maṣdarخِيَانَةٌ خَوْنٌmuḍāriʿيَخُونُهُ

Core sense — he was unfaithful to him; he broke the covenantgenerated

1.1he was unfaithful to the confidence, or trust, that he reposed in him—اختانهُ

maṣdar خِيَانَةٌ, خَوْنٌ, مَخَانَةٌ, خَانَةٌ, and خَائِنَةٌ, of the measure فَاعِلَةٌ, like لَاغِيَةٌ and the like. He was treacherous, perfidious, or unfaithful to him.

Construed with فِى كَذَا [in such a thing].

خِيَانَةٌ is the opposite of أَمَانَةٌ, and does not relate only to property but to other things as well.

El-Harállee: or it is the neglecting, or failing in, أَمَانَةٌ [which is trustiness, or faithfulness].

Er-Rāghib: or it is the same as نِفَاقٌ, except that خيانة regards a compact or covenant or the like, and faithfulness, while نفاق regards religion; so that the former is acting contrary to what is right by breaking a compact or covenant or the like.

But [it is said that] the primary meaning of خَوْنٌ is making to suffer loss, or diminution; because the خَائِن makes the مَخُون suffer loss, or diminution, of something.

[lit. you used to act unfaithfully to yourselves]—كُنْتُمْ تَخْتَانُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ

In the Qur'ān [2:183] this means you used to act unfaithfully, one to another; or you used to act wrongfully to yourselves.

اِخْتِيَانٌ has a stronger meaning than خِيَانَةٌ.

he broke the compact or covenant or the like—خان العَهْدَ

[The benefit says, I have been disacknowledged, and have not been requited with thankfulness; and the trust says, I have been betrayed, and have not been faithfully kept]—تَقُولُ النِّعْمَةُ كُفِرْتُ وَلَمْ أُشْكَرْ وَتَقُولُ الأَمَانَةُ خُنْتُ وَلَمْ أُحْفَظْ

The verb [خُنْتُ] is here of the measure فُعِلْتُ, a verb whose agent is not named.

he was unfaithful to him in respect of the compact or covenant or the like, and the trust—خَانَهُ العَهْدَ

Also فِى العَهْدِ and خانهُ الأَمَانَةَ, muḍāriʿ as above, and مَخَانَةٌ.

1.1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredhis sword was unfaithful—خان سَيْفُهُ

That is, it failed to take effect upon the thing struck with it.

[It is your brother, but sometimes it is unfaithful to you]—أَخُوكَ وَ رُبَّمَا خَانَكَ

Said by a certain person who was asked about the sword.

1.1.2figurative · مجاز — inferredhis two legs were unfaithful to him—خَانَتْهُ رِجْلَاهُ

He was unable to walk.

1.1.3figurative · مجاز — inferredthe well-rope broke off, or became severed, from the bucket—خان الدَّلْوَ الرِّشَآءُ

1.1.4figurative · مجاز — inferredtime altered his state from ease to hardship, or to evil—خانهُ الدَّهْرُ

Maṣdar خَوْنٌ and تخوّنهُ.

The same is said of النَّعِيمُ [enjoyment, etc.].

Of everything that has altered your state [for the worse] one says تَخَوَّنَكَ.

8:27

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَخُونُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ وَتَخُونُوٓا۟ أَمَـٰنَـٰتِكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

O ye that believe! betray not the trust of Allah and the Messenger, nor misappropriate knowingly things entrusted to you.

8:71

وَإِن يُرِيدُوا۟ خِيَانَتَكَ فَقَدْ خَانُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مِن قَبْلُ فَأَمْكَنَ مِنْهُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

But if they have treacherous designs against thee, (O Messenger!), they have already been in treason against Allah, and so hath He given (thee) power over them. And Allah so He Who hath (full) knowledge and wisdom.

12:52

ذَٰلِكَ لِيَعْلَمَ أَنِّى لَمْ أَخُنْهُ بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى كَيْدَ ٱلْخَآئِنِينَ

"This (say I), in order that He may know that I have never been false to him in his absence, and that Allah will never guide the snare of the false ones.

66:10

ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ٱمْرَأَتَ نُوحٍ وَٱمْرَأَتَ لُوطٍ ۖ كَانَتَا تَحْتَ عَبْدَيْنِ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا صَـٰلِحَيْنِ فَخَانَتَاهُمَا فَلَمْ يُغْنِيَا عَنْهُمَا مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيْـًٔا وَقِيلَ ٱدْخُلَا ٱلنَّارَ مَعَ ٱلدَّٰخِلِينَ

Allah sets forth, for an example to the Unbelievers, the wife of Noah and the wife of Lut: they were (respectively) under two of our righteous servants, but they were false to their (husbands), and they profited nothing before Allah on their account, but were told: "Enter ye the Fire along with (others) that enter!"

Core sense — he sought out his treachery; he diminished it little by little; he returned to it repeatedlygenerated

5.1he sought [to discover, or show,] their treachery, and their slip, lapse, or wrong action, and suspected or accused them—تَخَوَّنَهُمْ

See form 1, last sentence, in two places.

خِيَانَة here means treachery, perfidy, or unfaithfulness.

5.1.1such a one took from me by little and little of my right, or due—تَخَوَنَنِى فُلَانٌ حَقِّى

He, or it, diminished it, wasted it, impaired it, or took from it; and so خوّنهُ and خوّن مِنْهُ. Or he diminished it, wasted it, impaired it, or took from it by little and little; the same as تَنَقَّصَهُ.

on this sense Dhu-r-Rummeh says this.

on this sense Lebeed says this, describing a she-camel: that is, whose flesh and fat my alighting and my journeying had diminished by little and little.

[No, but it is, or was, yearning of the soul arising from a place of abode from which sometimes raining clouds, and sometimes a hot wind carrying dust, took away by little and little, so as gradually to efface its traces]

shāhid 1

لَا بَلْ هُوَ الشَّوْقُ مِنْ دَارٍ تَخَوَّنَهَامَرًّا سَحَابٌ وَمَرًّا بَارِحٌ تَرِبُ

shāhid 2

تَخَوَّنَهَا نُزُولِى وَٱرْتِحَالِى

5.2the fever returns to him time after time—الحُمَّىتَخَوَّنُهُ

He paid frequent attention to him, or it; or he, or it, returned to him, or it, time after time; the same as تَعَهَّدَهُ, and so خوّنهُ in this sense.

The former verb is [said to be] from تخوّلهُ, by the substitution of ن for ل.

Dhu-r-Rummeh says this, describing a young gazelle.

The caller calls him by the sound of مَآءِ, and he is addressed by the cry termed بُغَام.

That is, except when he hears the بُغَام of his mother calling him by the cry مَآءِ مَآءِ.

It is said, in the article بغم, that the ism mafʿūl مَبْغُوم is used in this instance for the ism fāʿil; but I see no sufficient reason for this.

He says that the young gazelle is slumbering, not raising his eye, or eyes, unless his mother comes to him time after time; or, as some say, unless his mother's call to him takes from his sleep by little and little.

For تَتَخَوَّنُهُ. Or the meaning is: the fever returns at its own time.

[He raises not his eye, or eyes, except when a caller calling him returns to him time after time]
