تفرّغ

He was, or became, or he made himself to be, vacant from, devoid of, or free from, business, occupation, or employment; unoccupied, unemployed, or at leisure; synonym تَخَلَّى مِنَ الشُّغْلِ. (O, K.) [See also فَرَغَ مِنَ الشُّغْلِ.] Hence the tradition of the Prophet, تَفَرَّغُوا مِنْ هُمُومِ الدُّنْيَا مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ [Be ye, or make yourselves to be, vacant, or free, from the anxieties of the present state of existence as much as ye are able]. (O.)

And تَفَرَّغْتُ لِكَذَا [I was, or became, or I made myself to be, vacant, or free, from business, occupation, or employment; or unoccupied, unemployed, or at leisure; for such a thing: and I applied myself exclusively to such a thing]: (S: [these meanings are there indicated, but not expressed; and are well known:]) one says, تفرّغ لِلْعِبَادَةِ [He applied himself exclusively to religious service]: (Msb in article بتل:) and تَفَرَّغْتُ لِلْأَمْرِ means [also, simply,] تَصَدَّيْتُ لَهُ [i. e. I addressed, or applied, or directed, myself, or my regard, or attention, or mind, to the affair]. (Msb in article صد.) [See also فَرَغَ لَهُ and إِلَيْهِ.]

And تفرّغ بِهِ signifies تَخَلَّى بِهِ [meaning He confined himself exclusively to it; or contented himself with it exclusively of other things]. (K and TA in article خلو.)
