حَاجِز

HaAjizN HAjz A thing intervening, as a separation, a partition, a fence, a barrier, or an obstacle, or obstruction, between two other things, (TA,) or between two things facing, or opposite to, each other; (Az, A, TA;) as also ↓ HijaAzN . (Az, A, TA.) Hence the province called El-Hijáz is thus named, because it forms a separation between Nejd and the Ghowr, or Ghór; (S, Mgh, TA;) or between Nejd and the Saráh; (Msb, K;) or between the Ghowr, or Ghór, and Syria (Mgh, Msb, TA) and the Bádiyeh; (Mgh, TA;) or between Nejd and Tihámeh; (K;) or because the Hirár [or certain stony tracts] separate it from the high part of Nejd; (Az, TA;) or because it is encompassed by the Hirár and the mountains, (Mgh, Msb, *) or by the five Hirár, namely, the Harrah of Benoo-Suleym and that of Wákim and that of Leylà and that of Showrán and that of En-Nár. (As, K.) ― -b2- Also sing. of HajazapN , (K,) which latter signifies Wrongers, or wrongdoers, who prevent one from obtaining his right: (S:) or persons who defend men, one from another, and decide between them justly. (Az, TA.) In the K, the signification of “wrongers, or wrongdoers,” is combined with the contrary explanation given by Az. (TA.) It is said in a trad. of Keyleh, A^ayoEujizu A@bonu h`*ihi A^ano yanotaSifa mino waraA='i AlHajazapi [ Is the son of this woman unable to obtain his right in the absence of the wrongdoers who prevent his doing so? ]: (S:) or [according to one relation] A^ayulaAmu A@bonu *iho A^ano yafSila AlxuT~apa mino waraA='i AlHajazap [ Is the son of this woman to be blamed for deciding the affair in the absence of those who defend men, one from another, and decide between them justly? ]: by “the son of this woman” she means her own son: she says, if he suffer a wrong, and allege for himself that which repels from him the wrong, [without having recourse to the judge,] he is not to be blamed. (TA.) [See also xuT~apN .]
