Full Definition

تحلّجV The clouds became in a state of commotion, and lightened.
2 مَا تَحَلَّجَ ذٰلِكَ فِى صَدْرِى That [thing, or affair,] did not become agitated to and fro in my mind, so that I should doubt respecting it. And مَا تَحَلَّجَ فِى صَدْرِى مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ [Nothing of it was doubtful in my mind;] I doubted not respecting aught of it. You say, دَعْ مَا تَحَلَّجَ فِى صَدْرِكَ and ما تَخَلَّجَ [Leave thou that which has been doubtful in thy mind]. تحلّج فِى صَدْرِى and تخلّج mean I doubted respecting it: or both mean nearly the same. The saying of 'Adee, [or,] correctly, the saying of the Prophet to 'Adee Ibn-Zeyd, لَا يَتَحَلَّجَنَّ فِى صَدْركَ طَعَامٌ ضارَعْتَ فِيهِ النَّصْرَانِيَّةَ, or لا , [accord. to different copies of the K, in the CK ضارَعَتْ فيهِ النَّصْرانِيَّةُ,] means Let not aught [of doubt] enter thy heart on account of it; [i. e., on account of food in respect of which thou hast resembled those who follow the Christian religion;] i. e., it is clean. Accord. to IAth, this is from حَلْجٌ , signifying motion, and commotion, or agitation: and it is also related with خ [in the place of ح], meaning the same.
