muḍāriʿـِيَفْعِلُ·ـُيَفْعُلُmaṣdarحَنِينٌ حَنَانٌ حَنٌّ

Core sense — he yearned, or longed, for him; he was merciful towards him; he turned him awaygenerated

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredhe, or his soul, yearned towards, longed for, or desired, him, or it—حَنَّ إِلَيْهِ

he was, or became, affected with [a yearning, longing, or desire, or] an intense emotion of grief or of joy; also استحنّ and تحانّ. [For an instance of its denoting an emotion of joy see حَنَّانٌ.]

he yearned towards, longed for, or desired, his home—حَنَّ إِلَى وَطَنِهِ
[she yearns towards her first, or former, husband]—تَحِنَّ إِلَى زَوْجِهَا الأَوَّلِ
she (a woman) yearned towards, longed for, or desired, her child, or children—حَنَّتْ
my heart yearned towards, longed for, or desired, him, or it, without uttering a cry or sound—حَنَّ قَلْبِى إِلَيْهِ
[I will not do it until the lizard called ضبّ yearns after the camels returning from the water; meaning I will never do it]—لَاأَفْعَلُهُ حَتَّى يَحِنَّ الضَّبُّ فِى أَثَرِ الإِبِلِ الصَّادِرَةِ

The same is said of a she-camel, meaning she yearned towards her home or her young one, and in the same way of a pigeon. But in most instances it means she (a camel) uttered a yearning cry towards her young one or her companions, or she uttered a cry with emotion after her young one. In its primary sense, she reiterated her [yearning] cry after her young one.

This is only a proverb; the ضبّ has no حَنِين, and it never goes to the water.

the lute produced plaintive sounds—حنَّ العُودُ

Or it excited lively emotions of sadness, or of mirth: see حَنَّانٌ. The same is said of a musical reed: see مُثَقَّب.

the bow twanged, or made a sound when its string had been pulled and then let go—حَنَّتِ القَوْسُ
[the brazen basin rang when it was knocked, or pecked]—حَنَّتِ الطَّسْتُ إِذَا نُقِرَتْ
[the mast creaked, or made a creaking sound]—حَنَّتِ السَّارِيَةُ

Mentioned in the article صر.

[an arrow of those used in the game called المَيْسِر produced a sound: it was not of them]—حَنَّ قِدْحُ لَيْسَ مِنْهَا

A proverb, applied to a man who claims a false origin, or who claims for himself something he has no relation to. By the قدح is meant one of the arrows of the ميسر: when this one is not of the same substance as the others, and is made to vibrate, it produces a sound different from the sounds of the others, and is known by that.

the wind made a plaintive, or moaning, or perhaps shrill, sound—حَنَّتِ الرِّيحُ

It made a sound like the حَنِين of camels; see حَنُونٌ. استحنّت means the same. See also حَنِينٌ below.

1.1.1he was merciful, compassionate, or pitiful, towards him, or it—حَنَّ عَلَيْهِ

Muḍāriʿ as above; maṣdar حَنَانٌ, حَنَّةٌ, and حَنٌّ.

he was, or became, favourably inclined towards him, or it—تحنّن
he was, or became, affectionate, or pitiful, or compassionate, towards him—تحنّن

حَنْحَنَ means the same.

she became favourably inclined, or compassionate, towards her young one—تَحَنَّنَتْ عَلَى وَلَدِهَا

Said of a camel, and of a ewe or goat.

1.1.2

See also form 2.

1.1.3he turned away from me, avoided me, or shunned me—حَنَّ عَنِّى

equivalent to صَدَّ.

So the form is irregular: by rule the muḍāriʿ should be حَنِنَ, and it is not mentioned among the exceptions. [But it seems from what follows that صَدَّ may be meant here in its transitive sense.]

1.2he turned him, or it, away, or back—حَنَّهُ

[, as appears below;]; it means صَدَّهُ and صَرَفَهُ.

turn your evil, or mischief, away from me—حُنَّ عَنِّى شَرَّكَ

.

you do not turn away from me any of your evil, or mischief—مَا تَحُنُّنِى شَيْئًا مِنْ شَرِّكَ
1.3he was, or became, possessed by a demon, or by one of the class termed الحِنّ, and so he became mad, or insane—حُنَّ

Apparently so.

حَنٌّ is synonymous with جُنُونٌ, and from this comes مَحْنُونٌ applied to a man [meaning مَجْنُونٌ].

And حَنَّ إِلَى وَطَنِهِ He yearned towards, longed for, or desired, his home. (TA.) And تَحِنَّ إِلَى زَوْجِهَا الأَوَّلِ [She yearns towards her first, or former, husband]. (TA.) And حَنَّتْ , inf. n. as above, She (a woman) yearned towards, longed for, or desired, her child, or children. (Msb.) So, too, one says of a she-camel, meaning She yearned towards, longed for, or desired, her home, or her young one; and in like manner, of a pigeon: but in most instances it means she (a camel) yearned with a cry, or uttered a cry when yearning [or a yearning cry or the cry produced by yearning], towards her young one or her companions: or she uttered a cry with emotion after her young one: in its primary sense, she reiterated her [yearning] cry after her young one: but when you say, حَنَّ قَلْبِى إِلَيْهِ , you mean My heart yearned towards, longed for, or desired, him, or it, without the uttering of a cry or sound. (TA.) They said also, لَاأَفْعَلُهُ حَتَّى يَحِنَّ الضَّبُّ فِى أَثَرِ الإِبِلِ الصَّادِرَةِ [I will not do it until the lizard called ضبّ yearn after the camels returning from the water; meaning I will never do it]: this is only a prov.; for the ضبّ has no حَنِين nor does it ever go to the water.

(S.) And حَنَّتِ الطَّسْتُ إِذَا نُقِرَتْ [The brazen basin rang when it was knocked, or pecked]. (TA.) And حَنَّتِ السَّارِيَةُ [The mast creaked, or made a creaking sound]. (TA in art. صر .) And حَنَّ قِدْحُ لَيْسَ مِنْهَا [An arrow of those used in the game called المَيْسِر produced a sound: it was not of them]: a prov., applied to a man who ascribes to himself a false origin, or who arrogates to himself that to which he has no relation: by the قدح is meant one of the arrows of the ميسر ; for when this is not of the same substance as the others, and is made to vibrate, it produces a sound different from the sounds of the others, and is known thereby. (TA. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 341.]) And حَنَّتِ الرِّيحُ and استحنّت [The wind made a plaintive, or moaning, or perhaps a shrill, sound; made a sound like the حَنِين of camels: see حَنُونٌ ]: both signify the same. (TA.) [See also حَنِينٌ , below.] حَنَّ عَلَيْهِ , (S, Msb, TA,) aor. as above, (S, Msb,) inf. n. حَنَانٌ (S, Msb, K *) and حَنَّةٌ (Msb, TA *) and حَنٌّ , (K, * TA,) He was merciful, compassionate, or pitiful, towards him, or it; (S, Msb, K, * TA:) as also تحنّن : (S, K:) he was, or became, favourably inclined towards him, or it; (Msb;) and so تحنّن : (TA:) he was, or became, affectionate, or pitiful, or compassionate, towards him; (K, * TA;) as also حَنْحَنَ . (IAar, Az, K.) And تَحَنَّنَتْ عَلَى وَلَدِهَا She (a camel, and a ewe or goat,) became favourably inclined, or compassionate, towards her young one. (Lh, TA.) See also 2. حَنَّ عَنِّى , aor. حَنُنَ , means صَدَّ ; (S;) i. e. He turned away from me, avoided me, or shunned me: so that it is anomalous; for by rule the aor. should be حَنِنَ ; and it is not mentioned among the exceptions [to the rule applying to a case of this kind]. (MF, TA.) [But it appears from what here follows that صَدَّ may perhaps be here meant to be understood in its trans. sense.] حَنَّهُ , (K,) [aor. حَنُنَ , as is shown below,] inf. n. حَنٌّ , (TA,) signifies صَدَّهُ and صَرَفَهُ [He turned him, or it, away, or back].

[ حُنَّ , inf. n. حَنٌّ , app. He was, or became, possessed by a demon, or by one of the tribe or kind or class termed الحِنّ ; and hence, he was, or became, mad, or insane: for] حَنٌّ is syn. with جُنُونٌ ; (TA as from the K; [but not in the CK nor in my MS. copy of the K;]) whence مَحْنُونٌ applied to a man [as meaning مَجْنُونٌ ].

Nounحَنَانٌ4 senses · 2 main

Core sense — mercy, compassion, pity; a quality inspiring reverence; means of subsistencegenerated

1and mercy from us—وَحَنَانًا مِنْ لَدُنَّا

Mercy, compassion, or pity; tenderness of heart, which is the same; also حِنَّةٌ, with kesr, for which the common people say حَنِّيِّةٌ; and حَنَّةٌ likewise means affection and compassion.

Occurring in the Qur'ān 19:14; 'Ikrimeh relates that I 'Ab said, I do not know what الحَنَانُ means.

[I beg your mercy, my Lord]—حَنَانَكَ يَا رَبِّ
[I beg your mercy, my Lord]—حَنَانَيْكَ

Both mean the same, that is, رَحْمَتَكَ; and this second is the expression in common use. A 'Obeyd.

Or rather it means: have mercy on me time after time, and with mercy after mercy. It is a dualized maṣdar whose verb is not expressed, like لَبَّيْكَ and سَعْدَيْكَ. Or it means: let your mercy be continuous to me; whenever I receive mercy and good from You, let it not cease, but be joined with other mercy from You. Suh: the dual form is not to be understood as restricting the meaning to two.

mercy—حَنًانًا
[I declare the absolute purity, or perfection, or glory, of God,] and I beg his mercy—سُبْحَانَ ٱللّٰهِ وَحَنَانَيْهِ

The word is used in this form only as a prefixed noun, but sometimes they said it in the singular, without prefixing it.

Just as they said سُبْحَانَ ٱللّٰهِ وَرَيْحَانَهُ.

[I seek the protection, or preservation, of God]—حَنَانَ ٱللّٰهِ

Meaning مَعَاذَ ٱللّٰهِ.

1.1[means of subsistence, and the like]—رِزْقٌ
[a blessing; any good that is bestowed by God; prosperity, or good fortune; increase]—بَرَكَةٌ
1.2you do not see him to have any quality inspiring reverence—مَاتَرَى لَهُ حَنَانًا

El-Umawee.

El-Umawee: a quality inspiring reverence, veneration, respect, or honour; gravity, staidness, or sedateness.

2

Evil, or mischief, that continues long.

Mercy, compassion, or pity: (S, K:) tenderness of heart; (K;) which is the same; (TA;) as also حِنَّةٌ , with kesr; (Kr, TA;) for which the vulgar say حَنِّيِّةٌ : (TA:) and حَنَّةٌ [in like manner] signifies affection, and compassion. (Az, TA.) وَحَنَانًا مِنْ لَدُنَّا , in the Kur [xix. 14], respecting which I 'Ab is related by 'Ikrimeh to have said, I know not what is الحَنَانُ , means And mercy from us. (S, TA.) The Arabs say, حَنَانَكَ يَا رَبِّ and حَنَانَيْكَ [I beg thy mercy, O my Lord]: both signify the same; i. e. رَحْمَتَكَ : (S:) the latter is the expression commonly used: (A 'Obeyd, in a marginal note in a copy of the S:) or [rather] the latter means have mercy on me time after time, and with mercy after mercy: (K, * TA:) it is a dualized inf. n., of which the verb is not expressed; like لَبَّيْكَ and سَعْدَيْكَ : (TA:) or it means [let thy mercy be continuous to me;] whenever I receive mercy and good from Thee, let it not cease, but be conjoined with other mercy from Thee: (ISd, TA:) the dual form is not to be understood as restricting the signification to duality: (Suh, TA:) the word is not used in this form otherwise than as a prefixed noun: (Sb, TA:) but sometimes they said حَنًانًا , in the sing., without prefixing it. (ISd, TA.) They said also, سُبْحَانَ ٱللّٰهِ وَحَنَانَيْهِ meaning [I extol, or celebrate, or declare, the absolute purity, or perfection, or glory, of God,] and I beg his mercy; like as they said, سُبْحَانَ ٱللّٰهِ وَرَيْحَانَهُ .

One says, مَاتَرَى لَهُ حَنَانًا Thou seest him not to possess any quality inspiring reverence &c. (El-Umawee, TA.) Evil, or mischief, long continuing. (K.)

1figurative · مجاز — inferred[a wind that has a plaintive, or moaning, or perhaps shrill, sound]—رِيحٌ لَهَا حَنِينٌ كَحَنِينِ الإِبِلِ

A maṣdar of form 1. A yearning, longing, or desire; a yearning, or longing, of the soul; or the expression of pain arising from yearning or longing or desire; violence of weeping; and a lively emotion; or the sound produced by such emotion, coming from grief or from joy; or a sound proceeding from the bosom when weeping.

خَنِينٌ is from the nose. Or this word is [a sound] without weeping and without tears; if it is with weeping, it is termed خَنِينٌ.

Er-Rāghib: or it is a yearning, or longing, or desire, with affection, or pity, or compassion, as when one speaks of the حنين of a woman and of a she-camel for her young one; and sometimes this is accompanied by a sound, or cry, so that it is explained as a sound, or cry, indicating yearning or longing or desire, and affection or pity or compassion; and sometimes it is confined to the form, as in the case of the حنين [or leaning, or inclining] of the trunk of a palm-tree [which is mentioned in a tradition].

The حنين of the she-camel is her cry in her yearning towards her young one; or her yearning towards her young one with a cry, and without a cry, mostly with a cry; originally, her reiterating her [yearning] cry after her young one.

Like the حنين of camels.
