In the Qur'ān 15:15. Or the meaning is: have been covered over. (Aboo-'Amr Ibn-El-'Alà)

Without teshdeed. Or this reading, which is that of El-Hasan, means, according to him, have been enchanted; or both readings mean that they have been covered and closed by enchantment, so that we imagined we saw things we did not really see. Mujáhid explains this reading as meaning they have been stopped up, that is, covered by something that prevented their seeing, as water is prevented from flowing by a سِكْر [or dam]; so A 'Obeyd reports.

have become dazzled, like the eyes of one intoxicated—سَكِرَتْ

Another reading. (Ksh)

AO says that سَكِرَتْ أَبْصَارُ القَوْمِ means the people became affected by a giddiness, and an affection like cloudiness of the eye, or weakness of the sight, came over them, so that they did not see; and Aboo-'Amr Ibn-El-'Alà says that this meaning is derived from سُكْرٌ, as though their eyes were intoxicated.

4.1

It intoxicated him, or deprived him of his reason, said of wine or beverage; according to some, سَكَرَهُ is used in the same way, but the first is the form that commonly obtains.

سكّرهُ has the same meaning; or its maṣdar تَسْكِيرٌ means the causing to be affected with the remains of intoxication. [See the passive ism mafʿūl of this last, below.]

The first is also said of قريض [apparently a mistranscription for قريص, which may be synonymous with قَارِصٌ meaning "sour milk", for this has an effect like intoxication when too much of it has been drunk]; and applied in this way it is figurative.

Approach not prayers with a mind befogged, until ye can understand all that ye say,- nor in a state of ceremonial impurity (Except when travelling on the road), until after washing your whole body. If ye are ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from offices of nature, or ye have been in contact with women, and ye find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands.

Core sense — sugar; a kind of sweet fresh ripe dates; a kind of grapesgenerated

Sugar; a certain sweet substance, well known. A Persian word, arabicized, from شَكَرْ; the ism waḥda is formed with ة [meaning a piece of sugar].

It is hot and moist, according to the most correct opinion, though some say cold. The best sort is the transparent, called طَبَرْزَذٌ, and the old is more delicate than the new. It is injurious to the stomach, producing yellow bile, but the juice of لَيْمُون and of نَارَنْج counteract its harmfulness.

It is said to be a word recently introduced, but some say that it occurs in one tradition.

1.1

Like سُكَّر [or sugar] in sweetness: so used by Aboo-Ziyád El-Kilábee.

1.2

A certain kind of sweet fresh ripe dates, likened to sugar in sweetness; AHát: a kind of very sweet dates.

Known to the people of El-Bahreyn, and in Sijilmáseh and Dar'ah, and, as some say, in El-Medeeneh, where, however, they need to be dried artificially.

1.3

A kind of grapes which, when affected by what is termed مَرَق, mostly fall off.

Their bunches are of middling size; they are white, juicy, and very sweet, of the best kinds of grapes, and are made into raisins.
