(Ṣ.)

He removed, withdrew, or retired to a distance, (AʼObeyd, Ṣ, Ḳ,) and drew back, (Ṣ,) عَنْهُ [or مِنْهُ] from him or it; (TA;) as alsoتحيّز↓; (AʼObeyd, Ṣ;) andانحاز↓. (A.)

حَوْزٌ inf. n. of 1 [q. v.].

فِى حَوْزِهِ: see حَوْزَةٌ.

A place of which a man takes possession, (TA,) and around which a dam (مُسَنَّاةٌ) is made: (Ḳ, TA:) pl. أَحْوَازٌ. (TA.)

حَوْزُ الدَّارِ: see حَيِّزٌ.

لَيْلَةُ الحَوْزِ The first night during which camels repair towards the water (Aṣ, Ṣ, Ḳ) when it is distant from the pasture: (Aṣ, Ṣ:) because they are driven gently that night: but when their faces are turned towards the water and they are left to pasture that night, the night is called لَيْلَةُ الطَّلَقِ. (TA.) One says to a man, when he holds back respecting an affair, دَعْنِى مِنْ حَوْزِكَ وَطَلَقِكَ † [Let me alone and cease from this and that discursion of thine]. (TA.) And one says also, طَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا فُلَانٌ بِٱلْحَوْزِ وَٱلطَّلَقِ قَبْلَ القَرَبِ † [Such a one was prolix, or tedious, to us with this and that discursion before coming to the point]. (TA.)

حَوْزٌ is also used as an epithet; though properly an inf. n.: you say, سَوْقٌ حَوْزٌ [A gentle driving: or a vehement driving]. (TA.)

حَوْزَةٌ i. q. حَيِّزٌ, as pointed out in two places below. (Ṣ, Mṣb, &c.)

[Hence,] † A thing that is in one's possession or occupation; a thing that is one's property: so in the saying of a certain woman, وَأَحْمِى حَوْزَةَ الغَائِبِ † And I guard from encroachment the property of the absent: meaning her فَرْج, which was the property of her husband by the marriage-contract: whence it appears that, if this saying be the only ground upon which Az has asserted that one of the significations of حَوْزَةٌ is the فَرْج of a woman, [as is also said in the Ḳ,] his assertion requires consideration; for a woman's فرج is her own when she has no husband; and when she is married, it is her husband's property. (L, TA.) You say also, صَارَفِى حَوْزَتِهِ, andفِى حَوْزِهِ↓, [andفى حَيِّزِهِ↓,] It became in his possession, or occupation. (L, TA.) And فُلَانٌ مَانِعٌ حَوْزَتَهُ † Such a one defends, or guards, from encroachment, or invasion, or attack, what is in his حَيِّز [or place; meaning, in his possession or occupation]. (TA.) In like manner, a poet says,

* حَمَى حَوْزَاتِهِ فَتُرِكْنَ قَفْرًا *

He guarded from encroachment his tracts of pasture-land [so that they were left deserted]. (Fr, TA.) And it is said in a trad., فَحَمَى حَوْزَةً الإِسْلَامِ ‡ And he defended, or protected, or guarded, from encroachment, or invasion, or attack, the limits, [meaning, what the limits comprised, i. e., the territory,] and the tracts, or regions, of El-Islám [meaning, of the Muslims]. (TA.) حَوْزَةُ المُلْكِ signifies [in like manner] بَيْضَتُهُ [i. e. † The seat of regal power: or the heart, or principal part, of the kingdom]. (Ṣ, Ḳ.)

† Nature; or natural disposition, temper, or other quality or property; (Ḳ, TA;) whether good or evil. (TA.)

حَيِّزٌ, (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb,) of the measure فَيْعِلٌ, (Mgh, Mṣb,) from الحَوْزُ, (Ṣ,* Mgh,) as signifying “the drawing, collecting, or gathering, together,” (Mgh,) originally حَيْوِزٌ, (TA,) and also contracted into حَيْزٌ, (Ṣ, Mṣb, TA,) like هَيِّنٌ and هَيْنٌ, and لَيِّنٌ and لَيْنٌ; (Ṣ, TA;) [The continent, or container, or receptacle, of anything; like بَيْضَةٌ; as alsoحَوْزَةٌ↓, q. v.:] any place in which a thing is: (Mgh:) in scholastic theology, the imaginary portion of space occupied by a thing having extent, as a body; or by a thing not having extent, as an indivisible atom: in philosophy, the inner surface of a container, which is contiguous [in every part] to the outer surface of the thing contained: and [hence,] الحَيِّزُ الطَبِيعِىُّ [the proper natural place of a thing;] that in which the nature of a thing requires it to be. (KT.)

A quarter, tract, region, or place, considered relatively, or as part of a whole; or a part, or portion, of a place; syn. نَاحِيَةٌ; (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb;) as alsoحَوْزَةٌ↓: (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ:) so the authors on practical law mean by حَيِّزٌ; such, for instance, as a room, or an apartment, of a house: (Mgh:) pl. أَحْيَازٌ, (Ṣ, Mṣb, TA,) which is extr., (TA,) being from the contracted form [حَيْزٌ]: (Mṣb:) by rule it should be أَحْوَازٌ, (Az, Mṣb, TA,) like أَمْوَاتٌ, pl. of مَيِّتٌ [and مَيْتٌ]: (Az, TA:) or by rule [if from the uncontracted form حَيِّزٌ] it should be حَيَائِزُ, with hemz, accord. to Sb; or حَيَاوِزُ, with و, accord. to Abu-l-Ḥasan. (TA.) حَيِّزُ الدَّارِ, (Ṣ, Mṣb, TA,) as alsoحَوْزُ↓ الدّارِ, (TA,) signifies What is annexed to the house, (Ṣ, TA,) or appertains thereto, (Mṣb,) of the مَرَافِق (Ṣ, Mṣb, TA) and مَنَافِع (TA) and نَوَاحٍ; (Mṣb;) [i. e., of the conveniences thereof, such as the privy and the kitchen and the like, and other parts or apartments;] such are termed collectively أَحْيَازُ الدَّارِ; (Mṣb;) and each part or apartment (نَاحِيَة), by itself, is termed حَيِّزٌ. (TA.)

[Hence the saying,] أَنَا فِى حَيِّزِهِ وَكَنَفِهِ ‡ [I am in his quarter and protection]. (A, TA.)

[And hence also the saying,] فِى حَيِّزِ التَّوَاتِرُ ‡ In the manner, and place, of [that kind of transmission which is termed] التواتر [which is “transmission by such a number of persons as cannot be supposed to have agreed to a falsehood:” as explained in the Mz, 3rd نوع]. (Mgh.)

And صَارَ فِى حَيِّزِهِ: see حَوْزَةٌ.

[And عَلَى حَيِّزِهِ By himself or itself.]

أَوْ مُتَحَيِّزًا إِلَى فِئَةٍ, in the Ḳur [viii. 16], signifies Or turning aside to a different company of the Muslims: (Mgh, Mṣb:*) or the meaning is, or separating themselves from others to betake themselves to [a different company of] those engaged in fighting. (Aboo-Is-ḥáḳ, TA.) The original form of مُتَحَيِّزٌ is مُتَحَيْوِزٌ. (TA.)

قِطْعَةٌ مِنَ الأَرْضِ مُسْتَحِيزَةٌ [A portion of the earth, or of land, comprehended within certain limits]. (M and Ḳ in art. بلد.)
