Full Definition

هَذَاذَيْكَ , is said to people when you desire them to refrain, or forbear, or abstain, from a thing; as also هَجَاجَيْكَ; supposing [it to be addressed to] two [persons]; [but it is addressed to one;] meaning Refrain thou! or forbear thou! or abstain thou! (TA, art. هج.) 'Abd-Beni-l-Has-hás says, إِذَا شُقَّ بُرْدٌ شُقَّ بِٱلْبردِ مِثْلُهُ هَذَاذَيْكَ حَتَّى لَيْس لِلْبُرْدِ لَابِسُ [When a burd is rent, the like thereof is rent with the burd
2 refrain thou
3 so that there is no wearer of the burd, it having been rent so as to fall off: but it seems more proper to render it here, with rending after rending, which is nearly the original signification, as will be presently shown; and, thus rendered, it does not interrupt the sentence]: the women assert that, when, in the act of concubitus, [app., for the first time,] somewhat of the garment of the man is rent, love continues between the pair; but otherwise, that they desert each other. (S, L. [This verse is related with several variations: see another reading of it voce دَوَالَيْكَ, in art. دول.])
4 ضَرْبًا هَذَاذَيْكَ With a beating, or striking, with cutting after cutting; بَعْدَ هَذٍّ, i. e., قَطْعًا بَعْدَ قَطْعٍ: or with a beating, or striking, successively; uninterruptedly; وَلَآءً تِبَاعًا.
5 In the saying of the poet, فَبَاكَرَ مَخْتُومًا عَلَيْهِ سَيَاعُهُ هَذَاذَيْكَ حَتَّى أَنْفَذَ الدَّنَّ أَجْمَعَا [in which, for انفذ, in the L and TA, I substitute انفذ,] AHn says, that it signifies هَذًّ بَعْدَ هَذٍّ, i. e., شُرْبًا بَعْدَ شُرْبٍ; the poet meaning And he applied himself early to a jar full of wine, [with its mud-plaster sealed upon it, with drinking after drinking, until he exhausted all that was in the jar,] and emptied it.
