5 tTh~r * , inf. n. taTah~urN , is sometimes changed into AiT~ah~ara , inf. n. AiT~ah~urN , the t being incorporated into the T , and this requiring a conjunctive A , (Sgh, K,) in order that the word may not begin with a quiescent letter: (Sgh:) and TahuwrN is also an inf. n. [or rather a quasi-inf. n.] (Sb, K) of taTah~ara , (Mgh, TA,) like as waDuwo'N is [said to be] of tawaD~aA^a . (TA.) The meaning is, [ He became cleansed, or purified: or he cleansed, or purified, himself: and] he washed himself. (Mgh.) You say, tTh~r biAlmaA='i [ He cleansed, or purified, or washed, himself with water ]: (S:) he performed the ablution termed AlwuDuwo' : and that termed AlAisotinojaA=' ; (A;) as also tTh~r alone, as used in the Kur ix. 109: (Mgh, TA:) and the same verb, alone, is expl. as signifying he made use of water, or what supplied its place; thus used in the Kur v. 9. (TA.) In the Kur vii. 80 and xxvii. 57, the verb is used derisively. (TA.) You say also, tTh~rt , (Mgh, Msb, K,) and AiT~ah~arato , (Mgh,) meaning, She cleansed, or purified, herself by washing, from [ the pollution of ] the menstrual discharge, (Mgh, Msb, K,) &c. ; (K;) as also ↓ Taharato and Tahurato ; (Msb, * K;) agreeably with what is said in the B, that Tahara and Tahura and AT~h~r and tTh~r have the same signification: (TA:) or tTh~rt and AT~h~rt have this signification; but the unaugmented verb has the signification first assigned to it, or “ her discharge of blood stopped: ” (Abu-l-'Abbás, IAar:) in the Kur ii. 222, some read Hat~aY yaTohurona ; and others, Hat~aY yaT~ah~arona : but the latter reading is the preferable, on account of the difference between the two forms of the verb, just mentioned: (Abu-l-'Abbás:) or the law which allows not the touching a woman until she has performed the ablution mentioned above shows the two forms of the verb to be the same in signification. (TA.) ― -b2- Also (tropical:) He removed himself far from unclean things, or impurities. (S, Mgh, K. *) ― -b3- (tropical:) He refrained from sin, (K, TA,) and from what was not good: (TA:) he removed himself far from low, or ignoble, habits: and in this sense, accord. to some, it is used in the Kur vii. 80 and xxvii. 57. (TA.) And tTh~r mina AlA_ivomi (tropical:) He removed himself far from sin. (A.)
