حَسَكٌ حس حسك [is applied, app. in the classical language, as it is in the present day, to Various species of thistle, and other prickly plants: also to the heads of thistles and the like: and particularly to the caltrop, or tribulus: and hence the explanations here following:] the حَسَك [or prickly heads ] of the [plant called] سَعْدَان: (S:) or a certain herb, (Aboo-Ziyád, Mgh, TA,) inclining to yellowness, (Aboo-Ziyád, TA,) having [a head of] prickles of rounded form: (Aboo-Ziyád, Mgh, TA:) seldom, or never, does any one walk upon it, when it has dried up, without putting upon his feet boots or sandals: and the ants transport its produce [or heads ] to their nests: (Aboo-Ziyád, TA:) a certain plant, the produce [or head ] whereof (which is rough [or prickly ], TA) clings to the wool of sheep, (K,) and to the fur of camels, in their places of pasturing: (TA:) its leaves are like those of purslane (الرِّجْلَة), or narrower, and at its leaves are compact and hard prickles, having three forks: [hence it seems to be a species of three-horned caltrop: or for “ three, ” we should perhaps read four: (see another application of the word in what follows:)] the drinking [of an infusion] thereof has the effect of crumbling the stone of the kidneys and bladder; and the drinking of the expressed juice of its leaves is good for the venereal faculty, and for difficulty in the discharge of urine, and for the bite of vipers; and the sprinkling it in the dwelling kills fleas: (K:) also, accord. to Aboo-Nasr, the produce of the [plant called] نَفَل: (TA:) and sharp. hard prickles or thorns: (TA in art. مسك:) n. un. with ة: (S, Mgh:) which some hold to apply to any fruit, or produce, of a plant, that is of the kind termed عُقْدَةٌ [i. e. forming a compact and roundish head ]; and hence, to the pod of the cotton-plant: and it also signifies a prickle, or thorn. (TA.) [Hence,] ↓ اـِنَّهُ لَحَسَكَةٌ (tropical:) Verily he is rough. (A, TA.)

(Msb.) And hence, (Mgh,) اِقْطَعُوهُ ثُمَّ ا@حْسِمُوهُ, (S, Mgh,) or اِقْطَعُوا يَدَهُ ثُمَّ ا@كْوُوهَا [Cut ye off his hand, then cauterize it], (S, * Mgh, * TA,) in order that the blood may stop. (S, Mgh, TA.) You say also, حَسَمْتُ الدَّابَّةَ, meaning I cauterized the beast by successive operations.

(K, TA.)

حَاسِمٌ حاسم ; pl. حُسُومٌ: see this latter word.

مَحْسَمَةٌ محسمه محسمة A cause, or means, of cutting off, or stopping; (T, K, TA;) syn. مَقْطَعَةٌ. (T, TA.) So in the saying, هٰذَا مَحْسَمَةٌ لِلدَّاآءِ This is a cause, or means, of cutting off, or stopping, the disease. (K, * TA.) And hence, (TA,) عَلَيْكُمْ بِالصَّوْمِ فَاـِنَّهُ مَحْسَمَةٌ لِلْعِرْقِ وَ مَذْهَبَةٌ لِلْأَشَرِ, a trad., (T, S, TA,) meaning [Keep ye to fasting, for it is] a cause, or means, of stopping venereal intercourse, [and a cause, or means, of dispelling exultation, or excessive exultation, and resting the mind upon things agreeable with natural desire:] (TA:) or an impediment to venery, and a cause of diminishing the seminal fluid, and of stopping venereal intercourse or passion, &c. (T, TA.)

مَحْسُومٌ محسوم A child (TA) whose sucking is stopped: (K, TA:) and whose food is stopped. (TA.) And A child badly fed. (S, K.) Hence the prov., وَلْغُ جُرَىٍّ كَانَ مَحْسُومًا [The lapping of a little puppy that had been badly fed]: said on the occasion of a greedy person's taking much of a thing that he had not been able to obtain, and that he had became able to obtain; or in ordering one to take much when able. (TA. [See Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 817; where another reading is given, namely, مَحْشُومًا in the place of مَحْسُومًا, as well as the reading here given.])

1 حَسُنَ حسن حسنن , (S, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.,) which may also be written and pronounced حَسْنَ, with the dammeh suppressed, (S,) and حَسَنَ, (K,) aor. حَسُنَ , (TA,) inf. n. حُسْنٌ (S, * Msb, K, * TA) and حُسْنَى, (Ham p. 657, and Bd in ii. 77,) He, or it (a thing, S, Msb), had, or possessed, the quality termed حَسْنٌ [which see below; i. e., was, or became, good, or goodly, (generally the latter,) beautiful, comely, or pleasing, &c.; and ↓ تحسّن often signifies the same, as in the phrase تحسّن عِنْدَهُ it was, or became, good, &c., in his estimation ]: (S, K, TA:) and [in like manner] زَيْدٌ ↓ أَحْسَنَ means Zeyd became possessed of حُسْن. (Mughnee in art. بِ.) ― -b2- One may not say حُسْنَ, transferring the dammeh of the س to the ح and making the former letter quiescent, except in one case; because it is [virtually, together with its agent expressed or implied, in this case,] a predicate: [see I'Ak p. 234:] this is allowable only in the case of a verb of praise or dispraise; حُسْنَ, in respect of the transference of the medial vowel, being likened to نِعْمَ and بِئْسَ, which are originally نَعِمَ and بَئِسَ: and thus one does in all verbs like these two in meaning: a poet says, لَمْ يَمْنَعِ النَّاسُ مِنِّى مَا أَرَدْتُ وَ مَا أُعْطِيهِمُ مَا أَرَادُوا حُسْنَ ذَا أَدَبَا [Men have not withheld from me what I have desired, nor do I give them what they have desired: good, or very good, is this as a mode of conduct! ]: meaning حَسُنَ هٰذَا أَدَبًا. (S, TA.) You say also, حَسُنَ زَيْدٌ, [meaning Good, or goodly, &c., or very good &c., is Zeyd! or] meaning بِهِ ↓ أَحْسِنْ [i. e. how good, or goodly, &c., is Zeyd! as also ↓ مَا أَحْسَنَهُ]. (B, TA in art. بِ.)

2 حسّنهُ حسن حسنه حسننه حسنة , (S, K,) inf. n. تَحْسِينٌ, (S,) He made it, or rendered it, حَسَن [i. e. good, or goodly, (generally the latter,) beautiful, comely, or pleasing, &c.]; (K;) he beautified, embellished, or adorned, it; (S, TA;) as also ↓ احسنهُ. (TA.) You say, الحَلَّاقُ رَأْسَهُ ↓ أَحْسَنَ The shaver beautified, or trimmed, his head. (TA.) And الَّذِى كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُ ↓ أَحْسَنَ [ Who hath made good, or goodly, everything that He hath created ], in the Kur [xxxii. 6], means حَسَّنَ خَلْقَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ [ hath made good, or goodly, the creation of everything ]. (TA.) ― -b2- [See also تَحْسِينٌ.] ― -b3- And see 10.

3 اـنِّى أُحَاسِنُ بِكَ النَّاسَ ذ (S, TA) Verily I contend with men for thy superiority in حُسْن [i. e. goodness, or goodliness, &c.]. (TA.) [حَاسَنَ followed by an accus. is rendered by Golius, as on the authority of J, who gives no explanation of it, “ Bene tractavit et egit. ”]

4 احسن احسن أحسن أحسنن حسن as an intrans. v.: see 1. ― -b2- Also He did that which was حَسَن [meaning good, comely, or pleasing; he acted well ]; (Msb;) he did a good deed: (Er-Rághib, TA:) [for] اـِحْسَانٌ is the contr. of اـِسَاآءَةٌ: (K:) it differs from اـِنْعَامٌ in being to oneself and to another; whereas the latter is only to another: (TA:) and it surpasses عَدْلٌ, inasmuch as it means the giving more than one owes, and taking less than is owed to one; whereas the latter means the giving what one owes, and taking what is owed to one. (Er-Rághib, TA.) You say, أَحْسَنْتُ اـِلَيْهِ and بِهِ [ I acted, or behaved, with goodness, well, or in a good or comely or pleasing manner, towards him; did good to him; benefited him; conferred a benefit, or benefits, upon him ]: both signify the same: (S, TA:) and hence, in the Kur [xii. 101], قَدْ أَحْسَنَ بِى اـِذَ أَخْرَجَنِى مِنَ السِّجْنِ meaning اـِلَىَّ [i. e. He hath acted well towards me, when he brought me forth from the prison ]: (AHeyth, Az:) or, accord. to some, the verb in this case is made to import the meaning of لَطَفَ [which is trans. by means of بِ, i. e. He hath acted graciously with me ]. (Mughnee in art. بِ.) ― -b3- الاـِحْسَانُ is also explained as meaning الاـِخْلَاصُ [i. e. The being sincere, or without hypocrisy; or the asserting oneself to be clear of believing in any beside God ]; which is a condition of the soundness, or validity, of الاـِيمَان and الاـِسْلَام together: and as denoting watchfulness, and good obedience: and as meaning the continuing in the right way, and following the way which those [of the righteous] who have gone before have trodden; this last being said to be the meaning in the Kur ix. 101. (TA.) -A2- As a trans. v.: see 2, in three places. ― -b2- احسنهُ also signifies (tropical:) He knew it: (S, K, TA:) [or] he knew it well; (Er-Rághib, Msb;) and so احسن بِهِ, as in the saying, هُوَ يُحْسِنُ بِالعَرَبِيَّةِ (assumed tropical:) He knows well the Arabic language. (MA.) Hence the saying of 'Alee, قِيمَةُ المَرْءِ مَا يُحْسِنُهُ (tropical:) [ The value of the man is what he knows, or knows well ]. (TA.) النَّاسُ أَبْنَاآءُ مَا يُحْسِنُونَ is another saying of 'Alee, meaning (tropical:) Men are named, or reputed, in relation to what they know, and to the good deeds that they do. (TA.) ― -b3- أَحْسِنْ بِهِ and مَا أَحْسَنَهُ: see 1, last sentence. You say also, ↓ مَا أُحَيْسِنَهُ [i. e. How very good, or goodly, &c., is he! ]; using the dim. form; like مَا أُمَيْلِحَهُ [q. v.]. (S and K in art. ملح.) -A3- Also He (a man, IAar) sat upon a high hill, or heap, of sand, such as is termed حَسَنٌ. (IAar, K.)

5 تحسّن أحسن حسن تحسن تحسنن : see 1. ― -b2- Also i. q. تَجَمَّلَ [i. e. He beautified, embellished, or adorned, himself: and he affected what is beautiful, goodly, or comely, in person, or in action or actions or behaviour, or in moral character, &c.]. (TA.) [تَحَسَّنَتْ, said of a woman, occurs, in the former sense, in the S and K in art. رعد, and in the TA in art. نقط, &c.] ― -b3- دَخَلَ الحَمَّامَ فَتَحَسَّنَ He entered the hot bath and was shaven. (TA.)

6 تحاسن حاسن تحاسن تحاسنن [ He affected to be حَسَن (i. e. good, goodly, beautiful, comely, &c.), not being really so ]. (A in art. صبح. [See 6 in that art.])

10 استحسنهُ أستحسنه استحسنه استحسنة ٱستحسن ٱستحسنه ٱستحسننه He counted, accounted, reckoned, or esteemed, him, or it, حَسَن [i. e. good, goodly, beautiful, comely, pleasing, &c.; he approved, thought well of, or liked, him, or it ]; (S, K;) as also ↓ حسّنهُ, inf. n. تَحْسِينٌ. (Har p. 594.) Hence the saying, صَرْفُ هٰذَا ا@سْتِحْسَانٌ وَ المَنْعُ قِيَاسٌ [ The making this word perfectly declinable is approvable, but the making it imperfectly declinable is agreeable with analogy ]. (TA.)

حُسْنٌ حسن حسنن (S, K, &c.) and ↓ حُسُنٌ, which is of the dial. of El-Hijáz, and ↓ حَسَنٌ, (MF, TA,) Goodness, or goodliness, [generally the latter,] beauty, comeliness, or pleasingness; contr. of قُبْحٌ: (S:) i. q. جَمَالٌ: (K:) but accord. to As, [when relating to the person,] حُسْنٌ is in the eyes, and جَمَالٌ is in the nose: (TA:) symmetry; or just proportion of the several parts of the person, one to another: (Kull:) or anything, moving the mind, that is desired, or wished for; such as is approved by the intellect; and such as is approved by natural desire; and such as is approved by the faculty of sense: in the common conventional language, mostly applied to what is approved by the sight: in the Kur, mostly to what is approved by mental perception: it is in accidents as well as in substances: (Er-Rághib, TA:) the pl. is ↓ مَحَاسِنُ, (S, K,) like مَلَامِحُ pl. of لَمْحَةٌ, and مَشَابِهُ pl. of شَبَهٌ, &c., (Har p. 9,) contr. to rule, (S, K,) as though pl. of ↓ مَحْسَنٌ or ↓ مُحْسَنٌ: (S accord. to different copies:) or, accord. to Lh and Eth-Tha'álibee, مَحَاسِنُ has no proper sing. (TA.) وَ قُولُوا لِلنَّاسِ حُسْنًا, in the Kur [ii. 77], means And say ye to men a saying having in it goodness (قَوْلًا ذَا حُسْنٍ): or حُسْنًا may mean حَسَنًا: (Zj, TA:) and some read here حَسَنًا: and some, حُسُنًا, accord. to the dial. of El-Hijáz: and some, ↓ حُسْنَى, as an inf. n., like بُشْرَى: (Bd:) but AHát and Zj disallow this; the former saying that حُسْنَى is like فُعْلَى [as fem. of أَفْعَلُ denoting the comparative and superlative degrees], and therefore should have the article ال. (TA.) وَ وَصَّيْنَا الاـِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حُسْنًا, in the Kur [xxix. 7], means [in like manner] And we have enjoined man to do to his two parents what is good (مَا يَحْسُنُ حُسْنًا): (TA:) and here [also] some read حَسَنًا; and some, اـِحْسَانًا. (Bd.) [See another ex. of a similar kind, from the Kur xviii. 85, voce اـِمَّا, near the beginning of the paragraph.] ― -b2- سِتُّ الحُسْنِ [ The convolvulus caïricus of Linn.; abundant in the gardens of Cairo;] a certain plant that twines about trees and has a beautiful flower. (TA.) ― -b3- See also حَسَنٌ.
