النظر: تقليب البصر والبصيرة لإدراك الشيء ورؤيته، وقد يراد به التأمل والفحص، وقد يراد به المعرفة الحاصلة بعد الفحص، وهو الروية.

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿ثم نظر﴾ [المدثر: 21] النظر في الأصل تقليب البصر وتوجيهه إلى جهة المنظور، فهو بمعنى الرؤية. ثم يستعمل في تقليب البصيرة، فيكون بمعنى التفكر. قال بعضهم: هو تقلب البصر أو البصيرة لإدراك الشيء ورؤيته. وقد يراد به التأمل والفحص. وقد يراد به المعرفة الحاصلة بعد الفحص.
