Same as تحوّل, which here means it became altered, or changed, whether in essence or in substance, or in category [or state or condition], or by saying. Er-Rāghib.

it became altered, or changed—احال

Or it is said of a man, meaning تحوّل مِنْ شَىْءٍ إِلَى شَىْءٍ [he shifted, or turned, from one thing to another]; and hence, he became a Muslim.

1.1.2it (anything) shifted, or removed, or went—حال
it moved—استحال

The synonym given is تحوّل for the one and تحرّك for the other, so in different copies of the K; accord. to the O, the former verb has both meanings; or it has the latter meaning, said of a شَخْص [i. e. a man, or person, or the figure of a thing seen from a distance]; or both verbs mean it (anything) became altered, or changed, from straightness or evenness to crookedness or unevenness.

it became uneven—استحالت

[And أَحَالَتِ الارض app. means the same.] Or استحال means it (a thing) was disposed, or about, to become altered, or changed. Er-Rāghib.

it (a thing) shifted from its way, or direction—حال

a year passed over him—حال

Said of a boy; also احول.

he remained, stayed, or dwelt, a year in the place—احال بِالمَكَانِ

the river intervened as a barrier between us, preventing us from joining—حال النَّهْرُ بَيْنَنَا
the thing intervened as an obstacle in the way to the thing—حال الشَّىْءُ دُونَ الشَّىْءِ

Between me and you, or between the two things.

So said under اِعْتَرَضَ.

And know that God comes between the man and his heart, or his secret thoughts and desire—وَٱعْلَمُوا أَنَّ ٱللّٰهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ المَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ

In the Kur 8:24. Er-Rāghib: this indicates that He turns him from his desire; or that He possesses his heart and turns it as He wills; or that a man cannot believe or disbelieve unless God wills it; or, as some say, that God destroys a man, or reduces him to the vilest condition of life, so that he may not know anything after knowing.

And an obstacle shall be made to come between them and what they eagerly desire—وَحِيلَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ بَيْنَ مَا يَشْتَهُونَ

In the same, 34:53.

1.1.8the thing poured out, or forth—حال الشَّىْءُ

Of the dialect of Temeem, accord. to Lth [but see what follows]; maṣdar حَوَلٌ.

his eye squinted—احولّت

Maṣdar اِحْوِلَالٌ.

That is: the white was apparent at the outer angle and the black next the inner angle; or the black turned towards the nose; or one of the two blacks turned towards the nose and the other towards the temple; or the black was next the outer angle; or the eye was as though it looked towards the حِجَاج [or supraorbital bone]; or the black inclined towards the outer angle. The first of these is the meaning commonly known.

But some say that حَالَتْ means it was turned from its proper state; or it is irregular.

The adjective applied to the man is أَحْوَلُ and حَوِلٌ, and that applied to the eye is حَوْلَآءُ, the plural of which, and of the masculine, is حُولٌ.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ ۖ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ ٱلْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِۦ وَأَنَّهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

O ye who believe! give your response to Allah and His Messenger, when He calleth you to that which will give you life; and know that Allah cometh in between a man and his heart, and that it is He to Whom ye shall (all) be gathered.

قَالَ سَـَٔاوِىٓ إِلَىٰ جَبَلٍ يَعْصِمُنِى مِنَ ٱلْمَآءِ ۚ قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ۚ وَحَالَ بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُغْرَقِينَ

The son replied: "I will betake myself to some mountain: it will save me from the water." Noah said: "This day nothing can save, from the command of Allah, any but those on whom He hath mercy! "And the waves came between them, and the son was among those overwhelmed in the Flood.

34:54
وَحِيلَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ مَا يَشْتَهُونَ كَمَا فُعِلَ بِأَشْيَاعِهِم مِّن قَبْلُ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ فِى شَكٍّ مُّرِيبٍۭ

And between them and their desires, is placed a barrier, as was done in the past with their partisans: for they were indeed in suspicious (disquieting) doubt.

Core sense — a year; strength, or power; the parts around a thinggenerated

1

A year. Er-Rāghib: so called with regard to its changing, and to the revolution of the sun in its places of rising and setting; or, accord. to El-Harállee, as being the period in which plants reach their full strength.

It is so called even if it has not passed, because it will be, properly speaking, a حَوْل, a maṣdar used as a simple noun.

Plural [of paucity, but also used as a plural of multitude] أَحْوَالٌ, and [of multitude] حُؤُولٌ and حُوُولٌ, the former with ء and the latter with و.

2there is no strength nor power except in, or by means of, God, the High, the Great—لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِٱللّٰهِ العَلِىِّ العَظِيمِ

Strength, power, might, or force; synonym قُوَّةٌ; also حِيلَةٌ [originally حِوْلَةٌ] and حَوْلَةٌ, or this last is the ism waḥda from حَوْلٌ. It is in the soul, the body and the acquisitions. Er-Rāghib.

Or it here means motion [see also حَوْلَةٌ], and the meaning is: there is no motion nor power, or ability, but by the will of God; or, as some say, there is no حول [i. e. changing, turning, or receding] from disobedience, and no قوّة [i. e. power] to obey, but by God's accommodating, or disposing.

3the adjacent part to which a thing may shift, or remove—حَوْلُ شَىْءِ
they sat, or we sat, around him, or it—قَعَدُوا حَوْلَهُ

Er-Rāghib. Or the surrounding parts of a thing.

Also قَعَدْنَا حَوْلَهُ; the noun is in the accusative case as an adverbial noun of place, meaning in his, or its, surrounding parts.

One says also حَوَالَهُ and حَوْلَيْهِ, dual of حَوْل, and حَوَالَيْهِ, dual of حَوَال, and أَحْوَالَهُ, plural of حَوْل, used to make the meaning stronger; but you should not say حَوَالِيهِ.

O God, be around us as our protector, and not against us—اَللّٰهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا

This occurs in a tradition about prayer.

In the commentary on the examples cited as evidence by Sb it is said that one sometimes says حَوَالَيْكَ and حَوْلَيْكَ, meaning around you in every direction, dividing the surrounding parts into two; as one says أَحَاطُوا بِهِ مِنْ جَانِبَيْهِ, without meaning that any of the surrounding parts remained empty. [See also an example under دَنْدَنَ.]

Core sense — an artifice, a device; skill in the management of affairsgenerated

1he has no way, or means, of evading it—لَا حِيلَةَ لَهُ

Originally حِوْلَةٌ (Er-Rāghib) [said to be a maṣdar; see form 8]; and حَوْلٌ and حَيْلٌ and حِوَلٌ, which is also a plural of the first, and حَوْلَةٌ and حُولَةٌ and حَوِيلٌ and حَائِلَةٌ and مَحَالَةٌ and مَحَالٌ [said to be a maṣdar] and مَحِيلَةٌ mean the same as اِحْتِيَالٌ and تَحَوُّلٌ and تَحَيُّلٌ.

[That is, a mode, or manner, of changing from one state to another, or of shifting from one thing to another; حِيلَةٌ being of the measure فِعْلَةٌ from حَالَ, like جِلْسَةٌ and the like from جَلَسَ and the like; or from تَحَوُّلٌ as synonymous with حَالَ; a mode, or means, of evading or eluding a thing, or of effecting an object; an evasion, a shift, a wile, an artifice or artful device, a machination, a trick, a plot, a stratagem, or an expedient.]

A means of effecting one's passage from what one dislikes to what one likes; art, artifice, cunning, ingenuity, or skill in the management of affairs, i. e. turning thoughts, ideas, schemes and contrivances over in the mind so as to find a way of attaining one's object; and good consideration or deliberation; and the ability to manage as one pleases, with subtlety.

Er-Rāghib: حِيلَةٌ means a means of attaining to some state secretly; and it is mostly used of that in which there is sin, or offence, or disobedience, but sometimes of that in the exercise of which there is wisdom; and hence God is described as المَحَالِ شَدِيدُ, meaning strong in attaining, secretly from men, to that in which is wisdom.

Accord. to Abu-l-Bakà, it is from التَّحَوُّلُ, because by it one shifts from one state to another, by a kind of forecast and gentleness, or delicacy, so as to change a thing from its outward appearance.

The plural of حِيلَةٌ is حِوَلٌ and حِيَلٌ [which is the most common form, and also, like حِوَلٌ, said to be synonymous with the singular] and حِيلَاتٌ.

I have no way, or means, of evading it—مَا بِيَدِى حِيلَةٌ
man becomes impotent: there is no avoiding it—المَرْءُ يَعْجِزُ لَا مَحَالَةَ
same as لَا بُدَّ: there is no avoiding it, or escaping it—لَا مَحَالَةَ مِنْهُ
