(S, L, K [in the CK شَجَنٌ, but expressly said in the S to be بِالتَّسْكِينِ]) A road of a valley; (S, L;) or a road in a valley: or in the upper, or uppermost, part thereof: as also ↓ شَاجِنَةٌ: (K:) pl. of the former شُجُونٌ: (S, L, K:) and of ↓ شَوَاجِنُ: (K:) or ↓ شَاجِنَةٌ signifies a valley in which are many trees; (S, L;) or a place in which are شُجُون, which means tangled trees; (Ham pp. 761-2;) and شَوَاجِنُ is its pl.: (S, L, and Ham p. 762:) or ↓ شَاجِنَةٌ signifies a sort of valley producing good herbage: or, as some say, شَوَاجِنُ signifies the upper, or uppermost, parts of a valley; and its sing. is ↓ شَجَنٌ [thus written in the L in this instance], as ISd mentions on the authority of A'Obeyd, but adding that, as such, it is irregular, and that it is more properly to be regarded as pl. of ↓ شَاجِنَةٌ. (L.) [Hence,] one says, الحَدِيثُ ذُو شُجُونٍ, (S, Meyd, L, K,) شُجُون being pl. of شَجْنٌ, with the ج quiescent; (Meyd;) a prov., (Meyd, L,) meaning (assumed tropical:) The story is involved, or intricate; (S, Meyd, L;) or has several ways [in which it may be understood]; (Meyd;) or has several modes, or manners; and objects of aim: (L, K:) applied to a story by which one calls to mind another: (A'Obeyd, Meyd, L:) the first who said it was Dabbeh Ibn-Udd Ibn-Tábikhah: he had two sons, named Saad and So'eyd: and some camels belonging to him ran away by night, so he sent his two sons to seek them; and they separated; and Saad found them and restored them; but So'eyd went on seeking them; and El-Hárith Ibn-Kaab met him; and there were upon the young man two [garments such as are called] burds (بُرْدَانِ), which El-Hárith asked him to give to him, but he refused to comply with his desire; whereupon he slew him, and took his two burds: and Dabbeh, when he saw a dark object in the night, used to say, أَسَعْدٌ أَمْ سُعَيْدٌ [“ Is it Saad or So'eyd? ” (see سَعْدٌ)]; and this saying of his became current as a prov.: some time after this, having gone on pilgrimage, he met El- Hárith Ibn-Kaab at 'Okádh, and saw upon him the two burds of his son So'eyd, and asked him respecting them; and he answered that he had met a young man wearing them, and slain him, and taken them: Dabbeh said, “ With this thy sword? ” and he answered, “ Yes: ” and he said, “ Give it me that I may look at it, for I think it to be sharp: ” and El-Hárith gave it him: and he took it, and shook it, and said, إِنَّ الحَدِيثَ ذُو شُجُونٍ; and slew him with it: whereupon it was said to him, “ O Dabbeh, in the sacred month? ” and he said, سَبَقَ السَّيْفُ العَذْلَ [“ The sword preceded the censure ”): these three provs. he originated. (Meyd.)

↓ شَاجِنَتِى is a saying of the Arabs like their saying عَابِلَتِى عَبُولُ [i. e., app., My withholder is death, or shall be death alone; for شَجَنَتْهُ شَجُونُ may be rendered Death withheld him, like as عَبَلَتْهُ عَبُولُ is rendered “ death separated him ”]. (L.)

See شَجَنٌ.

Also, i. e. with kesr, (K,) or ↓ شَجَنٌ and ↓ شَجَنَةٌ, (L,) A branchlet of a bunch of a grape-vine of which all the grapes come to maturity. (L, K.) شِجْنَةٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) Relationship closely, or intimately, connected. (L.) One says, بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُ شِجْنَةُ رَحِمٍ, and رَحِمٍ ↓ شُجْنَةُ, (assumed tropical:) Between me and him is a relationship closely, or intimately, connected. (S.) And it is said in a trad., الرَّحِمُ شِجْنَةٌ مِنَ اللّٰهِ i. e. (tropical:) الرَّحِمُ is derived from الرَّحْمٰن: (S, L: [see رَحِمٌ:]) or, accord. to AO, (L,) the meaning is, [الرَّحِم is] relationship, from God, closely, or intimately, connected, like the roots of trees. (S, L.) Also A crack, or cleft, in a mountain. (Lh, L, K.)
