Core sense — he feared him, or it; he dreaded him, or it, with reverencegenerated

1.1he feared him, or it; he dreaded him, or it—خَشِيَهُ

maṣdar خَشْيَةٌ, خَشْىٌ, and خِشْىٌ [the second and third erroneously written in the CK خَشًا and, by indication, خِشًا], and also خَشَاةٌ and خَشْيَانٌ, though it has been said that the only instances of this kind are شَنْآنٌ and لَيَّانٌ [see the first of these two]; but in one copy of the M it is found written خِشْيَانٌ, and مَخْشَاةٌ, and مَخْشِيَةٌ.

He feared; synonym خَافَ. Er-Rāghib and others: he dreaded, or feared with reverence, veneration, respect, or awe.

he feared him, or it—تخشّاهُ

he feared, or dreaded, what might happen to him from him, or it—خَشِىَ مِنْهُ

he feared, or dreaded, a thing for him—خَشِىَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا

I did that in fear, or dread, that such a thing might happen—فَعَلْتُ ذٰلِكَ خَشَاةَ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَذَا

1.1.1hope—خَشَيْتُهُ

Er-Rāghib: this word also signifies hope.

[you have prayed much for death, so that] I hope [it may be easier for you when it comes]—لَقَدْ أَكْثَرْتَ مِنَ الدُّعَآءِ بِالمَوْتِ حَتَّى خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذٰلِكَ أَسْهَلَ لَكَ عِنْدَ نُزُولِهِ

The saying of Ibn-'Abbás to 'Omar, explained in this way.

1.1.2I knew, or know—خَشِيتُ

In this sense it is synonymous with عَلِمْتُ.

So it is said to mean in the saying of the poet: [And I know assuredly that he who follows the right direction will dwell in the gardens of Paradise with the Prophet Mohammad]

shāhid

وَلَقَدْ خَشِيتُ بِأَ مَنْ تَبِعَ الهُدَىسكَنَ الجِنَانَ مَعَ النَّبِىِّ مُحَمَّدِ

. Or the meaning may be, I hope.

1.1.3and we disapproved that he should bring excessive disobedience and ingratitude upon them both—فَخَشِينَا أَنْ يُرْهِقَهُمَا طُغْيَانًا وَكُفْرًا

In the Qur'ān 18:79. So Akh; and Zj says the same, explaining it as the saying of El-Khidr. Fr: the meaning is, and we knew. See also أَزْهَقَ.
