The word “farar” (with a kasra) means looking at the teeth of an animal to determine its age. It is a verbal noun, and from it comes the saying of Al-Hajjaj: “I fled from intelligence.” It is narrated as “fararah” (with a damma), and it is a noun derived from it. It is used to describe someone whose outward appearance indicates his inner self, thus making testing him unnecessary. It is even said that the evil person’s very essence is his “fararah.”
الفرار بالكسر النظر إلى أسنان الدابة لتعرف قدر سنها وهو مصدر ومنه قول الحجاج فررت عن ذكاء ويروى فراره بالضم وهو اسم منه يضرب لمن يدل ظاهره على باطنه فيغني عن اختباره حتى لقد يقال إن الخبيث عينه فراره.
