Full Definition
اخزاهُIV
He abased him; or rendered him base, abject, vile, despicable, or ignominious: or may He abase him; &c.: or He disgraced him, or put him to shame: or may He disgrace him, &c. Hence, in the Kur [xi. 80], the saying of Lot to his people, وَلَا
تُخْزُونِ فِى ضَيْفِى And disgrace ye not me in respect of my guests: or make not me ashamed &c. One says also, of him who has done or said that which is approved, مَالَهُ أخْزَاهُ ٱللّٰهُ [What aileth him? May God abase him, or disgrace him!]; and so without ما له: it is like مَا لَهُ قَاتَلَهُ ٱللّٰهُ, said of a man whose action pleases: (S in art. نفر:) it is used in lieu of praise, to charm a person against the evil eye; and means a prayer for him, not an imprecation against him. See also مُخْزٍ, below.
2 Also He made him to be ashamed for himself in respect of him, for his shortcoming. [See the citation from the Kur above.]
3 He compelled him, or constrained him, to admit an evidence, or a proof, whereby he abased him, or disgraced him.
4 And He aided him in, and made him to keep to, a مَخْزَاة [i. e. a thing that was a cause of shame, or of abasement or disgrace].
