TA.) مُفْرَجٌ, occurring in the saying, in a
trad., لَا يُتْرَكُ فِى الإسْلَامِ مُفْرَجٌ, [meaning that he who is thus termed shall not be left unbefriended among the Muslims,] is variously explained:
As used to say that it is with ح; and disapproved of the saying مفرج, with ج:
A'Obeyd says, I heard Mohammad Ibn-El-Hasan say, it is related with ح and with ج; and he who says مفرج, with ج, means A slain person found in a desert tract, not by a town or village, [which signification is mentioned in the
K,] the fine for whose blood is to be paid from the government-treasury:
AO says that it means one who becomes a Muslim and has no alliance of friendship with any one [among the Muslims]; wherefore, if he commits a crime, [such as maiming another, &c.,] the governmenttreasury must make amends for it, because he has no relations or others bound to aid him by paying a bloodwit [or the like]: (
S, O: and the like is also said in the

K:) or,
accord. to
Jábir El-Joafee, it means a man who is among a people to whom he does not belong; wherefore they are bound to pay for him a bloodwit [or the like]: (
O,
TA:) or it means one who has no kinsfolk, or near relations: so
accord. to
IAar: (
Mgh,
TA:) or one who has no offspring: or one who has no wealth, or property: and it is also said to mean one burdened by the obligation to pay a bloodwit, or a ransom, or a debt that must be discharged: and [in like manner] ↓ مَفْرُوجٌ is said to mean one who is burdened with a debt: but it is correctly with ح [unpointed]; (
TA;) [i. e.] such is termed مُفْرَحْ, with ح: (
As,
Mgh:) and مُفْرَجٌ means one burdened by his family, although he be not in debt. (
Az,
TA voce مُفْرَحٌ [
q. v.].) مُفْرِجٌ One whose shooting, or casting, has become altered [for the worse], having been good. (

K.)
A2: And thus, without ة, A hen having chickens. (
S,
