حكى حل حلأ


1. ⇒ حلّ

حَلَّ, (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ,) aor. ـُ {يَحْلُلُ}, inf. n. حَلٌّ, (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb,) He untied, or undid, (Ḳ, TA,) or opened, (Ṣ,) a knot: (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ:) this is the primary signification. (Er-Rághib, TA.) Hence, يَا عَاقِدُ ٱذْكُرْ حَلًّا [O tyer of a knot, bear in mind the time of untying: or حَابِلُ O binder, or tyer, of the rope: (see art. حبل:)] (Ṣ, TA:) or, as IAạr relates it, يا حَامِلُ [O loader]: a prov., applied to the consideration of results; because a man may tie a load too tightly; and when he desires to untie it, may injure himself and his camel. (TA. [See also a similar saying below, in the second paragraph.]) And الشُّفْعَةُ كَحَلِّ العِقَالِ [The right of preemption is like the untying of the cord with which a camel's fore shank and arm are bound together]: meaning that it is accomplished as quickly and easily as the عقال is untied: the explanation that it passes away quickly, like the camel when his عقال is untied, is improbable. (Mgh, Mṣb.*) And hence the saying [in the Ḳur xx. 28], وَٱحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِنْ لِسَانِى[And loose Thou an impediment of, or from, my tongue]. (Er-Rághib, TA.) The pass. is pronounced by some حُلَّ, and by others حِلَّ: thus in the saying of El-Farezdaḳ,

* فَمَا حِلَّ مِنْ جَهْلٍ حُبَى حُلَمَائِنَا *
* وَلَا قَابِلُ المَعْرُوفِ فِينَا يُعَنَّفُ *

[And the garments of our forbearing men by which they support themselves in sitting by binding them, or making them tight, round the shanks and back are not loosed through ignorance, nor is the accepter of the benefit, among us, reproached]; the kesreh of the first ل [in the original form حُلِلَ] being transferred to the ح: but Akh heard it pronounced in this instance حُلَّ; and some, he says, in this word, and in others like it, as رُدَّ and شُدَّ, only impart to the ḍammeh somewhat of the sound of kesreh, by the pronunciation termed إِشْمَام. (Ṣ.)

From حَلُّ الأَحْمَالِ عِنْدَ النُّزُولِ [The untying, unbinding, or loosing, of the loads on the occasion of alighting], حَلَّ, inf. n. حُلُولٌ, came to be used alone as meaning نَزَلَ [i. e. He alighted; or descended and stopped or sojourned or abode or lodged or settled; and simply he took up his abode; or he abode, lodged, or settled; in a place]. (Er-Rághib, TA.)

(TA.) And حُلَّ المَكَانُ The place was alighted in, or taken as an abode; (TA;) was inhabited. (Ḳ.) [Hence, in philosophy, حُلُولٌ signifies † Temporary or separable, and permanent or inseparable, indwelling or inbeing: and حَلَّ بِهِ or فِيهِIt had, or became in the condition of having, such indwelling or inbeing in it. And حَلَّ بِهِ or فِيهِ is often said of joy and grief and the like, meaning † It took up its abode in him. Andحَلَّ مَحَلَّ↓ كَذَاIt took, or occupied, the place of such a thing.]

حلّل اليَمِينَ, (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ,) inf. n. تَحُلِيلٌ (Mgh, Ḳ) andتَحِلَّةٌ↓, (Ṣ,* Mgh, Ḳ,) andتَحِلٌّ↓, which is anomalous, (Ḳ,) orتَحِلَّةٌ↓ is a simple subst., (Mṣb,) [and] so is حِلٌّ↓, (Ḳ, TA,)He expiated the oath: (Ḳ:) or † he freed the oath from obligation by making an exception, or saying إِنْ شَآءَ ٱللّٰهُ, or by expiation: (Mgh, Mṣb:) or † he did that whereby he became free from violating, or failing of keeping, the oath; [generally meaning he made an exception in the oath, or he expiated it;] as alsoحَلَّهَا↓: (Mṣb:) andتحلّل↓ فِى يَمِينِهِhe made an exception, or said إِنْ شَآءَ ٱللّٰهُ, in his oath, (Ṣ, Mgh, Ḳ,) immediately: (TA:) andتحلّل↓ مِنْهَاhe became quit of it by expiation, (Mgh, TA,) or by a violation of it requiring expiation, or by making an exception, or saying ان شاء ٱللّٰه, in it. (TA.) One says to him who goes to a great length in threatening, or him who exceeds the due bounds in what he says, حِلًّا↓ أَبَا فُلَانٍ, meaning † Make thou an exception, or say ان شاء ٱللّٰه, O father of such a one, in thine oath; regarding him as a swearer: and in like manner one says, يَا حَالِفُ ٱذْكُرْ حِلًّا↓[O swearer, bear in mind the making an exception, or saying ان شاء ٱللّٰه]. (Ṣ,* TA. [See a similar saying in the second sentence of this art.]) In the sayingلَأَفْعَلَنَّ كَذَا إِلَّا حِلَّ↓ ذٰلِكَ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ كَذَا, [the particle] الّا is syn. with لٰكِنَّ; and the meaning is said to be, † [I will assuredly do such a thing: but] the annulling of the obligation, or the expiation, of [that] my asseveration (تَحِلَّةَ↓ قَسَمِى, or تَحْلِيلَهُ,) shall be my doing such a thing. (TA.) One says also,فَعَلْتُهُ تَحِلَّةَ↓ القَسَمِ, meaning † I did it only enough to annul the obligation of, or to expiate, the oath; not exceeding therein the ordinary bounds. (Ṣ, Mṣb.) It is said in a trad.,لَا يَمُوتُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَوْلَادٍ فَتَمَسَّهُ النَّارُ إِلَّا تَحِلَّةَ↓ القَسَمِ, meaning † [Three children of the believer shall not die and the fire of Hell touch him]. save enough to annul the obligation of, or to expiate, the oath that is implied in the saying in the Ḳur [xix. 72], “There is not any of you that shall not come to it.” (A' Obeyd, Ṣ, TA.) Hence تَحْلِيلٌ came to be applied to anything in which the ordinary bounds were not exceeded. (Ṣ, Mṣb.) One says, ضَرَبْتُهُ تَحْلِيلًا, (Ṣ, TA,) or ضَرْبًا تَحْلِيلًا, (Ḳ,) meaning † I beat him moderately; not exceeding the ordinary bounds. (Ḳ,* TA.) And Kaab Ibn-Zuheyr says, speaking of the feet of a she-camel, وَقْعُهُنَّ الأَرْضَ تَحْلِيلُ, meaning Their falling on the ground is without vehemence. (Ṣ.) [In like manner, also,]تَحِلَّةَ↓ القَسَمِ is descriptive, by way of comparison, of littleness; as isتَحِلَّةَ↓ اليَمِينِ: (Mgh:) or of anything occupying little time: (TA:) andإِلَّا تَحِلَّةَ↓ القَسَمِ, in the trad. cited above, means † [slightly, or] with a slight touch. (Mgh.) A poet says,

* أَرَى إِبِلِى جَدُودَ فَلَمْ تَذُقْ *
*بِهَا قَطْرَةً إِلَّا تَحِلَّةَ↓ مُقْسَمِ *
