Form 1ذَهَلَ عَنْهُ2 senses

muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarذَهْلٌ ذُهُولٌ

Core sense — he forgot it, he neglected it, he was unmindful of itgenerated

1.1he forgot it, or neglected it; he was unmindful of it, or neglected it intentionally—ذَهِلَ

or both.

The form عَلَى عَهْدٍ is a mistake for على عَمْدٍ.

Or he forgot it because something diverted him; or he dismissed it from his mind intentionally and turned away from it.

ذُهُولٌ is neglecting a thing and dismissing it from the mind; or quitting a thing with confusion, perplexity, or distraction of mind, such as comes from fear and the like.

Er-Rāghib: being diverted from one's constant companion, or familiar, so as to forget him, and being content to give him up; or a diversion that brings grief and forgetfulness.

Hence, in the Qur'ān 22:2, يَوْمَ تَرَوْنَهَا تَذْهَلُ كُلُّ مُرْضِعَةٍ عَمَّا أَرْضَعَتٌ [On the day when you shall see it, every woman giving suck shall forget, or neglect, what she has suckled].

Lane cites “Bd in xxii. 2” — a commentary, not the verse; no modern number is given

22:2

يَوْمَ تَرَوْنَهَا تَذْهَلُ كُلُّ مُرْضِعَةٍ عَمَّآ أَرْضَعَتْ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمْلٍ حَمْلَهَا وَتَرَى ٱلنَّاسَ سُكَـٰرَىٰ وَمَا هُم بِسُكَـٰرَىٰ وَلَـٰكِنَّ عَذَابَ ٱللَّهِ شَدِيدٌ

The Day ye shall see it, every mother giving suck shall forget her suckling-babe, and every pregnant female shall drop her load (unformed): thou shalt see mankind as in a drunken riot, yet not drunk: but dreadful will be the Wrath of Allah.
