حشى

3 حاشاهُ مِنْهُمْ ذ , (IAmb, K, &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 also ↓ تحشّاهُ. (Lh, K, TA.) You say, شَتَمْتُهُمْ وَ مَا حَاشَيْتُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا and ↓ ما 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. (Lh, TA. [The same saying is repeated in the TA, in the supplement to this art. of the K, 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 says ما ↓ حَشَيْتُ.]) And En-Nábighah [Edh-Dhubyánee] says, (Mbr, S.) وَ لَا أَرَى فَاعِلًا فِى النَّاسِ يُشْبِهُهُ وَ مَا 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, S, Mughnee.) And hence the trad. of the Prophet, قَال أُسَامَةُ أَحَبُّ النَّاسِ اـِلَىَّ 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.) ― -b2- حَاشَى also denotes exception as a particle, or as a verb (S, Mughnee) having but one tense and no inf. n., (Mughnee,) according as it governs a gen. or an accus. case. (S.) You say, زَيْدٍ ↓ ضَرَبْتُهُمْ حَاشَى [ I beat them, except Zeyd ], using it as a particle; and ضربتهم حاشى زَيْدًا, using it as a verb. (S, I 'Ak * p. 169.) And sometimes one says, قَامَ القَوْمُ مَا حَاشَى زَيْدًا [ The party stood, except Zeyd ]; (Mughnee, I' Ak p. 169;) like مَا خَلَا; though Ibn-Málik [like Sb] disallows it: (I' Ak:) this being shown to be allowable by the saying of the poet, رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ مَا حَاشَى قُرَيْشًا فَاـِنَّا نَحْنُ أَفْضَلُهُمْ فَعَالَا [ I have seen mankind, except Kureysh, that we are the most excellent of them in conduct ]. (Mughnee, I' Ak 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 K, its use as a verb of this kind is not mentioned; but it is there said to govern the gen. case, like حَتَّى.] ― -b3- It also denotes remoteness from imperfection or the like, or freedom therefrom; as in the phrase للّٰهِ ↓ حَاشَى [ 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 ا@للّٰهِ [ I seek protection by God; or, as often used by late writers, and in the present day, God forbid! ]; as also للّٰهِ ↓ حَاشَ; (S, K;) the former being the original expression: (S:) it occurs, read in both these ways, in the Kur 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, Bd.) 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 للّٰهِ مَا هٰذَا بَشَرًا: the truth is, that it is a noun, syn. with التَنْزِيه or البَرَاآءَة, [accord. to different copies of the Mughnee, meaning تَنْزِيهًا or بَرَاآءَةً,] as is shown by another reading, للّٰهِ ↓ حَاشًا, with tenween, like بَرَاآءَةً للّٰهِ; and by the reading of Ibn-Mes'ood, ا@للّٰهِ ↓ حَاشَ, like مَعَاذَ ا@للّٰهِ: 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 and لَكَ ↓ حَاشَى [ 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. (S, K.) And some of the Arabs say ↓ حَشَى, (Fr, IAmb, TA,) dropping the ا (IAmb, TA.) ― -b4- Sb says, (S, Mughnee,) with most of the Basrees, (Mughnee,) that it is only a particle governing the gen. case, (S, Mughnee,) syn. with اـِلَّا; (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. (S.) 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: (S, 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-'Amr 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 اـِلَّا.
