Root entry · 1 derived lemma

1 حَزِنَ حاز حزن حزنن , (S, Msb, K,) aor. حَزَنَ , (Msb, K,) inf. n. حَزَنٌ; (Msb, TA;) and ↓ احتزن, and ↓ تحزّن, (S, K,) and ↓ تحازن; (K;) He was, or became, affected with حُزْن [q. v.; i. e. he grieved, mourned, or lamented; or was sorrowful, sad, or unhappy; &c.; عَلَيْهِ and لَهُ for him or it ]. (S, Msb, K.) لَا تَحْزَنْ and لَا تَحْزَنُوا, in the Kur [ix. 40, &c., and iii. 133], do not denote a prohibition of getting حُزْن; for حُزْن does not come by the will of man: the real meaning is Do not thou, and ye, that which engenders حُزْن; do not thou, and ye, acquire حُزْن. (Er-Rághib. [But this requires consideration; or, rather, is not in every case admissible.]) -A2- حَزَنَهُ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. حَزُنَ , (Msb, TA,) inf. n. حُزْنٌ; (K;) and ↓ احزنهُ; He, (another person, S,) or it, (an affair, or an event, or a case, Msb, K,) caused him to be affected with حُزْن [which see below; i. e. grieved him; or caused him to mourn or lament, or to be sorrowful or sad or unhappy; &c.]: (S, Msb, K:) accord. to Yz, (S,) the former is of the dial. of Kureysh; and the latter, of the dial. of Temeem: (S, Msb:) and so say Th and Az: (Msb, TA:) but the former is said to be the more approved: (TA:) or, accord. to AZ, the aor. of the former is used, but not the pret.; (Msb, TA;) and when the act is ascribed to God, the latter verb is used: Z, also, says that what is well known in usage is the employing the pret. of the latter and the aor. of the former: (TA:) or احزنهُ signifies he made him حَزِين [q. v.]; and حَزَنَهُ, [in some copies of the K ↓ حزّنهُ,] he made حُزْن to be in him: (Sb, K:) or حَزَنَهُ, it caused him to fall into حُزْن. (TA.) -A3- حَزُنَتِ الأَرْضُ, (TA,) inf. n. حُزُونَةٌ; (S, TA;) and ↓ استحزنت; (TA;) The ground was, or became, rough, (TA,) or rugged and hard. (S.) ― -b2- One says also of a beast that is not easy to ride upon, يَحْزُنُ المَشْىَ (tropical:) [ He is rough in pace ]: and فِيهِ حُزُونَةٌ (tropical:) [ In him is roughness in pace]. (TA.)
