Full Definition
ظَاهِرَةٌ
as a subst.; and its pl. ظَوَاهِرُ: see ظَهْرٌ, in four places, in the third quarter of the paragraph. [Hence,] قُرَيْشُ الظَّوَاهِرِ
Those, of Kureysh, that dwell in the exterior of Mekkeh, upon the mountains thereof, or upon the higher parts of Mekkeh: those who dwell in the lower parts are called قُرَيْشُ البِطَاحِ; and these are the more honourable, because they are neighbours of the House of God.
2 See also ظِهَارَةٌ.
def.2 And see ظَهِيرٌ.
def.3 Also The coming of camels, and of sheep or goats, to the water every day, at noon. One says, of camels, [and of sheep or goats,] تَرِدُ الظَّاهِرَةَ [They come to the water every day, at noon]: and Sh says that they return from the water at the عَصْر. And شَرِبَ الفَرَسُ ظَاهِرَةً The horse drank every day, at noon. ظَاهِرَةُ الغِبِّ [The coming to the water at noon on alternate days] is for sheep or goats; scarcely ever, or never, for camels; and is a little shorter [in the interval] than what is called [simply] الغِبُّ.
