Full Definition

آزاهُIII , Verbal.Noun مُؤَازَاةٌ, (Msb in art. حذو, and TA in art. وزى, &c., [though it would seem from the K to be إِيزَآءٌ,]) He was, or became, over against it, or opposite to it; he faced, or fronted, him, or it. (S, * K, * TA in art. وزى.) Accord. to the S, one should not say, وَازَاهُ: but it is said in a trad. respecting the prayer of fear, فَوَازَيْنَا العَدُوَّ, i. e. And we faced, or fronted, the enemy: and the Verbal.Noun is مُوَازَاةٌ. (TA in art. وزى.) [Its syn. حَاذَاهُ is more common.]

def.2 [Hence مُؤَازَأْق signifying A conformity, a mutual resemblance, or a correspondence, with regard to sound, of two words occurring near together; like اِزْدِوَاجٌ &c.: see art. زوج.]

def.3 [Hence, likewise,] آزِاهُ also signifies He contended with him, syn. جَارَاهُ; and opposed, or withstood, him, syn. قَاوَمَهُ. Whence the saying in a trad., وَفِرْقَةٌ آزَتِ ٱلْمُلُوكَ فَقَاتَلَتْهُمْ عَلَى دِينِ ٱللّٰهِ [And a party contended with, and opposed, or withstood, the kings, and fought with them for the religion of God].
