نَشَرٌ ذ is of the measure فَعَلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, (Msb, TA,) syn. with مَنْشُورٌ, like as قَبَضٌ is with مَقْبُوضٌ, (Mgh,) and syn. with مُنْتَشِرٌ, (S, Msb, K,) [therefore signifying Spread, expanded, or unfolded: scattered, or dispersed, &c.: and spreading, or being spread, &c.: being scattered, &c.:] and a thing that one has spread, expanded, or unfolded: &c. (O, voce سَبَلٌ, q. v.) ― -b2- You say اِكْتَسَى البَازِى رِيشًا نَشَرًا The hawk, or falcon, became clad in spreading and long feathers. (S, TA.) ― -b3- And hence نَشَرٌ is applied to People in a scattered, or dispersed, state, not collected under one head, or chief; (Msb, K;) as also ↓ نَشْرٌ: (K:) and to sheep or goats in a scattered, or dispersed, state, after having been confined in their nightly resting-place: (Msb:) or sheep or goats, and camels, in a scattered, or dispersed, state, through the negligence of their pastor. (TA.) You say, رَأَيْتُ القَوْمَ نَشَرًا I saw the people in a scattered, or dispersed, state. (S.) And جَاآءَ القَوْمُ نَشَرًا The people came in a scattered, or dispersed, state. (TA.) ― -b4- Hence also, نَشَرُ المَاآء What is sprinkled, of water, (Mgh, TA,) in the performance of the ablution termed الوُضُوْء. (TA.) It is said in a trad., أَتَمْلِكُ نَشَرَ المَاآءِ [ Dost thou possess what is sprinkled of water? ] (S;) or مَنْ يَمْلِكُ نَشَرَ المَاآءِ [ Who possesseth what is sprinkled of water? ] (Mgh;) [app. meaning, that it is gone and cannot be recovered.] ― -b5- And hence, أَللّٰهُمَّ ا@ضْمُمْ نَشَرِى (assumed tropical:) O God, compose what is discomposed, or disorganized, of my affairs: (K, * TA:) a phrase like لُمَّ شَعَثِى. (TA.) 'Áïsheh says, in a trad., describing her father, فَرَدَّ نَشَرَ الاـِسْلَامِ عَلَى غَرِّهِ, meaning, (assumed tropical:) And he restored what was discomposed, or disorganized, [lit., what was unfolded,] of El-Islám, to its state in which it was in the time of the Apostle of God, [lit. to its fold, or plait;] alluding to cases of apostacy, and her father's sufficiency to treat them. (TA.) -A2- See also نَاشِرٌ.
