compassion

, aor. , inf. n. حَنِينٌ, He was, or became, affected with [a yearning, longing, or desire, or] an intense emotion of grief or of joy; as also ↓ استحنّ and ↓ تحانّ. (K.) [See an instance of its denoting an emotion of joy voce حَنَّانٌ.] You say, حَنَّ إِلَيْهِ, aor. and inf. n. as above, He, or his soul, yearned towards, longed for, or desired, him, or it. (S.) And حَنَّ إِلَى وَطَنِهِ He yearned towards, longed for, or desired, his home. (TA.) And تَحِنَّ إِلَى زَوْجِهَا الأَوَّلِ [She yearns towards her first, or former, husband]. (TA.) And حَنَّتْ, inf. n. as above, She (a woman) yearned towards, longed for, or desired, her child, or children. (Msb.) So, too, one says of a she-camel, meaning She yearned towards, longed for, or desired, her home, or her young one; and in like manner, of a pigeon: but in most instances it means she (a camel) yearned with a cry, or uttered a cry when yearning [or a yearning cry or the cry produced by yearning], towards her young one or her companions: or she uttered a cry with emotion after her young one: in its primary sense, she reiterated her [yearning] cry after her young one: but when you say, حَنَّ قَلْبِى إِلَيْهِ, you mean My heart yearned towards, longed for, or desired, him, or it, without the uttering of a cry or sound. (TA.) They said also, لَاأَفْعَلُهُ حَتَّى يَحِنَّ الضَّبُّ فِى أَثَرِ الإِبِلِ الصَّادِرَةِ [I will not do it until the lizard called ضبّ yearn after the camels returning from the water; meaning I will never do it]: this is only a prov.; for the ضبّ has no حَنِين nor does it ever go to the water. (TA.) [And حنَّ العُودُ, aor. and inf. n. as above, (assumed tropical:) The lute produced plaintive sounds: or excited lively emotions of sadness, or of mirth: see حَنَّانٌ. And in like manner one says of a musical reed: see مُثَقَّب.] And حَنَّتِ القَوْسُ, (K,) aor. as above, (S,) and so the inf. n., (TA,) (assumed tropical:) The bow [twanged, or] made a sound (K, TA) when its string had been pulled and then let go. (S.) And حَنَّتِ الطَّسْتُ إِذَا نُقِرَتْ (tropical:) [The brazen basin rang when it was knocked, or pecked]. (TA.) And حَنَّتِ السَّارِيَةُ [The mast creaked, or made a creaking sound]. (TA in art. صر.) And حَنَّ قِدْحُ لَيْسَ مِنْهَا (assumed tropical:) [An arrow of those used in the game called المَيْسِر produced a sound: it was not of them]: a prov., applied to a man who ascribes to himself a false origin, or who arrogates to himself that to which he has no relation: by the قدح is meant one of the arrows of the ميسر; for when this is not of the same substance as the others, and is made to vibrate, it produces a sound different from the sounds of the others, and is known thereby. (TA. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 341.]) And حَنَّتِ الرِّيحُ and ↓ استحنّت (assumed tropical:) [The wind made a plaintive, or moaning, or perhaps a shrill, sound; made a sound like the حَنِين of camels: see حَنُونٌ]: both signify the same. (TA.) [See also حَنِينٌ, below.] ― -b2- حَنَّ عَلَيْهِ, (S, Msb, TA,) aor. as above, (S, Msb,) inf. n. حَنَانٌ (S, Msb, K *) and حَنَّةٌ (Msb, TA *) and حَنٌّ, (K, * TA,) He was merciful, compassionate, or pitiful, towards him, or it; (S, Msb, K, * TA:) as also ↓ تحنّن: (S, K:) he was, or became, favourably inclined towards him, or it; (Msb;) and so ↓ تحنّن: (TA:) he was, or became, affectionate, or pitiful, or compassionate, towards him; (K, * TA;) as also ↓ حَنْحَنَ. (IAar, Az, K.) And عَلَى وَلَدِهَا ↓ تَحَنَّنَتْ She (a camel, and a ewe or goat,) became favourably inclined, or compassionate, towards her young one. (Lh, TA.) ― -b3- See also 2. ― -b4- حَنَّ عَنِّى, aor. , means صَدَّ; (S;) i. e. He turned away from me, avoided me, or shunned me: so that it is anomalous; for by rule the aor. should be ; and it is not mentioned among the exceptions [to the rule applying to a case of this kind]. (MF, TA.) [But it appears from what here follows that صَدَّ may perhaps be here meant to be understood in its trans. sense.] -A2- حَنَّهُ, (K,) [aor. , as is shown below,] inf. n. حَنٌّ, (TA,) signifies صَدَّهُ and صَرَفَهُ [He turned him, or it, away, or back]. (K, TA.) You say, حُنَّ عَنِّى شَرَّكَ, inf. n. حَنٌّ, Turn thou away, or back, from me thy evil, or mischief. (K.) And مَا تَحُنُّنِى شَيْيأًا مِنْ شَرِّكَ Thou dost not turn away, or back, from me aught of thy evil, or mischief (S.) -A3- [حُنَّ, inf. n. حَنٌّ, app. He was, or became, possessed by a demon, or by one of the tribe or kind or class termed الحِنّ; and hence, he was, or became, mad, or insane: for] حَنٌّ is syn. with جُنُونٌ; (TA as from the K; [but not in the CK nor in my MS. copy of the K;]) whence مَحْنُونٌ applied to a man [as meaning مَجْنُونٌ]. (TA.)

[حنّنهُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ, accord. to modern usage, and perhaps classical also, He, or it, caused him to be merciful, compassionate, pitiful, or favourably inclined, towards another.] -A2- حَمَلَ فَحَنَّنَ He charged, or made an assault or attack, and was cowardly, and retreated. (K, TA.) ― -b2- مَا حَنَّنَ عَنِّى He did not turn away from me; did not leave, or relinquish, me. (TA.) [And ↓ احنّ, or ↓ حَنَّ, seems to have a similar meaning: for] you say, أَثَرٌ لَا يُحِنُّ عَنِ الجِلْدِ A mark that does not go away from the skin: or, accord. to Th, who does not explain it, it is يَحِنُّ. (TA.) -A3- حَنَّنَتِ الشَّجَرَةُ The tree blossomed, or flowered: (K:) and in like manner one says of a herb. (TA.)

He made the bow to [twang, or] give a sound, [by pulling, and then letting go, the string.] (K.) -A2- And احنّ He (a man. TA) did wrong, committed a mistake, or missed [the object of his aim]. (K.) ― -b2- See also 2.

(Az, TA.) وَحَنَانًا مِنْ لَدُنَّا, in the Kur [xix. 14], respecting which I 'Ab is related by 'Ikrimeh to have said, I know not what is الحَنَانُ, means And mercy from us. (S, TA.) The Arabs say, حَنَانَكَ يَا رَبِّ and حَنَانَيْكَ [I beg thy mercy, O my Lord]: both signify the same; i. e. رَحْمَتَكَ: (S:) the latter is the expression commonly used: (A 'Obeyd, in a marginal note in a copy of the S:) or [rather] the latter means have mercy on me time after time, and with mercy after mercy: (K, * TA:) it is a dualized inf. n., of which the verb is not expressed; like لَبَّيْكَ and سَعْدَيْكَ: (TA:) or it means [let thy mercy be continuous to me;] whenever I receive mercy and good from Thee, let it not cease, but be conjoined with other mercy from Thee: (ISd, TA:) the dual form is not to be understood as restricting the signification to duality: (Suh, TA:) the word is not used in this form otherwise than as a prefixed noun: (Sb, TA:) but sometimes they said حَنًانًا, in the sing., without prefixing it. (ISd, TA.) They said also, سُبْحَانَ ٱللّٰهِ وَحَنَانَيْهِ meaning [I extol, or celebrate, or declare, the absolute purity, or perfection, or glory, of God,] and I beg his mercy; like as they said, سُبْحَانَ ٱللّٰهِ وَرَيْحَانَهُ. (TA.) And حَنَانَ ٱللّٰهِ as meaning مَعَاذَ ٱللّٰهِ [I seek the protection, or preservation, of God].
