And حاذ الحِمَارُ أُتُنَهُ The he-ass gained the mastery over his she-asses, and collected them together; like حازها : (L:) [and so أَحْوَذَ جَانِبَيْهَا :] Lebeed says, 1 [When they became collected together, and he gained the mastery over their flanks, or] drew them together so that not one of them escaped him, [and brought them to the watering-place, galloping upon long crooked legs; for] by عوج he means [crooked] legs. (S, L.) إِشَا Lجْتَمَعَتن وَأَحْوَشَ جَانِبَتْهَا | وَأَوْرَدَهَا عَلَى عُوجٍ طَوَالِ And [hence,] حاشهُ n. as above; (L;) and اِسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِ , (S, A, L, K, *) and استحاذ ; (S, L;) He overcame, mastered, or gained the mastery over, him, or it: (S, A, L, K:) [like حازهُ .] You say, استحوذ عَلَى كَذَا He mastered such a thing; gained the mastery over it; gained possession of it. (L.) استحوذ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ [in the Kur [viii. 20] means The devil hath overcome them, or gained the mastery over them: (S, L:) or hath gained the mastery over their hearts: (Th, L:) or hath gained the mastery over them, and inclined them to that which he desired of them: (Msb:) or drove them, having gained the mastery over them. (B.) And أَلَمْ نَسْتَحْوِذْ عَلَيْكُمْ [in the Kur iv. 140], Did we not acquire the mastery over your affairs, and gain possession of your affection? (S, L:) or did we not gain the mastery over you by befriending and aiding you? (Aboo-Ishák, L:) or did we not overcome you, and have it in our power to slay you? (Bd.) AZ says that in all verbs coordinate to استحوذ , the original letters of the root may be preserved: that the Arabs say اِسْتَصَابَ and اِسْتَصْوَبَ , and اِسْتَجَابَ and اِسْتَجْوَبَ : and that their doing so is agreeable with a rule constantly obtaining with them. (S.) The grammarians say that he who says حَاذَ , aor. يَحُوذُ , says only استحاذ ; and he who says أَحْوَذَ , says in like manner استحوذ . (L.) Also حاذ , aor. يَحُوذُ , (L,) inf. n. حَوْذٌ , (L, K,) He guarded, kept, kept safely, protected, took care of, or minded, [a person, or thing;] syn. حَاطَ , (L,) inf. n. حَوْطٌ . (L, K.)
