نَثِيرٌ, as above], (tropical:)
He [a
man]
blew his nose; ejected the mucus from his
nose; syn.
امْتَخَطَ; (IAth;) as also ↓
استنثر: (S,
K, art.
مخط:) and
he ejected what was in his
nose, of mucus, and
of that which annoyed or
hurt
him, in performing the ablution termed وُضُوْء;
(Sgh, TA;) as also ↓
أَنْثَرَ, accord. to some:
(TA:) or ↓
أَنْثَرَ signifies
he ejected what was in
his nose; or
he emitted his breath from his nose;
or
he introduced the water into his nose; as also
↓
انتثر and ↓
استنثر: (K:) but this last explanation is outweighed in authority; the form ↓
انثر
is disallowed by the leading lexicologists; and
the author of the K, in respect of this form, follows
Sgh, without due consideration: (TA:) [accord.
to the more approved opinion,)
نَثَرَ signifies
he
scattered what was in his nose by the breath; as
also ↓
انتثر and ↓
استنثر: (S:) or, as some of the
learned say,
he snuffed up water, and then ejected
what was in it, of anything annoying or
hurting,
or
of mucus; as also ↓
استنثر: (IAar, T, Mgh:)
or ↓
استنثر (T, M, IAth, K) and ↓
انتثر, (K,)
he snuffed up water, and then ejected it (T, M,
IAth, K)
by the breath of the nose: (T, M, K:)
accord. to some,
نَثَرَ and ↓
استنثر signify
he (a
person performing
وُضُوْء)
snuffed up water: but
others say that the latter signifies
he ejected what
was in his nose, of mucus &c.; agreeably with
a trad. to be cited below: (Msb:) IAar says,
that ↓
استنثر signifies
he snuffed up water, and put
in motion the نَثْرَة, or
end of the nose, in purification: (T [in the Mgh, this explanation is ascribed
to Fr:]) and Fr, that
نَثَرَ and ↓
انتثر and ↓
استنثر
signify
he put in motion the نَثْرَة, in purification.
(T.) It is said of Mohammad,
كَانَ يَسْتَنْشِقُ ثَلَاثًا
فِى كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ يَسْتَنْثِرُ [
He used to snuff up water
three times, every time ejecting it; &c.] and this
indicates that ↓
استنثر differs from
استنشق. (T,
Mgh, Msb.) And it is said in a trad.,
إِذَا
ٱسْتَنْشَقْتَ فَٱنْثُرْ, (S, Msb,) and
فَٱنْثِرْ, with the
conjunctive
ا, and with damm and kesr to the
ث,
(Msb,)
When thou snuffest up water, scatter what is
in thy nose by the breath; (S;) or
eject what is in
thy nose, of mucus, &c.: (Msb:) or, as A'Obeyd
relates it, ↓
فَأَنْثِرْ; inf. n.
إِنْثَارٌ: (Msb:) or, as
he relates it
إِذَا تَوَضَّاتَ فَأَنْثِرْ, with the disjunctive
ا; and he does not explain it; but the lexicologists do not allow ↓
أَنْثَرَ, from
الإِنْثَارُ; one only
says,
نَثَرَ and ↓
انتثر and ↓
استنثر. (T.) No
instance of ↓
استنثر used transitively has been
heard, except in a trad. of El-Hasan Ibn-'Alee,
اِسْتَنْثَرَ ↓
أَنْفَهُ [
He ejected the contents of his nose;
or
he blew his nose]; as though the root [
نَثَرَ]
were regarded in it, or as though it were made to
import the meaning of
نَقَّى. (Mgh.)
