صُورٌ

Root: صور

Full Definition

صُورٌ A horn: and a horn in which one blows: so in the Kur [vi. 73, &c.], يَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ [i. e. On the day when the horn shall be blown in]: El-Kelbee says, I know not what is الصور: and it is said to be pl. of صُورَةٌ, like as بُسْرٌ is of بُسْرَةٌ; [or rather a coll. gen. n., of which صُورَةٌ is the n. un.;] i. e., [the phrase means] when the souls shall be blown into the forms of the dead: and El-Hasan read فِى الصُّوَرِ: this is related on the authority of AO; but AHeyth asserts him to have said wrong.
