muḍāriʿـِيَفْعِلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُ·ـُيَفْعُلُmaṣdarحِسٌّ حَسٌّ

Core sense — he perceived it; he felt for him; he slew them; he curried the beastgenerated

1.1

حَسَّ (first person حَسِسْتُ or حَسَسْتُ and حَسِيتُ and حَسَيْتُ and حَسْتُ), as a synonym of أَحَسَّ: see Form 4, throughout.

1.1.1he was, or became, tender, or compassionate, towards him—حَسَّ لَهُ

First person حَسَسْتُ; also first person حَسِسْتُ (Yaakoob); or the latter is the maṣdar of both verbs, while the former is a simple substantive.

Literally, he felt for him.

ISd says that for رَقَقْتُ لَهُ, the explanation of حسستُ له, he found the verb written in the book of Kr with ف and ق, but that the former [?] is the right one.

Or he lamented for him (Aboo-Málik); as also حَسْحَسَ لَهُ.

the ʿĀmiree really is tender, or compassionate, towards the Saʿdee—إِنَّ العَامِرِىَّ لَيَحِسُّ لِلسَّعْدِىِّ
I have not seen an ʿOkeylee without feeling tenderness, or compassion, towards him—مَارَأَيْتُ عُقَيْلِيًّا إِلَّا حَسَسْتُ لَهُ

The Arabs say this because of the relationship between the two tribes.

So said Abu-l-Jarráh El-ʿOkeylee, for the same reason.

[See حَاسَّةٌ, second meaning.]

1.2he made his حِسّ [i. e. sound, or motion,] cease—حَسَّهُ

[.]

Lane cites “Bd in iii. 145” — a commentary, not the verse; no modern number is given
1.2.1he slew them, and rooted them out—حَسَّهُمْ

[and apparently, according to Fr, حِسٌّ, though this may be a simple substantive].

Or he slew them quickly; or he rooted them out by slaughter (Aboo-Is-hák); or he slew them with a quick and destroying slaughter; or with a violent slaughter.

It occurs in the Kur 3:145. According to Fr, حِسٌّ in this instance is the act of slaying and destroying.

[Hence حُسَّ seems to mean it was utterly destroyed, so that nothing was left in its place; and so does احتسّ, for it is said that حِسٌّ and اِحْتِسَاسٌ, said of anything, mean أَنْ لَا يُتْرَكَ فِى المَكَانِ شَىْءٌ.]

he trod them under foot, and despised them—حَسَّهُمْ

Muḍāriʿ as above.

Among you are some that hanker after this world and some that desire the Hereafter.

Form 4احسّ الشَّىْءَ1 sense
maṣdarإِحْسَاسٌ حَسٌّ حِسٌّ

Core sense — he perceived it, he became sensible of it, he knew itgenerated

4.1he perceived him, or it, with his eye—احسّهُ بِعَيْنِهِ

he perceived, or became sensible of, the حِسّ (i. e. the motion or sound) of the thing; he knew the thing by means of [any of] the senses.

So IAth, according to his explanation of الإِحْسَاسُ as meaning العِلْمُ بِالحَوَاسِّ.

He ascertained the thing as one ascertains a thing that is perceived by the senses; he knew the thing, or perceived it by means of any of the senses; synonymous with عَلِمَ بِهِ, عَلِمَهُ, عَرَفَهُ, and شَعَرَ بِهِ.

Also حَسَّهُ, and حَسِيسٌ.

This is the TA's explanation of the statement in the K that حَسَسْتُ الشَّىْءَ [in the CK erroneously حَسَّسْتُ] means the same as أَحْسَسْتُهُ.

In the same way احسّ بِهِ is synonymous with شَعَرَ بِهِ, and so is حَسَّ بِهِ, and حَسِيسٌ; or حِسٌّ is a simple substantive.

According to Fr, إِحْسَاسٌ is synonymous with وُجُودٌ; and Zj says that the meaning of احسّ is عَلِمَ.

وَجَدَ, or احسّ, means he perceived, or became sensible of (synonymous with وَجَدَ); and he thought, or was of opinion; and he saw (synonymous with أَبْصَرَ); and he knew: in these senses it is transitive by itself, or by means of بِ.

أَحْسَسْتُ بِهِ means I knew it certainly, was sure of it; as also حَسِسْتُ به, with kesr, said of news, or tidings.

For أَحْسَسْتُ some say أَحْسَيْتُ, changing the [second] س into ى; and أَحَسْتُ, with a single س, which is an unusual kind of contraction, though it is made in all other similar cases, where the last radical letter is sākin.

And for أَحْسَسْنَ we find أَحَسْنَ; and in the same way, for حَسِسْتُ or حَسَسْتُ some say حَسِيتُ and حَسَّيْتُ [in the CK حَسْتُ, which is the modern vulgar form]; Abu-l-Hasan gives also حَسْتُ.

So Ibn-Zekereeyà, in the TA under جس; and حَسَّهُ is used likewise.

[In the present article in the TA it is said that حَسَّهُ بالنصل is synonymous with أَحَسَّهُ, but بالنّصل is evidently a mistranscription for بِالبَصَرِ.]

and when Jesus ascertained their unbelief as one ascertains a thing perceived by the senses—فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ عِيسَى مِنْهُمُ الكُفْرَ
do you see any one of them?—هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ
have you known the news?—هَلْ أَحْسَسْتَ الخَبَرَ
I knew the news certainly—أَحْسَسْتُ بِالخَبَرِ

Kur 3:45. Or the meaning is: he opined it; or he perceived it, or became sensible of it; or he saw it; or he knew it, or perceived it by the senses.

Kur 19, last verse.

Also أَحْسَيْتُ بِهِ, حَسِسْتُ به, and حَسِيتُ به.

I knew something of the news—أَحْسَسْتُ الخَبَرَ

Also أَحَسْتُهُ, حَسِيتُهُ, and حَسْتُهُ.

And مَا أَحْسَسْتُ بِاخَبَرِ and اَحَسْتُ بِه.

I did not know anything of the news—مَا

Also ما حَسِيتُ به and ما حَسْتُ.

Core sense — he listened; he sought after news, time after timegenerated

5.1he asked, or inquired, after news of the thing—تحسّس مِنَ الشَّيْءِ

He listened to people's talk (El-Harbee). According to Aboo-Moʿádh, it is similar to تَسَمَّعَ and تَبَصَّرَ.

Or he sought after, or sought after repeatedly, news of a people in a good cause, تجسّس meaning the doing of the same in an evil cause.

Core sense — a faculty of sense; a low, faint sound; motiongenerated

1

According to some, a substantive from Form 1, in several of the senses explained above; according to others, a maṣdar.

As a simple substantive it is often used as synonymous with حَاسَّةٌ in the first of the meanings given to that word below; that is, a sense, a faculty of sense — as, for instance, in the K under سمع.

1.1

Hence الحِسُّ المُشْتَرَكُ: see the article شرك.

2they shall not hear its low sound—لَا يَسْمَعُونَ حَسِيسَهَا

A sound; or a low, faint, gentle, or soft sound; as also حَسِيسٌ.

In the present day it often means the voice of a man or woman, and particularly when soft.

A plaintive voice or sound, in singing or weeping, and such as that of a lute; synonymous with رَنَّهٌ, or حَسِيسٌ, [or both,] the sound by which a thing is perceived.

It also means motion; and the passing of anything near by one, so that one hears it without seeing it; as also حَسِيسٌ.

Kur 21:102 — meaning that of hellfire; or the sound by which it shall be perceived; or the motion of its flaming.

and he heard the motion, and the sound of the passing along, of a serpent—فَسَمِعَ حِسَّ حَيَّةٍ
he heard no motion, nor any sound, of him, or it—مَا سَمِعَ لَهُ حِسًّا وَلَا جِرْسًا

It may refer to a man and to other things, such as wind.

Lane cites “Bd in xxi. 102” — a commentary, not the verse; no modern number is given
3

A pain that attacks a woman after childbirth, in the womb; or the pain of childbirth, when it is first felt. The first meaning is confirmed by a tradition.

3.1the beginning of fever, when it is first felt—حشسُّ الحُمَّى

Also حِسَاسُهَا; or حِسٌّ means a touch, or slight attack, of fever at its very beginning.

4

Cold that nips, shrivels, or blasts (literally, burns, يُحْرقُ, for which the TA substitutes يَقْطَعُ) the herbage.

[See also حَاسَّةٌ.]
