طِنْخٌ ذ [is said to signify] A part, or portion, of the night: so in the saying, مَرَّ طِنْخٌ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ [ A part, or portion, of the night passed ]: (K:) but IDrd doubted its correctness. (TA.)

طَنِخٌ ذ A man whose heart [or stomach ] is overpowered by grease [or greasy food ], and who suffers indigestion in consequence thereof; as also ↓ طَانِخٌ. (L.) [See also 1, of which each is a part. n.]

طَنَخَةٌ ذ ; expl. in the K [and in the JK, app. from the 'Eyn,] as syn. with أَحْمَقُ, is a mistranscription, correctly طيخة [i. e. طَيْخَةٌ]. (TA.)

(A, * Msb, K. *) طهارة is of two kinds; [properly] corporeal and [tropically] spiritual. (TA.) ― -b2- And طَهَرَتْ, (M, Mgh, K,) or طَهَرَتْ مِنَ الحَيْضِ, aor. طَهُرَ ; (Msb;) and طَهُرَتْ, (M, Msb, K,) which is allowable, (IAar,) but of rare occurrence, (Msb,) and طَهِرَتْ, [which is of more rare occurrence;] (M, El-Isnawee;) inf. n. طُهْرٌ and طَهَارَةٌ and طُهُورٌ and طَهُورٌ; (TA;) She was, or became, pure from the menstrual discharge; (Mgh;) her discharge of blood stopped.

(TA.)

4 أَطْهَرَ see 2, first sentence.

5 تطهّر ذ , inf. n. تَطَهُّرٌ, is sometimes changed into اِطَّهَّرَ, inf. n. اِطَّهُّرٌ, the ت being incorporated into the ط, and this requiring a conjunctive ا, (Sgh, K,) in order that the word may not begin with a quiescent letter: (Sgh:) and طَهُورٌ is also an inf. n. [or rather a quasi-inf. n.] (Sb, K) of تَطَهَّرَ, (Mgh, TA,) like as وَضُوْءٌ is [said to be] of تَوَضَّأَ. (TA.) The meaning is, [ He became cleansed, or purified: or he cleansed, or purified, himself: and] he washed himself. (Mgh.) You say, تطهّر بِالمَاآءِ [ He cleansed, or purified, or washed, himself with water ]: (S:) he performed the ablution termed الوُضُوْء: and that termed الاِسْتِنْجَاآء; (A;) as also تطهّر alone, as used in the Kur ix. 109: (Mgh, TA:) and the same verb, alone, is expl. as signifying he made use of water, or what supplied its place; thus used in the Kur v. 9. (TA.) In the Kur vii. 80 and xxvii. 57, the verb is used derisively. (TA.) You say also, تطهّرت, (Mgh, Msb, K,) and اِطَّهَّرَتْ, (Mgh,) meaning, She cleansed, or purified, herself by washing, from [ the pollution of ] the menstrual discharge, (Mgh, Msb, K,) &c. ; (K;) as also ↓ طَهَرَتْ and طَهُرَتْ; (Msb, * K;) agreeably with what is said in the B, that طَهَرَ and طَهُرَ and اطّهّر and تطهّر have the same signification: (TA:) or تطهّرت and اطّهّرت have this signification; but the unaugmented verb has the signification first assigned to it, or “ her discharge of blood stopped: ” (Abu-l-'Abbás, IAar:) in the Kur ii. 222, some read حَتَّى يَطْهُرْنَ; and others, حَتَّى يَطَّهَّرْنَ: but the latter reading is the preferable, on account of the difference between the two forms of the verb, just mentioned: (Abu-l-'Abbás:) or the law which allows not the touching a woman until she has performed the ablution mentioned above shows the two forms of the verb to be the same in signification. (TA.) ― -b2- Also (tropical:) He removed himself far from unclean things, or impurities. (S, Mgh, K. *) ― -b3- (tropical:) He refrained from sin, (K, TA,) and from what was not good: (TA:) he removed himself far from low, or ignoble, habits: and in this sense, accord. to some, it is used in the Kur vii. 80 and xxvii. 57. (TA.) And تطهّر مِنَ الاـِثْمِ (tropical:) He removed himself far from sin. (A.)

طُهْرٌ ذ [see 1: ― -b2- ] Cleanness; freedom from dirt or filth; or pureness. (S, * Msb.) ― -b3- The state of pureness from the menstrual discharge: (S, A, Mgh, Msb:) pl. أَطْهَارٌ. (A, Msb.) And the pl. signifies The days of a woman's state of pureness from the menstrual discharge. (K.)

طَهِرٌ ذ : see طَاهِرٌ, in three places.

طُهْرَةٌ ذ a subst. from التَّطْهِيرُ [and signifying A cleansing, or purification: and in this sense it was applied by the Christians to baptism]: (Mgh:) or from طَهَّرَهُ بِالمَاآءِ [and signifying a cleansing, or purification, by water ]: (K:) or cleanness, or pureness. (TK.)

طَهُورٌ ذ inf. n. of 1; as also طُهُورٌ: (TA:) and inf. n. [or rather quasi-inf. n.] of 5. (Sb, Mgh, TA.) ― -b2- A thing [such as water] with which one cleanses or purifies: (T, S, Mgh, Msb, K:) a word similar to فَطُورٌ and سَحُورٌ and وَقُودٌ: (S:) and the author of the “ Matáli' el-Anwár ” mentions طُهُورٌ also in this sense; but this is strange and anomalous: (En-Nawawee:) the former occurs in the Kur xxv. 50: (S:) or it signifies water with which the ablution termed وُضُوْء is performed: (A, IAth:) or it has the signification next following. (K.) It is said, التَّوْبَةُ طَهُورٌ لِلْمُذْنِبِ (tropical:) [ Repentance is a means of purifying the sinner, or criminal ]. (A.) Lth says that it is that which is [accompanied] by the execution of the prescribed punishment, such as stoning &c. (TA.) [See also مَطْهَرَةٌ.] -A2- It is also an epithet, (Mgh, TA,) and signifies Clean and cleansing, or pure and purifying: (Th, T, Mgh, Msb:) whatever God has created descending from the sky, or welling forth from the earth as a spring or river or sea, in which a human being does nothing but drawing water, and of which the colour is not changed by anything mixing with it, nor the taste thereby, is طَهُور: and what is otherwise, as the water of roses and of the leaves of trees, and what flows from the grape-vine, though it be طَاهِر, is not طَهُور: (Esh-Sháfi'ee:) the former removes impurities: the latter, if not at the same time طَهُور, does not: (TA:) or very clean or pure: (A, Msb:) the explanation by Th, if meant to show that the word signifies of the utmost cleanness or pureness, is correct and good: otherwise, it is not so; for فَعُولٌ is not formed from تَفْعِيلٌ: (Mgh, O:) it is also explained as signifying, simply, cleansing, or purifying: (B, TA:) also as syn. with طَاهِرٌ, as in the phrase رِيقُهُنَّ طَهُورٌ [ their saliva is pure ]: but here it is either an intensive epithet or used for طَاهِرٌ for the sake of the measure. (Msb.)

طَهِيرٌ ذ : see طَاهِرٌ, in two places.

طَهَارَةٌ ذ [see 1. ― -b2- ] The act of performing the ablution termed الغُسْل, and that termed الوُضُوْء, and that termed الاِسْتِنْجَاآء. (Msb, TA.)

(of طَاهِرٌ, TA) أَطْهَارٌ (K) and طَهَارَى, (S, K,) which latter is anomalous, as though its sing. were طَهْرَانُ, (S,) and, applied to men, طَاهِرُونَ: (TA:) and (of ↓ طَهِرٌ, TA) طَهِرُونَ; (K;) the only form; there being no broken pl.: (TA:) and of طَاهِرَةٌ, طَاهِرَاتٌ (TA) and طَوَاهِرُ. (A.) You say, رَجُلٌ طَاهِرٌ and ↓ طَهِيرٌ [ A clean, or pure, man ]. (O.) And اِمْرَأَةٌ طَاهِرَةٌ مِنَ النَّجَاسَةِ [ A woman pure from dirt or filth ]. (S.) And مَاآءٌ طَاهِرٌ Clean, or pure, water: and also, fit to cleanse or purify with. (Msb.) And ثِيَابٌ طَهَارَى [ Clean clothes ]. (S.) [See also طَهُورٌ.] ― -b2- Pure from the menstrual discharge; in this sense without ة: (IAar:) as also طَاهِرٌ مِنَ الحَيْضِ. (S, Msb.) ― -b3- هُوَ طَاهِرُ العِرْضِ (assumed tropical:) He is clear from vice, or fault. (Msb.) اِمْرَأَةٌ طَاهِرَةٌ مِنَ العُيُوبِ (assumed tropical:) [ A woman pure from vices, or the like ].

(TA.)

أَطْهَرُ ذ [ More, and most, clean or pure ]. ― -b2- [Hence,] هُنَّ أَطْهَرُ لَكُمْ [Kur xi. 80] (assumed tropical:) They are more lawful to you. (O, TA.)

مَطْهَرَةٌ ذ and مِطْهَرَةٌ, (S, A, K, &c.,) the former of which is the more approved, (S,) A vessel, (A, K,) or any vessel, (Mgh, Msb,) [ for purification, i. e.,] with which one washes himself, (A, Mgh, Msb, K,) and performs the ablution termed وُضُوْء, such as a سَطْل, or رَكْوَة: (TA:) and (A, Mgh, Msb, K) i. q. اـِدَاوَةٌ [ a kind of leathern vessel for water ]: (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K:) pl. مَطَاهِرُ. (S, Msb.) Hence, [or from مَطْهَرَةٌ as signifying, agreeably with analogy, A means of cleansing or purifying, ] the saying, (Msb,) السِّوَاكُ مَطْهَرَةٌ لِلْفَمِ [ The tooth-stick is a means of purifying to the mouth ].
