Full Definition
مَحْضَرٌ
A place where people are present, or assembled. See also حَضْرَةٌ.
2 A place to which people return (مَرْجِعٌ [here a n. of place, agreeably with analogy,]) to the waters, or to the constant sources of water; contr. of مَبْدً ى: (T and S in art. بدو:) a place to which one goes (مَذْهَبٌ) in search of herbage is called مُنْتَجَعٌ; and every such place is called مَبْدً ى, of which the pl. is مَبَادٍ: watering-places (مَنَاهِل) are called مَحَاضِرُ [pl. of مَحْضَرٌ] because of the congregation and presence of men at them. [See also حَاضِرٌ, last signification.]
def.2 [People present, or assembled; an assembly: so in the present day.]
2 A people dwelling, or staying, by waters: [pl. مَحَاضِرُ:] see حَاضِرٌ.
def.3 The record of a kadee , in which his sentence is written, syn. سِجِلٌّ: or what is written when a person brings a charge against another: when the latter makes his reply, and proves it, it [the writing] is [called] تَوْفِيقٌ; and when judgment is given, سِجِلٌ. This is thought by MF to be a recent conventional term; but it has been heard from the Arabs [of the classical times], and is mentioned by ISd and others.
2 Also A signature (خَطٌّ) that is written at the end of the record of the signatures (خُطُوط) of the witnesses, in testimony of the truth of the contents of what precedes. (K. [In the CK, وَاقَعَةٍ is erroneously put for وَاقِعَةِ; and خُطُوطُ, for خُطُوطِ.]) But this is a recent conventional application.
