ازاهُ
1.
, (S, K,) verbal noun مُوءَازَاةٌ, (Msb in article حذو, and TA in article وزى, &c., [though it would seem from the K to be إِيزَاءٌ,]) He (a man, S) was, or became, over against it, or opposite to it; he faced, or fronted, him, or it. (S, * K, * TA in article وزى.) Accord. to the S, one should not say, وَازَاهُ: but it is said in a tradition respecting the prayer of fear, فَوَازَيْنَا العَدُوَّ, i. e. And we faced, or fronted, the enemy: (TA:) and the verbal noun is مُوَازَاةٌ. (TA in article وزى.) [Its synonym حَاذَاهُ is more common.]
2.
[Hence مُوءَازَأْق signifying A conformity, a mutual resemblance, or a correspondence, with regard to sound, of two words occurring near together; like اِزْدِوَاجٌ &c.: see article زوج.]
3.
[Hence, likewise,] ازِاهُ also signifies He contended with him, synonym جَارَاهُ; (K, TA;) and opposed, or withstood, him, synonym قَاوَمَهُ. (TA.) Whence the saying in a tradition, وَفِرْقَةٌ ازَتِ الْمُلُوكَ
فَقَاتَلَتْهُمْ عَلَى دِينِ اللّٰهِ [And a party contended with, and opposed, or withstood, the kings, and fought with them for the religion of God]. (TA.)
