1far, or far from being believed or from the truth, is such a thingهَيْهَاتَ لِكَذَا

Far, or far from being believed or from the truth, is such a thing.

This second form may instead mean: remoteness, or remoteness from being believed or from the truth, is to be attributed to such a thing.

هَيْهَاتَ followed by لِ means بَعُدَ, or بَعُدَ التَّصْدِيقُ, or الصِّحَّةُ, or البُعْدُ; and without لِ after it, it denotes pronouncing a thing remote.

See أَيْهَاتَ.

1.1one deems a thing remote, or improbable, and despairs of itهَيْهَات

It means بَعُدَ جِدًّا [Very far, &c.], or ما أَبْعَدَ [How far, &c.], implying more than بَعُدَ, though we render it by this word.

Far, or far from being believed or from the truth, is such a thing; as also هَيْهَاتَ لِكَذَا : or the latter means remoteness, or remoteness from being believed or from the truth, is to be attributed to such a thing: هَيْهَاتَ followed by لِ means بَعُدَ , (Jel, in xxiii. 38,) or بَعُدَ التَّصْدِيقُ or الصِّحَّةُ : (Bd, ibid:) or البُعْدُ : (Bd, ibid, TA:) and without لِ after it, it denotes the pronouncing [a thing] remote. (TA.) See أَيْهَاتَ . هَيْهَات denotes one's deeming a thing remote, or improbable, and despairing of it; and means بَعُدَ جِدًّا [Very far, &c.], or ما أَبْعَدَ [How far, &c.]; implying more than بَعُدَ though we render it by this word. (Kull, p. 382.)
