(TA.) أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ [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. , (S, M, O,) i. e. with damm, (O,) [in copies of the K , but afterwards in those copies , 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. , 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.

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. يَفِرُّ or يَفَرُّ, (accord. to different copies of the T,) He became intelligent after being weak [in mind].

(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 ٱللّٰهُ (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, افرّٱللّٰهُ يَدَهُ God made, or may God make, his arm, or hand, to fall off; like أَطَرَّهَا and أَتَرَّهَا.

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 ٱلَّذِى 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.)

[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, الذِّيأْبُ يُفَرْفِرُ الشَّاةَ The wolf mangles the sheep, or goat.
