muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُ·ـُيَفْعُلُmaṣdarجَهْرٌ جَهَارَةٌ جَهَرٌ إِجْهَارٌ

Core sense — it became plain or public; he spoke it aloud; he cleared out a wellgenerated

1.1

maṣdar جَهْرٌ and جِهَارٌ.

It (a thing) was, or became, plain, apparent, conspicuous, open, or public; synonymous with ظَهَرَ, بَدَا, and عَلَنَ.

Er-Rāghib: the basic meaning is that a thing became very plain to be perceived, either by sight or by hearing.

[Some say that when it relates to what is visible it is figurative, and when it relates to what is audible it is proper; but if so, it seems to be used so much in the first way that in that sense it is conventionally regarded as proper. See also جَهْرَةٌ.]

1.2he (a man) was, or became, great, or bulky, before the eyes of the beholderجَهُرَ

maṣdar, apparently, جَهَارَةٌ and جُهُورَةٌ.

[And therefore a conspicuous object.]

[And he was, or became, pleasing, or goodly, in appearance: see جَهَارَةٌ below.]

1.2.1

Also, with: it (the voice) rose [so as to be plainly heard]; was, or became, high, or loud.

1.2.2

Also, with: he (a man) was, or became, high, or loud, of voice.

1.3he (a man) was unable to see in the sunجِبِر

Said in the same way of the eye.

.

1.4he made it plain, apparent, open, or publicجَهَرَهُ

Maṣdar جَهْرٌ, جَهَرَ بِهِ, اجهرهُ, [اجهر بِهِ,] and جَهْوَرَهُ.

1.4.1he uttered it with a plain, or an open, voice; openly; publiclyجَهَرَ الكَلَامَ

Also جَهَرَبِهِ and اجهرهُ, with maṣdar إِجْهَارٌ, اجهر بِهِ, جَهْوَرَ, جَهَرَ بِالقَوْلِ, بِدُعَائِهِ, بِصَلَاتِهِ, and بِقِرَآءَتِهِ, maṣdar جَهْرٌ, جِهَارٌ, and اجهر بقرءآته.

Said of the speech, the saying, his supplication, his prayer, and his recitation.

Or جَهَرَ بِكَلَامِهِ, بِالقَوْلِ, جَهْوَرَ, and بِقِرَآءَتِهِ: he uttered his speech, the saying, and his recitation with a raised, or loud, voice; aloud.

And جَهَرَ الصَّوْتَ: he raised the voice [so as to make it plainly heard].

1.4.2he made known the acts of disobedience he had committed, by talking of themجَهَرَ بِالمَعَاصِى

Also اجهر and جاهر.

One who does so is called مُجَاهِرٌ بِالمُعَاصِى, or simply مُجَاهِرٌ.

He saw him (a man) with no veil between them; also اجتهرهُ. Or he looked towards him, or regarded him.

Synonymous with تَأْخُذُهُ.

the people looked towards such a one with no veil between them and himاجتهر القَوْمُ فُلَانًا
1.4.5he was pleased with his beauty and his form, or state of dressاستجرهُ

He treated him, or regarded him, with reverence, respect, or honour; or he regarded him as great in his eyes; he saw him to be great in appearance; also اجتهرهُ.

Also اجتهرهُ.

Or he pleased him by his beauty and form; or it pleased him by its beauty; also اجتهرهُ.

1.4.6

He saw it (an army, and a people) to be numerous in his eyes; also اجتهرهُ.

1.5he cleared out the well and took out the black fetid mud in itجَهَرَ البِئْرَ

.

Also اجترها; or both mean he emptied the well entirely, or nearly, of its water; or the first means he reached the water of the well in digging, or so جَهَرَ alone.

Akh: جَهَرْتُ الرَّكِيَّةَ means I cleared out the mud that the water covered in the well, so that the water appeared and became clear.

he cleared out the filled-up wells of abundant water so that the water welled forthاجتهر دُفُنَ الرَّوَآءِ

ʿĀʾisheh said this in describing her father; the words are literal, and allude to his setting right affairs that had become disordered.

At the time called الصَّبَاح.

Synonymous with أَسْدَرَتْ عَيْنَهُ.

13:10

Say: "Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman: by whatever name ye call upon Him, (it is well): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Neither speak thy Prayer aloud, nor speak it in a low tone, but seek a middle course between."

20:7
وَإِن تَجْهَرْ بِٱلْقَوْلِ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلسِّرَّ وَأَخْفَى

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَرْفَعُوٓا۟ أَصْوَٰتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ ٱلنَّبِىِّ وَلَا تَجْهَرُوا۟ لَهُۥ بِٱلْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَن تَحْبَطَ أَعْمَـٰلُكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ

O ye who believe! Raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor speak aloud to him in talk, as ye may speak aloud to one another, lest your deeds become vain and ye perceive not.

67:13
وَأَسِرُّوا۟ قَوْلَكُمْ أَوِ ٱجْهَرُوا۟ بِهِۦٓ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ

Nounجَهْرَةٌ3 senses · 1 main

Core sense — a thing that is plain, open, or public; done openlygenerated

1he saw him, or it, [plainly,] with no veil betweenرَآهُ جَهْرَةً

A thing that is plain, apparent, conspicuous, open, or public.

And رآه جِهَارًا means the same, or, Er-Rāghib says, he saw him, or it, with exceeding plainness.

Or the first means he saw him, or it, with his eyes, before his eyes, with nothing between; so in the Qur'ān 2:52, حَتَّى نَرَى ٱللّٰهَ جَهْرَةً.

Some say جَهْرَةً is here originally a maṣdar of جَهَرْتُ in جَهَرْتُ بِالقِرَآءَةِ [like جَهْرًا], used figuratively in the sense of مُعَايَنَةً; it is in the accusative case as a maṣdar, or is so used as a denotative of state relating to the agent or the object.

Some read جَهَرَةً, as a maṣdar like غَلَبَة, or as plural of جَاهِرٌ, and as such it is a denotative of state.

Or جَهْرَةً is here from جَهَرْتُ الرَّكِيَّةَ.

Ibn-ʿArafeh: it here means not concealed from us; and in the Qur'ān 4:152, with the eyes, not concealed from us by anything.

Qur’ān 4:153 approximate — somewhere between 4:141 and 4:176 Lane cites “Kur. iv. 152”
Lane cites “Bd in ii. 52” — a commentary, not the verse; no modern number is given
Qur’ān 4:153 the verse Lane’s citation points to, and it uses this root
يَسْـَٔلُكَ أَهْلُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ أَن تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ كِتَـٰبًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ۚ فَقَدْ سَأَلُوا۟ مُوسَىٰٓ أَكْبَرَ مِن ذَٰلِكَ فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَرِنَا ٱللَّهَ جَهْرَةً فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ بِظُلْمِهِمْ ۚ ثُمَّ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ ٱلْعِجْلَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتُ فَعَفَوْنَا عَن ذَٰلِكَ ۚ وَءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ سُلْطَـٰنًا مُّبِينًا

The people of the Book ask thee to cause a book to descend to them from heaven: Indeed they asked Moses for an even greater (miracle), for they said: "Show us Allah in public," but they were dazed for their presumption, with thunder and lightning. Yet they worshipped the calf even after clear signs had come to them; even so we forgave them; and gave Moses manifest proofs of authority.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1he spoke to him plainly, with an open voice, aloud, or publiclyكَلَّمَهُ جَهْرَةً

And جَهْرًا means the same.

1.2he met him in the daytime, openly, or publiclyلَقِيَهُ نَهَارًا جِهَارًا

And جَهَارًا means the same.

Qur’ānic occurrences جَهْرَة
2:55
وَإِذْ قُلْتُمْ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّىٰ نَرَى ٱللَّهَ جَهْرَةً فَأَخَذَتْكُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَأَنتُمْ تَنظُرُونَ

And remember ye said: "O Moses! We shall never believe in thee until we see Allah manifestly," but ye were dazed with thunder and lighting even as ye looked on.

6:47
قُلْ أَرَءَيْتَكُمْ إِنْ أَتَىٰكُمْ عَذَابُ ٱللَّهِ بَغْتَةً أَوْ جَهْرَةً هَلْ يُهْلَكُ إِلَّا ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ

A word of well-known meaning: [an ism jamʿ: jewels; precious stones; gems; pearls; any kind of jewel, precious stone, or gem; and applied also, under تِبْرٌ, to native ore:] any stone from which something profitable is extracted.

Ism waḥda with ة; plural جَوَاهِرُ.

Er-Rāghib: it is of the measure فَوْعَلُ and comes from الجَهْرُ, meaning a thing's becoming very plain to be perceived by sight.

Or, according to most people, it is of Persian origin, arabicized, [from گَوْهَرْ].

1.1the wavy marks, streaks, or grain of a swordجَوْهَرُ سَيْفٍ

Synonymous with فِرِنْدٌ; see the article فِرِنْدٌ.

1.2the essence of a thing; the substance, or material, of a thingجَوْهَرُ شَىْءٍ

[That by which a thing is what it is; the constituent, or material, part of it;] that on which the natural constitution of a thing is as it were based, or of which its natural constitution is made.

Or, as IbrD thinks is meant in the K, the parts and materials of a thing taken together, of which its natural constitution is moulded.

Explained by مَاوُضِعَتْ عَلَيْهِ جِبِلَّتُهُ, or, as in some dictionaries, مَا خُلِقَتْ عَلَيْهِ جِبِلَّتُهُ, [which comes to the same thing].

الجَوْهَرُ, الذَّاتُ, المَاهِيَّةُ, and الحَقِيقَةُ are all synonymous; the first has other meanings as well, but in the classical language it means الأَصْلُ, that is, أَصْلُ المُرَكَّبَاتِ, [the original of compound things], and not what subsists by itself.
