Its root in the classical dictionaries
خزي الرجل: لحقه انكسار، إما من نفسه، وإما من غيره. فالذي يلحقه من نفسه هو الحياء المفرط، ومصدره الخزاية ورجل خزيان، وامرأة خزيى وجمعه خزايا. وفي الحديث:
"Our Lord! Grant us
What Thou didst promise
Unto us through Thine Apostles,
And save us from shame
On the Day of Judgment:
For Thou never breakest
Thy promise."
And his people came
Rushing towards him,
And they had been long
In the habit of practising
Abominations. He said:
"O my people! Here are
My daughters: they are purer
For you (if ye marry)!
Now fear God, and cover me not
With shame about my guests!
Is there not among you
A single right-minded man?"
"And O my people!
Do whatever ye can:
I will do (my part):
Soon will ye know
Who it is on whom
Descends the Penalty
Of ignominy, and who
Is a liar!
And watch ye!
For I too am watching
With you!"
Then, on the Day of Judgment,
He will cover them
With shame, and say:
"Where are My "partners"
Concerning whom ye used
To dispute (with the godly)?"
Those endued with knowledge
Will say: "This Day, indeed,
Are the Unbelievers covered
With Shame and Misery,—
Whether ye cut down
(O ye Muslims!)
The tender palm-trees,
Or ye left them standing
On their roots, it was
By leave of God, and
In order that He might
Cover with shame
The rebellious transgressors.
O ye who believe!
Turn to God
With sincere repentance:
In the hope that
Your Lord will remove
From you your ills
And admit you to Gardens
Beneath which Rivers flow,—
The Day that God
Will not permit
To be humiliated
The Prophet and those
Who believe with him.
Their Light will run
Forward before them
And by their right hands,
While they say, "Our Lord!
Perfect our Light for us,
And grant us Forgiveness:
For Thou hast power
Over all things."
