(I'Ab, Zj, S, M, TA,) as also المِفَرُّ, (Zj, K, TA,) which is an instrumental noun used as a noun of place: (K, TA:) but the first is the common reading.

(Msb.) ― -b3- And فَرَّ إِِلَى الشَّىْءِ He went, or betook himself, to the thing. (Msb.) ― -b4- And [hence] فَرَّتْ يَدُهُ His arm, or hand, fell off; like طَرَّتْ and تَرَّتْ.

” (S, M, * Meyd, K, *) and فِرَارُهُ, (M, Meyd, K,) and فَرَارُهُ, (S, K,) sometimes thus pronounced with fet-h, (S,) (tropical:) [Verily the fleet and excellent horse, his aspect (see عَيْنٌ) is (equivalent to) the examination of his teeth, i. e. he is known by his aspect], is a prov., applied to him whose external state indicates his internal qualities; (Meyd, O, K;) meaning that one knows his excellence from his عَيْن [i. e. aspect] like as one knows the age of a beast by examining his teeth; (TA;) his external appearance rendering it needless for thee to test him, (S, Meyd, O, K,) and to examine (أَنْ تَفُرَّ) his teeth: (S, O, K:) and [with the same meaning] one says, فَرُّ الجَوَادِ عَيْنُهُ: (A, TA:) and [in like manner] الخَبِيثُ عَينُهُ فُرِاَرُهُ [The bad, his aspect &c.]; (Meyd, O, TA;) i. e. thou knowest his badness by his عَيْن when thou seest him. (TA.) And one says also, فَرَرْتُ فَمَ الفَرَسِ I opened the mouth of the horse that I might know his age. (Har p. 28.) And فَرَّ عَنْ أَسْنَانِ الدَّابَّةِ, aor. فَرِ3َ , He examined the teeth of the beast. (Har p. 233.) ― -b2- [Hence the saying of El-Hajjáj, فُرِرْتُ عَنْ ذَكَآءٍ, expl. in art. ذكو.] And [hence also] one says, فَرَّهُ عَنْ أَشْيَآءِ (tropical:) He examined him respecting things (O, * TA.) And فَرَّ الأَمْرَ, (M, TA,) and فَرَّ عَنِ الأَمْرِ, (S, M, O, K, TA,) (tropical:) He examined, looked into, scrutinized, or investigated, the affair; searched into it; inquired, or sought information, respecting it.

(TA.) ― -b3- And فُرَّ الأَمْرُ جَذَعًا (assumed tropical:) The thing returned to its first state; it recommenced. (M, O, K.) And فُرَّ الأَمْرَ جَذَعًا (assumed tropical:) Commence thou the affair from the first thereof. (M, in the TT. [But the MS. has in this case, as in that here immediately preceding, الامرُ: the right reading is evidently الامرَ; as in a similar phrase voce جَذَعٌ, q. v.]) -A3- فَرَّ, aor. يَفِرُّ or يَفَرُّ, (accord. to different copies of the T,) He became intelligent after being weak [in mind].
