How it is used
خَرَجَ is the plain intransitive verb 'to go out' or 'come forth,' set directly against دَخَلَ, 'to enter.' It occurs in the Qur'an in the phrase يَوْمُ الخُرُوج, 'the Day of Going-Forth,' a name for the Day of Resurrection, when the dead are said to rise from their graves. Note that the transitive sense 'to expel, drive out' belongs to the related causative form أَخْرَجَ (akhraja), not to خَرَجَ itself, which never takes a direct object in this basic form.
Words from the same root
- خرّج to train or educate well (a pupil, a horse); also, to write a text while leaving parts of it blank
- المُخَارَجَةُ reciprocal dealing — playing a finger-guessing game, splitting travel or expedition costs equally, or contracting with a slave for fixed periodic payments
- أَخْرَجَ to make or cause to go out; to expel, drive out, eject; to bring forth, produce
- اِخْتَرَجَ to take out, or extract, for oneself

As long as it does not lead him to dismiss command and prohibition, reward and punishment, promise and warning.
يُخْرِجْهُ lead him
A causative verb — 'make him go out, drive him to' — with 'him' attached as its object. Its ending is clipped because 'lam' before it forces the jussive. The hidden subject is the earlier 'it', so the whole reads 'as long as it does not drive him to...'.
وَمِنْه قَوْله تَعَالَى ٥ الْكَهْف ﴿كَبرت كلمة تخرج من أَفْوَاههم﴾ الْآيَة
And from it His, the Exalted, saying: 'Grievous is the word that comes out of their mouths.'
تَخْرُجُ that comes out
Present 'comes out', subject 'it' inside, describing the word — 'a word that issues...'. With the noun indefinite the bare verb works as 'that comes out'.
وَمِنْه قَوْله تَعَالَى ٥ الْكَهْف ﴿كَبرت كلمة تخرج من أَفْوَاههم﴾ الْآيَة

تَخْرُجُ comes out

تُخْرِجُهُ deliver him
Present 'brings him out, rescues him', with 'him' attached as object. The causative form (make-exit); its subject 'the remainder' comes next.
فخرج عليهم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال ما الذي تخوضون فيه؟
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, came out to them and said: 'What are you discussing?'
فَخَرَجَ then came out
This is 'so' plus a past verb 'came out / went forth', subject 'he' inside. It pairs with the preposition next, since 'come out UPON someone' is how Arabic says to come out to people. Its subject follows.
فإذا خرجنا من عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عافسنا الأزواج والأولاد والضيعات نسينا كثيراً
But when we leave the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, we get involved with our wives, children, and livelihood and forget much.
خَرَجْنَا we leave
A past verb 'went out / left' with '-na' = 'we'. Inside the 'when' frame it reads as a present 'we leave'. The subject is sealed in the verb.
فإذا خرجنا من عندك عافسنا الأزواج والأولاد والضيعات نسينا كثيراً
But when we leave your presence, we get involved with our wives, children, and livelihood and forget much.

أو أرجعه إلى منزله الذي خرج منه بما نال من أجر،
or bringing him back to his home from which he departed with what he has gained of reward,
خَرَجَ he departed
A past-tense verb, 'he went out', with 'he' built in, inside the relative clause describing the home he had departed from. The doer is inside the form.
فخرج الجصاص مسرورًا، فلقي رجلاً فقال له من أين جئت بهذه الدراهم؟

فَخَرَجَ so he went out
The fa- pushes the story forward as 'and so'. The verb is past tense with 'he' built in, naming no separate subject because the form already carries it.
وَخَرَجَ أَبِيُ يَنْتَقِدُ ثَمَنَهُ،
And my father went out to haggle over its price.
وَخَرَجَ and went out
The leading 'wa-' (and) links this clause to the surrounding narrative, fused onto a past-tense verb whose 'he' subject is built in. The chunk both joins the events and reports the going-out. The doer, the narrator's father, is named just after in verb-first order.
أَبُو مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيُّ، أَنَّهُ تَوَضَّأَ فِي بَيْتِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ،

خَرَجَ he went out
A plain past 'he went out' with the doer 'he' built in - the same man continuing the narrative. The connector before it sets it as the next step.
فَسَأَلَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا خَرَجَ وَوَجَّهَ هَا هُنَا،

فَخَرَجَ حَتَّى أَتَى اَلْمَسْجِدَ
Then he went out until he reached the mosque.
فَخَرَجَ then he went out
The fa- glued to the front marks tight sequence: this going-out follows directly on what came before. The verb itself is past and already contains its 'he', so the prefix only signals 'and right then' rather than adding a new subject.
فَخَرَجَ بِهِ قَرِيبًا مِنْ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ
So he went out with him around midday.
فَخَرَجَ so he went out

خَرَجَ he went out
A past verb with 'he' inside, meaning to set out. It is the event of the time-clause that frames the recurring behaviour described next.

Abu Sufyan ibn Harb, Hakim ibn Hizam, and Budayl ibn Warqa went out.
خَرَجَ went out
A past-tense verb 'went out' in its singular shape, even though three named men follow. Arabic often keeps the verb singular when it comes before a listed-out subject, agreeing with the first one and leaving the rest to be added by the joining wa-; English instead forces a plural 'went'.
فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ سَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ
When he went out, I asked him, and he said.

One night I went out.
خَرَجْتُ I went out
A past-tense verb with the speaker fused onto its end as an 'I' subject, so the doer rides inside the word. It sets the scene of the story in the first person, the single form covering both the action and who performed it.
فَخَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْهِمْ
Then Abdullah went out to them.
فَخَرَجَ then went out
'Then' on a past verb of going out, carrying its 'he' subject inside it. The connector marks the next step in the action, advancing the narrative.

The first example: a man went out of his house to pray.
