beautiful and brightنَضِرٌ

[These are adjectives from نَضَرَ, نَضُرَ and نَضِرَ respectively.]

beautiful and brightأَنْضَرُ

So in the K; but in the corresponding passage the L has the verb أَنْضَرَ, with the addition that it is like نَضَرَ.

faces on that day shall be beautiful and brightوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ

So in the Kur 75:22. Or: shining because of enjoyment, or of a beautiful, pleasant and easy state of existence.

[These adjectives have other, similar meanings, shown by the explanations of نَضُرَ and its variations.]

نَاضِرٌ is coupled with غَضٌّ as an adjective applied to a boy, and so is نَضِيرٌ; and نَاضرَةٌ with غَضَّةٌ applied to a girl, and so is نَضِيرَةٌ. Used in this way they are figurative.

1.1intense in greennessنَاضِرٌ

You say أَخْضَرُ نَاضِرٌ [intense, or bright, green], as you say أَصْفَرُ فَاقِعٌ and أَبْيَضُ نَاصِعٌ.

In the same way it is used as an intensive adjective with any colour: أَحْمَرُ نَاضِرٌ [intense, or bright, red], and أَصْفَرُ نَاضِرٌ [intense, or bright, yellow]. So says IAar.

Or أَخْضَرُ نَاصِرٌ means smooth green, according to A'Obeyd; and Az adds: glistening in its clearness.
