حصلGathering of a thing — a regular, analogical sense per Ibn Fāris. (root hsl)

Ḥaṣala yaḥṣulu ḥuṣūlan (حصل يحصل حصولا): meaning it remained and became fixed, while everything else — of a reckoning, a deed, or the like — went away; so it is ḥāṣil (حاصل). Al-taḥṣīl (التحصيل) is distinguishing what results (yaḥṣulu). The noun is al-ḥaṣīlah (الحصيلة). Labīd said: "And every man one day will know his effort, when the results (al-ḥaṣāʾil, الحصائل) are gathered before God." It is also transmitted as: "when [they] are uncovered before God." Ḥawṣalat al-ṭāʾir (حوصلة الطائر), the crop of a bird, is well known. Al-ḥawṣalah (الحوصلة) is also a bird larger than a waterbird, long-necked, a sea-bird whose skins are white and worn [as garments]; its plural is ḥawāṣil (حواصل). Al-ḥawṣal (الحوصل) is a ewe whose belly above the navel has grown large. One says iḥwanṣala al-ṭāʾir (احونصل الطير): the bird bent its neck and put out its crop (ḥawṣalatuh, حوصلته).

Ḥaṣṣaltu al-shayʾ taḥṣīlan (حصلت الشيء تحصيلا). Ḥāṣil al-shayʾ (حاصل الشيء) and maḥṣūluh (محصوله) are its remainder. Al-ḥaṣāʾil (الحصائل) are the remainders, singular ḥaṣīlah (حصيلة). Al-muḥaṣṣilah (المحصلة) is the woman who extracts ore-earth. A poet said: "Ah, would that there were a man — God reward him well — who could guide a muḥaṣṣilah (محصلة) who spends the night [at it]" i.e., she spends the night doing such-and-such; the verse contains an implied element (muḍammin). It is also transmitted as 'alā rajulan' (ألا رجلا), meaning 'bring me a man,' and as 'alā rajul' (ألا رجل), meaning 'is there not a man?' Taḥṣīl al-kalām (تحصيل الكلام) is reducing speech to its net result (maḥṣūl). Al-ḥaṣīl (الحصيل) is a plant. One says ḥaṣila al-faras ḥaṣlan (حصل الفرس حصلا) when the horse's belly aches from eating the earth of the plant. Al-ḥaṣl (الحصل) is also unripe dates before they harden and their calyxes appear, singular ḥaṣalah (حصلة). The poet said: "From among them the sadā (السدى) and the ḥaṣl (الحصل) are gnawed away." One says aḥṣala al-nakhl (أحصل النخل). Al-ḥaṣālah (الحصالة), with ḍamma, is what remains on the threshing floor after the grain is removed — it is the sweepings (kunāsah). Al-ḥawṣalah (الحوصلة) is the singular of ḥawāṣil al-ṭayr (حواصل الطير), birds' crops. One says ḥawṣala (حوصل), meaning he filled his crop. It is said: 'ḥawṣilī wa-ṭīrī' (حوصلى وطيرى) [fill your crop and fly].

Ḥāʾ, ṣād, and lām form a single analogical root (aṣl), meaning the gathering of a thing. For this reason the crop of a bird is called ḥawṣalah (حوصلة), because [food] is gathered in it. One says ḥaṣṣaltu al-shayʾ taḥṣīlan (حصلت الشيء تحصيلا) [I extracted/produced the thing]. Some philologists have claimed that the origin of taḥṣīl (التحصيل) is the extraction of gold or silver from rock or from ore-bearing earth, and the one who does this is called al-muḥaṣṣil (المحصل). A poet said: "Ah, would that there were a man — God reward him well — who could guide a muḥaṣṣilah (محصلة) who spends the night [at her labor]..." If this is so, then it is the analogy (qiyās), and the whole chapter is built upon it. Al-ḥaṣl (الحصل) is unripe dates before they harden and their calyxes appear; the singular is ḥaṣalah (حصلة). A poet said: "From among them the sadā (السدى) and the ḥaṣl (الحصل) are gnawed away..." al-sadā (السدى) is withered unripe dates, singular sadāh (سداة). This too belongs to the root — namely al-ḥaṣl (الحصل) — because it has resulted (ḥaṣala) from the palm tree. Among what deviates from the root, and whose derivation I do not know, is their saying ḥaṣila al-faras (حصل الفرس), 'the horse's belly ached,' from eating earth.

Al-taḥṣīl (التحصيل) is extracting the kernel from the husks, like extracting gold from ore-rock, or wheat from chaff. God Most High said: "wa-ḥuṣṣila mā fī al-ṣudūr" (وحصل ما في الصدور) — "and what is in the breasts is brought forth" [Sūrat al-ʿĀdiyāt, 100:10] — meaning: what is within them is made manifest and gathered, like making manifest and gathering the kernel from the husk, or like making manifest the net result (al-ḥāṣil) of a reckoning. The residue is also called al-ḥaṣīl (الحصيل). Ḥaṣila al-faras (حصل الفرس) means the horse's belly ached from its eating [earth]. Ḥawṣalat al-ṭayr (حوصلة الطير) is that in which the bird's nourishment is gathered.

Al-ḥāṣil (الحاصل) of anything is what remains and is established while everything else goes away; this applies to reckoning, deeds, and the like. Ḥaṣala al-shayʾ yaḥṣulu ḥuṣūlan (حصل الشيء يحصل حصولا). Al-taḥṣīl (التحصيل) is distinguishing what results; the noun is al-ḥaṣīlah (الحصيلة). Labīd said: "And every man one day will know his effort, when the results (al-ḥaṣāʾil, الحصائل) are gathered before God." Al-ḥaṣāʾil (الحصائل) are the remainders, singular ḥaṣīlah (حصيلة). One says ḥaṣṣaltu al-shayʾ taḥṣīlan (حصلت الشيء تحصيلا). Ḥāṣil al-shayʾ (حاصل الشيء) and maḥṣūluh (محصوله) are its remainder. Al-Farrāʾ said, concerning His words "wa-ḥuṣṣila mā fī al-ṣudūr" (وحصل ما في الصدور), that it means 'made clear'; others said 'distinguished'; some said 'gathered.' Taḥaṣṣala al-shayʾ (تحصل الشيء) means the thing became gathered and fixed. Al-maḥṣūl (المحصول) is [the same as] al-ḥāṣil (الحاصل); it is one of the verbal nouns that come in the pattern mafʿūl, like al-maʿqūl (المعقول), al-maysūr (الميسور), and al-maʿsūr (المعسور). Taḥṣīl al-kalām (تحصيل الكلام) means reducing speech to its net result. Among the ailments of horses are al-ḥaṣl (الحصل) and al-qaṣl (القصل): al-ḥaṣl is when a horse ingests earth along with herbage so that earth collects in its belly and kills it; if al-ḥaṣl kills it, it is said 'innahu la-ḥaṣil' (إنه لحصل). Ibn Sīdah said: ḥaṣilat al-dābbah ḥaṣlan (حصلت الدابة حصلا) means the animal ate earth which remained fixed inside it; if it lodges in the rumen (karish) it does not harm it, but if it lodges in the reticulum (qibbah) it kills it. Al-Jawharī said: al-ḥaṣīl (الحصيل) is a plant. One says ḥaṣila al-faras ḥaṣlan (حصل الفرس حصلا) when the horse's belly aches from eating the earth of the plant. It is also said: al-ḥaṣl is when pebbles lodge in the 'pebble-catcher' (lāqiṭat al-ḥaṣā), the folds of the camel's paunch (qaṭinah), so they do not come out with the cud when chewed, and this may sometimes kill it if [the mass] presses upon its member (jurdān). Al-Azharī said: al-ḥaṣl in young camels is when they eat earth and do not bring up the cud, which sometimes kills them. Ḥaṣala al-nakhl (حصل النخل) means its unripe dates became round. Ibn Sīdah said: al-ḥaṣl (الحصل) is what scatters from the fruit-cluster of the palm tree while green and tender, like small slender beads. Al-ḥaṣl is unripe dates before they harden and their calyxes appear, singular ḥaṣalah (حصلة); [a poet] said: "...muzzled its towering [palm], and the jaʿl (الجعل) gnaws from among them the sadā (السدى) and the ḥaṣl (الحصل)." The sukūn [on al-ḥaṣl] is for poetic necessity. It is also said [al-ḥaṣl] is the spadix (al-ṭalʿ) when it turns yellow. One says aḥṣala al-nakhl (أحصل النخل). It is also said that al-taḥṣīl is the rounding of unripe dates; one says aḥṣala al-balaḥ (أحصل البلح) when it emerges small from its calyxes. Aḥṣala al-qawm (أحصل القوم) — they are muḥṣilūn (محصلون) — when their palm trees have produced ḥaṣl, that is, when the unripe dates (busr) become visible and round out. Al-ḥaṣl of food is what comes out of it and is discarded, such as dunqah (دنقة) and zuʾān (زؤان, darnel) and the like. Abū Ḥanīfah said: al-ḥaṣl and al-ḥaṣālah are what remains of barley and wheat on the threshing floor when it is cleaned and its inferior part set aside. Al-Liḥyānī said: al-ḥaṣālah is what comes out of it and is discarded, when it is somewhat coarser than dust and fine chaff. Ibn al-Aʿrābī said: in food there is its murayrāʾ (مريراؤه), its ḥaṣl (حصله), its ghufā (غفاه), its fughā (فغاه), its ḥuthālah (حثالته), and its ḥufālah (حفالته) — all synonymous. Al-Jawharī said: al-ḥaṣālah (الحصالة), with ḍamma, is what remains... [entry continues]
