(TA.) مَا حَكَّ ظَهْرِى مِثْلُ يَدِى [ Nothing has scratched my back like my hand ] is a prov., meaning that one should abstain from relying upon others: and the same meaning is intended in the following verse: مَا حَكَّ جِلْدَكَ مِثْلُ ظُفْرِكْ فَتَوَّلَ أَنْتَ جَمِيعَ أَمْرِكْ [ Nothing has scratched thy skin like thy nail: so manage thou thyself all thine affair ].

(TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] حَكَّ فِى صَدْرِى, and ↓ احكّ, and ↓ احتكّ, (K,) the first whereof, which is mentioned by IDrd preceded by the negative مَا, is the most approved, (TA,) (tropical:) It wrought, or operated, in, or upon, my mind: (K, TA:) said of a suggestion of the devil, that comes into one's mind.

It is said in a trad., الاـِثْمُ مَا حَكَّ فِى صَدْرِكَ (assumed tropical:) Sin is that which makes an impression upon thy mind, and induces a suspicion that it is an act of disobedience, because the mind is not dilated thereby.
