1 حَلَّ حل , (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. حَلُ3َ , inf. n. حَلٌّ, (S, Mgh, Msb,) He untied, or undid, (K, TA,) or opened, (S,) a knot: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) this is the primary signification. (Er-Rághib, TA.) Hence, يَا عَاقِدُ ا@ذْكُرْ حَلًّا [O tyer of a knot, bear in mind the time of untying: or حَابِلُ O binder, or tyer, of the rope: (see art. حبل:)] (S, TA:) or, as IAar relates it, يا حَامِلُ [O loader]: a prov., applied to the consideration of results; because a man may tie a load too tightly; and when he desires to untie it, may injure himself and his camel. (TA. [See also a similar saying below, in the second paragraph.]) And الشُّفْعَةُ كَحَلِّ العِقَالِ [The right of preemption is like the untying of the cord with which a camel's fore shank and arm are bound together]: meaning that it is accomplished as quickly and easily as the عقال is untied: the explanation that it passes away quickly, like the camel when his عقال is untied, is improbable. (Mgh, Msb. *) And hence the saying [in the Kur xx. 28], وَ ا@حْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِنْ لِسَانِى (assumed tropical:) [And loose Thou an impediment of, or from, my tongue]. (Er-Rághib, TA.) The pass. is pronounced by some حُلَّ, and by others حِلَّ: thus in the saying of El-Farezdak, “ فَمَا حِلَّ مِنْ جَهْلٍ حُبَى حُلَمَائِنَا
وَ لَا قَابِلُ المَعْرُوفِ فِينَا يُعَنَّفُ
” [And the garments of our forbearing men by which they support themselves in sitting by binding them, or making them tight, round the shanks and back are not loosed through ignorance, nor is the accepter of the benefit, among us, reproached]; the kesreh of the first ل [in the original form حُلِلَ] being transferred to the ح: but Akh heard it pronounced in this instance حُلَّ; and some, he says, in this word, and in others like it, as رُدَّ and شُدَّ, only impart to the dammeh somewhat of the sound of kesreh, by the pronunciation termed إِِشْمَام. (S.) ― -b2- [He, or it, dissolved, melted, or liquefied, a thing; as also ↓ حلّل , inf. n. تَحْلِيلٌ, often said of a medicine as meaning it acted as a dissolvent.] حُلَّ, (M, K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) meaning It was dissolved, melted, or liquefied, is said of anything congealed, frozen, or solid. (M, K.) ― -b3- [(assumed tropical:) He solved a problem, or riddle, &c. ― -b4- (assumed tropical:) He analyzed a thing; as also ↓ حلّل , inf. n. as above.] ― -b5- حَلَّ اليَمِينَ: see 2. ― -b6- From حَلُّ الأَحْمَالِ عِنْدَ النُّزُولِ [The untying, unbinding, or loosing, of the loads on the occasion of alighting], حَلَّ, inf. n. حُلُولٌ, came to be used alone as meaning نَزَلَ [i. e. He alighted; or descended and stopped or sojourned or abode or lodged or settled; and simply he took up his abode; or he abode, lodged, or settled; in a place]. (Er-Rághib, TA.) You say, حَلَّ بِالْمَكَانِ (S, K) or بِالْبَلَدِ, (Msb,) and حَلَّ المَكَانَ (S, Mgh, * K) or البَلَدَ, (Msb,) aor. حَلُ3َ (S, Msb, K) and حَلِ3َ , (K,) both of which forms of the aor. are mentioned by Ibn-Málik, (TA,) inf. n. حُلُولٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and حَلٌّ (S, K) and حَلَلٌ, which is extr., (K,) and مَحَلٌّ (S, TA) and مَحِلٌّ; (TA;) and بِهِاحتلّ (S, * K) and ↓ احتلّهُ ; (K;) meaning نَزَلَ بِهِ [He alighted, or descended and stopped &c. (as above), in the place or the country or town &c.]. (Msb, K, TA.) And in like manner, حَلَّ بِالقَوْمِ and حَلَّ القَوْمَ (S, ISd, TA) and بِهِمْاحتلّ and ↓ احتلّهُمْ (ISd, TA) [He alighted, or descended and stopped &c., at, or in, the abode of the people or party]; and حَلَّ إِِلَى القَوْم signifies the same. (TA.) And حُلَّ المَكَانُ The place was alighted in, or taken as an abode; (TA;) was inhabited. (K.) [Hence, in philosophy, حُلُولٌ signifies (assumed tropical:) Temporary or separable, and permanent or inseparable, indwelling or inbeing: and حَلَّ بِهِ or فِيهِ (assumed tropical:) It had, or became in the condition of having, such indwelling or inbeing in it.

And كَذَاحَلَّ مَحَلَّ (assumed tropical:) It took, or occupied, the place of such a thing.] ― -b7- And hence, (TA,) حَلَّ الهَدْىُ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. حَلِ3َ , (S, Msb,) inf. n. حِلَّةٌ and حُلُولٌ, (S, K,) (tropical:) The beasts for sacrifice arrived at the place where it was lawful for them to be sacrificed, (S, K, TA,) or at the place in which they should be sacrificed. (Msb.) ― -b8- حَلَّ said of a punishment has for its aor. حَلُ3َ and حَلِ3َ , and the inf. n. is حُلُولٌ: (Msb:) [but it is said that] حَلَّ العَذَابُ, aor. حَلُ3َ , means (assumed tropical:) The punishment alighted, or descended: and حَلَّ, aor. حَلِ3َ , (assumed tropical:) it was, or became, due, or necessitated by the requirements of justice to take effect: it is said in the Kur [xx. 83], فَيَحُلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبِى (assumed tropical:) [test my anger alight upon you, or befall you]; or فَيَحِلَّ عليكم (assumed tropical:) [test it become due to you]; accord. to different readings: (S, O:) or when you say, حَلَّ بِهِمْ العَذَابُ, [you mean (assumed tropical:) The punishment alighted upon them, or befell them; and] the aor. is حَلُ3َ only: and when you say, حَلَّ عَلَىَّ, or لَكَ, [you mean (assumed tropical:) It became due to me, or to thee; and] the aor. is حَلَ3َ : أَنْ يَحُلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ [in the Kur xx. 89,] means (assumed tropical:) that anger should alight upon you, or befall you, from your Lord [accord. to those who read thus instead of يَحِلَّ; but the latter is the common reading]. (TA.) You say also, حَلَّ أَمْرُ ا@للّٰهِ عَلَيْهِ, aor. حَلِ3َ , inf. n. حُلُولٌ, meaning (assumed tropical:) [The threatened punishment of God] was, or became, due to him, or necessitated by the requirements of justice to take effect upon him.

(TA.) Hence the saying, الزَّوْجُ أَحَقُّ بِرَجْعَتِهَا مَا لَمْ تَحِلَّ لَهَا الصَلَاةُ (assumed tropical:) [The husband is entitled to taking her back to the marriage-state as long as prayer is not lawful to her]. (Mgh.) And the saying, in a trad., لَمَّا رَأَى الشَّمْسَ قَدْ وَقَبَتْ قَالَ هٰذَا حِينُ حِلِّهَا, i. e.
