Its root in the classical dictionaries
الظهر الجارحة، وجمعه ظهور. قال عز وجل:
قوله تعالى: ﴿وإن تظاهرا عليه﴾ [التحريم: 4] أي تعاونا. يقال: ظاهرته أي عاونته. قال تعالى: ﴿وأنزل الذين ظاهروهم﴾ [الأحزاب: 26] أي عاونوهم. وأصل ذلك من الظهر الذي هو الجارحة، لأن المعاون يساعد صاحبه بجوارحه وأقواها ظهره. ثم جعل عبارة عن كل معاونة وإن كانت بغير الظهر حتى باللسان. قوله: ﴿وكان الكافر على ربه ظهيرا﴾…
But (now), when the Truth
Has come to them from Ourselves,
They say, "Why are not
(Signs) sent to him, like
Those which were sent to Moses?"
Do they not then reject
(The Signs) which were formerly
Sent to Moses? They say:
"Two kinds of sorcery,
Each assisting the other .
And they say: "For us,
We reject all (such things)!"
Said Pharaoh: "Leave me
To slay Moses; and let him
Call on his Lord!
What I fear is lest
He should change your religion,
Or lest he should cause
Mischief to appear
In the land!"
It is He Who has sent
His Apostle with Guidance
And the Religion of Truth,
That he may proclaim it
Over all religion,
Even though the Pagans
May detest (it).
When the Prophet disclosed
A matter in confidence
To one of his consorts,
And she then divulged it
(To another), and God made it
Known to him, he confirmed
Part thereof and repudiated
A part. Then when he
Told her thereof, she said,
"Who told thee this?"
He said, "He told me
Who knows and is well-acquainted
(With all things)"
