muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُmaṣdarحُدُوثٌ

Core sense — it was new, or recent; it came into existence, it begangenerated

1.1a vice, or fault, or the like, originated in him, not having been there before—حَدَثَ بِهِ عَيْبٌ

maṣdar حُدُوثٌ and حَدَاثَةٌ.

It was new, or recent, the opposite of قَدُمَ: it came into existence, began to be, had a beginning, existed newly for the first time, not having been before.

But when mentioned together with قَدُمَ it is written حَدُثَ, with damm to the د, as in the saying أَخَذَنِى مَا قَدُمَ وَمَاحَدُثَ, or أَخَذَهُ الخ, meaning old and new anxieties and thoughts [came into my mind, or his mind, or overcame me, or him], or old and new griefs or sorrows. The first of these sayings occurs in a tradition; the verb takes this form in no other case [in this sense].

an affair, or event, originated, or came to pass—حَدَثَ أَمْرٌ

حُدُوثٌ is of two kinds: حُدُوثٌ زَمَانِىٌّ, a thing's being preceded by non-existence; and حُدُوثٌ ذَاتِىٌّ, a thing's being dependent upon another for its existence.

1innovations of people of erroneous opinions, inconsistent with the doctrines, or practices, of the just of earlier times—مُحْدَثَاتُ الأُمُورِ

A novelty, or new thing; an innovation; a thing not known before; particularly relating to El-Islám [i.e. to matters of religious doctrine or practice or the like]. And أَمْرٌ مُحْدَثٌ is used in the same way.

Plural of مُحْدَثٌ. Or the meaning is: what is not known in revealed scripture, nor in the Sunna, nor in the general conventional tenets of the doctors of the law.

an innovation that is disapproved, not agreeable with custom or usage, and not known in the Sunna—حَدَثٌ
he entertained an innovation—آوَى مُحْدَثًا

Occurring in a tradition; that is, he embraced, or held, it; or he was content, or pleased, with it; or he bore it patiently. Or, as some say, the word is آوَى مُحْدِثًا, meaning he harboured a criminal, or an offender, in his dwelling, and protected him from retaliation.

1.1an accident, an event, a hap, or a casualty; and generally an evil accident, a mishap, a misfortune, a disaster, a calamity, or an affliction—حَادِثَةٌ

The same as حَدَثَانٌ [in some copies of the S حِدْثَان] and حُدْثَى.

The most common of these words is حَادِثَةٌ, and its plural, حَوَادِثُ, is more common than the singular. The plural of حَدَثٌ is أَحْدَاثٌ.

the accidents, or casualties, of time or fortune; the evil accidents, or calamities, of time or fortune—أَحْدَاثُ الدَّهْرِ

Also حَوَادِثُهُ and حِدْثَانُهُ; or, as Fr and others say, this last is حَدَثَانُهُ.

حَوَادِثُ occurs used as a singular, said to be put by poetic licence for حَدَثَانٌ; and this latter is also used [as a plural] for حَوَادِثُ, so say Az and AAF; and it is said to be a noun in the sense of حَوَادِثُ الدَّهْرِ and نَوَائِبُ الدَّهْرِ.

the accidents, or evil accidents, of time, or fortune, destroyed us—أَهْلَكَتْنَا الحَدَثَانُ

Fr: the Arabs say this, using it as a plural.

Some say الحَدَثَانِ, making it the dual of حَدَثٌ and meaning by it the night and day, as they say [in the same sense] الجَدِيدَانِ and المَلَوَانِ and so forth.

1.2the maṣdar—حَدَثٌ

Sb applies this term to the مَصْدَر, because all مصادِر are [significant of] accidents [considered as subsisting in, or proceeding from, agents]; and the plural he assigns to it in this sense is أَحْدَاثٌ.

1.3figurative · مجاز — inferredthe voiding of ordure; or the breaking of wind—إِبْدَآءٌ

Or legal impurity that forbids, or prevents, one's performing prayer and the like; or a state annulling legal purity. Plural أَحْدَاثٌ. [See form 4.]

Young, applied to a man, and to a horse or an ass or the like, and a camel, and, according to IAar, to a mountain-goat. Plural أَحْدَاثٌ and حُدْثَانٌ.

Also حَدِيثُ السِّنِّ and حَدَثُ السِّنّ, according to IDrd, though some disallow the last.

young men—غِلْمَانٌ أَحْدَاثٌ

In the plural sense one says also حُدْثَانٌ [these two being plurals of حَدَثٌ], and رِجَالٌ أَحْدَاثُ السِّنِّ and حُدْثَانُ السِّنِّ [which are not allowable], and حُدَثَآءُ السِّنِّ [plural of حَدِيثٌ].

young of tooth—حَدِيثُ السِّنِّ

J says that if you mention the سِنّ you say this.

IDrst says that the vulgar say هُوَ حَدَثُ السِّنِّ, as one says حديث السِّنِّ, but this is a mistake: حَدَثٌ is an adjective applied to the man himself, and is originally a maṣdar; it should not be applied as an adjective to the سِنّ, nor to the ضِرْس, nor to the ناب. But حَدِيثٌ is an adjective applied to anything recent.

1figurative · مجاز — inferreddo that thing while it is in its first and fresh state—اِفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ الأَمْرَ بِحِدْثَانِهِ

Nounحَدِيثٌ5 senses · 2 main

Core sense — new, recent; a story, or piece of news; a tradition of the Prophetgenerated

1brought into existence, made, produced, or done newly, for the first time, not having been before; begun, originated, invented—حَادِثٌ

New, recent, the opposite of قَدِيمٌ; having, or having had, a beginning; existing newly, for the first time, not having been before.

Also مُحْدَثٌ.

1.1he is, or was, recently become a Muslim—هُوَ حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِالإِسْلَامِ

See حَدَثٌ, last two sentences, in four places; and see حِدْثَانٌ.

men lately in their state of unbelief [or of paganism or ignorance], who have but recently ceased to be in it—حَدِيثُو عَهْدٍ بِكُفْرِهِمْ

Also بِالجَاهِلِيَّةِ, or حَدِيثٌ عَهْدُهُمْ.

2figurative · مجازI heard a good story, or narrative—سَمِعْتُ حَدِيثًا حَسَنًا

The same as خَبَرٌ: information, a piece of information, intelligence, an announcement, news, an account, a narration, a story, and the like; used of little and much. حِدِّيثَى means the same.

Or a thing, or matter, that is talked of, told, or narrated, and transmitted; and talk, or discourse. In the same way أُحْدُوثَةٌ means a thing that is talked of, told, or narrated; or, some say, a wonderful thing.

MF: it has been asserted that there is no difference between احدوثة and حديث in usage, or in denoting what is good and what is evil, against those who say that the former means specially the kind of story in which there is no profit and no truth, such as amatory stories and the like fictions of the Arabs. Fr asserts that it means specially a laughable and absurd story, differing from حديث. Ibn-Hishām El-Lakhmee, in his commentary on the Fs, says that it is used only of what is bad, or evil; but Lb replies against him, in his commentary, that it is sometimes used of what is good, as in a saying mentioned by Yaakoob.

The plural of حَدِيثٌ is أَحَادِيثُ, against analogy; Fr says it is the plural of أُحْدُوثَةٌ, then used as the plural of حديث, but IB says that this is not so. حِدْثَانٌ and حُدْثَانٌ also occur as plurals of حديث, the latter rarely.

Also حِدِّيثَى حَسَنَةً; both mean the same.

a good story of him became spread abroad among the people—اِنْتَشَرَ لَهُ فِى النَّاسِ أُحْدُوثَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ
a pretty story—أثحْدُوثَةٌ مَلِيحَةٌ
pretty stories—أَحَادِيثُ مِلَاحٌ
such a one has become the subject of a story, or of a wonderful story—قَدْ صَارَ فُلَانٌ أَحْدُوثَةً

A saying mentioned by Yaakoob in his Iṣlāḥ.

In the same way, as is said in the A, صَارُوا أَحَادِيثَ, there said to be figurative.

2.1a tradition, or narration, relating a saying or an action of Mohammad—حَدِيثٌ

Hence the حَدِيث of the Apostle of God.

That is, a narration of a مُحَدِّث [meaning حَدِيثٌ نَبَوِىٌّ].

This word and خَبَرٌ both mean a tradition that is traced up to Mohammad, or to a Companion, or to a Tābiʿī.

Or حديث is applied to what comes from the Prophet, خَبَرٌ to what comes from another than the Prophet, or from him or another, and أَثَرٌ to what comes from a Companion of the Prophet; but this last may also be applied to a saying of the Prophet.

The word in this sense, the حديث of the Prophet, has for its plural only أَحَادِيثُ, and Sb therefore mentions it among the words that have irregularly formed plurals, such as عَرُوضٌ, plural أَعَارِيضُ, and بَاطِلٌ, plural أَبَاطِيلُ.

[الحَدِيثَ written at the end of a quotation of part of a tradition stands for اِقْرَأِ الحَدِيثَ, Read the tradition.]

2.2a holy tradition, or narration—حَدِيثٌ قُدْسِىٌّ

What God has told to his prophet by inspiration, or by a dream, or in sleep, and the prophet has told in his own wording. The Qur-án is esteemed above this, because [it is held that] its words also were revealed; whereas in this the words are from the apostle, but the meaning is from God, by inspiration, or by a dream, or in sleep.

(TA.) You say, سَمِعْتُ حَدِيثًا حَسَنًا (TA) and حِدِّيثَى حَسَنَةً (S, A, * TA) [I heard a good story or narrative &c.]; both meaning the same. (TA.)
