حَاطَ بِهِ, aor. يَحُوطُ: see 4, in three places.

Root: حوط - Entry: 1. Signification: A2

حَاطَهُ, (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) aor. as above, (Ṣ, Mṣb,) inf. n. حَوْطٌ (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ) and حِيطَةٌ and حِيَاطَةٌ, (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA, [the second and third, in the CK, erroneously, with fet-ḥ to the ح, the former of them being expressly said in the Ṣ and TA, and the latter also in the TA, to be with kesr, and both being shown in the Ṣ to be originally with و, i. e. حِوْطَةٌ and حِوَاطَةٌ,]) and حِيَاطٌ is used in poetry for the last of these; (TA;) andحوّطهُ↓, (Ḳ,) inf. n. تَحْوِيطٌ; (TA;) andتحوّطهُ↓; (Ḳ, TA; [omitted in the CK;]) He guarded, kept, kept safely, protected, or took care of, him, or it; (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ, TA;) he defended him, or it; (TA;) he paid frequent attention to him, or it; (Ḳ, TA;) he minded, or was regardful of, the things that were for his, or its, good. (TA.) You say, لَا زِلْتَ فِى حِيَاطَةِ ٱللّٰهِ Mayest thou not cease to be in the protection of God. (TA.) And مَعَ فُلَانٍ حِيطَةٌ لَكَ There is with such a one compassion and affection for thee: you should not say عَلَيْكَ. (Ṣ.) And أَحُوطُ عِرْضِى [I guard, or defend, or take care of, my honour, or reputation]. (TA.) Andهُوَ يَتَحَوَّطُ↓ أَخَاهُ He takes care of, or pays frequent attention to, his brother; and undertakes, or superintends, or manages, his affairs. (TA.) And حَاطَهُمْ قَصَآءَهُمْ and بِقَصَائِهِمْ He fought in their defence. (TA.) [But this is generally meant ironically.] When an affliction befalls thee, and thy brother does not guard thee, or defend thee, and does not aid thee, one says [to thee], حَاطَكَ الفَضَآءَ [so in the TA, app. a mistranscription for القَصَآءَ or القَصَا, with which, however, it is nearly syn.,] which is used ironically; i. e. He guarded thee, or defended thee, in a distant quarter; meaning, ‡ he did not guard thee, or defend thee; for he who guards, or defends, his brother, draws near to him, and supports him, or aids him. (A, TA.) [See also 1 in art. حبو.] You say also, حَاطُونَا القَصَآءَ, (Ḳ,) or القَصَا, (TḲ,) [both are said to be correct in the TA in art. قصو, on the authority of Ibn-Wellád,] in some of the copies of the Ḳ with ف and ض, and in some with ف and ض, the latter unpointed, and so in [a copy of] the A, (TA,)They retired to a distance from us, they being around us, and we not being distant from them, had they desired to come to us. (Ḳ, TA.) And حُطْنِى القَصَاRetire thou to a distance from me; (Ibn-Wellád, and Ḳ in art. قصو;) as also القَصَآءَ. (Ibn-Wellád, and TA in that art.) And لَأَحُوطَنَّكَ القَصَا وَلَأَغْزُوَنَّكَ بِالعَصَا, in each case with the short & ا, meaning I will assuredly leave thee, and not go near thee; [and I will assuredly go against thee to fight thee with the staff.] (Ks, TA in art. قصو.) حُطْ حُطْ means Take thou care of the tie of kindred, and preserve it. (IAạr, Ḳ.*) It also signifies Deck thou the boys (الصِّبْيَة [in the CK الصَّبِيَّة the girl]) with the حَوْط [for preservation from the evil eye]. (IAạr, Ḳ.) And حُوطُوا غُلَامَكُمْ Deck ye your boy with the حَوْط. (AA.)

Root: حوط - Entry: 2. Signification: A3

حوّط حَائِطًا, (Ḳ,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He made a حائط [meaning either a walled garden or a wall; app. a wall of enclosure]; (Ḳ, TA;) as alsoاحاطهُ↓. (IDrd, TA.)

حاوط فُلَانًاHe endeavoured to induce such a one to turn, or incline; or endeavoured to turn him by deceit, or guile; (دَاوَرَهُ;) in a matter that he desired of him, and which he refused him: (Ḳ:) as though each of them were guarding, or taking care of, (يَحُوطُ,) the other. (Ḳ: and so in the A, in illustration of what next follows.) حَاوِطْهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَلِينُ لَكَEndeavour thou to induce him to turn, or incline; or endeavour thou to turn him by deceit, or guile; [for he will relent to thee;] syn. دَاوِرْهُ.

And احاطت الخَيْلُ بِفُلَانٍ, (Ṣ, TA,) andحَاطَتْ↓ به, (TA,) andاحتاطت↓ به, (Ṣ,) The horses, or horsemen, surrounded, encompassed, environed, encircled, or beset, such a one. (Ṣ, TA.) [And احاطوا بِهِ مِنْ جَانِبَيْهِ, meaning They surrounded him on all his sides; lit. on his two sides: see جَنْبٌ.]

It is said in the Ḳur [xvii. 62], إِنَّ رَبَّكَ أَحَاطَ بِالنَّاسِVerily thy Lord hath men in his grasp, or power: (Bḍ, TA:) or † hath destroyed them; meaning Kureysh. (Bḍ.) You say also, أُحِيطَ بِفُلَانٍ, meaning † Such a one was destroyed: or † his destruction drew near. (TA.) And hence the saying in the Ḳur [xviii. 40], وَأُحِيطَ بِثَمَرِهِAnd its fruit became smitten by that which destroyed and spoiled it: (TA:) or † his possessions became destroyed: from أَحَاطَ بِهِ العَدُوُّ [the enemy surrounded him].

(Ḳ, accord. to different copies. [In the CK, اَحْصٰى عِلْمُهُ is put, erroneously, for احصى عِلْمَهُ.]) It is said in the Ḳur [xxvii. 22], أَحَطْتُ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِI have known in all its circumstances, or modes, that which thou hast not so known.

(TA.) [See also تَحْوِيطَةٌ.]

حُوَاطٌ

حُوَاطٌ: see what next follows.


حُوَاطَةٌ

حُوَاطَةٌ An enclosure (حَظِيرَة) made for wheat: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) or it signifies a thing which one soon quits, or relinquishes, or from which one soon abstains; and soحُوَاطٌ↓, as occurring [accord. to one relation] in a verse cited voce عُرْسٌ. (L.)


حَيِّطٌ

حَيِّطٌ, [originally either حَوِيطٌ or حَيْوِطٌ,] like سَيِّدٌ, A man who guards, protects, or defends, (يَحُوطُ,) his family and his brethren. (TA.)


[حَوَّاطٌ]

[حَوَّاطٌ A monopolizer: so in the present day.]

حَوَّاطُ أَمْرٍThe undertakers, superintendents, or managers, of an affair. (Ḳ, TA.) [See a verse cited voce عُرْسٌ.]


حَائِطٌ

حَائِطٌ A wall. (Mṣb,* Ḳ, TA:) or a wall of enclosure: (Mṣb,* TA:) or one that surrounds a garden: (Mgh:) [often applied to a fence of wood, or sticks, or of reeds, or canes:] so called because it surrounds what is within it; (TA;) but it is a subst., like سَقْفٌ and رُكْنٌ, though implying the meaning of surrounding: (IJ, TA:) or it is an act. part. n., from حَاطَ: (Mṣb:) pl. حِيطَانٌ, (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) in which the و is changed into ى because of the kesreh before it, (Ṣ,) but by rule it should be حُوطَانٌ; (Sb, Ḳ;) and حِيَاطٌ. (IAạr, Ḳ.)

Root: حوط - Entry: حَائِطٌ Signification: A2

And hence, (Mgh,) A garden, (Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ,) in general: or a garden of palmtrees, surrounded by a wall: (TA:) pl. حَوَائِطُ. (Mṣb, TA.)


الأَحْوَطَ

اِفْعَلِ الأَحْوَطَDo thou that which is most comprehensive in relation to the principles of the ordinances [applying to the case], (مَا هُوَ أَجْمَعُ لِأُصُولِ الأَحْكَامِ,) and furthest from the sophistications of interpretations not according to the obvious meanings. (Mṣb.) And هٰذَا أَحْوَطُThis is more, or most, conducive to put [one] in a position of اِحْتِيَاط [or taking the course prescribed by prudence, precaution, or good judgment;, &c.: see 8]. (Mgh.) The word أَحْوَطُ is from the phrase حَاطَ الحِمَارُ عَانَتَهُ; not from الاِحْتِيَاطُ; because the افعل of excess is not formed from a verb of five letters: (Mṣb:) or it is anomalous, like أَخْصَرُ from الاِخْتِصَارُ. (Mgh.) [It may be rendered More, or most, prudent: or more, or most, sure.]
