حَضِيضٌ حضيض A depressed piece (قَرَار) of ground at the place where a mountain ends; (S;) or a depressed piece (قرار) of ground at, or by, the سَفْح [i. e. foot, or bottom, or lowest part, ] of a mountain; or in, or at, the lower, or lowest, part thereof, (فِى أَسْفَلِهِ,) the سفح being behind the حضيض; the حضيض being in the part next the سفح, and the سفح being دُونَ ذٰلِكَ [which seems to be virtually a repetition, signifying behind that part, or it may mean above that part ]: (TA:) or i. q. سَفْحٌ: (K in art. سفح:) or a depressed piece (قرار) of ground: (A:) or a tract (حِجزٌ [in the CK, erroneously, حَجَر]), and a depressed piece (قرار), in land or ground: (K:) and any low piece (سَافِلٌ) of land or ground: (TA:) and the ground [in an absolute sense]: (S:) pl. [of pauc.] أَحِضَّةٌ and [of mult.] حُضُضٌ. (K.) It has the last of the above-mentioned significations in a certain trad., in which it is related that a present being brought to Mohammad, he, not finding anything upon which to put it, said, ضَعْهُ بِالحَضِيضِ, meaning بِالأَرْضِ; [i. e. Put thou it upon the ground; ] adding, for I am only a servant; I eat as the servant eateth. (S.)
