(Mughnee voce أَلَا.) It is said in the Kur [lxxxix. 19], accord. to the reading of the people of El-Medeeneh, وَلَا يَحُضُّونَ عَلَى طَعَامِ المِسْكينِ; and accord. to that of El-Hasan, تَحُضُّونَ; [Nor do they, or ye, excite one another to feed the poor, or destitute]: (TA:) or nor do they, or ye, command to feed the poor, &c.: (Fr, TA:) and there are other readings thereof: see 3 and 6. (TA.) The grammarians apply to the particles هَلَّا and أَلَّا and لَوْلَا and لَوْمَا the term حُرُوفُ

↓ التَّحْضِيضِ [Particles of exciting]; and say that when they are followed by a future, they denote exciting to an action, and seeking or desiring or demanding the performance of it; and when followed by a preterite, reproof for not doing a thing.

In the Kur ubi suprà, among the various readings are these two: وَلَا يُحَاضُّونَ and ولا تُحَاضُّونَ, meaning, accord. to Fr, Nor are they, or ye, mindful. (TA.) 6 تحاضّوا They excited, &c., one another. (S, K.) In the Kur ubi suprà, some read وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ (Fr, S, TA) Nor do ye excite one another. (Fr.) حُضٌّ, said to be a subst.: see 1.

Put thou it upon the ground;] adding, for I am only a servant; I eat as the servant eateth. (S.) حِضِّيضَى and حُضِّيضَى, said to be substs.: see 1.
