Core sense — a lie, a falsehood; a thing worshipped in place of God; strengthgenerated

1he who boasts of abundance he has not received is like one wearing two garments of falsity—المُتَشَبِّعُ بِمَا لَمْ يُعْطَ كَلَابِسِ ثَوْبَىْ زُورٍ

A lie; a falsehood; an untruth — so called because it is a saying that deviates from the truth. So in the Qur'ān 22:31.

So it is explained in the tradition. [See art. شبع.]

and those who do not bear false witness—وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَشْهَدُونَ الزُّورَ

So too in the Qur'ān 25:72. But there are other explanations of these words, given below.

Qur’ān 22:30 matched to Lane’s own quotation of it Lane cites “Kur xxii. 31”
Qur’ān 22:30 Lane quotes this verse
ذَٰلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ حُرُمَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦ ۗ وَأُحِلَّتْ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمُ إِلَّا مَا يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَٱجْتَنِبُوا۟ ٱلرِّجْسَ مِنَ ٱلْأَوْثَـٰنِ وَٱجْتَنِبُوا۟ قَوْلَ ٱلزُّورِ

Such (is the Pilgrimage): whoever honours the sacred rites of Allah, for him it is good in the Sight of his Lord. Lawful to you (for food in Pilgrimage) are cattle, except those mentioned to you (as exception): but shun the abomination of idols, and shun the word that is false,-Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1

What is false, or vain; or false witness; and a thing for which one is suspected, synonymous with تُهَمَةٌ.

1.2figurative · مجاز

Anything taken as a lord in the place of God; a thing that is worshipped in the place of God; also زُونٌ, with ن.

Or a particular idol adorned with jewels, in the country of Ed-Dádar [a name I nowhere find].

1.3

See also زَوْرٌ.

1.4figurative · مجاز — inferred

The associating of another, or others, with God: so explained by Zj in the Qur'ān 25:72, quoted above; and so the phrase شَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ, which occurs in a tradition.

Lane cites “Kur xxv. 72” — Flügel numbering, not yet mapped
1.5figurative · مجاز — inferred

[A place, or] places where lies are told. The words in the Qur'ān 25:72, quoted above, may mean: and those who are not present where lies are told, since witnessing what is false is sharing in it.

Or the meaning here is the places where the Christians sit and talk; or where the Jews and Christians sit and talk; or the festivals of the Jews and Christians; or a place, or places, where people sit and hear singing; or places where people sit and amuse themselves with idle or vain diversion.

But ISd says: I do not know how this is, unless he means the assemblies of polytheism, which include the festivals of the Christians and other festivals.

Lane cites “Kur xxv. 72” — Flügel numbering, not yet mapped
2he has no judgment that can be relied on—مَا لَهُ زُورٌ وَلَا ضَيُّورٌ

Judgment; or judgment that can be relied on; or strength of judgment. [See also زَوْرٌ.]

Or: no strength of judgment; or no judgment, and no understanding or intelligence, to be relied on — for زُورٌ also means understanding, intellect, or intelligence, according to Yaakoob, and so does زَوْرٌ, though A ʿObeyd thinks it a mistranscription for لَا زَبْرَ.

2.1they have no strength—لَيْسَ لَهُمْ زُورٌ
a rope having strength—حَبْلٌ لَهُ زُورٌ

on this sense Strength: in this sense the word is an instance of agreement between Arabic and Persian; or it is arabicized, but the Persian word has the inclined, not the pure, ḍammeh.

2.2

Deliciousness, and sweetness, or pleasantness, of food.

2.3

And softness, and cleanness, of a garment, or piece of cloth.

Distortion of the زَوْر, which is the upper, or uppermost, part of the breast, or the middle of the breast; or the prominence of one of its two sides above the other.
