(K.) ― -b2- And [He did it quickly: or] he was quick in it; [as also حَذَمَ فِيهِ;] i. e., in any action. (S, Msb.) You say, حَذَمَ فِى مَشْيِهِ, (Msb,) and قِرَآءَتِهِ, فى (S, K,) He was quick [in his walking, or going, and in his reading, or reciting]: (S, Msb, K:) and so in other things: (K:) by “ other things ” being here meant walking and the like; for حَذْمٌ, of which the verb is حَذَمَ, signifies the being quick in walking, app. with a stretching out of the arms backwards: (TA:) and a light, an active, or an agile, walking. (S, TA.) [See also حَذَمَانٌ, below.] Hence, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) 'Omar said, (S, TA,) to the مُؤَذّن of Jerusalem, (TA,) إِِذَا أَذَّنْتَ قَتَرَسَّلْ وَإِِذَا أَقَمْتَ فَا@حْذِمْ, (S, A, Mgh, Msb, TA,) i. e. [When thou chantest the أَذَان, be moderate; not quick: and when thou chantest the إِِقَامَة,] cut short the lengthening of thine utterance; meaning, be quick in the اقامة: (As, Mgh, TA:) another reading is said to have been given by Z, namely, [فَا@خْذِمْ,] with خ. (TA.)
