حَسَّ, (first pers. حَسِسْتُ, or حَسَسْتُ, and حَسِيتُ, and حَسَيْتُ, and حَسْتُ,) as syn. with أَحَسَّ: see 4, throughout.

حَسَّ لَهُ, first pers. حَسَسْتُ, aor. ـِ {يَحْسِسُ}; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) and first pers. حَسِسْتُ,, [aor. ـَ {يَحْسَسُ};] (Yaạḳoob, Ṣ, Ḳ;) inf. n. حِسٌّ (Ṣ, Ḳ) and حَسٌّ, (Ḳ,) or the latter is inf. n. of both verbs, but the former is a simple subst., (TA,) He was, or became, tender, or compassionate, towards him: (Ṣ, Ḳ:)[lit., he felt for him:] ISd says that, for رَقَقْتُ لَهُ, the explanation of حسستُ له, he found in the book of Kr the verb written with ف and ق; but that the former [?] is the right: (TA:) or he lamented for him; (Aboo-Málik, TA;) as alsoحَسْحَسَ↓ لَهُ. (Ḳ,* TA.) The Arabs say, إِنَّ العَامِرِىَّ لَيَحِسُّ لِلسَّعْدِىِّ Verily the 'Ámiree is tender, or compassionate, towards the Saadee; because of the relationship that subsists between them. (TA.) And Abu-l-Jarráh El-'Okeylee said, مَارَأَيْتُ عُقَيْلِيًّا إِلَّا حَسَسْتُ لَهُ I have not seen an 'Okeylee without my feeling tenderness, or compassion, towards him; (Ṣ, TA;) for the same reason. (TA.) [See حَاسَّةٌ, second signification.]

حَسَّهُ, [aor. ـُ {يَحْسُسُ}, inf. n. حَسٌّ,] He made his حِسّ [i. e. sound, or motion,] to cease. (Bḍ in iii. 145.)

Hence, (Bḍ, ubi suprà,) حَسَّهُمْ, aor. ـُ {يَحْسُسُ}, (Ṣ, A, Bḍ, Mṣb,) inf. n. حَسٌّ, (Mṣb, Ḳ,) [and app., accord. to Fr, حِسٌّ, or this may be a simple subst.,] He slew them: (Bḍ, Mṣb, Ḳ:) and extirpated them: (Ḳ:) or he slew them quickly: (A, TA:) or he extirpated them by slaughter: (Aboo-Is-ḥáḳ, Ṣ:) or he slew them with a quick and extirpating slaughter: or with a vehement slaughter: (TA:) it occurs in the Ḳur iii. 145: (Ṣ, A:) accord. to Fr, حِسٌّ, [so in the TA,] in this instance, is the act of slaying and destroying. (TA.) [Hence, حُسَّ app. signifies It was utterly destroyed, so that nothing was left in the place thereof; and soاحتسّ↓; for it is said that] حِسٌّ and اِحْتِسَاسٌ, with respect to anything, signify أَنْ لَا يُتْرَكَ فِى المَكَانِ شَىْءٌ. (TA.) Also حَسَّهُمْ, aor. as above, He trod them under foot, and despised them. (TA.) And حَسَّ البَرْدُ الجَرَادَ The cold killed the locusts. (Ṣ.)

[Hence,] الجَرَادُ تَحُسُّ الأَرْضَ The locusts eat the herbage of the land. (TA.) And حَسَّ البَرْدُ الكَلَأَ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) or الزَّرْعَ, (A,) aor. ـُ {يَحْسُسُ}, (Ṣ, TA,) inf. n. حَسٌّ, (TA,) ‡ The cold nipped, shrunk, shrivelled, or blasted, (lit., burned, أَحْرَقَ, q. v.,) the herbage, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) or the seed-produce. (A.)

حَسَّ الدَّابَّةَ, (Ṣ, TA,) or حَسَّهَا بِالمِحَسَّةِ, (A,) aor. ـُ {يَحْسُسُ}, (Ṣ,) inf. n. حَسٌّ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) ‡ He curried the beast; removed the dust from it with the مِحَسَّة. (Ṣ, A, Ḳ, TA.) [See a proverb, voce حَشَّ.] Hence the saying of Zeyd Ibn-Soohán, on the day of the battle of the Camel, when he was carried off from the field, about to die, اِدْفِنُونِى فِى ثِيَابِى وَلَا تَحُسُّوا عَنِّى تُرَابًا ‡ [Bury ye me in my clothes, and] shake not off any dust from me. (Ṣ, TA.)

حَسَّسْتُ الشَّىْءَ [a mistake in the CK for حَسَسْتُ]: see 4.

احسّ الشَّىْءَ, (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) inf. n. إِحْسَاسٌ, (Mṣb,) He perceived, or became sensible of, (وَجَدَ,) the حِسّ (i. e. motion or sound, TA) of the thing: (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA:) he knew the thing by means of [any of] the senses: (IAth, accord. to his explanation of الإِحْسَاسُ as signifying العِلْمُ بِالحَوَاسِّ:) he ascertained the thing as one ascertains a thing that is perceived by the senses: (Bḍ in iii. 45:) he knew the thing; or he perceived it by means of any of the senses; syn. عَلِمَ بِهِ, (Mṣb,) and عَلِمَهُ, and عَرَفَهُ, and شَعَرَ بِهِ; (TA;) as alsoحَسَّهُ↓, aor. ـُ {يَحْسُسُ}, inf. n. حَسٌّ and حِسٌّ and حَسِيسٌ; (TA, in explanation of the saying in the Ḳ that حَسَسْتُ الشَّىْءَ [in the CK erroneouslyحَسَّسْتُ↓] signifies the same as أَحْسَسْتُهُ;) and in like manner احسّ بِهِ is syn. with شَعَرَ بِهِ; (L, Mṣb;) and so isحَسَّ↓ بِهِ, aor. ـُ {يَحْسُسُ}, inf. n. حِسٌّ (L, Mṣb) and حَسٌّ and حَسِيسٌ; (L;) or حِسٌّ is a simple subst.: (M, L:) accord. to Fr, إِحْسَاسٌ is syn. with وُجُودٌ; and Zj says that the meaning of احسّ is عَلِمَ and وَجَدَ: (TA:) or احسّ signifies he perceived, or became sensible of; syn. وَجَدَ: and he thought, or opined: (Akh, Ṣ, Ḳ:) and he saw; syn. أَبْصَرَ: and he knew: (Ḳ:) and is trans. in these senses by itself, (Akh, Ṣ,) or by means of بِ: (TA:) and أَحْسَسْتُ بِهِ signifies I knew it certainly; was certain, or sure, of it; (Ṣ;) as alsoحَسِسْتُ↓ به, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) with kesr; (Ḳ;) speaking of news, or tidings: (Ṣ:) and for أَحْسَسْتُ, some say أَحْسَيْتُ, (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) changing the [second] س into ى; (Ṣ, Mṣb;) and أَحَسْتُ, (T, Ṣ, L, Ḳ,) with a single س, which is an extr. kind of contraction, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) but made in all other similar cases, where the last radical letter is quiescent; (Sb, L, TA;) and [thus] for أَحْسَسْنَ, we find أَحَسْنَ; (Ṣ;) and in like manner, forحَسِسْتُ↓, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) orحَسَسْتُ↓, (Mṣb,) some say حَسِيتُ, (T, Ṣ, M, L,) and حَسَّيْتُ, (M, L, Mṣb, Ḳ, [in the CK حَسْتُ, which is the modern vulgar form,]) and حَسْتُ. (Abu-l-Ḥasan, IAạr, T, M, L.) You say, احسّهُ بِعَيْنِهِ [He perceived him, or it, with his eye]; (Ibn-Zekereeyà, TA in art. جس;) and soحَسَّهُ↓. (Ṣgh, TA ibid.) [In the present art. in the TA, it is said that حَسَّهُ بالنصل is syn. with أَحَسَّهُ: but بالنّصل is evidently a mistranscription for بِالبَصَرِ.] And it is said in the Ḳur [iii. 45], فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ عِيسَى مِنْهُمُ الكُفْرَ And when Jesus ascertained their unbelief as one ascertains a thing that is perceived by the senses: (Bḍ:) or opined it; or perceived it, or became sensible of it: (Akh, Ṣ:) or saw it: (Lḥ, TA:) or knew it, or perceived it sensibly. (Mṣb.) And in the same [xix. last verse], هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ Dost thou see of them any one? (TA.) You say also, هَلْ أَحْسَسْتَ الخَبَرَ Hast thou known the news? (TA.) And أَحْسَسْتُ بِالخَبَرِ, and أَحْسَيْتُ بِهِ, andحَسِسْتُ↓ به, and حَسِيتُ به, I knew the news certainly. (Ṣ.) And أَحْسَسْتُ الخَبَرَ, and أَحَسْتُهُ, andحَسِيتُهُ↓, and حَسْتُهُ, I knew somewhat of the news. (T, L, TA.) And مَا أَحْسَسْتُ بِاخَبَرِ, and مَا اَحَسْتُ بِهِ, andما حَسِيتُ↓ به, and ما حَسْتُ به, I knew not aught of the news. (T, L, TA.)

تحسّس He listened to the discourse of people: (El-Ḥarbee, Ḳ:) accord. to Aboo-Mo'ádh, it is similar to تَسَمَّعَ and تَبَصَّرَ: (TA:) or he sought repeatedly, or time after time, to know a thing, by the sense (الحاسة) [of hearing, &c.]: (Ḥar p. 678:) or (so accord. to the TA, but in the Ḳ “and,”) he sought after, (Mṣb, Ḳ.) or sought after repeatedly, or time after time, (Mṣb,) news, or tidings, of a people, in a good cause; (Ḳ;) تجسّس signifying the doing the same in an evil cause: AʼObeyd says, you say, تَحَسَّسْتُ الخَبَرَ and تَجَسَّسْتُهُ; and Sh says that تَنَدَّسْتُهُ is similar to it; and IAạr, that تَحَسَّسْتُ الخَبَرَ and تَبَجَّسْتُهُ [but this is app. a mistranscription for تَبَحَّثْتُهُ] signify the same. (TA.) You say also, تحسّس مِنَ الشَّيْءِ He asked, or inquired, after news, or tidings, of the thing. (Ṣ, TA.) And تحسّس فُلَانًا, and مِنْ فُلَانٍ, He inquired, or sought for information, respecting such a one; as also تجسّس: or the former signifies he sought after him for himself; and the latter, “he sought after him for another.” (TA, art. جس.) The passage in which it occurs in the Ḳur xii. 87, has been differently interpreted, accord. to the several explanations here given. (TA.)
