From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root خذل. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

خَذَلَهُ , (S, Msb, K,) and خَذَلَ عَنْهُ , (Msb, K,) aor. خَذُلَ , (JK, Msb,) inf. n. خِذْلَانٌ (JK, S, K) and خَذْلٌ , (JK, Msb, * K,) or ↓ خِذْلَانٌ is a simple subst.; (Msb;) and ↓ اخذلهُ ; (TA;) He abstained from, or neglected, aiding him, or assisting him; (JK, * S, Msb, K;) and held back from him: (Msb:) and خَذَلَهُ he left, forsook, or deserted, him: (MA:) and, accord. to AZ, خَذَلَ عَنْهُ , aor. خَذُلَ , inf. n. خُذُولٌ , he left him, and held back from going with him. (T in art. تلو .) And ↓ خِذْلَانٌ signifies God's failing to preserve a man; accord. to Az, from an evil action; so that he falls into it. (TA.) It is said in the Kur [iii. 154], وَ اـِنْ يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا ا@لَّذِى يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ [But if He fail to aid you, or to preserve you, then who is he that will aid you after Him?]: here 'Obeyd Ibn-'Omeyr read ↓ يُخْدِلْكُمْ , with damm to the ى and kesr to the . (TA.) ― -b2- And خَذَلَ He (a gazelle) held back from going with the herd; or remained behind the herd. (As, S.) And خَذَلَتْ She (a gazelle, &c., K, as, for instance, a [wild] cow, TA) held back from going with her female companions, and remained alone: or held back, or remained behind, not overtaking [the others]: (K:) or you say, of a female gazelle, and of a [wild] cow, تَخْذُلُ صَوَاحِبَاتِهَا She holds back from going with her female companions, or remains behind them, with her young one, in the place of pasturage: or remains alone with him; as A'Obeyd says, on the authority of As. (T, TA.) And خَذَلَتْ She (a wild animal, S, O, or a gazelle, K) remained attending to her young one [when the rest of the herd had gone]; (S, O, K;) said by some to be inverted [as to the meaning], because she is [not the one that leaves, but] the one that is left; (S;) as also ↓ تخاذلت , (S, K,) and ↓ اخذلت . (K.) ― -b3- A poet says, (namely, 'Adee Ibn-Zeyd, TA,) describing a horse, فَهْوَ كَالدَّلْوِ بِكَفِّ المُسْتَقِى خَذَلَتْ عَنْهُ العَرَاقِى فَا@نْجَذَمْ meaning [And he is, or was, like the bucket in the hand of the drawer of water,] of which the cross pieces of wood have become separated from it [so that it has become severed from the wellrope]. (S.)

خذّلهُ , inf. n. تَخْذِيلٌ , He incited him, or induced him, to abstain from, or to neglect, aiding him, or assisting him; and hindered him, withheld him, or prevented him, from aiding his companion, or assisting him. (T, TA.) And خذّل عَنْهُ أَصْحَابَهُ , inf. n. as above, He incited, or induced, his companions to abstain from, or to neglect, aiding him, or assisting him. (S.) ― -b2- He induced him to be cowardly and weak-hearted, and to abstain from fighting. (Msb.)

أَخْذَلَ see 1, in three places. ― -b2- Also اخذل , (K,) or اخذل أُمَّهُ , (T, TA,) said of the young one of a wild animal, (K,) or of the young one of a gazelle or [wild] cow, (T,) means وَجَدَ أُمَّهُ تَخْذُلُهُ (K, TA) [which may be rendered He found his mother to hold back from him; or to leave him, and hold back from going with him: or it means] he found his mother to hold back from going with her female companions, or to remain behind them, with him; or to remain alone with him. (T.)

تخاذلوا They abstained from, or neglected, aiding, or assisting, one another: (S:) i. q. تدابروا [which has the foregoing signification accord. to the TA, but properly means they turned their backs, one upon another]: (K:) they left, forsook, or deserted, one another in trouble. (MA.) [And, accord. to Freytag's Lex., They fled from fight, or battle.] ― -b2- تخاذلت رِجْلَاهُ (said of an old man, TA) His legs became weak (S, K, TA) in consequence of some evil affection. (TA.) ― -b3- And تخاذل He was, or became, behind. (KL.) ― -b4- See also 1.

اـِنْخَذَلَ [ انخذلوا , accord. to Freytag's Lex., They were destitute of aid, or assistance: they fled.]

خُذَلَةٌ A man constantly abstaining from, or neglecting, the rendering of aid, or assistance. (IAar, S, K. * [In the K, this is not distinguished from خَاذِلٌ in the first of the senses assigned to this latter below. See also خَذُولٌ .])

خِذْلَانٌ : see 1, in two places.

خَذُولٌ One who often abstains from, or neglects, the rendering of aid, or assistance: so in the Kur xxv. 31, applied to the Devil; (TA;) because he forsakes the unbeliever, and declares himself to be clear of him, on the occasion of trial, or affliction. (Jel.) ― -b2- See also خَاذِلٌ . ― -b3- Also A mare that, when suffering from the pain of parturition, moves not from her place. (ISd, K.) ― -b4- خَذُولُ الرِّجْلِ A man whose leg aids him not, in consequence of weakness, (S, * TA,) or of some evil affection, or of intoxication. (TA.)

خَاذِلٌ Abstaining from, or neglecting, the rendering of aid, or assistance. (S, K.) ― -b2- And Any one leaving, forsaking, or deserting. (TA.) ― -b3- Also, and ↓ خَذُولٌ , (T, K,) A female gazelle, and a [wild] cow, holding back from going with her female companions, or remaining behind them, with her young one, in the place of pasturage: or remaining alone with him: (T:) or a female gazelle, &c., (K,) as, for instance, a [wild] cow, (TA,) holding back from going with her female companions, and remaining alone: or holding back, or remaining behind, not overtaking [the others]: (K:) or the latter signifies a female gazelle that has left, forsaken, or deserted, her young ones. (EM p. 60.) ― -b4- And the former, A female gazelle remaining attending to her young one; as also ↓ مُخْذِلٌ . (K. [See 1.]) ― -b5- Also Routed, defeated, or put to flight. (IAar, K.)

مُخْذِلٌ : see the next preceding paragraph.

مَخْذُولٌ Having no aider, or assister. (Jel in xvii. 23.)
