1

A thing intervening as a separation, a partition, a fence, a barrier, or an obstacle between two other things, or between two things facing each other; also حِجَازٌ.

Hence the province called El-Hijáz is so named, because it forms a separation between Nejd and the Ghowr; or between Nejd and the Saráh; or between the Ghowr and Syria and the Bádiyeh; or between Nejd and Tihámeh; or because the Hirár [certain stony tracts] separate it from the high part of Nejd; or because it is encompassed by the Hirár and the mountains, or by the five Hirár, namely the Harrah of Benoo-Suleym, that of Wákim, that of Leylà, that of Showrán, and that of En-Nár.

Also the singular of حَجَزَةٌ, which means wrongers, or wrongdoers, who prevent a person from obtaining his right; or persons who defend men, one from another, and decide between them justly.

is the son of this woman to be blamed for deciding the affair himself?—أَيُلَامُ ٱبْنُ ذِهْ أَنْ يَفصِلَ الخُطَّةَ مِنْ وَرَآءِ الحَجَزَة

In the K the meaning "wrongers, or wrongdoers" is combined with the contrary explanation given by Az.

From a tradition of Keyleh; the wrongdoers being those who prevent him from obtaining his right.

According to one relation, that is, in the absence of those who defend men, one from another, and decide between them justly.

By "the son of this woman" she means her own son. She says that if he suffers a wrong, and alleges for himself what repels the wrong from him, [without having recourse to the judge,] he is not to be blamed. [See also خُطَّةٌ.]

Qur’ānic occurrences حَاجِز

Or, Who has made the earth firm to live in; made rivers in its midst; set thereon mountains immovable; and made a separating bar between the two bodies of flowing water? (can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay, most of them know not.
