Meaning disputed
Lane gives ʿāriḍ as a cloud appearing across the horizon (Quran 46:24) and also the side of the face. Popular claims such as 'respectable' or 'leader' have no support there.
The word is real, but sources or popular claims disagree about the name. Each reading is shown with its source.
