Form: 1

Full Definition

مَطَرَتِI , Present.T ـُ Verbal.Noun مَطَرٌ, [The sky, or, as it sometimes means, the rain,] rained; as also : but the former is said to relate to that which is sent in mercy, and the latter to that which is sent in punishment. See also what follows.
2 [Both are also trans. You say,] مَطَرَتْهُمُ السَّمَآءُ, Present.T ـُ Verbal.Noun مَطْرٌ and مَطَرٌ; and , which latter is the worse form, [as will be seen below,] The sky rained upon them. And مُطِرْنَا We were rained upon; we had rain.
3 You say also, مَطَرَهُمْ خَيْرٌ, and شَرٌّ, [Good, and evil, poured upon them; or betided them]. And مَطَرَنِى بِخَيْرٍ He did good to me. And مَا مَطَرَنِى بِخَيْرٍ [He did not any good to me]. And مَا مُطِرَ مِنْهُ خَيْرًا, [in the CK, incorrectly, خَيْرٌ,] and بِخَيْرٍ, Good did not betide him from him, or it. But أَمْطَرَهُمُ is only said in relation to punishment: as in the saying in the Kur, [xxvi. 173, and xxvii. 59,] عَلَيْهِمْ مَطَرًا فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلْمُنْذَرِينَ [And we rained upon them a rain, and evil was the rain of the warned people]: and again in the Kur, [xv. 74,] عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ [And we rained upon them stones of baked clay]: the stones being regarded as rain because of their descent from the sky: some, however, hold that مَطَرَ and are the same in meaning.
