Full Definition

أَمِهَI , Present.T ـَ Verbal.Noun أَمَهٌ, He forgot. Hence the reading of I'Ab, [in the Kur xii. 45,] وَادَّكَرَ بَعْدَ أَمَهٍ [And he remembered, or became reminded, after forgetting]. AHeyth is said to have read بَعْدَ أَمْهٍ; and accord. to AO, أَمْهٌ signifies نِسْيَانٌ [like أَمَهٌ]; but this is not correct.
2 He confessed, or acknowledged: occurring in this sense in a trad. of Ez-Zuhree; but not well known. The reading of I'Ab, mentioned above, بَعْدَ أَمَهٍ, is explained by A'Obeyd as meaning after confessing, or acknowledging.
