From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root نصر. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

نَصَرَهُ , (M, A, K,) aor. نَصُرَ , (M,) inf. n. نَصْرٌ (M, A, K) and نُصْرَةٌ , (A,) or this is a simple subst., (S, Msb,) and نُصُورٌ , (K,) [but see the verse of Khidásh in what follows,] He aided or assisted him, (M, K,) namely, a person wronged, misused, or treated unjustly or injuriously, (M. A, K,) against his enemy: (TA:) [he avenged him: (see the verse here following, and see 8:) he supplied his want, or somewhat thereof (TA.) Kidásh Ibn-Zuheyr says. فَاـِنْ كُنْتَ تَشْكُو مِنْ خَلِيلٍ مَخَانَةً فتِلْكَ الجَوَازِى عَقْبُهَا وَنُصُورُهَا [And if thou complain of treachery from a friend. those requitals are its result and its avengers, or avengement]: here نُصُور may be a pl. of نَاصِرٌ . like شُهُودٌ is of شَاهِدٌ ; or it may be an inf. n., like دُخُولٌ and خُرُوجٌ . (M.) You say, تَصَرَهُ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِ , (S, A, Msb,) and مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ , (A, Msb,) aor. نَصُرَ , (S, Msb,) inf. n. نَصْرٌ (S, A, Msb) and نُصْرَةٌ , (A,) or this, as remarked above, is a simple subst., (S, Msb.) He (namely, God. S, A, or a man, Msb,) aided or assisted him, and strengthened him, against his enemy: (Msb:) [he avenged him of his enemy. (See 8.)] And نَصَرَهُ ا@للّٰهُ God made him to be victorious, to conquer, or to overcome: so in the Kur, xxii. 15, where the pronoun relates to Mohammad. (TA.) In the Kur, xlvii. 8. اـِنْ تَنْصُرُوا ا@للّٰهَ يَنْصُرْكُمْ means, If ye aid God's religion and his apostle, He will aid you against your enemy: (Bd, Jel) or if ye aid his servants, &c.: or if ye keep his ordinances and aid his orders and comply with his commands and shun the things which He hath forbidden, &c. (El-Basáïr.) And the trad. أُنْصُرْ أَخَاكَ ظَالِمَّا أَوْ مَظْلُومًا is explained as meaning, Prevent thou thy brother from wronging when he is a wronger, and aid him against his wronger when he is wronged. (TA.) Also, نَصَرَهُ مِنْهُ , (K,) inf. n. نَصْرٌ and نُصْرَةٌ , (TA,) [or the latter in this sense, as in the cases above mentioned, is a simple subst.,] He served or Preserved him from him or it. (K.) ― -b2- نَصَرَا@للّٰهُ الأَرْضَ God gave rain to the earth or land. (A.) And نَصَرَ الغَيْثُ الأَرْضَ (S, M, K,) [aor. نَصُرَ ,] inf. n. نَصْرٌ , (M,) (tropical:) The rain aided the earth or land: (S:) or watered it: (M:) or watered it generally and copiously, (K, TA,) and caused it to produce herbage: (TA:) and نَصَرَ البَلَدَ (tropical:) it assisted the country to produce abundance of herbage: (TA:) and نُصِرَتِ الأَرْضْ (tropical:) the earth or land was watered by rain. (S.) ― -b3- Hence, نَصَرَهُ , aor. نَصُرَ , inf. n. نَصْرٌ , (tropical:) He gave to him. (M.) An Arab of the desert [in the A a beggar] accosted a people saying, أُنْصُرُونِى نَصَرَكُمُ ا@للّٰهُ , meaning, (tropical:) Give ye to me: may God give to you. (M, A.) ― -b4- نَصَرَهُ ا@للّٰهُ also signifies (assumed tropical:) God bestowed upon him the means of subsistence, or the like; syn. رَزَقَهُ . (IKtt.)

نصّرهُ , (inf. n. تَنْصِيرٌ , K,) He made him a Christian. (S, M, K.) It is said in a trad., [relating to the natural disposition of a child to adopt the true faith,] فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ [But his two parents make him a Jew or make him a Christian]. (S.)

نَاْصَرَ [ ناصرهُ He rendered reciprocal aid to him. See an ex. voce عَاصَرَ .]

تنصّر He laboured, or strove, to aid, or assist; syn. عَالَجَ النَّصْرَ : (M, K:) not of the same category as تَحَلَّمَ [he endeavoured to acquire حِلْم ] and تبرّر [he endeavoured to characterize himself by بِرّ ]. (M.) -A2- He became a Christian. (M, K.)

نَصْرٌ [used a subst.,] Aid or assistance, rendered to another, especially against an enemy: [avengement or another:] victory or conquest: (Bd, xxix. 9:) and ↓ نُصْرَةٌ is a subst. from نَصَرَهُ [and therefore signifies the same]: (S, Msb:) or the ↓ latter signifies good aid, or assistance: (M, K:) and this ↓ same word, when the object is God, signifies aid of God's servants; &c.; as explained above: see 1.

نَصْرَانِىٌّ , (S, A, Msb, K, &c.) and ↓ نَصْرَانٌ , (M, A,) or this latter has not been used without the addition of the relative ى , (S,) or it has been sometimes used, (M,) and ↓ نَصْرِىٌّ , (M, Msb, K,) but we have not heard this used, (M,) [A Christian: or this is a secondary application, and the original meaning is a Nazarene:] fem. نَصْرَانِيَّةٌ , (S, A, Msb, K,) and نَصْرَانَةٌ , (S, A, K,) or the latter is used only by poetic licence: (IB:) ↓ نَصَارَى [applied to the Christians] is a rel. n. from نَاصِرَةُ , [or Nazareth,] a town of Syria, (S, M, K,) also called نَصْرَانَةُ , (Lth, IDrd, K,) or نَصْرَانُ , (S, Msb,) and نَصُورِيَةٌ , (M, Sgh, K,) without teshdeed, accord. to Sgh, (TA,) and نُصْرِىٌّ and نُصْرَى , (as in a copy of the M,) or نَصْرَى and نَصْرَوَةُ : (TA:) so originally, and then applied to such as hold the religion of its inhabitants: (Msb:) this is the opinion of the lexicologists; but it is of weak authority, though admissible as there are other anomalous rel. ns.: (M:) or [so in K, but in the S, and] نَصَارَى is pl. of نَصْرِىٌّ , (Kh, M, Msb, K,) like as مَهَارَى is pl. of مَهْرِىٌّ ; (Msb, K;) or of نَصْرَانٌ (Kh, S, M) and نَصْرَانَةٌ , (S,) like as نَدَامَى is pl. of نَدْمَانٌ (Kh, S, M) and نَدْمَانَةٌ ; (S;) but more probably of نَصْرَانٌ , because this word has been sometimes used, whereas we have not heard نَصْرِىٌّ used: (M:) and it is implied in the copies of the K, that أَنْصَارٌ is pl. of نَصْرَانِىٌّ ; but correctly, it is a pl. of نَصْرَانٌ , without ى , as is said in the TS, and the L, in both of which is mentioned the saying of the poet, لَمَّا رَأَيْتُ نَبَطًا أَنْصَارَا [When I saw Nabatheans, Christians], meaning نَصَارَى . (TA.)
