فَطَرَهُ, (Ṣ, M, Ḳ,) aor. ـُ {يَفْطُرُ}, (M, Ḳ, TA,) and, accord. to the Ḳ, ـِ also, but this latter form requires consideration, for it is related by Ṣgh, from Fr, in another sense, that of milking a camel, and not unrestrictedly, (TA,) inf. n. فَطْرٌ; (Ṣ, M;) andفطّرهُ↓, (M, TA,) inf. n. تَفْطِيرٌ; (TA;) [but the latter is with teshdeed to denote muchness, or frequency, or repetition, of the action, or its application to many objects;] He clave, split, slit, rent, or cracked, it.

فَطْرٌ [as an inf. n.: see 1:]

[as a subst.,] A cleft, split, slit, rent, or crack: (Ḳ:) or, accord. to some, a first cleft, &c.: (MF:) pl. فُطُورٌ: (Ḳ:) occurring in the saying هَلْ تَرَى مِنْ فُطُورٍ [Dost thou see any clefts?], in the Ḳur [lxvii. 3]. (TA.)

'Omar, being asked respecting [the discharge termed] المَذْى, answered, It is الفَطْرُ: (O, Ḳ:) thus as related by AʼObeyd: (TA:) it is said that he likened it, in respect of its paucity, to what is drawn from the udder by means of the milking termed الفَطْرُ: (O, Ḳ:) or, as some say, it is from تَفَطَّرَتْ قَدَمَاهُ دَمًا [expl. above]: (TA:) or he likened its coming forth from the orifice of the ذَكَر to the coming forth of the نَاب of the camel: or, as it is related by En-Naḍr, he said الفُطْرُ↓, with damm: meaning the milk that appears upon the orifice of the teat of the udder. (O, Ḳ.)

فُطْرٌ Such as has broken forth [with buds or leaves] (مَا تَفَطَّرَ), of plants. (TA.) See also فِطْرٌ.

And, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) as alsoفُطُرٌ↓, (Ḳ,) the latter used in poetry, (TA,) [The toadstool;] a species of كَمْأَة [or fungus], (Ṣ, Ḳ,) white and large, (Ṣ,) and deadly: (Ḳ:) [so called] because the ground cleaves asunder from it: (TA:) n. un. فُطْرَةٌ. (Ṣ.) [Also applied in the present day to The common mushroom; agariens campestris. And Any fungus.]

[Also, the former, Immaturity, or want of leaven, in dough:] see the explanation of فَطَرَتِ المَرْأَةُ العَجِينَ.

And فُطْرٌ andفُطُرٌ↓ signify also Somewhat of that which remains of milk [in the udder], which is then milked: (L, Ḳ:) or a small quantity of milk when it is milked: (TA:) or milk at the time when it is milked. (AA, TA.) See also فَطْرٌ, last sentence.

فِطْرٌ Grapes when the heads thereof appear; (Ḳ, TA;) [so called] because the [fruit-] stalks [then] break forth (تَنْفَطِرُ); (TA;) as alsoفُطْرٌ↓. (Ḳ, TA.)

Also a subst. from أَفْطَرَ; (Ṣ;) [as such] it signifies The breaking of a fast; contr. of صَوْمٌ. (TA.) [Hence, عِيدُ الفِطْرِ The festival of the breaking of the fast, immediately after Rama- dán; sometimes called الفِطْرُ alone.] الفِطْرَةُ↓ means صَدَقَةُ الفِطْرِ [The alms of the breaking of the fast], (O, Ḳ, TA,) which is a صَاع [q. v.] of wheat: the prefixed noun (صدقه) is rejected, and ة is affixed to its complement (الفطر) to indicate that such has been done: but it is a word used by the lawyers; not of the classical language.

And so in the saying of Moḥammad, كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الفِطْرَةِ Every infant is born in a state of conformity to the natural constitution with which he is created in his mother's womb, either prosperous or unprosperous [in relation to the soul]; and if his parents are Jews, they make him a Jew, with respect to his worldly predicament; [i. e., with respect to inheritances, &c.;] and if Christians, they make him a Christian, with respect to that predicament; and if Magians, they make him a Magian, with respect to that predicament; his predicament is the same as that of his parents until his tongue speaks for him: but if he die before his attaining to the age when virility begins to show itself, he dies in a state of conformity to his preceding natural constitution, with which he was created in his mother's womb. (AHeyth, TA.) [See another explanation of the word, as occurring in this trad., below.]

Nature; constitution; or natural, native, innate, or original, disposition, or temper or other quality or property; idiosyncrasy. (Th, TA.)

The faculty of knowing God, with which He has created mankind: (TA:) the natural constitution with which a child is created in his mother's womb, whereby he is capable of accepting the religion of truth: this is a secondary application: and this is [said to be] the signification meant in the trad. mentioned above. (Mgh.)

Hence, The religion of el-Islám: (Mgh:) the profession whereby a man becomes a Muslim, which is the declaration that there is no deity but God, and that Moḥammad is his servant and his apostle, who brought the truth from Him, and this is (AHeyth, TA) religion. (AHeyth, Ḳ, TA.) This is shown by a trad., in which it is related that Moḥammad taught a man to repeat certain words when lying down to sleep, and said فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ مُتَّ مِنْ لَيْلَتِكَ مُتَّ عَلَى الفِطْرَةِ [And then, if thou die that same night, thou diest in the profession of the true religion]. (AHeyth, TA.) Also by the saying, قَصُّ الأَظْفَارِ مِنَ الفِطْرَةِ The paring of the nails is [a point] of the religion of el-Islám. (Mgh.)

Also i. q. سُنَّةٌ [app. meaning The way, course, mode, or manner, of acting, or conduct, or the like, pursued, and prescribed to be followed, by Moḥammad]. (TA.)

فَطُورٌ (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ) andفَطُورِىٌّ↓, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) as though the latter were a rel. n. from the former, (Ṣ,) A breakfast; a thing [i. e. food or beverage] upon which one breaks his fast. (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ.)

فَطِيرٌ Dough unleavened; or not left until it has become good [or mature]; contr. of خَمِيرٌ: (Ṣ, TA:) and in like manner clay, or mud. (TA.) [Hence,] عِيدُ الفَطِيرِ [The feast of unleavened bread; also called, of the Passover;] a festival of the Jews, [commencing] on the fifteenth day of their month نِيسَان, and lasting seven days. (Mṣb. [See also الفِصْحُ.])

Anything prepared, made, or done, hastily, or hurried, so as to prevent its becoming mature: (Lth, Ṣ, Ḳ:) fresh; recent; newly made: (Ṣ, TA:) pl. فَطْرَى: (Ṣgh, IAth, TA:) for أَطْعَمَهُ فَطْرَى, in the Ḳ, expl. as meaning [He fed him] with فَطِير, is a gross mistake, a mistranscription of أَطْعِمَةٌ فَطْرَى, as the phrase stands in the handwriting of Ṣgh himself, in wellformed letters, and with the syll. signs, meaning meats [newly prepared,, &c.]. (TA.) You say عِنْدِى خُبْزٌ خَمِيرٌ وَحَيْسٌ فَطِيرٌ [I have leavened bread, and] fresh, recent, or newly made, حيس [q. v.]. (Ṣ, TA.) You say also إِيَّاكَ وَالرَّأْىَ الفَطِيرُ ‡ Beware thou of a hastily formed, immature, opinion. (Ṣ.) And شَرُّ الرَّأْىِ الفَطِيرُ ‡ [The worst opinion is the hastily formed, and immature]. (TA.)

فُطَارِىٌّ A man possessing neither good nor evil; (IAạr, O, Ḳ,* TA;) such as is termed فَدْم [impotent in speech or actions, heavy, or dull;, &c.]: (TA:) from فُطَارٌ applied to a sword, meaning that will not cut. (IAạr, O, TA.*)

فَاطِرٌ A camel whose نَاب [or tush] is coming forth, (Ṣ,) or cleaving the flesh and coming forth. (TA.)

فَاطِرُ ٱلسَّمٰوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ [in the Ḳur xlii. 9, &c.,] means The Originater [or Creator] of the heavens and of the earth. (I’Ab, Ṣ,* TA.) See 1.

فُوطِيرٌ a subst. for الجِمَاع, in Syriac. (TA.)

تَفَاطِيرُ, a word similar to تَعَاشِيبُ and تَعَاجِيبُ and تَبَاشِيرُ [q. v.], none of which four words has a sing., Pimples that come forth in the face of a boy or young man, and of a girl or young woman; as alsoنَفَاطِيرُ↓: thus correctly, with ت and ن: the author of the Ḳ, following Ṣgh [in the O], says thatأَفَاطِيرُ↓ is the pl. ofأُفْطُورٌ↓, and signifies a cracking, or chapping, in the nose of a young man, and in his face. (TA.)

Also, thus correctly, with ت, The first of [the herbage of the rain called] the وَسْمِىّ [q. v.]; and in this sense also it has no sing.: but it is said in the Ḳ that نَفَاطِيرُ↓ is pl. ofنُفْطُورَةٌ↓, with ن; [in the O, that it is pl. ofنُفْطُورٌ↓;] and [in both] that it signifies scattered herbage; (TA;) and Lḥ says, as is stated by AḤn, thatنَفَاطِيرُ↓ مِنْ عُشْبٍ means small quantities of herbage in land: (O, TA:) it is also added in the Ḳ, in explanation ofنَفَاطِيرُ↓, or it signifies the first herbage of [the rain called] the وَسْمِىّ: (TA:) [and it is said that] تَفَاطِيرُ نَبَاتٍ signifies what break forth of, or from, plants, or herbage. (TA voce تَبَاشِيرُ.)

مُفْطِرٌ A man breaking his fast; eating and drinking after fasting: (Ṣ,* Mṣb,* Ḳ, TA:) pl. مَفَاطِيرُ, (Sb, Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) like as مَيَاسِيرُ is pl. of مُوسِرٌ, (Ṣ,) and مَفَالِيسُ of مُفْلِسٌ: (Mṣb:) andفِطْرٌ↓ signifies the same, as sing. and pl., (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) being originally an inf. n. (Ṣ, Mṣb.)

مُنْفَطِرٌ is used in the Ḳur [lxxiii. 18], in the phrase ٱلسَّمَآءُ مُنْفَطِرٌ بِهِ [The heaven shall be with rents by reason of it], in the manner of a possessive noun, [not as an act. part. n.,] like مُعْضِلٌ in the phrase دَجَاجَةٌ مُعْضِلٌ. (TA.)
