[Also, app., He, or it, caused one to breathe short or unintermittedly, to pant for breath, or to be out of breath: see مُحَشِّيَةُ الكِلَابِ, below.]


3. ⇒ حاشى

حاشاهُ مِنْهُمْ, (IAmb, Ḳ, &c.,) inf. n. مُحَاشَاةٌ, (KL,) He set him aside as excluded from the description of them; [excluded him from them;] did not include him among them: (IAmb, TA:) from حَشًى meaning the “side” of a thing: (Az, TA;) he excepted him from them; as alsoتحشّاهُ↓. (Lḥ, Ḳ, TA.) You say, شَتَمْتُهُمْ وَمَا حَاشَيْتُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا andما تَحَشَّيْتُ↓, i. e. [I reviled them and] I did not say [of any one of them] حَاشَى لِفُلَانٍ [Far is such a one from being included among those of whom I speak! or from any cause of reproach!]; or I did not except, of them, any one. (Lḥ, TA. [The same saying is repeated in the TA, in the supplement to this art. of the Ḳ, but with the substitution of حشيت for حاشيت; perhaps by a mistake of the copyist: or it may be inferred from a statement of Fr and IAmb, which will be found below, that one also saysما حَشَيْتُ↓.]) And En-Nábighah [Edh-Dhubyánee] says, (Mbr, Ṣ.)

* وَلَا أَرَى فَاعِلًا فِى النَّاسِ يُشْبِهُهُ *
* وَمَا أُحَاشِى مِنَ الأَقْوَامِ مِنْ أَحَدِ *

[And I shall not see an actor among mankind resembling him; and I do not except, of the companies of men, any one]: which shows حَاشِى to be a verb perfectly inflected. (Mbr, Ṣ, Mughnee.) And hence the trad. of the Prophet, قَال أُسَامَةُ أَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَىَّ مَا حَاشَى فَاطِمَةَ, i. e. [He said, Usámeh is the most beloved of men to me:] he did not except Fátimeh: ما being here a negative; not, as Ibn-Málik imagines, supposing this clause to be of the words of the Prophet, the ما which, with a verb following it, conveys the meaning of an inf. n. (Mughnee.)

Root: حشى - Entry: 3. Signification: A2

حَاشَى also denotes exception as a particle, or as a verb (Ṣ, Mughnee) having but one tense and no inf. n., (Mughnee,) according as it governs a gen. or an accus. case. (Ṣ.) You say,ضَرَبْتُهُمْ حَاشَى↓ زَيْدٍ [I beat them, except Zeyd], using it as a particle; and ضربتهم حاشى زَيْدًا, using it as a verb. (Ṣ, I’Aḳ * p. 169.) And sometimes one says, قَامَ القَوْمُ مَا حَاشَى زَيْدًا [The party stood, except Zeyd]; (Mughnee, I’Aḳ p. 169;) like مَا خَلَا; though Ibn-Málik [like Sb] disallows it: (I’Aḳ:) this being shown to be allowable by the saying of the poet,

* رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ مَا حَاشَى قُرَيْشًا *
* فَإِنَّا نَحْنُ أَفْضَلُهُمْ فَعَالَا *

[I have seen mankind, except Kureysh, that we are the most excellent of them in conduct]. (Mughnee, I’Aḳ p. 170.) The agent of حاشى [used as a verb having but one tense and no inf. n.] is a pronoun implied, relating to the inf. n. of the preceding verb, or to its act. part. n., or to a portion of what is meant by the [preceding] general noun: so that when one says, قَامَ القَوْمُ حَاشَى زَيْدًا, the meaning is, [The party stood, but] their standing, or the stander of them, or a portion of them, was apart from Zeyd. (Mughnee.) [In the Ḳ, its use as a verb of this kind is not mentioned; but it is there said to govern the gen. case, like حَتَّى.]

Root: حشى - Entry: 3. Signification: A3

It also denotes remoteness from imperfection or the like, or freedom therefrom; as in the phraseحَاشَى↓ لِلّٰهِ [I ascribe unto God remoteness from every imperfection or the like, or freedom therefrom; generally implying wonder or admiration, so that it may be rendered, how far, or how free, is God from every imperfection!]: (Mughnee:) or this phrase means مَعَاذَ ٱللّٰهِ [I seek protection by God; or, as often used by late writers, and in the present day, God forbid!]; as alsoحَاشَ↓ لِلّٰهِ; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) the former being the original expression: (Ṣ:) it occurs, read in both these ways, in the Ḳur xii. 31 and 51; where it implies wonder at the power of God as manifested in the creation of such a person as Joseph. (Ksh, Bḍ.) Mbr and IJ and the Koofees hold that it is a verb; and that, in the [latter] verse the meaning is, Joseph hath kept aloof from disobedience for the sake of God; but such an interpretation as this is not suitable in the case of [the former verse,] حَاشَ لِلّٰهِ مَا هٰذَا بَشَرًا: the truth is, that it is a noun, syn. with التَنْزِيه or البَرَآءَة, [accord. to different copies of the Mughnee, meaning تَنْزِيهًا or بَرَآءَةً,] as is shown by another reading,حَاشًا↓ لِلّٰهِ, with tenween, like بَرَآءَةً لِلّٰهِ; and by the reading of Ibn-Mesʼood,حَاشَ↓ ٱللّٰهِ, like مَعَاذَ ٱللّٰهِ: some assert that it is a verbal noun, meaning أَتَبَرَّأُ [I assert myself to be free, or clear, to God], or تَبَرَّأْتُ [I have asserted myself, &c.]; but its being decl. in some dials. contradicts this. (Mughnee.) One says also,حَاشَاكَ↓ andحَاشَى↓ لَكَ [Far art thou from being included among those of whom I speak! or from any cause of reproach! or the like]; both meaning the same. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) And some of the Arabs sayحَشَى↓, (Fr, IAmb, TA,) dropping the ا (IAmb, TA.)

Root: حشى - Entry: 3. Signification: A4

Sb says, (Ṣ, Mughnee,) with most of the Basrees, (Mughnee,) that it is only a particle governing the gen. case, (Ṣ, Mughnee,) syn. with إِلَّا; (Mughnee;) because, if it were a verb, it would be allowable to make it a connective to مَا, like خَلَا; and this he asserts to be not allowable. (Ṣ.) Mbr says that it is sometimes a verb; as is shown by the verse of En-Nábighah cited above; and by the saying حَاشَى لِزَيْدٍ, because a particle cannot be made to precede immediately another particle; and because it suffers elision, as in the phrase حَاشَ لِزَيْدٍ, seeing that elision takes place in nouns and verbs only, exclusively of particles: (Ṣ, Mughnee *:) and IJ and the Koofees say the like: but Mbr also holds, in common with El-Jarmee and El-Mázinee and Zj and Akh and AZ and Fr and Aboo-ʼAmr EshSheybánee, that it is often a particle governing the gen. case, and seldom a trans. verb having but one tense and no inf. n., because syn. with إِلَّا. (Mughnee.)

5. ⇒ تحشّى

تحشّى [He went aside, apart, or aloof, or he removed, withdrew, or retired to a distance,] is from الحَاشِيَةُ; like تَنَحَّى from النَّاحِيَةُ: (TA:) and [تحاشى↓ has a similar meaning:] you say, تَحَاشَيْتُ مِنْ كَذَا I kept aloof from, shunned, or removed myself far from, such a thing; from الحَشَا [or الحَشَى] meaning النَّاحِيَةُ. (Ḥar p. 194.)

Root: حشى - Entry: 5. Signification: A2

And تحشّى مِنْهُ; (IAạr, Ḳ;) andحاشى↓ مِنْهُ, (Ḥar p. 294,) inf. n. مُحَاشَاةٌ; (KL;) He abstained, or refrained, (IAạr, Ḳ, KL, Ḥar,) from him, (IAạr, Ḳ, Ḥar,) or it, (IAạr, KL,) through disdain and pride; or he disdained, or scorned, or was ashamed of, him, or it. (IAạr, Ḳ, Ḥar.)

Root: حشى - Entry: 5. Signification: A3

And لَا يَتَحَشَّى, (El-Báhilee, TA,) andلا يُحَاشِى↓, (Ḥar p. 294,) He will not care, mind, heed, or regard. (El-Báhilee, Ḥar, TA.)
