حاشاهُIII
, Verbal.Noun مُحَاشَاةٌ, He set him aside as excluded from the description of them; [excluded him from them;] did not include him among them: from حَشًى meaning the “side” of a thing: he excepted him from them; as also
. You say, شَتَمْتُهُمْ وَ مَا حَاشَيْتُ مِنْهُمْ
أَحَدًا and
ما , i. e. [I reviled them and] I did not say [of any one of them] حَاشَى لِفُلَانٍ [Far is such a one from being included among those of whom I speak! or from any cause of reproach!]; or I did not except, of them, any one. (Lh, TA. [The same saying is repeated in the TA, in the supplement to this art. of the K, but with the substitution of حشيت for حاشيت; perhaps by a mistake of the copyist: or it may be inferred from a statement of Fr and IAmb, which will be found below, that one also says ما.]) And En-Nábighah [Edh-Dhubyánee] says,
2 حَاشَى also denotes exception as a particle, or as a verb having but one tense and no Verbal.Noun, according as it governs a gen. or an accus. case. You say, ضَرَبْتُهُمْ حَاشَى زَيْدٍ [I beat them, except Zeyd], using it as a particle; and ضربتهم حاشى زَيْدًا, using it as a verb. And sometimes one says, قَامَ القَوْمُ مَا حَاشَى زَيْدًا [The party stood, except Zeyd]; like مَا خَلَا; though Ibn-Málik [like Sb] disallows it: this being shown to be allowable by the saying of the poet,
3 It also denotes remoteness from imperfection or the like, or freedom therefrom; as in the phrase حَاشَى للّٰهِ [I ascribe unto God remoteness from every imperfection or the like, or freedom therefrom; generally implying wonder or admiration, so that it may be rendered, how
4 Sb says, with most of the Basrees, that it is only a particle governing the gen. case, syn. with إِلَّا; because, if it were a verb, it would be allowable to make it a connective to مَا, like خَلَا; and this he asserts to be not allowable. Mbr says that it is sometimes a verb; as is shown by the verse of En-Nábighah cited above; and by the saying حَاشَى لِزَيْدٍ, because a particle cannot be made to precede immediately another particle; and because it suffers elision, as in the phrase حَاشَ لِزَيْدٍ, seeing that elision takes place in nouns and verbs only, exclusively of particles: and IJ and the Koofees say the like: but Mbr also holds, in common with El-Jarmee and El-Mázinee and Zj and Akh and AZ and Fr and Aboo-'Amr EshSheybánee, that it is often a particle governing the gen. case, and seldom a trans. verb having but one tense and no Verbal.Noun, because syn. with إِلَّا.

[And I shall not see an actor among mankind resembling him; and I do not except, of the companies of men, any one]: which shows حَاشِى to be a verb perfectly inflected. And hence the trad. of the Prophet, قَال أُسَامَةُ أَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَىَّ مَا حَاشَى فَاطِمَةَ, i. e. [He said, Usámeh is the most beloved of men to me:] he did not except Fátimeh: ما being here a negative; not, as Ibn-Málik imagines, supposing this clause to be of the words of the Prophet, the ما which, with a verb following it, conveys the meaning of an Verbal.Nounوَ لَا أَرَى فَاعِلًا فِى النَّاسِ يُشْبِهُهُ وَ مَا أُحَاشِى مِنَ الأَقْوَامِ مِنْ أَحَدِ
2 حَاشَى also denotes exception as a particle, or as a verb having but one tense and no Verbal.Noun, according as it governs a gen. or an accus. case. You say, ضَرَبْتُهُمْ حَاشَى زَيْدٍ [I beat them, except Zeyd], using it as a particle; and ضربتهم حاشى زَيْدًا, using it as a verb. And sometimes one says, قَامَ القَوْمُ مَا حَاشَى زَيْدًا [The party stood, except Zeyd]; like مَا خَلَا; though Ibn-Málik [like Sb] disallows it: this being shown to be allowable by the saying of the poet,
[I have seen mankind, except Kureysh, that we are the most excellent of them in conduct]. The agent of حاشى [used as a verb having but one tense and no Verbal.Noun] is a pronoun implied, relating to the Verbal.Noun of the preceding verb, or to its act. part. n., or to a portion of what is meant by the [preceding] general noun: so that when one says, قَامَ القَوْمُ حَاشَى زَيْدًا, the meaning is, [The party stood, but] their standing, or the stander of them, or a portion of them, was apart from Zeyd. [In the K, its use as a verb of this kind is not mentioned; but it is there said to govern the gen. case, like حَتَّى.]رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ مَا حَاشَى قُرَيْشًا فَإِنَّا نَحْنُ أَفْضَلُهُمْ فَعَالَا
