خَذُولٌ

Root: خذل

Full Definition

خَذُولٌ One who often abstains from, or neglects, the rendering of aid, or assistance: so in the Kur xxv. 31, applied to the Devil; because he forsakes the unbeliever, and declares himself to be clear of him, on the occasion of trial, or affliction.
2 See also خَاذِلٌ.
3 Also A mare that, when suffering from the pain of parturition, moves not from her place.
4 خَذُولُ الرِّجْلِ A man whose leg aids him not, in consequence of weakness, or of some evil affection, or of intoxication.
