1 هَزَأَ مِنْهُ ذ , (K,) and بِهِ ; (S, K;) and هَزِئَ (S, K) followed by منه and به ; (Akh, S;) but accord. to Yoo, we should say هزئ به only; not منه ; (TA;) aor. هَزَاَ , inf. n. هُزْءٌ and هُزُؤٌ (S, K) and هُزُوْءٌ (TA) and مَهْزَأَةٌ ; (S, K;) and به , (AZ, S, K,) and به ; (S, K;) He mocked at, scoffed at, laughed at, derided, or ridiculed, him. (S, K.) -b2- The most approved reading of in the Kur, ii. 13, is with the ء fully pronounced: some alleviate it: and some read مُسْتَهْزِيُرنَ : and some مُسْتَهْزُونَ ; (but this pronunciation is of weak authority;) and say إِسْتَهْزَيْتُ for إِسْتَهْزَأْتُ . (Zj.) -b3- السَّرَابُ يَهْزَأُ بِالرَّكْبِ (tropical:) [ The mirage mocks the company of riders ]. (A.) -A2- هَزَأَ , (K,) inf. n. هَزْءٌ , (TA,) He, or it, broke a thing. (K.) -b2- A poet says, describing a coat of mail, لَهَا عُكَنْ تَرُدُّ النَّبْلَ خَنْسًا وَتَهْزَأُ بِالْمَعَابِلِ وَالقِطَاعِ [ It has creases that repel the arrows, making them to recede, and break the broad and long arrow-heads, and those which are small and broad ]. The ب in بالمعابل is redundant. This is the opinion of the lexicologists, except ISd, who thinks that this is an error, and that تهزأ here means “ mocks. ” (TA.) -A3- هَزَأَ إِبِلَهُ (K; but it is thought that this may be a mistake for هَرَأَ , TA,) inf. n. هَزْءٌ ; (TA;) and اهزأ ; (K;) He killed his camels with cold. IAar says, that اهزأهُ البَرْدُ and اهرأهُ both signify The cold killed him. (TA.) -A4- هَزَأَ He put in motion, [or excited, ) the beast on which he rode. (As, K.) -A5- هَزَأَ and هَزِئَ He died (K) in his place, or on the spot; i. e. unexpectedly, or suddenly: (Z:) improperly objected against by Ibn-Es-Sáïgh. ('Ináyeh, MF.)

4 اهزأ ذ He entered upon the time of severe cold. (K.) See also اهرأ , which is the word commonly known. (TA.) -b2- See 1. -A2- اهزأتْ بِهِ نَاقَتُهُ His she-camel hastened with him. (K.)

هُزْأَةٌ ذ One who is mocked at, scoffed at, laughed at, derided; a ridiculous person. (S, K.)
