is, or shall be, the best of these camels,] alike with respect to a sing. and a pl.: (TA:) and إِبِلِهِ ↓ نَحَرَ خِيرَةَ and إِبِلِهِ ↓ خُورَةَ [He slaughtered the best of his camels]: (IAar, TA:) and ↓ هُمُ الأَخْيَرُونَ [They (meaning men) are the better, or best]. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) A2: مَا خَيْرَ for مَا أَخْيَرَ: see 4, in two places.

A3: خَيْرُ بَوَّآءُ [from the Persian خِيرْبُوَا Lesser cardamom;] a kind of small grain, resembling the قَاقُلَّة [or common cardamom], (K,) of sweet odour. (TA.) خِيرٌ Generousness; generosity; (S, A, Msb, K;) liberality; munificence. (Msb.) You say, فُلَانٌ ذُو خِيرٍ Such a one is a possessor of generousness, or generosity, &c. (Msb.) And هُوَ مِنْ وَالخِيرِ ↓ أَهْلِ الخَيْرِ [He is of the people of good, or of wealth, &c., and of generosity]. (A.) b2: Eminence; elevated state or condition; nobility. (IAar, K.) b3: Origin.

خَيْرَةٌ fem. of خَيْرٌ [q. v.] used as an epithet: pl. خَيْرَاتٌ. (Akh, S, Msb.) b2: [Also, used as a subst., or as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant, A good thing, of any kind: a good quality; an excellency: and a good act or action: &c.: pl. as above:] see خَيْرٌ, in the former half of the paragraph.

خِيرَةٌ: see خَيْرٌ, in three places, towards the end of the paragraph: b2: and see خِيَرَةٌ, in four places: b3: and خِيَارٌ. b4: It is also a subst. from خَارَاللّٰهُ لَكَ فِىهٰذَاالأَمْرِ, (S,) and so ↓ خِيَرَةٌ; both signifying [The blessing, prospering, or favour, of God; his causing one to have, or appointing to one, good in an affair: or his choosing for one the better thing in an affair: or] the state that results to him who begs God to cause him to have good, or to choose for him the better thing, in an affair. (TA.) You say, كَانَ ذٰلِكَ خِيرَةً مِنَ اللّٰهِ [That was through God's blessing, prospering, or favour; &c.: or through God's choosing the better thing in the affair]. (A.) خِيَرَةٌ and ↓ خِيرَةٌ (of which the former is the better known, TA) are substs. from اِخْتَارَهُ, (K,) or from اِخْتَارَهُ اللّٰهُ, (S,) both signifying A thing, man, or beast, and things, &c, that one chooses: (TA:) or [a thing, &c.,] chosen, selected, or elected: (Mgh:) as in the saying, مُحَمَّدُ خِيَرَةُ اللّٰهِ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ and ↓ خِيرَتُهُ [Mohammad is the chosen, or elect, of God, from his creatures]: (S, Mgh: *) or ↓ خِيرَةٌ is a subst. from الاِخْتِيَارٌ, like فِدْيَةٌ from الاِفْتِدَآءُ; and خِيَرَةٌ is syn. with خِيَارٌ and اِخْتِيَارٌ; or is from تَخَيَّرْتُ الشَّىْءَ: or, as some say, خِيرَةٌ and خِيَرَةٌ are syn.: (Msb:) see 8; and see also خِيَارٌ: and ↓ هٰذِهِ خِيرَتِى (Msb, TA) or خِيَرَتِى (TA) means This is what I choose; (Msb, (TA;) and so هٰذَا خيرتى: and هٰؤُلَآءِ خيرتى

(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

[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.
