M, Msb, K) and خَشْىٌ (JK, M, K) and خِشْىٌ
(Sgh, K) [the second and third erroneously written
in the CK خَشًا and (by indication) خِشًا] and
خَشَاةٌ (M, K) and خَشْيَانٌ, (JK, M, K,) though
it has been said that the only instances of this

what might happen to him from him, or it.
And خَشِىَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا He feared, or dreaded, for

بِالمَوْتِ حَتَّى خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذٰلِكَ أَسْهَلَ لَكَ عِنْدَ
نُزُولِهِ, is explained as meaning [Verily thou hast
prayed much for death, so that] I hope [that it
may be easier to thee when it happens]. (TA.)

2-b3- And sometimes خَشِيتُ means عَلِمْتُ [I knew,
or know]. (Msb.) So it is said to mean in the
saying of the poet.
وَلَقَدْ خَشِيتُ بِأَ مَنْ تَبِعَ الهُدَى
سكَنَ الجِنَانَ مَعَ النَّبِىِّ مُحَمَّدِ
[And I know assuredly that he who follows the
right direction shall dwell in the gardens of
Paradise with the Prophet Mohammad]: (S,
TA:) or the meaning may be, I hope. (TA.)
