Full Definition

حَوْجَآءُ : see حَاجَةٌ, in four places:
2 and see حَائِجَةٌ
3 You say also, وَلَا لَوْجَٓءُ مَا فِى صَدْرِى بِهِ حَوْجَٓءُ There is not in my bosom any doubt respecting him, or it. And أَمْرِكَ حُوَيْجَآءُ وَلَا لُوَيْجَٓءُ وَلَا رُوَيْغَةٌ لَيْسَ فِى [There is not any doubt in, or in respect of, thine affair, or thy case]. And
2 وَلَا لَوْجَآءَ كَلَّمْتُهُ فَمَا رَدَّ عَلَىَّ حَوْجَٓءَ, like the phrase بَيْضَآءُ فَمَا رَدَّ عَلَىَّ سَوْدَٓءُ, i. e. I spoke to him, and he returned me not a bad word nor a good one.
