He saw him, or it, [plainly,] without the intervention of any veil: (TA:) and ↓ رآه جِهَارًا [signifies the same: or] he saw him, or it, with exceeding plainness: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or the former signifies he saw him, or it, with his eyes, ocularly, or before his eyes, (S, A, Bd in ii. 52, Msb,) without anything intervening: (S:) so in the Kur. [ii. 52], حَتَّى نَرَى ا@للّٰهَ جَهْرَةً: (S, Bd:) and [some say that] جَهْرَةً is here originally an inf. n. of جَهَرْتُ in جَهَرْتُ بِالقِرَآءَةِ, [like ↓ جَهْرًا ,] and metaphorically used in the sense of مُعَايَنَةً: it is in the accus. case as an inf. n.: or it is thus used as a denotative of state relating to the agent or the object: and some read ↓ جَهَرَةً , as an inf. n. like غَلَبَة, or as pl. of جَاهِرٌ, and as such it is a denotative of state: (Bd:) or جَهْرَةً is here from جَهَرْتُ الرَّكِيَّةَ: (Akh, S:) accord. to Ibn-' Arafeh, it here signifies unconcealed from us: (TA:) and in the Kur. iv. 152, ocularly; not concealed from us by anything.
