- ابْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ قَالَ : لَا تَكُونُ حَوْرَاءُ شَقْرَاءَ وَلَا أَدْمَاءُ حَوْرَاءَ وَلَا مَرْهَاءُ ، لَا تَكُونُ إِلَّا نَاصِعَةَ بَيَاضِ الْعَيْنَيْنِ فِي نُصُوعِ بَيَاضِ الْجِلْدِ فِي غَيْرِ مُرْهَةٍ وَلَا شُقْرَةٍ وَلَا أُدْمَةٍ وَلَا سُمُرَةٍ وَلَا كَمَدِ لَوْنٍ حَتَّى يَكُونَ لَوْنُهَا مُشْرِقًا وَدَمُهَا ظَاهِرًا .
- Ibn al-ʾAʿrābī said, "A ḥawrāʾ woman is not tawny-skinned, nor would a dark-skinned one be ḥawrāʾ, nor would a pale one. A ḥawrāʾ woman would have scleras as pure-white as the skin, with no paleness, nor tawniness, nor darkness, nor brownness, nor dullness in skin-tone, so that her skin is clear and her blood-flow is showing through."
