Parallel reading

الخون: أن يؤتمن الإنسان فلا ينصح؛

Al-khawn: is when a person is entrusted and does not advise sincerely;

خانه يـخونه ( خونا وخيانة ) ، بالكسر، وخانة ومخانة ، وميم المخانة زائدة.

He betrayed him (khunan and khiyanatan), with kasra, and khana and makhana, and the mim of makhana is extra.

يتحدثون مخانة وملاذة ويعاب قائلهم وإن لم يشغب

They speak in betrayal and pleasure, and their speaker is blamed even if he does not incite.

علم الله أنكم كنتم تختانون أنفسكم ؛ أي بعضكم بعضا

Allah knew that you used to betray yourselves; meaning, some of you betrayed others.

فهو خائن وخائنة ، والهاء للمبالغة مثل علامة ونسابة؛

So he is a betrayer (khain) and a betrayer (kha'ina), and the 'ha' is for exaggeration like 'allama and nassaba;

حدثت نفسك بالوفاء ولم تكن للغدر خائنة مغل الإصبع

You convinced yourself of loyalty, but you were not a betrayer whose finger was easily moved to treachery.

وأصل الخون النقص لأن الخائن ينقص المخون شيئا مما خانه فيه.

And the origin of al-khawn is deficiency because the traitor diminishes from the betrayed something that he betrayed him in.

الخيانة التفريط في الأمانة.

Al-khiyanah is the neglect of a trust.

فالخيانة مخالفة الحق بنقض العهد في السر،

So betrayal is violating the truth by breaking the covenant in secret,
