Full Definition

بَرْهَنَQ., or, as some say, Q. Q., 1. He adduced, or established, the بُرْهَان, i. e. the evidence or proof [&c.]; or he adduced his evidence or proof [&c.]; عَلَيْهِ [against him, or it, or (as in اِسْتَدَلَّ عَلَيْهِ) of it], and لَهُ [to him, or for him]: but this verb is said by Az and Z, on the authority of IAar, to be post-classical; the correct word, they say, being أَبْرَهَ: this they assert on the ground of the opinion that بُرْهَانٌ [q. v.] is of the measure فُعْلَانٌ; but J holds the ن to be a radical.
