1 Zahara * , (S, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. Zahara , (Msb,) inf. n. ZuhuwrN , (S, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.,) [ It was, or became, outward, exterior, external, extrinsic, or exoteric: and hence,] it appeared; became apparent, overt, open, perceptible or perceived, manifest, plain, or evident; (S, Mgh, Msb, K, TA;) after having been concealed, or latent: (Msb, TA:) and ↓ tZAhr signifies the same. (Har p. 85.) Hence the phrase Zahara liY raA^oYN (assumed tropical:) [ An idea, or opinion, occurred to me ], said when one knows what he did not know before. (Msb.) [And h`*aA maA yaZoharu liY (assumed tropical:) This is what appears to me to be the case, or to be the right way or course; or this is my opinion. ] Zahara AlHamolu , inf. n. as above, means Pregnancy became apparent, or manifest: it is said that this is not the case in less than three months. (Msb.) And it is said in a trad. of 'Áïsheh, kaAna yuSal~iY AlEaSora fiY HujoratiY qabola A^ano taZohara i. e. [ He used to perform the prayer of the afternoon in my chamber ] before it (meaning the sun) became high and apparent: (TA:) or waAl$~amosu fiY HujoratiY lamo taZoharo baEodu i. e. [ when the sun was in my chamber, ] it not having risen high so as to be on the flat roof [thereof]: referring to the Prophet. (O. [But AlEaSora must be a mistranscription for Alfajora , i. e. the prayer of the dawn. ]) The saying in the Kur [xxiv. 31], walaA yubodiyna ziynatahun~a A_il~aA maA Zahara minohaA [which is app. best rendered And that they discover not their ornature except what is external thereof ] has been expl. in seven different ways, most correctly as meaning the clothes: (O, TA:) accord. to 'Áïsheh, it means the bracelet ( Alqulob ) and the ring ( Alfataxap ): and accord. to I'Ab, the hand and the signet-ring and the face. (TA.) ― -b2- Also He went forth, or out, (Mgh, TA,) to the outside of a place. (O, TA.) ― -b3- And He (a bird) migrated, or went down, from one country or region to another: used in this sense by AHn in relation to the vulture, migrating to Nejd. (L.) ― -b4- Zahara Eanohu , said of a vice, or fault, (O, TA,) or a disgrace, (JK, A, O,) (tropical:) It did not cleave to him; (A, O, TA;) it was remote from him; (TA;) it quitted him, or departed from him. (JK.) ― -b5- Zaharotu bihi , (O, TA,) inf. n. ZahorN , (K,) (assumed tropical:) I gloried, or boasted, by reason of it. (O, K * TA.) [Respecting a meaning assigned to Zahara bifulaAnK in the K, see 4.] ― -b6- A^akala Alr~ajulu A^ukolapF Zahara minohaA ZahorapF means (assumed tropical:) [ The man ate some food ] in consequence of which ] he became fat. (TA.) -A2- Zaharahu He mounted it; went, or got, upon it, or upon the top of it; (S, A, * Mgh, O, Msb, K;) as also Zahara Ealayohi ; (O;) namely, a house, (S,) or a house-top, (A, Mgh, O,) and a mountain, (A,) and a wall; (O, Msb;) properly, he became upon its back: (Mgh:) and [in like manner] one says, fulaAnN najodFA ↓ Zah~ara , inf. n. taZohiyrN , Such a one mounted, or went up, upon the high region ( Zahor ) of Nejd. (O.) ― -b2- Hence, (Mgh, Msb,) Zahara Ealayohi (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K) and bihi , (K,) inf. n. ZuhuwrN (Bd in xxiv. 31) and ZahorN also, (Ham p. 301,) He overcame, conquered, subdued, overpowered, or mastered, him; gained the mastery or victory, or prevailed, over him; (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K;) namely, his enemy; (Msb;) and in like manner, [ he conquered, won, achieved, or attained, it, i. e.] a thing. (O, TA.) [The saying fulaAnN laA yaZoharu Ealayohi A^aHadN is expl. in the L and TA by the words AY lA yasolam , and said to be tropical: but Ibr D thinks that the correct reading is lA yusal~imu , from Alt~asoliymu ; and that it is said of one who will not give up, or resign, what is in his hand; so that the meaning is, (tropical:) Such a one is a person whom no one will overcome in respect of that which he holds in his possession. ] ― -b3- And [hence also] Zahara Ealayohi , (Msb, TA,) inf. n. ZuhuwrN , (TA,) He knew, became acquainted with, or got knowledge of, him, or it. (M
