حَاجِزٌ
Root: حجز
Full Definition
2 Also sing. of حَجَزَةٌ, which latter signifies Wrongers, or wrongdoers, who prevent one from obtaining his right: or persons who defend men, one from another, and decide between them justly. In the K, the signification of “wrongers, or wrongdoers,” is combined with the contrary explanation given by Az. It is said in a trad. of Keyleh, أَيْعُجِزُ ٱبْنُ هٰذِهِ أَنْ يَنْتَصِفَ مِنْ وَرَآءِ الحَجَزَةِ [Is the son of this woman unable to obtain his right in the absence of the wrongdoers who prevent his doing so?]: or [according to one relation] أَيُلَامُ ٱبْنُ ذِهْ أَنْ يَفصِلَ الخُطَّةَ مِنْ وَرَآءِ الحَجَزَة [Is the son of this woman to be blamed for deciding the affair in the absence of those who defend men, one from another, and decide between them justly?]: by “the son of this woman” she means her own son: she says, if he suffer a wrong, and allege for himself that which repels from him the wrong, [without having recourse to the judge,] he is not to be blamed. [See also خُطَّةٌ.]
