(TA.)

حَقَنَ اللَّبَنَ (Ṣ, Mgh, Ḳ) فِى السِّقَآءِ, (Ḳ,) aor. ـُ {يَحْقُنُ}, (Ṣ,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He collected the milk in the skin, (Ṣ, Mgh,) and poured fresh milk upon that which was curdled, or thick, or upon that which was churned: (Ṣ:) or he poured the milk into the skin, [and kept it therein] that its butter might come forth.

حَقَنَ البَوْلَ, (Ks, Ṣ, M,) or بَوْلَهُ, (Mgh, Mṣb,) He kept in, or retained, (M, Mgh, Mṣb,) and collected, (Mgh, Mṣb,) the urine, (M,) or his urine: (Mgh, Mṣb:) one should not say احقنهُ↓; (Ks, Ṣ, M;) nor should one say [of the urine] حَقَنَنِى هُوَ. (M.)

حَقَنَ دَمَهُ, (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ,) and حَقَنَ لَهُ دَمَهُ, (TA from a trad.,) ‡ He prevented or forbade, the shedding of his blood, (Ṣ, Mgh, TA,) and the slaying him; (TA;) [he spared his blood, or forbore to shed it;] i. e., (Mgh,) he saved him (Mgh, Ḳ) from slaughter (Ḳ) when it had become lawful to slay him; from حَقَنَ اللَّبَنَ; (Mgh;) contr. of هَدَرَهُ; as though he collected his blood in him, and did not pour it forth. (Mṣb.)

حَقَنَ مَآءَ وَجْهِهِ † He preserved [the lustre of his face; meaning his honour,or reputation]. (TA.)

حَقَنَ المَرِيضَ (Ṣ,* Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ *) He administered to the sick person what is termed حُقْنَة, i. e. [a clyster,] a medicine put into a مِحْقَنَة; (Mgh;) he conveyed medicine into the inside of the sick person by his anus (مِنْ مَخْرَجِهِ) with the مِحْقَنَة. (Mṣb.) See also 8.

The saying اِحْتَقَنَ الصَّبِىُّ بِلَبَنِ أُمِّهِ [meaning The child had its mother's milk administered to it as a clyster] is farfetched: and اُحْتُقِنَ is not allowable: the right expression is حُقِنَ↓, or عُولِجَ بِالحُقْنَةِ. (Mgh.)

And اِحْتَقَنَتِ الرَّوْضَةُ The روضة [i. e. meadow, or garden,] had its sides elevated عَلَى سَائِرِهَا [above the rest of it]: so says AḤn: in the Ḳ, على سَرَارِهَا [above the depressed, or the best, or most fruitful, part of it: in the CK, سِرارِها]. (TA.)

And, by extension of the meaning, The tube of a مِحْقَنَة. (Mgh.)

And, as a subst., (Ṣ,) Milk collected in a skin, (Ṣ, IF, Mṣb,) when fresh milk has been poured upon that which has become curdled, or thick, or upon that which has been churned. (Ṣ, TA.) Hence the prov., أَبَى الحَقِينُ العِذْرَةَ; i. e. العُذْرَ; [The milk collected in the skin,, &c., has disallowed the excuse;] (AʼObeyd, Ṣ, TA;) applied to him who excuses himself when having no [real] excuse: (TA:) originally said by a man who asked some people to give him milk to drink, upon their excusing themselves while they had milk which they had collected in a skin; meaning, this حقبن belies you. (AʼObeyd, TA.)

حَاقِنٌ A man keeping in, or retaining, and collecting, his urine; from حَقِينٌ meaning “milk collected in a skin:” (IF, Mṣb:) [suffering from retention of the urine:] having urine that distresses [by its quantity]: (Ṣ, TA:) having much urine retained and collected: (Mgh:) andحَقِنٌ↓ signifies the same.

† A moon a little after or before the change (هِلَال) having its two extremities elevated, and its back decumbent. (Ḳ.) Hence the saying, هِلَالٌ وَاقِفٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ هِلَالٍ حَاقِنٍ ‡ [A هلال erect (here meaning nearly erect) is better, or more auspicious, than a هلال decumbent]. (A, TA.) [See also أَذْفَقُ.]

الحَاقِنَةُ The stomach; (Ḳ;) an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant; because it retains, or collects, the food: (TA:) and the pit between each collar-bone and what is termed حَبْلُ العَاتِقِ [explained in art. حبل, q. v.]; (AA, Ṣ, Ḳ;*) the two together being termed [the] حَاقِنَتَانِ: (AA, Ṣ:) the pit of each collar-bone: (T, TA:) the part between the collar-bone and the neck: (TA:) or the lower part of the belly: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) pl. الحَوَاقِنُ. (T, TA.) [See also الذَّاقِنَةُ.] Hence, (Ḳ,) it is said in a prov., لَأُلْحِقَنَّ حَوَاقِنَكَ بِذَوَاقِنِكِ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) i. e. [I will assuredly conjoin] the lower part of thy belly with the upper part thereof: or the part of thy belly that retains, or collects, the food, with the lower part of thy belly, and with thy knees. (TA.) The ذَاقِنَة is [also said to be] the extremity of the حُلْقُوم [or windpipe]: and hence the saying attributed to ʼÁïsheh, that the Prophet died [with his head] between her حَاقِنَة and her ذَاقِنَة. (Ṣ.)

مِحْقَنٌ A skin in which milk is collected; fresh milk being poured into it upon that which is curdled, or thick, or upon that which has been churned: (Ṣ:) or a skin into which milk is poured, [and in which it is kept,] that its butter may come forth. (Ḳ.)
