(L.) مَا يَدَعُ فُلَانٌ شَاذًّا وَلَا نَادًّا إِِلَّا قَتَلَهُ [Such a one does not leave any one apart from his companions, nor any one taking fright and running away, but he slays him,] is said of a courageous man whom no one encounters without his slaying him. (IAar, L.) And one says شُذَّانُ قَوْمٍ Those, of a people, who have become apart, or separate, from their companions. (L, from a trad.) And شُذَّاذُ النَّاسِ Those who are among a people but do not belong to their tribes (S, L) nor to their places of abode: (L:) and those who are scattered, or dispersed, of people; (A, L;) as also النَّاسِ ↓ شَذَّانُ , (S, L,) and شُذَّانُهُمْ. (L.) And قَوْمٌ شُذَّاذٌ A people not among their own tribe nor in their own places of abode: (L, K: *) or a people among another people, not among their own tribes nor in their own places of abode.

(M, L.) ― -b2- Applied to a word, form or measure, construction, or government, it signifies (tropical:) Deviating from the common, or constant, course of speech in respect of analogy, or rule; deviating from common, or constant, analogy or rule; extraordinary, or exceptional, as to rule; or anomalous, abnormal, or irregular: such a word, &c., though itself admitted if agreeable with common usage, is not taken as an example to be imitated: also, applied to the same, deviating from the common, or constant, course of speech in respect of usage; deviating from common, or constant, usage; extraordinary, or exceptional, as to usage; unusual: [used absolutely to express each of these significations; the context in general showing clearly which signification is meant: the former is that which is most frequently intended:] a word, &c., may be شاذّ in respect of usage but agreeable with common analogy or rule; as the pret. of يَذَرُ and يَدَعُ; and the regular phrase مَكَانٌ مُبْقِلٌ, the epithet more commonly heard being بَاقِلٌ: and شاذّ in respect of analogy, or rule, but agreeable with common usage; as أَخْوَصَ الرِّمْثُ, and اِسْتَصْوَبْتُ الأَمْرَ: and شاذّ in respect of analogy, or rule, and of usage, together; as ثَوْبٌ مَصْوُونٌ, and مِسْكٌ مَدْوُوفٌ: (Mz, 12th نوع: [and the like is said, but less fully, in the Msb:]) the pl. masc. is شُذَّاذٌ; and pl. fem. شَوَاذُّ. (Mz, ib.) See 4, last sentence. [See also the contr. مُطَّرِدٌ: and see شَذَّ, latter part.] ― -b3- Applied to a tradition, (assumed tropical:) Having a single ascription, attested by a [single] sheykh, whether he be trustworthy or not: in the latter case, not accepted: in the former case, one hesitates respecting it, and does not adduce it as an argument, or evidence.
