muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُmaṣdarهَزٌّ هَزْهَزَةٌ

Core sense — he shook it, he set it in motion; he made him brisk, or eagergenerated

1.1he shook it; he put it in motion, or into a state of commotionهَزَّ بِهِ

[See what is said about this on an example below.]

.

Also هزّزهُ and هزّز بِهِ (maṣdar تَهْزِيزٌ) and هَزْهَزَهُ (): he made it move by pulling and pushing; or he made it move to the right and left. Er-Rāghib: he did so violently.

It is said that هَزَّ is transitive by itself and also by means of بِ, like أَخَذَ and تَعَلَّقَ.

[And shake towards you the trunk of the palm-tree]وَهُزِّى إِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ

This occurs in the Qur'ān 19:25, where it is transitive in the latter way; that is, حَرِّكِى. But ISd says the verb is here made transitive by means of ب because it is used in the sense of جُرِّى; and MF says that properly it is not transitive by means of ب.

[he shook the sword, etc.]هَزَّ السَّيْفَ وَغَيْرَهُ
[the wind shook the branches, and the trees]هَزَّتِ الرِّيحُ الأَغْصَانَ

Also الشَّجَرَ and هَزَّزَتْهَا.

it shook the plantsهَزَّتِ النَّبَاتَ

That is, حَرَّكَت. This expression also has a figurative sense, given below.

[literally, I shake my shoulder-joint;] I behave with pride and self-conceitمَنْكِبِى
[literally, he shook his sides at such a thing]هَزَّ عِطْفَيْهِ لِكَذَا

Apparently meaning: he was active, or prompt, and brisk to do such a thing, or he was rejoiced at such a thing — like اِهْتَزَّ لَهُ. In the same way, هَزَّ مَنْكِبَيْهِ.

[what I saw rejoiced me]هَزَّ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ عِطْفَى
he made the camels brisk, or sprightly, by his singing to urge them onهَزَّ الإِبِلَ

Apparently so, according to a gloss cited by De Sacy in his Anthologie Grammaticale Arabe, p. 309; or, as he renders it on p. 286, "ce dont j'étois témoin, réveilla en moi le courage." (Z, in his preface to the Kesh-sháf.)

Said of a man urging his beasts on by singing.; maṣdar هَزٌّ and هَزِيزٌ.

[the journeying made them brisk, or sprightly]هَزَّهَا السَّيْرُ

I made such a one rejoice, [or be prompt and brisk (see the quasi-passive, form 8) to do good]هَزَزْتُ فُلَانًا لِخَيْرٍ

such a one came walking impulsivelyجَآءَ فُلَانٌ يَهُزُّ المَشْىَ

Also يَهُضُّهُ. Or: with a graceful gait, impulsively. (Ibn-El-Faraj, in art. هض.)

O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of dust, then out of sperm, then out of a leech-like clot, then out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (our power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We bring you out as babes, then (foster you) that ye may reach your age of full strength; and some of you are called to die, and some are sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after having known (much), and (further), thou seest the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells, and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs).

27:10

41:39
وَمِنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦٓ أَنَّكَ تَرَى ٱلْأَرْضَ خَـٰشِعَةً فَإِذَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمَآءَ ٱهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَحْيَاهَا لَمُحْىِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
