maṣdarخُلُوٌّ خَلْوَةٌ مُخَالَاةٌmuḍāriʿيَخْلُو

Core sense — it was, or became, empty, vacant; he was alone with him; it passed awaygenerated

1.1figurative · مجازit was, or became, empty, vacant, or unoccupied; it had nothing in it—اخلى

maṣdar خُلُوٌّ or خَلَآءٌ, or both. Said of a place, of a place of alighting or abode, and of a thing: it was, or became, empty, vacant, void, or unoccupied; it had nothing in it.

it was, or became, empty, vacant, or unoccupied—استخلى

خَلَا المَكَانُ مِنَ النَّاسُ وَ المَآءِ وَالكَلَأ means: the place was, or became, devoid, or destitute, of human beings, water, and herbage or pasturage.

it was, or became, devoid, or destitute, of its occupants—خَلَا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ

it was, or became, devoid, or destitute, of its occupants—اخلى

it was, or became, empty of what was in it—خَلَا مِمَّا فِيهِ

I became empty, in the belly, of food—خَلَوْتُ عَنِ الطَّعَامِ

I became empty, in the belly, of food—أَخْلَيْتُ عَنْهُ

he was, or became, free from fault, or from the thing, or affair—خَلَا مِن العَيْبِ

Said of a place of alighting or abode.

Said of a vessel.

he was, or became, free from fault, or from the thing, or affair—مِنْهُ

عَنِ الأَمْرِ is also said.

he was, or became, free from a fault, or the like, of which he was accused or suspected—خلا

she was, or became, free from any obstacle to marriage—خَلَتْ عَنْ مَانِعِ النِّكَاحِ

According to IAar, this form alone carries this meaning.

. Said of a woman.

he died—خَلَا مَكَانُهُ

So according to the K; literally, his place became vacant.

IAar: خَلَا alone has this meaning, from the same verb meaning مَضَى, explained below; but if مكانه is added, the verb takes shadda: خَلَّى, for which see below.

the thing was, or became, vacant, or unoccupied, for you—خَلَا لَكَ الشَّىْءُ

Both mean the same, that is, فَرَغَ; and hence, the thing was, or became, exclusively for you. For an example of the first verb, see a saying of Ṭarafah under جَوٌّ.

the thing was, or became, vacant, or unoccupied, for you—اخلى

AA cites as an example the saying of Maʿn Ibn-Aws: [O censurer, does their share of death come to the tribes in common, or is death exclusively for us alone?]

shāhid

أَعَاذِلُ هَلْ يَأْتِى القَبَائِلَ حَظُّهَامِنَ المَوْتِ أَمْ أَخْلَى لَنا المَوْتُ وَحْدَنَا

See also the entry below beginning with خَلَا, on this word as a marker of exception.

1.1.1he was, or became, alone, by himself—خَلَا

The same two verbs followed by بِنَفْسِهِ, said of a man, mean the same; or he became وَقَعَ in a vacant place, where he was not pressed against or straitened.

he was, or became, alone, by himself—اخلى

he was, or became, alone with him, in a place unoccupied by others—خَلَا بِهِ

Maṣdar خَلْوَةٌ, خَلَآءٌ, and خَلْوٌ or خُلُوٌّ; or the first of these, خَلْوَةٌ, is a simple noun, and the second and third are the maṣdars.

he was, or became, alone with him, in a place unoccupied by others—إِلَيْهِ

he was, or became, alone with him, in a place unoccupied by others—مَعَهُ

he met him, or had a meeting with him, in a private place—اخلى به

he met him, or had a meeting with him, in a private place—اخلاهُ

he met him, or had a meeting with him, in a private place—استخلى بِهِ

and when they are alone with their devils—وَإِذَا خَلَوْا إِلَى شَيَاطِينِهِمْ

In the Qur'ān 2:13; إِلَى is here said to be used in the sense of مَعَ, as in another saying in the Qur'ān, 3:45 and 61:14, مَنْ أَنْصَارِى إِلَى ٱللّٰهُ.

be alone with me—اُخْلُ مَعِى حَتَّى أُكَلِّمَكَ

he was, or became, alone with his wife—خَلَا بِزَوْجَتِهِ

A man says this to another so that he may speak to him in private.

though see what is said of this noun above.

In legal usage the term خَلْوَةٌ (or خَلْوَةٌ صَحِيحَةٌ in this case) is not used unless there is the enjoyment of المُفَاخَذَة (see form 3 in art. فخذ), and then it has an effect on the circumstances of the marriage, making the dowry payable although consummation has not taken place; if with consummation, the act is termed دُخُولٌ.

be alone in your affair, with no one sharing it with you—أَخْلِ أَمْرَكَ

be alone in your affair; keep to it and to nothing else—بِأَمْرِكَ

keep to your affair, and be alone in it, with no one sharing it—أَخْلِ إِلَيْكَ

he was, or became, alone in weeping, with no one joining him in it—استخلى البُكَآءُ

Apparently for بِالبُكَآءِ.

For خَلَا لِلْأَمْرِ see form 5.

he restricted himself to a portion of the food—خَلَاعَلَى بَعْضِ الطَّعَامِ

such a one fed upon milk and flesh-meat alone; he ate and mixed nothing else with them—خَلَا فُلَانٌ عَلَى اللَّبَنِ وَ اللَّحْمِ

So the tribe of Temeem say; Kināneh and Keys say أَخْلَى.

It seems to be indicated in the T that خَلَوْا means: they selected a she-camel for a خَلِيَّة; or that it is the same as تَخَلَّوْا بِخَلَيِّةٍ, for which see form 5.

1.1.2he devoted himself to religious services or exercises—خَلَا

Apparently in solitude or seclusion, or in a خَلْوَة; or because one generally does so in solitude; or because doing so involves being drawn away from other affairs.

See also form 5, and مُسْتَخْلٍ.

1.1.3figurative · مجازhe mocked at, scoffed at, laughed at, or ridiculed him—خَلَا بِهِ

Az says this is strange, and known to him on no authority but that of Lh. It comes from the saying خَلَا فُلَانٌ بِعِرْضِ فُلَانٍ يَعْبَثُ بِهِ, meaning: such a one occupied himself alone with the honour, or reputation, of such a one, making sport with it.

It also means the same as خَادَعَهُ: he deceived, deluded, beguiled, or outwitted him, or he strove to do so; and so does خالاهُ, mentioned in the K in art. خلى.

1.1.4he relied upon him—خَلَا عَلَيْهِ

As though he went to him alone; the same as اِعْتَمَدَ.

1.1.5he, or it, went, went away, or passed away—خَلَا

Maṣdar خُلُوٌّ or خَلَآءٌ. Said of a man and of a thing.

and there is no people but a warner has gone, and has been sent, among them—وَ إِنْ مِنْ أُمَّةٍإِلَّا خَلَا فِيهَا نَذِيرٌ

In the Qur'ān 35:22.

Hence also خَلَا, explained above as meaning he died.

she became old; the greater part of her life had passed—خَلَا مِنْهَا

blame passed away from you; or may blame pass away from you—خَلَاكَ ذَمٌّ

A phrase with a word left out.

For خَلَا عَنْكَ ذَمٌّ.

do such a thing, and you will have an excuse; blame will fall from you—اِفْعَلْ كَذَا وَ خَلَاكَ ذَمٌّ

See art. ذم.

grief passed away from him, and left him—خَلَاهُ الحُزْنُ

Lane cites “Bd in ii. 13” — a commentary, not the verse; no modern number is given

1.1.6

For خَلَا عَنِ الشَّىْءِ see form 2.

1.2he ate what was good, sweet, or pleasant—خَلَا

Or خَلَى; it probably belongs to art. خلى, though mentioned in the present article.

(TA.) And خَلَتْ عَنْ مَانِعِ النِّكَاحِ , inf. n. خُلُوٌّ , is said of a woman [as meaning She was, or became, free from any obstacle to marriage]. (Msb.) Accord. to the K, خَلَا مَكَانُهُ [lit. His place became vacant] means he died: but accord. to IAar, خَلَا alone has this signification [from the same verb signifying مَضَى . explained below]: and if you add مكانه , you say خَلَّى , with teshdeed; which see below. (TA.) You say also, خَلَا لَكَ الشَّىْءُ and اخلى , both signifying the same, (AA, S, TA,) i. q. فَرَغَ [i. e. The thing was, or became, vacant, or unoccupied, for thee: (see an ex. of the former verb in a saying of Tarafeh cited voce جَوٌّ :) and hence, the thing was, or became, exclusively for thee]. (TA.) AA cites as an ex. the saying of Maan Ibn-Ows, 1 [O censurer, does their share of death come to the tribes in common, or is death exclusively for us alone?]. (S, TA.) See also the paragraph, below, commencing with خَلَا as a word denoting exception. أَعَاذِلُ هَلْ يَأْتِى القَبَائِلَ حَظُّهَا | مِنَ المَوْتِ أَمْ أَخْلَى لَنا المَوْتُ وَحْدَنَا [Hence,] خَلَا and اخلى , (S, K,) said of a man, (TA,) or the same two verbs followed by بِنَفْسِهِ , said of a man, (Msb,) both signify the same; (S;) He was, or became, [without any companion, i. e.] alone, by himself; (Msb;) or he became ( وَقَعَ [q. v.]) in a vacant place, in which he was not pressed against, or straitened. (K.) And خَلَا بِهِ , (S, Msb, K,) and إِلَيْهِ , (S, K,) and مَعَهُ , (K,) inf. n. خَلْوَةٌ (S, Msb, K) and خَلَآءٌ (S, K) and خَلْوٌ , (K, TA,) or خُلُوٌّ , (CK,) or the first of these, i. e. خَلْوَةٌ , is a simple subst., and the second and third are the inf. ns.; (TA;) and اخلى به , (Lh, K,) and اخلاهُ , (S, K,) and استخلى بِهِ ; (K; [the last omitted in the CK;]) He was, or became, alone with him; (Msb;) he was, or became, in company with him, or he met him, or had a meeting or an interview with him, in a vacant place, or a place unoccupied [by others, i. e., in a private place]. (S, K.) In the saying in the Kur [ii. 13], وَإِذَا خَلَوْا إِلَى شَيَاطِينِهِمْ , it is said that إِلَى is used in the sense of مَعَ , [so that the meaning is And when they are alone with their devils,] as in that other saying in the Kur [iii. 45 and lxi. 14], مَنْ أَنْصَارِى إِلَى ٱللّٰهُ . (S.) A man says to another man, اُخْلُ مَعِى حَتَّى أُكَلِّمَكَ , i. e. Be [or come] thou alone with me [that I may speak to thee in private]. (TA.) And one says, خَلَا بِزَوْجَتِهِ , inf. n. خَلْوَةٌ , [but see what is said of this noun above,] He was, or became, alone with his wife: but [properly speaking, according to the law,] the term خَلْوَةٌ [or خَلْوَةٌ صَحِيحَةٌ , in this case,] is not used unless it be with the enjoyment of المُفَاخَذَة , [see 3 in art. فخذ ,] and then it has an effect upon the circumstances of the marriage [by its rendering obligatory the payment of the dowry, though consummation has not taken place]: if with consummation, the act is termed دُخُولٌ . (Msb.) You say also, أَخْلِ أَمْرَكَ and بِأَمْرِكَ Be thou alone in thine affair, with none to take part with thee in it; confine thyself to it exclusively of other things. (TA. [See also 5.]) And أَخْلِ إِلَيْكَ Keep thou to thine affair, and be alone in it, with none to take part with thee therein. (JK.) And استخلى البُكَآءُ [app. for بِالبُكَآءِ ] He was, or became, alone in weeping, with none to participate with him in it. (TA.) [And خَلَا لِلْأَمْرِ : see 5.] And خَلَاعَلَى بَعْضِ الطَّعَامِ He restricted himself to a portion of the food. (K.) Temeem say, خَلَا فُلَانٌ عَلَى اللَّبَنِ وَ اللَّحْمِ (JK, * TA) i. e. Such a one fed upon milk and flesh-meat alone; (JK;) or such a one ate not, nor mixed, anything with milk and flesh-meat: and Kináneh and Keys say أَخْلَى . (Lh, JK, * TA.) [And it seems to be indicated in the T that خَلَوْا signifies They selected a she-camel for a خَلِيَّة , q. v.: or i. q. تَخَلَّوْا بِخَلَيِّةٍ : see 5.] خَلَا also ssignifies He devoted himself to religious services or exercises [app. in solitude, or seclusion, or in a خَلْوَة ; or because one generally does so in solitude; or because the doing so involves abstraction from other affairs]. (TA. [See also 5; and see مُسْتَخْلٍ .]) And خَلَا بِهِ [sometimes] signifies He mocked at, scoffed at, laughed at, derided, or ridiculed, him: (Lh, S, Z, K, TA:) said by Az to be strange, and not known by him or any other authority than that of Lh: (TA:) from the saying, خَلَا فُلَانٌ بِعِرْضِ فُلَانٍ يَعْبَثُ بِهِ [Such a one occupied himself alone with the honour, or reputation, of such a one, making sport with it]. (Ksh in ii. 13.) And i. q. خَادَعَهُ [He deceived, deluded, beguiled, circumvented, or outwitted, him; &c.: or he strove to do so]: (TA:) as also خالاهُ , (JK, and K in art. خلى ,) inf. n. مُخَالَاةٌ . (JK.) And خَلَا عَلَيْهِ He relied upon him; [as though he betook himself to him alone;] syn. اِعْتَمَدَ . (TA.) And خَلَا , (JK, K,) inf. n. خُلُوٌّ , (TA,) or خَلَآءٌ , (JK,) said of a man (JK) and of a thing, (JK, TA,) He, or it, went, went away, or passed away. (JK, K.) Hence, (TA,) وَ إِنْ مِنْ أُمَّةٍإِلَّا خَلَا فِيهَا نَذِيرٌ , in the Kur [xxxv. 22], means [And there is not any people but a warner] hath gone, and hath been sent, among them. (S, TA.) [Hence also خَلَا explained above as meaning He died.] And خَلَا مِنْهَا [an elliptical phrase] She became old; the greater part of her life passed. (TA from a trad.) And خَلَاكَ ذَمٌّ [for خَلَا عَنْكَ ذَمٌّ ] Blame passed away from thee; or may blame pass away from thee. (Ksh and Bd in ii. 13.) You say, اِفْعَلْ كَذَا وَ خَلَاكَ ذَمٌّ Do thou such a thing, and thou wilt have an excuse; [i. e.] blame will fall from thee. (S. [See art. ذم .]) And خَلَاهُ الحُزْنُ Grief passed away from him, and quitted him. (Har p. 590, from the Tekmileh.) خَلَا عَنِ الشَّىْءِ : see 2. خَلَا [or خَلَى , probably belonging to art. خلى , though mentioned in the present art.,] He ate what was good, sweet, or pleasant.

maṣdarتَخْلِيَةٌ خِلَآءٌ

Core sense — he left it empty, vacant; he left it alone, or let it gogenerated

2.1figurative · مجاز — inferredhe left his place vacant, meaning he died—خلّى مَكَانَهُ

he left a place and the like empty, vacant, or unoccupied.

The K assigns this meaning to خَلَا مَكَانُهُ, and IAar to خَلَا alone, without shadda; but when مكانه is added, the verb has shadda.

he left his way free, or open, to him—خلّى سَبِيلَهُ

he left the way, or space, free between them two—خلّى بَيْنَهُمَا

he left him free access to such a thing—خلّى بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ كَذَا

he left him, or it, alone—خلّى بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ نَفْسِهِ

It also means: he went his way.

That is, he left them two free, each to do to the other as he pleased.

The same as أَهْمَلَهُ; mentioned in art. همل.

he left him to do as he pleased with such a one—خلّاهُ وَفُلَانًا

he left, or let alone, the thing, or affair—خلّى الأَمْرَ

Also تخلّى مِنْهُ, عَنْهُ, and خالاهُ.

For تَخْلِيَةٌ means the leaving of a thing, and the making of it to be alone.

خلّاهُ and خلّى عَنْهُ both mean: he left, or left alone, it, or him.

he left them alone, and turned from them, for forty years—خلّى عَنْهُمْ أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا

Said of God; the phrase occurs in a tradition.

he made him, or left him, vacant, unoccupied, or at leisure for such a thing—خلّاهُ لِكَذَا

2.1.1he dismissed, loosed, let loose, or let go, the thing—خلّى عَنِ الشَّىْءِ

تَخْلِيَةٌ also means loosing, the opposite of شَدٌّ; so IAar, and the K in art. ابض.

In the K written خَلَا, without shadda, but this requires consideration.

2.1.2he left it, permitted it, or allowed it—خلّاهُ

And hence this usage; see the ism mafʿūl, below.

2.2

خُلِّيَتْ is said of a she-camel of the kind termed خَلِيَّة, and hence of a cooking-pot: see form 1 in art. خلى.

But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

maṣdarمُخَالَاةٌ خِلَآءٌ

Core sense — he left him, kept apart from him; he wrestled with himgenerated

3.1

He left, forsook, relinquished, abandoned, or quitted him, being left in turn by him; said of another man. The same as تَارَكَهُ, which is the same as مُوَادَعَةٌ and also خِلَآءٌ.

It also means: he was, or became, distant, remote, far off, or apart, from him; for خِلَآءٌ is the same as مُبَاعَدَةٌ and مُجَانَبَةٌ and فُرْقَةٌ.

And for خالى الأَمْرَ, see form 2.

3.1.1

It also means: he went, or came, out to him in the field; for مُخَالَاةٌ is also the same as مُبَارَزَةٌ.

3.1.2

Also: he wrestled with him, each trying to throw the other down; he contended with him in wrestling.; mentioned in the K in art. خلى.

Lth: so called because, when one does this, he is alone with the other, so that neither of them seeks help from anyone else.

In the same way the word مُخَالَاةٌ is used of any affair or case, apparently meaning contending with another by oneself. See its ism fāʿil, below.

Nounخَلَا1 sense

Core sense — except, apart from, withoutgenerated

1they came to me, except Zeyd—جَاؤُونِى خَلَا زَيْدٍ

As a word marking exception. When it governs the genitive, it is a particle, according to some of the grammarians, like حَاشَى; but according to others it is a prefixed maṣdar.

they came to me, except Zeyd—جَاؤُونِى خَلَا زَيْدًا

It also governs the accusative, as a verb; the agent of خلا is implied, like that of حَاشَى used as a verb. It is as though you said خَلَا مَنْ جَآءَنِى مِنْ زَيْدٍ, that is, those who came to me were without Zeyd; or correctly, according to IB, خَلَا بَعْضُهُمْ زَيْدًا, for مِنْ زَيْدٍ, just as you say خَلَاكَ ذَمٌّ for خَلَا عَنْكَ ذَمٌّ.

they came to me, except Zeyd—جَاؤُونِى مَا خَلَا زَيْدًا

When you say مَا خَلَا, only the accusative follows, because ما خلا is equivalent to a maṣdar.

So it is as if you said جَاؤُونِى خُلُوَّ زَيْدٍ, or خُلُوًّا زَيْدًا, that is, خُلُوَّهُمْ مِنْ زَيْدٍ; and these two phrases mean جَاؤُونِى خَالِينَ مِنْ زَيْدٍ, they came to me, they being without Zeyd.

Seer: ماخلا stands in the place of a noun in the accusative as a ḥāl; but some say as an adverbial noun of time, so that on their view مَا خَلَا زَيْدًا means وَقْتَ خُلُوِّهِمْ عَنْ زَيْدٍ, in the time of their being without Zeyd.

I did not desire to displease you, but I admonished you—مَا أَرَدْتُ مَسَآءَتَكَ خَلَا أَنِّى وَعَظْتُكَ

The verb used here is إِلَّا أَنِّى وَعَظْتُكَ.

(TA.) When you say مَا خَلَا , it is followed only by an accus., because ما خلا is equivalent to an inf. n.; (S, Mughnee;) so that when you say, جَاؤُونِى مَا خَلَا زَيْدًا [meaning as above], it is as if you said, جَاؤُونِى خُلُوَّ زَيْدٍ [or خُلُوًّا زَيْدًا ], i. e. خُلُوَّهُمْ مِنْ زَيْدٍ , (S,) which two phrases mean جَاؤُونِى خَالِينَ مِنْ زَيْدٍ [They came to me, they being without Zeyd]: (S, K:) [for] accord. to Seer, ماخلا occupies the place of a noun in the accus. as a denotative of state: but some say, as an adv. n. of time; so that, accord. to these, مَا خَلَا زَيْدًا means وَقْتَ خُلُوِّهِمْ عَنْ زَيْدٍ [in the time of their being without Zeyd].

1.2your place of retirement is most preservative of your sense of shame—خَلَاؤُكَ أَقْنَى لِحَيَائِكَ

Then it is used as a noun in the sense of a vacant place, in a general sense, or a place in which there is nothing; it is often applied in the present day to any open tract of country or desert. Then, particularly, such a place as one takes for the purpose of satisfying a want of nature, the same as مُتَوَضَّأٌ, though it does not mean only a place for the performance of الوُضُوء, as this explanation might suggest. Plural أَخْلِيَةٌ.

A proverb; in Freytag's Arabic Proverbs, 1.436, written بِحَيَآيِكَ. The word for 'most preservative' is أَلْزَمُ. The meaning is that it is most fitting for you to be alone in your abode, since one who is alone need not be careful of his sense of shame, or modesty; it is used in blaming the mixing with others.

he suffered suppression of the feces, or constipation of the bowels—حُصِرَ عَلَيْهِ خَلَاؤُهُ

Literally, his place of retirement for satisfying a want of nature was straitened to him. Ibn-Buzurj; in art. حصر.

إِنَّهُ لَحْلُو الخَلَآءِ, or, as written in a verse in which it occurs in the present article and in art. خلى, الخَلَا without ء — though whether this is the right reading, or only required by poetic licence, seems doubtful — is a phrase mentioned by Th meaning: he is good in speech.

If the first reading is right, the meaning may be like that of سَهْلُ الخَلْوَةِ mentioned above; if only the latter, or rather انّه لحلو الخَلَى, is right, it probably belongs to art. خلىٍ and is figurative, from the herbage termed خَلى; and this may also be the case if the first reading is right.

This word and its feminine خَلِيَّةٌ: see خَالٍ in twelve places.

1.1you are divorced—أَنْتِ خَلِيَّةٌ

she is divorced—هِىَ خَلِيَّةٌ

The feminine, applied to a she-camel: loosed from the cord, or rope, with which her fore shank and her arm have been bound together, and left alone, or free, so that she pastures where she will. Hence it is used by way of metonymy of a woman, meaning divorced.

Said to a woman; a man used to say this in the Time of Ignorance.

A woman is divorced by this word when divorce is meant.

Applied to a woman, it also means free from any obstacle to marriage; plural خَلِيَّاتٌ.

1.2

Also a she-camel that is made to affect, along with another she-camel, one young one, so that both yield their milk to it, and to which the people of a tent, or house, confine themselves, apart from the other, for the purpose of milking her.

Or a she-camel chosen as the one more abundant in milk: when one has brought forth, her young one is drawn away as soon as it is born, before she smells it, and the young one of another that has brought forth before her is brought near to her, and she takes to it; the other is left to suckle the young one, and is termed بَسُوطٌ. Plural بسط, apparently بُسْطٌ or بُسُطٌ.

Or a she-camel that is left, or left alone, to be milked; or that takes to a young one not her own, or is destitute of her own young one, whether she inclines to another's young one or not; or that is destitute of her young one by death or slaughter, and whose milk one causes to flow by means of another's young one, but only by her taking to a young one and not suckling it.

Or one that brings forth when abundant in milk, and has her young one drawn from beneath her and another put beneath her, and is then left alone to be milked; this is done because of her generous quality.

Or a she-camel, or two she-camels, to which the people of a tent, or house, confine themselves for milking, when two or three she-camels are made to take to one young one and to yield their milk to it, the young one afterwards sucking from one of them only.

Or one that brings forth and whose young one is drawn away so that her milk may continue for their use, she being made to yield her milk by means of another's young one, which is then withdrawn from her, and she is milked.

Sometimes, too, they bring together three or four خَلَايَا (plural of خَلِيَّةٌ) to one young camel; the doing of this is termed تَلَسُّنٌ, and in this case they take as a خليّة whichever of them they will.

Applied to a she-camel in any of these senses, it seems to be an adjective in which the quality of a noun is predominant, that is, used without نَاقَةٌ prefixed to it.

you are free from this thing, or affair—خَالٍ

I am free from anxiety—أَنَا خَلِىٌّ مِنَ الهَمِّ

That is, خَالٍ.

I am free from such a thing—أَنَا خِلْوٌ مِنْ كَذَا

That is, خَالٍ; also هُمَا خِلْوٌ and هُمْ خِلْوٌ; and some say هُمَا خِلْوَانِ and هُمْ أَخْلَآءٌ, which is not proper.

you are free in mind from my affliction, or misfortune—أَنْتَ خِلْوٌ مِنْ مُصِيبَتِى

I am clear, or quit, of you—أَنَا خَلِىٌّ مِنْكَ

I am clear, or quit, of you—أَنَا مِنْكَ خَلَآءٌ

we are clear, or quit, of you—نَحْنُ مِنْكَ الخَلَآءُ

we are clear, or quit, of you—البَرَآءُ

Fr; in the T, art. برأ.

you are clear, or quit, of this affair—أَنْتَ خَلَآءٌ مِنْ هٰذَا الأَمْرِ

I am clear, or quit, of this affair—أَنَا مِنْ هٰذَا الأَمْرِ كَفَالِجِ بْنِ خَلَاوَةَ

Literally, I am, with respect to this affair, like Fālij Ibn-Khalāweh. Or فَالِجُ بْنُ خَلَاوَةَ, as in the JK and K in this article, and in the S and K in art. فلج; the meaning is بَرِىْءٌ. The saying arose from Fālij Ibn-Khalāweh being asked, on the day of Er-Rakam, when Uneys killed the captives, 'Will you aid Uneys?' and answering, 'I am clear, or quit, of him.'

free from anxiety—خَلِىٌّ

That is, خَالٍ مِنَ الهَمِّ; the opposite of شَجِىٌّ.

woe to the man burdened with anxiety from the man who is free of it—لِلشَّجِىِّ مِنَ الخَلِىِّ وَيْلٌ

what will the man burdened with anxiety get from the man who is free of it?—مِنَ الخَلِىِّ مَا يَلْقَى الشَّجِىُّ

AO: meaning that the man free of anxiety will not aid the anxious man against his anxieties, but will blame him. The Tekmileh says that الخَلِىّ in these proverbs is from خَلَاهُ الحُزْنُ, meaning grief passed away from him and left him.

you, woman, are devoid, or destitute, of good—أَنْتِ خَلِيَّةٌ

That is, خَالِيَةٌ مِنَ الخَيْرِ.

1.2

Also a man having no wife, from the phrase خَالٍ مِنَ الزَّوَجَاتِ occurring in the TA; and a woman having no husband, in this sense without ة; plural أَخْلَآءٌ.

خِلْوَةٌ also has the latter meaning; dual خِلْوَتَانِ, plural خِلْوَاتٌ; and so does مُخْلِيَةٌ. And خَلِيَّةٌ means a woman having no husband and no children; plural خَلِيَّاتٌ.

1.3the wolf, when alone or in a vacant place, is most courageous, or violent—الذِّئْبُ مُخْلِيًا أَشَدُّ

Also alone; as also مُخْلٍ and خِلْوٌ.

A proverb; or خَالِيًا, which means the same; another reading is أَسَدٌ. See Freytag's Arabic Proverbs, 1.500.

I found such a woman alone—وَجَدْتُ فُلَانَةَ مُخْلِيَةً

That is, خَالِيَةً.

he found them two alone—وَجَدَهُمَا خِلْوَيْنِ

That is, خَالِيَيْنِ.

1.4the generations that have passed—القُرُونُ خَالِيَةُ

Also past, or passed away; as well as going, going away, or passing away.
