Muhammad said: It is said: "Hasha lillahi" and "Hasha lillahi"—with a ya and without a ya. Its origin in the language is the concept of dissociation; meaning, Allah has dissociated him from that. The word "basharan" (a human) is in the accusative case (mansub) as the predicate of "ma" because "ma" in the dialect of the people of the Hijaz carries the meaning of "laysa" (is not) for negation.
قَالَ محمدٌ: يُقَالُ: حَاشَ لِلَّهِ، وَحَاشَى لِلَّهِ - بِيَاءٍ وَبِغَيْرِ يَاءٍ -، وَأَصْلُهُ فِي اللُّغَةِ: الْبَرَاءَةُ؛ أَيْ قَدْ بَرَّأَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، وَانْتَصَبَ (بَشَرًا) بِخَبَرِ (مَا) لأَنَّ (مَا) فِي لُغَةِ أَهْلِ الْحِجَازِ مَعْنَاهُ مَعْنَى (لَيْسَ) فِي النَّفْيِ.
