حَقَنَهُ, aor. ـُ {يَحْقُنُ} and ـِ {يَحْقِنُ}, (Ḳ,) inf. n. حَقْنٌ, (TA,) i. q. حَبَسَهُ [as meaning He confined it; kept it in; prevented it from escape; retained, restrained, or withheld, it]; (Ḳ;) as alsoاحتقنهُ↓, (as in some copies of the Ḳ,) orاحقنهُ↓; (as in other copies and in the TA;) but see, in what follows, what is said of this last in the Ṣ. (TA.)

حَقَنَ اللَّبَنَ (Ṣ, Mgh, Ḳ) فِى السِّقَآءِ, (Ḳ,) aor. ـُ {يَحْقُنُ}, (Ṣ,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He collected the milk in the skin, (Ṣ, Mgh,) and poured fresh milk upon that which was curdled, or thick, or upon that which was churned: (Ṣ:) or he poured the milk into the skin, [and kept it therein] that its butter might come forth. (Ḳ.) And حَقَنَ المَآءَ فِى السِّقَآءِ, aor. ـُ {يَحْقُنُ}, inf. n. as above, He collected the water in the skin. (Mṣb.)

حَقَنَ البَوْلَ, (Ks, Ṣ, M,) or بَوْلَهُ, (Mgh, Mṣb,) He kept in, or retained, (M, Mgh, Mṣb,) and collected, (Mgh, Mṣb,) the urine, (M,) or his urine: (Mgh, Mṣb:) one should not say احقنهُ↓; (Ks, Ṣ, M;) nor should one say [of the urine] حَقَنَنِى هُوَ. (M.)

حَقَنَ دَمَهُ, (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ,) and حَقَنَ لَهُ دَمَهُ, (TA from a trad.,) ‡ He prevented or forbade, the shedding of his blood, (Ṣ, Mgh, TA,) and the slaying him; (TA;) [he spared his blood, or forbore to shed it;] i. e., (Mgh,) he saved him (Mgh, Ḳ) from slaughter (Ḳ) when it had become lawful to slay him; from حَقَنَ اللَّبَنَ; (Mgh;) contr. of هَدَرَهُ; as though he collected his blood in him, and did not pour it forth. (Mṣb.)

حَقَنَ مَآءَ وَجْهِهِ † He preserved [the lustre of his face; meaning his honour,or reputation]. (TA.)

حَقَنَ المَرِيضَ (Ṣ,* Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ *) He administered to the sick person what is termed حُقْنَة, i. e. [a clyster,] a medicine put into a مِحْقَنَة; (Mgh;) he conveyed medicine into the inside of the sick person by his anus (مِنْ مَخْرَجِهِ) with the مِحْقَنَة. (Mṣb.) See also 8.

احقن He collected different sorts of milk [in a skin, old and fresh,] to become good. (Ḳ.)

See also 1, in two places.

تَحَقَّنَتِ الإِبِلُ The camels became full in their insides. (TA.)

احتقن as a trans. v.: see 1.

Also It (blood) collected in the inside in consequence of a spear-wound, or stab, or the like, penetrating thereinto. (TA.)

And He (a man) administered to himself, or had administered to him, a حُقْنَة [or clyster]: (Ṣ,* Mgh, Mṣb:) or he (a sick man) made use of the حُقْنَة in consequence of suppression of his urine. (Ḳ.) The saying اِحْتَقَنَ الصَّبِىُّ بِلَبَنِ أُمِّهِ [meaning The child had its mother's milk administered to it as a clyster] is farfetched: and اُحْتُقِنَ is not allowable: the right expression is حُقِنَ↓, or عُولِجَ بِالحُقْنَةِ. (Mgh.)

And اِحْتَقَنَتِ الرَّوْضَةُ The روضة [i. e. meadow, or garden,] had its sides elevated عَلَى سَائِرِهَا [above the rest of it]: so says AḤn: in the Ḳ, على سَرَارِهَا [above the depressed, or the best, or most fruitful, part of it: in the CK, سِرارِها]. (TA.)

حَقْنَةٌ A pain in the belly: pl. أَحْقَانٌ. (IAạr, Ḳ.)

حُقْنَةٌ The administration of a medicine to a sick person by his anus; (TA;) [i. e. the administration of a clyster;] the conveyance of a medicine to the inside of a sick person by his anus with the مِحْقَنَة. (Mṣb.)

And hence, (Mṣb,) [A clyster;] a medicine so administered to a sick person: (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ:) pl. حُقَنٌ. (Mṣb.)

And, by extension of the meaning, The tube of a مِحْقَنَة. (Mgh.)

حَقِينٌ Confined, kept in, prevented from escape, retained, restrained, or withheld; as alsoمَحْقُونٌ↓. (Ḳ.)

And, as a subst., (Ṣ,) Milk collected in a skin, (Ṣ, IF, Mṣb,) when fresh milk has been poured upon that which has become curdled, or thick, or upon that which has been churned. (Ṣ, TA.) Hence the prov., أَبَى الحَقِينُ العِذْرَةَ; i. e. العُذْرَ; [The milk collected in the skin,, &c., has disallowed the excuse;] (AʼObeyd, Ṣ, TA;) applied to him who excuses himself when having no [real] excuse: (TA:) originally said by a man who asked some people to give him milk to drink, upon their excusing themselves while they had milk which they had collected in a skin; meaning, this حقبن belies you. (AʼObeyd, TA.)

حَاقِنٌ A man keeping in, or retaining, and collecting, his urine; from حَقِينٌ meaning “milk collected in a skin:” (IF, Mṣb:) [suffering from retention of the urine:] having urine that distresses [by its quantity]: (Ṣ, TA:) having much urine retained and collected: (Mgh:) andحَقِنٌ↓ signifies the same. (TA.) Hence the saying, (Mgh, TA,) in a trad., (TA,) لَا رَأْىَ لِحَاقِنٍ وَلَا حَاقِبٍ وَلَا حَازِقٍ (Ṣ,* 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.*)

[Collecting grease, or melted grease, in a skin.] You say, أَنَا مِنْهُ كَحَاقِنِ الإِهَالَةِ † 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. (Ḳ.)

† A moon a little after or before the change (هِلَال) having its two extremities elevated, and its back decumbent. (Ḳ.) Hence the saying, هِلَالٌ وَاقِفٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ هِلَالٍ حَاقِنٍ ‡ [A هلال erect (here meaning nearly erect) is better, or more auspicious, than a هلال decumbent]. (A, TA.) [See also أَذْفَقُ.]

الحَاقِنَةُ The stomach; (Ḳ;) an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant; because it retains, or collects, the food: (TA:) and the pit between each collar-bone and what is termed حَبْلُ العَاتِقِ [explained in art. حبل, q. v.]; (AA, Ṣ, Ḳ;*) the two together being termed [the] حَاقِنَتَانِ: (AA, Ṣ:) the pit of each collar-bone: (T, TA:) the part between the collar-bone and the neck: (TA:) or the lower part of the belly: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) pl. الحَوَاقِنُ. (T, TA.) [See also الذَّاقِنَةُ.] Hence, (Ḳ,) it is said in a prov., لَأُلْحِقَنَّ حَوَاقِنَكَ بِذَوَاقِنِكِ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) i. e. [I will assuredly conjoin] the lower part of thy belly with the upper part thereof: or the part of thy belly that retains, or collects, the food, with the lower part of thy belly, and with thy knees. (TA.) The ذَاقِنَة is [also said to be] the extremity of the حُلْقُوم [or windpipe]: and hence the saying attributed to ʼÁïsheh, that the Prophet died [with his head] between her حَاقِنَة and her ذَاقِنَة. (Ṣ.)

مِحْقَنٌ A skin in which milk is collected; fresh milk being poured into it upon that which is curdled, or thick, or upon that which has been churned: (Ṣ:) or a skin into which milk is poured, [and in which it is kept,] that its butter may come forth. (Ḳ.)

And A funnel with which the milk is poured into the skin: (Az, Ḳ:*) or a funnel which is put into the mouth of a skin, into which one then pours wine, and water. (TA.)

[مَحْقَنَةٌ app. sing. of مَحَاقِنُ as used in the following saying; like as مَحْقَلَةٌ is sing of مَحَاقِلُ.] بَارَكَ ٱللّٰهُ فِى مَحَاقِلِكُمْ وَمَحاقِنِكُمْ May God bless your seed-produce and your progeny. (TA.)

مِحْقَنَةٌ The thing with which a حُقْنَة [or clyster] is administered; (Mgh, Mṣb;) being a leathern pouch, furnished with a tube. (Mgh.)

مِحْقَانٌ One who retains his urine, and, when he discharges it, discharges much: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) applied by ISd peculiarly to a camel. (TA.)
