خَشِىَ
1.
, aorist يَخْشَى, verbal noun خَشْيَةٌ (JK, S, M, Msb, K) and خَشْىٌ (JK, M, K) and خِشْىٌ (Sgh, K) [the second and third erroneously written in the CK خَشًا and (by indication) خِشًا] and خَشَاةٌ (M, K) and خَشْيَانٌ, (JK, M, K,) though it has been said that the only instances of this kind are شَنْانٌ and لَيَّانٌ, [see the former of these two,] but in one copy of the M found written خِشْيَانٌ, (TA,) and مَخْشَاةٌ (JK, M, K) and مَخْشِيَةٌ, (M, K,) He feared; synonym خَافَ: (JK, S, M, Msb, K:) or, according to Er-Rághib and others, he dreaded; or feared with reverence, veneration, respect, honour, or awe. (TA.) You say, خَشِيَهُ
He feared him, or it; [or he dreaded him, or it; i. e. feared him, or it, with reverence, &c.;] as also
تخشّاهُ. (K.) [And خَشِىَ مِنْهُ, meaning the same: or He feared, or dreaded, what might happen to him from him, or it. And خَشِىَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْيءًا
He feared, or dreaded, for him a thing.] And فَعَلْتُ ذٰلِكَ خَشَاةَ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَذَا [I did that in fear, or dread, that such a thing might happen]. (IAar, TA.)

خَشَيْتُهُ also signifies Hope. (Er-Rághib, TA.) And the saying of Ibn-'Abbás to 'Omar, لَقَدْ أَكْثَرْتَ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ
بِالمَوْتِ حَتَّى خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذٰلِكَ أَسْهَلَ لَكَ عِنْدَ
نُزُولِهِ, is explained as meaning [Verily thou hast prayed much for death, so that] I hope [that it may be easier to thee when it happens]. (TA.)
3.
And sometimes خَشِيتُ means عَلِمْتُ [I knew, or know]. (Msb.) So it is said to mean in the saying of the poet.
[And I know assuredly that he who follows the right direction shall dwell in the gardens of Paradise with the Prophet Mohammad]: (S, TA:) or the meaning may be, I hope. (TA.)وَلَقَدْ خَشِيتُ بِأَ مَنْ تَبِعَ الهُدَىسكَنَ الجِنَانَ مَعَ النَّبِىِّ مُحَمَّدِ

In the saying in the Qur'an, 18:79, فَخَشِينَا
أَنْ يُرْهِقَهُمَا طُغْيَانًا وَكُفْرًا, the meaning is said, by Akh, to be And we disapproved [that he should make excessive disobedience, and ingratitude, to come upon them twain]; (S;) and so says Zj, explaining it as the saying of El-Khidr: or, according to Fr, the meaning is, and we knew. (TA. [See also أَزْهَقَ.])
