نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ , (S, M, A, Msb, K,) and
نَظَرَهُ, (M,
A, Msb, K,) aor.
نَظُرَ , (M, A, &c.,) and
أَنْطُورٌ is
substituted for
أَنْظُرُ in the dial. of certain Arabs,
(IDrd, TS, K,) or, accord. to Lb, in the Bughyetel-Ámál, the
و is here added only [by poetic
license,] to make the sound of the dammeh full,
agreeably with other instances; (TA;) and
نَظِرَ إِلَيْهِ, and
نَظِرَهُ, aor.
نَظَرَ , (A, K,) the verb being
like
سَمِعَ accord. to the correct copies of the K,
[and so in the A,] but in one copy of the K, like
ضَرَبَ; (TA;) inf. n.
نَظَرٌ, (S, M, A, Msb, K,)
and
نَظْرٌ is allowable, as a contraction of the
former, (Lth,) and
نَظَرَانٌ (S, K,) and
مَنْظَرٌ (M,
A, K) and
مَنْظَرَةٌ and
تَنْظارٌ, (M, K,) [which last
is an intensive form;
He looked at, or
towards,
in order to see, him, or
it;]
he considered, or
viewed, him or
it with his eye; (S, A, K;)
with
the sight of the eye; (Msb;) [i. e.
looked at him
or
it;] as also ↓
تنظّرهُ: (K:) and ↓
انتظرهُ signifies the same as
تنظّرهُ and
نَظَرَهُ [but app. in
another sense, to be mentioned below, and not in
the sense explained above, though the latter is
implied in the TA; and the same may be meant
when it is said that ↓
تنظّر is syn. with
نَظَرَ, if this
assertion, which I find in the M, have been copied
without consideration, and be not confirmed by
an example]: (TA:) or
نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ signifies
he
extended, or
stretched, or
raised, [or
directed,]
his
sight towards him or
it, whether he saw him or
did not see him. (TA.) The usage of
النَّظَرٌ as
relating to the sight is most common with the
vulgar, but not with persons of distinction, who use
it more in another sense, to be explained below.
(TA.) You say,
نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ نَظْرَةً حُلْوَةً [
He looked
at him, or
towards him, with one sweet look.]
(A.) And
نَظَرَ فِى المِنْظَارِ [
He looked in the
mirror]. (A.) And
نَظَرَ فِى الكِتَابِ [
He looked
into, or
inspected, the writing or
book], (A, Msb,)
which is for
نَظَرَ المَكْتُوبَ فِى الكِتَابِ [
he looked
at what was written in the writing or
book], or
has a different meaning to be explained below.
(Msb.) And
هُوَ يَنْظُرُ حَوْلَهُ [lit.,
He looks around
him; meaning,]
he looks much. (A.) [See also
نَظَرٌ below.] ―

بِعَيْنَيْنِ, (A,) (tropical:)
The earth,
or
land, showed (A, Sgh, K)
to the eye (Sgh, K)
its plants or
herbage. (A, Sgh, K.) ―
2-b3-
نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ
(tropical:)
It looked towards, meaning
faced, him or
it.
So in the Kur, [vii. 197,]
وَتَرَاهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَهُمْ
لَا يُبْصِرُونَ (tropical:)
Thou seest them look towards thee,
i. e.,
face thee, but they see not; referring to idols,
accord. to A'Obeyd. (TA.) And you say,
دَارِى يَنْظُرُ إِلَى دَارِ فُلَانٍ (tropical:)
My house faces the house
of such a one. (S.) And
نَظَرَ إِلَيْكَ الجَبَلُ (tropical:)
The
mountain faced thee: (A:) as in the following ex.:
إِذَا أَخَذْتَ فِى طَرِيقِ كَذَا فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْكَ الجَبَلُ فَخُذْ
عَنْ يَمِينِهِ أَوْيَسَارِهِ (tropical:) [
When thou takest such a
road, and the mountain faces thee, then take thou
the way by the right of it or
the left of it.] (S.)
―
2-b4- [Hence, perhaps,]
نَظَرَ الدَّهْرُ إِلَى بَنِى فُلَانٍ
فَأَهْلَكَهُمْ [app. meaning, (assumed tropical:)
Fortune opposed the
sons of such a one and destroyed them]: (S [immediately following there the ex. which immediately
precedes it here:]) or
نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمُ الدَّهْرُ signifies
(tropical:)
Fortune destroyed them: (M, A:) but (says
ISd) I am not certain of this. (M.) ―
2-b5-
النَّظَرُ
also signifies (assumed tropical:)
The turning the mind in various
directions in order to perceive a thing [mentally],
and
the seeing a thing: and sometimes it means
(assumed tropical:)
the considering and investigating: [and as a
subst.,
speculation, or
intellectual examination:]
and sometimes, (assumed tropical:)
the knowledge that results from
[
speculation or]
investigation. (El-Basáïr.) It
is mostly used as relating to the intellect by
persons of distinction; and as relating to the
sight, most commonly by the vulgar. (TA.)
[It is said that] when you say
نَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ, it
means only [
I looked at, or
towards, him or it]
with the eye: but when you say
نَظَرْتُ فِى الأَمْرِ,
it may mean [(assumed tropical:)
I looked into, inspected, examined,
or
investigated, the thing or
affair]
by thought
and consideration, intellectually, or
with the mind:
(TA:) [this remark, however, is not altogether
correct, as may be seen from what follows: the
truth seems to be, that
نَظَرَهُ and
نَظَرَإِلَيْهِ may be
used in the latter of these two senses, though
نَظَرَ فِيهِ is most common in this sense.] It is said
in the Kur, [x. 101,]
قُلِ ٱنْظُرُوا مَا ذَا فِى السَّمٰوَاتِ
(assumed tropical:)
Say, Consider ye what is in the heavens. (TA.)
And you say,
نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ He saw it, and (assumed tropical:)
thought
upon it, and endeavoured to understand it, or
to
know its result. (TA.) [And
He looked to it,
or
at it, or
examined it, intellectually; regarded
it; had a view to it.] And
نَظَرَ فِيهِ (assumed tropical:)
He considered it: (TA:) or
thought upon it; namely a
writing or book; or when such is the object it
may have another meaning, explained before;
and an affair: and with this is held to accord the
saying
وَفِيهِ نَظَرٌ, q. v. infrà, voce
نَظَرٌ: (Msb:)
and (tropical:)
he though upon it, measuring it, or
comparing it. (M, K, TK. In the M and K, only
the inf. n.,
نَظَرَ فِى أَمْوَالِ الأَيْتَامِ, of the verb in this sense is mentioned.) And
فَنَطَرَ نَظْرَةً فِى النُّجُومِ (assumed tropical:)
He considered, or
examined, [or
estimated,]
the possessions
of the orphans, in order to know them. (Msb.)
And similar to this is the phrase [in the Kur,
xxxvii. 86,]
النَّظَرُ, meaning, (assumed tropical:)
And
he examined the science of the stars: (Msb:) [or
he took a mental view of the stars, as if to divine
from them.]
الاِعْتِبَارُ when used unrestrictedly by
those who treat of scholastic theology means
الاِعْتِبَارُ [(assumed tropical:)
The thinking upon a thing, and endeavouring to understand it, or
to know its result;
or
judging of what is hidden from what is apparent; or
reasoning from analogy]. (MF.)

me;]
seek thou for me such a one. (A, TA.) ―
2-b9-
أُنْظُرْنِى (assumed tropical:)
Listen thou to me. (M, K, TA [in the
CK, erroneously,
أُنْطِرْنِى.]) The verb [says
ISd] has this meaning in the Kur, ii. 98. (M.)
―
2-b10-
أَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى ٱللّٰهِ ثُمَّ إِلَيْكَ [lit.,
I look to God,
then to thee; meaning,] (tropical:)

God, then for thy bounty. (A.) ―
2-b11-
نَظَرَ ٱللّٰهُ إِلَيْهِ
(tropical:)
God chose him, and compassionated him, pitied
him, or
regarded him with mercy; because looking
at another is indicative of love, and not doing so

God bestowed
benefits upon him; poured blessings, or
favours,
upon him: (El-Basáïr:) and
نَظَرَ لَهُمْ (tropical:)
he compassionated them, and aided them; (Sgh, K;)
and simply,
he aided them: (K, * TA:) and
نَظَرَ لَهُ
(assumed tropical:)

that which he
(another)
wanted. (Msb.) ＝
1-A2-

with ↓
إِتْنَظَرَهُ, q. v. ―

أَنْظَرَهُ, q. v.
―
2-b3- Also
نَظَرَهُ, (K, TA,) inf. n.
نَظْرٌ; (TA;) or
↓
نَظَّرَهُ; (so in a copy of the M, and in the CK;
but from the mention of the inf. n. in the TA, the
former seems to be the right reading;)
He sold
it (a thing, M)
with postponement of the payment;
he sold it upon credit. (M, * K, * TA.) See also
4. ―
2-b4- [In these last three acceptations, accord. to
the A, the verb is used properly, not tropically.] ＝
