From a tradition. Or the reading is مِنَ الحَوْرِ بَعْدَ الكَوْرِ, with the same meaning; or it means from a bad state of affairs after a good one, from حَوْرٌ, the untwisting of a turban; or from returning and turning away from the community of the faithful after having been in it — from حَارَ, “he untwisted” his turban, and from كَارَ, “he twisted” his turban on his head.

return upon return—حَوْرٌ

A proverb, applied to one whose good fortune is retiring; or to one who is not in a good state; or to one who has been in a good state and has come into a bad one.

Here حَوْرٌ is used in the sense of حَائِرٌ, as بَوْرٌ is used in the sense of بَائِرٌ. So IAar heard it, and he said it is applied to a thing not in a good state, or to one who has been in a good state and has come into a bad one.

Or: he is in a bad state, and on the way to ruin; or he is in error. See also بُورٌ, and see بَائِرٌ under بور, where it is implied that بور is here an imitative sequent of حور.
