فَزِعَ

[1] فَزِعَ , (S, O, Msb, K,) and فَزَعَ, (K,) aor. فَزَعَ , of the former verb, (Msb, K,) and of the latter also, (K,) inf. n. فَزَعٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) which is of the former verb, (S, * O, Msb, TA,) and [of the latter verb] فَزْعٌ [فَزَعًا in the CK being a mistake for فَزْعًا] and ?? (K, TA,) He feared; or was, or became, in fear, afraid, frightened, or terrified; (S, O, Msb, K, TA;) and so ↓ تفزّع: (TA in art. روع:) you say, فَزِعَ مِنْهُ he feared him, or it; or was, or became, in fear, &c., of him, or it: (MA, Msb, TA:) accord. to Er-Rághib, فَزَعٌ signifies a shrinking, and an aversion, that comes upon a man, from a thing causing fear or fright; and is a kind of جَزَع [q. v.]; and one should not say فَزِعْتُ مِنَ ٱللّٰهِ like as one says خِفْتُ مِنْهُ: or, as Mbr says, in the “ Kámil, ” its primary signification is the fearing, or being in fear or afraid or frightened or terrified: then, by a metonymical application, it signifies a people's going forth quickly to repel an enemy, or the like, that has come upon them suddenly; and this meaning has become [conventionally regarded as] proper. (TA.) ― 2-b2- فَزَعٌ signifies also The seeking, or demanding, aid, or succour: (Az, K, TA:) and the aiding, or succouring; (Az, S, O, K, TA;) this latter being likewise a signification of ↓ إِفْزَاعٌ: (S, O:) an ex. of the former word (S, O, TA) in the latter sense (O, TA) occurs in the saying of the Prophet to the Ansár, إِنَّكُمْ لَتَكْثُرُونَ عِنْدَ الفَزَعِ وَ تَقِلُّونَ عِنْدَ الطَّمَعِ [Verily ye are many on the occasion of aiding, or succouring, and ye are few on the occasion of coveting, or greed]; (S, O, TA;) or in this saying the implied meaning may be, on the occasion of men's betaking themselves to you in fear (عِنْدَ فَزَعِ النَّاسِ إِلَيْكُمْ) in order that ye may aid or succour them [which is virtually the same as their seeking your aid or succour]: (TA:) thus [it is said] فَزَعٌ has two contr. significations: (K:) and both of these significations are expressed by the verb فَزِعَ: (O:) you say فَزِعَ إِلَيْهِ and فَزِعَ مِنْهُ; (K in continuation of what has been last cited therefrom above, and TA; [app. meant to indicate that both of these phrases signify he sought, or demanded, aid, or succour, of him; and he aided, or succoured, him; or that the former phrase has the former signification; and the latter phrase, the latter signification; though accord. to the TK, both phrases have the former signification, and the former phrase has also the latter signification;]) but you should not say فَزَعَهُ, (K, TA,) i. e. like مَنَعَهُ: (TA:) [or] from الفَزَعُ as signifying “ fear, ” or “ fright, ” you say فَزِعْتُ إِلَيْكَ and فَزِعْتُ مِنْكَ; [app. meant to indicate that the former phrase signifies I betook myself to thee in fear, which is a meaning thereof well known, and nearly agreeing with an explanation of the verb followed by إِلَيْهِ which will be found below in this paragraph; and that the latter phrase signifies I feared thee, or I was, or became, in fear, &c., of thee, the only meaning, of this phrase, for which I find any explicit authority, and one for which I have given three authorities in the first sentence of this art.;] but you should not say فَزِعْتُكَ: (S: [thus in my copies, فَزِعْتُكَ, not فَزَعْتُكَ:]) or فَزِعَ إِلَيْهِمْ signifies he sought, or demanded, of them, aid, or succour; and فَزَعَهُمْ and فَزِعَهُمْ signify he aided, or succoured, them, syn. أَغَاثَهُمْ [in the CK اَعانَهُمْ] and نَصَرَهُمْ, like ↓ أَفْزَعَهُمْ: (K, TA:) accord. to IB, فَزِعْتُهُ meaning أَغَثْتُهُ is originally فَزِعْتُ له [primarily signifying I feared, or became in fear &c., for him]; then the ل was dropped; for one says فَزِعْتُهُ and فَزِعْتُ لَهُ: (TA:) or فَزِعَ, like فَرِحَ, signifies اِنْتَصَرَ: (K: [thus in the copies of the K, and hence in the TA, app. a mistranscription for اِسْتَنْصَرَ, he sought, or demanded, aid, or aid against an enemy:]) and فَزِعَ إِلَيْهِ he betook himself, or had recourse, to him, or it, for refuge, protection, or preservation, (S, O, Msb, K, TA,) by reason of fear, or fright, (S,) and sought, or demanded, aid, or succour, by him, or it; whence, in a trad. respecting the eclipse of the sun, فَٱفْزَعُواإِلَى الصَّلَاة i. e. Then betake yourselves, &c., to prayer, and seek, or demand, aid, or succour, by it. (TA.) ― 2-b3- فَزِعَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ means He became roused from his sleep; (O, K;) because he who is roused is not free from some fear, or fright: occurring in a trad. in this sense. (O.) And one says, فَزِعْتُ بِمَجِىْءِ فُلَانٍ, meaning I prepared [or roused] myself by reason of the coming of such a one, by a change of state, or condition, like as the sleeper passes from the state of sleeping to that of waking. (TA.) ＝ 1-A2- فَزَعَهُ in the phrase فَازَعَهُ ↓ فَفَزَعَهُ means He exceeded him in fear, or fright. (TA.) ＝ 1-A3- فُزِعَ عَنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ: see the next paragraph.
