حَاقِنٌ

A man keeping in, or retaining, and collecting, his urine; from حَقِينٌ meaning “ milk collected in a skin: ” (IF, Msb:) [suffering from retention of the urine:] having urine that distresses [by its quantity]: (S, TA:) having much urine retained and collected: (Mgh:) and ↓ حَقِنٌ signifies the same. (TA.) Hence the saying, (Mgh, TA,) in a tradition, (TA,) لَا رَأْىَ لِحَاقِنٍ وَلَا حَاقِبٍ وَلَا حَازِقٍ (S, * Mgh, TA *) No counsel, or advice, is possible to one who has much urine retained and collected, nor to one suffering suppression of the feces, nor to one who is pinched by a tight boot. (Mgh, TA. *)

[Collecting grease, or melted grease, in a skin.] You say, أَنَا مِنْهُ كَحَاقِنِ الإِهَالَةِ (assumed tropical:) I am a person skilled in it; because such a one does not collect the اهالة in a skin until he knows that it has cooled, lest the skin should be burnt. (K.)

(assumed tropical:) A moon a little after or before the change (هِلَال) having its two extremities elevated, and its back decumbent. (K.) Hence the saying, هِلَالٌ وَاقِفٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ هِلَالٍ حَاقِنٍ (tropical:) [A هلال erect (here meaning nearly erect) is better, or more auspicious, than a هلال decumbent]. (A, TA.) [See also أَذْفَقُ.]
