استعذرX He asked, or desired, to be excused if he should lay violent hands upon such a one [or requite him for an evil action]; he said, مَنْ عَذِيرِى مِنْ فُلَانٍ. It is said in a trad. of the Prophet, اِسْتَعْذَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ مِنْ عَائِشَةَ i. e. He said to Aboo-Bekr, Undertake thou to excuse me for my conduct to 'Áïsheh if I discipline her, or chastise her.
2 And one says to him who has neglected the giving information of a thing, or to him who reproves thee for a thing before giving thee any command, or order, or injunction, respecting it, وَٱللّٰهِ مَا ٱسْتَعْذَرْتَ إِلَىَّ وَلَا ٱسْتَنْذَرْتَ By God, thou didst not offer to me excuse, nor didst thou offer warning.
