زاولهُIII
, Verbal.Noun مُزَاوَلَةٌ and زِوَالٌ, i. q.
عَالَجَهُ [as meaning He laboured, exerted himself, strove, struggled, contended, or conflicted, with him, or it, to prevail, overcome, or gain the mastery or possession, or to effect an object: and accord. to the KL and PS and some other lexicons, it signifies also he treated him medically; which is another meaning of عالجه; but of this meaning I have not found any ex.]: and حَاوَلَهُ [as meaning he sought to obtain it, or effect it; or did so by artful, or skilful, management]: and طَالَبَهُ [he made a demand on him, or prosecuted a claim upon him]. [Accord. to the TA, it seems to be used properly in relation to real things, and tropically in relation to ideal things. One says, زاول الصَّيْدَ
He strove to gain possession of, or to catch, i. e. he hunted, the animals of the chase. (See طَرَدَ.)] And زَاوَلْتُهُ
عَنِ الأَمْرُ [I strove with him to avert him, or to turn him back, from the affair]. (S, in art. جحس.) Zuheyr says,
[And we passed the night standing at the head of our courser, he striving with us to repel us from himself, and we striving with him to master him]. And a man said to another, who upbraided him with cowardice, وَٱللّٰهُ مَا كُنْتُ جَبَانًا وَلٰكِنِّى زَاوَلْتُ مُلْكًا مُؤَجَّلًافَبِتْنَا وُقُوفًا عِنْدَ رَأْسِ جَوَادِنَا يُزَاوِلُنَا عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَنُزَاوِلُهْ
