Full Definition

طَهَيَانٌ The top of a mountain.
2 And A بَرَّادَة [meaning a stand, or shelf, upon which vessels of porous earth, containing water, are placed, in order that the water may become cool]. (K, TA. [In the CK, erroneously, بُرادَة: as is said in the TA, and shown by what here follows, it is with teshdeed; and it is written in my MS. copy of the K بَرَّادَة.])
3 In the saying of ElAhwal El-Kindee, فَلَيْتَ لَنَا مِنْ مَآءِ زَمْزَمَ شَرْبَةً مُبَرَّدَةً بَاتَتْ عَلَى الطَّهَيَانِ [And would that there were for us, of the water of Zemzem, a cooled draught that had passed the night upon the طَهَيَان], it has been expl. as having the former of these meaning, and as having the second thereof, and as meaning a certain mountain in El-Yemen.
