2 تخلّق بِغَيْرِ خُلُقِهِ means He affected a خُلُق [or nature, &c.,] that was not his own. And تخلّق بِكَذَا He feigned such a thing, it not being in his nature, or not being created in him. And تخلّق لِلنَّاسِ بِمَا لَيْسَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ, occurring in a trad., [He affected, to men, a nature, &c., that did not belong to him; or] he pretended [to men] that there was in his nature فِى خُلُقِهِ) that which was contrary to his real intention; or that which was contrary to what he had in his heart: the verb is similar to تَصَنَّعَ and تَجَمَّلَ.
