So in the Kur, lxxv. 22, وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَيأِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ (assumed tropical:) Faces on that day shall be beautiful and bright: (Bd, Jel:) or shining by reason of enjoyment, or of a beautiful and pleasant and easy state of existence. (Fr.) [These epithets have also other, similar, significations, shown by explanations of نَضُرَ and its variations.] نَاضِرٌ is coupled with غَضٌّ, as an epithet applied to a boy, (A,) and so ↓ نَضِيرٌ; (TA,) and نَاضرَةٌ with غَضَّةٌ, applied to a girl, (A,) and so نَضِيرَةٌ; (TA;) and thus used are tropical.
