(Ṣ, TA.) [See also حَذَمَانٌ, below.] Hence, (Mgh, Mṣb, TA,) ʼOmar said, (Ṣ, TA,) to the مُؤَذّن of Jerusalem, (TA,) إِذَا أَذَّنْتَ قَتَرَسَّلْ وَإِذَا أَقَمْتَ فَٱحْذِمْ, (Ṣ, A, Mgh, Mṣb, TA,) i. e. [When thou chantest the أَذَان, be moderate; not quick: and when thou chantest the إِقَامَة,] cut short the lengthening of thine utterance; meaning, be quick in the اقامة: (Aṣ, Mgh, TA:) another reading is said to have been given by Z, namely, [فَٱخْذِمْ,] with خ.
