جاهضهُ, (Ḳ,) inf. n. جِهَاضٌ, (TA,) He endeavoured to prevent him, or to turn him away [from a thing]; and strove to be before him; syn. مَانَعَهُ and عَاجَلَهُ. (Ḳ.) Hence the saying, in a trad. of Moḥammad Ibn-Meslemeh, relating his endeavouring to attack a man on the day of Ohod, فَجَاهَضَنِى عَنْهُ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ But Aboo-Sufyán endeavoured to turn me away from him (مَانَعَنِى عَنْهُ), and put me away [from him]. (TA.)

أَجْهَضَنِى He overcame me in contending for the thing; as alsoجَهَضَنِى↓. (Ṣ.) You say, اجهضهُ عَنِ الأَمْرِ, He overcame him in contending for the thing, and made him to quit it, or put him away from it; as alsoجَهَضَهُ↓ عَنْهُ, aor. ـَ {يَجْهَضُ}. (A, Ḳ.) And قُتِلَ فُلَانٌ فَأُجْهِضَ عَنْهُ القَوْمُ Such a one was slain, and the people were overcome so that he was taken from them. (Ṣ.) And صَادَ الجَارِحَةُ الصَّيْدَ فَأَجْهَضْنَاهُ عَنْهُ The beast, or bird, of prey caught the game, and we removed him, and overcame him in contending for that which he had caught. (Ṣ, A,* Mṣb.)

اجهض is also syn. with أَعْجَلَ. (A, Ḳ.) Thus, sometimes, (Ṣ,) أَجْهَضْتُهُ عَنْ كَذَا, (Ṣ,) or عَنِ الأَمْرِ, (Mgh, TA,) signifies I hurried him so as to prevent him from doing such a thing, or the thing; (Ṣ, Mgh, TA;) and made him to quit it. (Mgh.)

You say also, اجهضهُ عَنْ مَكَانِهِ He roused him, or made him to rise, from his place. (A,* TA.) And [elliptically] أَجْهَضْنَا العَدُوَّ We roused the enemy, or made them to rise, from their places; and removed them therefrom, or made them to quit them. (Mgh.)
