Nounفُرَاتٌ3 senses · 1 main

Core sense — sweet, or very sweet, water; the Euphrates; the seagenerated

1sweet; or very sweet; or of the sweetest kind; or subduing thirst by its extreme sweetness—فُرَاهٌ

Applied to water; this and the headword are both chaste, well-known forms, like تَابُوتٌ and تَابُوهٌ (Towsheeh).

According to Z, so called because it breaks the violence of thirst and allays it, as though from رَفَتَ and formed by transposition.

You say مَآءٌ فُرَاتٌ, and in a copy of the K فِرَاتٌ also, and مِيَاهٌ فُرَاتٌ and فِرْتَانٌ, like غِرْبَانٌ [plural of غُرَابٌ], when فُرَاتٌ is pluralized, though this is rarely done.

1.1the Euphrates; the river of El-Koofeh—الفُرَاتُ

the Euphrates and the Tigris—الفُرَاتَانِ

A great, celebrated river, which issues from the limits of Er-Room, then passes by the borders of Syria and other lands, and, after meeting the Tigris, forms one river with it and pours into the Sea [or Gulf] of Persia.

That is, الفُرَاتُ and دِجْلَةُ; or, according to the S [and O], الفُرَاتُ and دُجَيْلٌ [the Euphrates and Dujeyl, the latter being a branch of the Tigris].

1.2

Also the sea: so in a verse of Aboo-Dhu-eyb describing pearls as found in it.

Qur’ānic occurrences فُرَات

25:53

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى مَرَجَ ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ هَـٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ وَهَـٰذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخًا وَحِجْرًا مَّحْجُورًا

It is He Who has let free the two bodies of flowing water: One palatable and sweet, and the other salt and bitter; yet has He made a barrier between them, a partition that is forbidden to be passed.

35:12

وَمَا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْبَحْرَانِ هَـٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ سَآئِغٌ شَرَابُهُۥ وَهَـٰذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ ۖ وَمِن كُلٍّ تَأْكُلُونَ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا ۖ وَتَرَى ٱلْفُلْكَ فِيهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبْتَغُوا۟ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

Nor are the two bodies of flowing water alike,- the one palatable, sweet, and pleasant to drink, and the other, salt and bitter. Yet from each (kind of water) do ye eat flesh fresh and tender, and ye extract ornaments to wear; and thou seest the ships therein that plough the waves, that ye may seek (thus) of the Bounty of Allah that ye may be grateful.

77:27

وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ شَـٰمِخَـٰتٍ وَأَسْقَيْنَـٰكُم مَّآءً فُرَاتًا

And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)?
