(T in art. تلو.) And ↓ خِذْلَانٌ signifies God's failing to preserve a man; accord. to Az, from an evil action; so that he falls into it. (TA.) It is said in the Kur [iii. 154], وَ إِِنْ يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا ا@لَّذِى يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ [But if He fail to aid you, or to preserve you, then who is he that will aid you after Him?]: here 'Obeyd Ibn-'Omeyr read ↓ يُخْدِلْكُمْ , with damm to the ى and kesr to the ذ. (TA.) ― -b2- And خَذَلَ He (a gazelle) held back from going with the herd; or remained behind the herd. (As, S.) And خَذَلَتْ She (a gazelle, &c., K, as, for instance, a [wild] cow, TA) held back from going with her female companions, and remained alone: or held back, or remained behind, not overtaking [the others]: (K:) or you say, of a female gazelle, and of a [wild] cow, تَخْذُلُ صَوَاحِبَاتِهَا She holds back from going with her female companions, or remains behind them, with her young one, in the place of pasturage: or remains alone with him; as A'Obeyd says, on the authority of As. (T, TA.) And خَذَلَتْ She (a wild animal, S, O, or a gazelle, K) remained attending to her young one [when the rest of the herd had gone]; (S, O, K;) said by some to be inverted [as to the meaning], because she is [not the one that leaves, but] the one that is left; (S;) as also ↓ تخاذلت , (S, K,) and ↓ اخذلت . (K.) ― -b3- A poet says, (namely, 'Adee Ibn-Zeyd, TA,) describing a horse, “ فَهْوَ كَالدَّلْوِ بِكَفِّ المُسْتَقِى
خَذَلَتْ عَنْهُ العَرَاقِى فَا@نْجَذَمْ
” meaning [And he is, or was, like the bucket in the hand of the drawer of water,] of which the cross pieces of wood have become separated from it [so that it has become severed from the wellrope]. (S.)
