حقن

Root entry · 1 derived lemma

حَاقِنٌ حاقن A man keeping in, or retaining, and collecting, his urine; from حَقِينٌ meaning “ milk collected in a skin: ” (IF, Msb:) [ suffering from retention of the urine: ] having urine that distresses [ by its quantity ]: (S, TA:) having much urine retained and collected: (Mgh:) and ↓ حَقِنٌ signifies the same. (TA.) Hence the saying, (Mgh, TA,) in a trad., (TA,) لَا رَأْىَ لِحَاقِنٍ وَلَا حَاقِبٍ وَلَا حَازِقٍ (S, * Mgh, TA *) No counsel, or advice, is possible to one who has much urine retained and collected, nor to one suffering suppression of the feces, nor to one who is pinched by a tight boot. (Mgh, TA. *) ― -b2- [ Collecting grease, or melted grease, in a skin. ] You say, أَنَا مِنْهُ كَحَاقِنِ الاـِهَالَةِ (assumed tropical:) I am a person skilled in it; because such a one does not collect the اهالة in a skin until he knows that it has cooled, lest the skin should be burnt. (K.) ― -b3- (assumed tropical:) A moon a little after or before the change (هِلَال) having its two extremities elevated, and its back decumbent. (K.) Hence the saying, هِلَالٌ وَاقِفٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ هِلَالٍ حَاقِنٍ (tropical:) [ A هلال erect (here meaning nearly erect ) is better, or more auspicious, than a هلال decumbent ]. (A, TA.) [See also أَذْفَقُ.]
