(Ṣ,* TA.)

When the pronoun relates to a man, the meaning (of the first of these three forms, as mentioned by En-Naḍr and Sh and in the Mgh and TA, and of the second, as mentioned by Aṣ, and En-Naḍr and Sh, &c., and of the third, as mentioned in the TA,) is God made him to have enjoyment, or plentiful and pleasant and easy life; syn. نَعَّمَهُ; (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb, TA;) or جَعَلهُ نَاضِرًا [which signifies the same]: (AʼObeyd:) or نَضَرَهُ ٱللّٰه, (El-Azdee, Mgh,) andنضّرهُ↓ ٱللّٰه, (El-Ḥasan El-Muäddib, TA:) signifies † God made his rank, or station, good (El-Azdee, El-Ḥasan El-Muäddib, Mgh, TA,) among mankind: (El-Ḥasan El-Muäddib, TA:) not relating to beauty of the face; (El-Azdee, El-Ḥasan El-Muäddib, Mgh, TA:) but is similar to the saying, أُطْلُبُوا الحَوَائِجَ إِلَى حِسَانِ الوُجُوهِ [which see explained in art. وجه]. (El-Ḥasan El-Muäddib, TA.) Aṣ cites this verse:

* نَضَّرَ ٱللّٰهُ أَعْظُمًا دَفَنُوهَا *
* بِسِجِسْتَانَ طَلْحَةَ الطَّلَحَاتِ *

[May God grant enjoyment to bones which they have buried in Sijistán: (I mean) Talhat-et- Talahát]. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., نَضَرَ ٱللّٰهُ عَبْدًا سَمِعَ مَقَالَتِى فَوَعَاهَا ثُمَّ أَدّاهَا إِلى مَنْ يَسْمَعَهَا, (Sh, Ṣ,* A,* Mgh,* TA,) orنَضَّرَ↓, (Sh, Ṣ, in which latter we read ٱمْرَأَ in the place of عبدا, and A, in which we find مَنْ in the place of عبدا, and Mgh; the readingنضّر↓ alone being given in the copies which I have of the Ṣ and A;) May God cause to have enjoyment, or a plentiful and pleasant and easy life, [the servant, or man, who hears what I say, and keeps it in mind, then conveys it to him who hears it:] (Ṣ, Mgh, in explanation of the latter reading, and TA, in explanation of both readings:) or † may God make to have a good rank or station, &c.
