1

This word and حَرَجٌ: a strait, narrow, confined, or close place; or strait, narrow, or close in the utmost degree; or a close place abounding with trees and impenetrable to the pasturing animals.

حَرِيجٌ also, applied to a place, means the same as حَرِجٌ.

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferreda bosom strait, or contracted, not expanded by what is good—صَدْرٌ حَرِجٌ

Also حَرَجٌ, like وَحِدٌ and وَحَدٌ and فَرِدٌ and فَرَدٌ and دَنِفٌ and دَنَفٌ.

يَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهُ ضَيِّقًا حَرِجًا, or حَرَجًا, according to different readings [in the Qur'ān 6:125], is explained by I 'Ab as meaning: He will make his bosom strait, impenetrable to wisdom.

Qur’ān 6:125 matched to Lane’s own quotation of it Lane cites “Kur vi. 125”
Qur’ān 6:125 Lane quotes this verse
فَمَن يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَهْدِيَهُۥ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُۥ لِلْإِسْلَـٰمِ ۖ وَمَن يُرِدْ أَن يُضِلَّهُۥ يَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهُۥ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجًا كَأَنَّمَا يَصَّعَّدُ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَجْعَلُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّجْسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Those whom Allah (in His plan) willeth to guide,- He openeth their breast to Islam; those whom He willeth to leave straying,- He maketh their breast close and constricted, as if they had to climb up to the skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to believe.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.2a man having a strait, or contracted, bosom, which does not expand by what is good—حَرِجٌ

Also حَرَجٌ in the same sense.

The former has a dual and a plural, but the latter has only the singular form, because it is [properly, or originally,] a maṣdar. Zj says that the former is an ism fāʿil, and that by the latter is meant ذُو حَرَجٍ.

1.3figurative · مجاز — inferred

And the former: one who fears, or dreads, to venture upon an affair.

1.4figurative · مجاز — inferred

And: that seldom, or never, withdraws from fight; that will not be put to flight, as though it were difficult for him to find an excuse for being put to flight.

1.5

And: committing a sin, a crime, or an act of disobedience deserving punishment; and so حَارِجٌ, which ISd thinks is formed like a relative noun, because it has no corresponding verb [of which it could be counted the ism fāʿil, the regular ism fāʿil being حَرِجٌ, as حَرِجَ is intransitive].

1.6figurative · مجاز — inferred

Also: abstaining from sin, or crime; and so حَرَجٌ and مُتَحَرِّجٌ. [The word thus bears two opposite meanings. See form 5.]

1.7figurative · مجازwronging you is forbidden, or prohibited, to me—ظُلْمُكَ عَلَىَّ حَرِجٌ
