رجم

S,
K:) this is its primary meaning: (
S,
TA:) you say, رَجَمَهُ,
aor. ـُ
inf. n. رَجْمٌ, (
S,
Msb,
TA,) He threw, or cast, stones at him; or pelted him with stones: (
S,
TA:) or he struck him, or smote him, with رَجَم, meaning stones: (
Msb:) and رُجُومٌ is
syn. with رَجْمٌ, as an
inf. n.: thus some explain the saying, in the
Kur [lxvii. 5], وَجْعَلْنَاهَا رُجُومًا لِلشَّيَاطِينِ [And we have made them for casting at the devils; meaning shooting stars, which are believed to be hurled at the devils that listen by stealth, beneath the lowest heaven, to the words of the angels therein: but see other explanations below,
voce رَجْمٌ]. (
TA.)
b2: Hence, (
S,
TA,) The act of slaying [in any manner, but generally stoning, i. e. putting to death by stoning]. (
S,
K.) So in رَجْمُ الثَّيِّبَيْنِ إِذَا زَنَيَا [The slaying, or stoning, of the two married persons when they have committed adultery]. (
TA.)
b3: [(assumed
tropical:) The act of beating, or battering, the ground with the feet.] One says of a camel, يَرْجُمُ الأَرْضَ (assumed
tropical:) [He beats, or batters, the ground], i. e., with his feet; which implies commendation: (

K;) or يُرْجُمُ فِى الأَرْضِ. (
S.) and one says also, جَآءَ يَرْجُمُ, meaning (assumed
tropical:) [He came beating, or battering, the ground; or] passing along with an ardent and a rapid running. (

K, *
TA.) [See also 8.]

TA.) لَأَرْجُمَنَّكَ, in the
Kur xix. 47, means (assumed
tropical:) I will assuredly revile thee: (
Bd,
Jel,
TA: see also another explanation below, in this paragraph:) or I will assuredly cast stones at thee, (
Bd,
Jel,) so that thou shalt die, or shalt remove far from me. (
Bd.) And you say, رَجَمْتُهُ بِالقَوْلِ, meaning (assumed
tropical:) I uttered foul, or evil, speech against him. (

TA;) or speaking conjecturally: (
S,
TA:) and (
K,
TA) some say (
TA)
i. q. غَيْبٌ [as meaning (assumed
tropical:) a doubting]: (
K,
TA: [in the
CK, العَيْبُ is erroneously put for الغَيْبُ:] and ظَنٌّ [which means (assumed
tropical:) an opining, or a conjecturing]. (
K,
TA.) One says, رَجَمَ بِالغَيْبِ (assumed
tropical:) He spoke of that which he did not know. (
Ham p. 494.) And رَجَمَ بِالظَّنِّ (
Z,
TA) (assumed
tropical:) He spoke conjecturally: (
MA:) or he conjectured, or opined. (
Bd in xviii. 21.) Hence, قَالَهُ رَجْمًا (assumed
tropical:) He said it conjecturally. (
Z,
TA.) Hence also, (
TA,) رَجْمًا بَالغَيْبِ, in the
Kur [xviii. 21], (
S,
TA,) (assumed

tropical:) [It became a subject of conjecture, the real state of the case whereof one was not to be made to know]. (
S,
TA.) And لَأَرْجُمَنَّكَ, in the
Kur [xix. 47, of which two explanations have been mentioned above], means [
accord. to some] I will assuredly say of thee, [though] speaking of that which is hidden [from me], or unknown [by me], what thou dislikest, or hatest. (
TA.)

q. v.,] means A tongue that is chaste, or perspicuous, and copious, in speech. (
Msb in art. ترجم.)
b10: See also the next paragraph, in three places.
2 رجّم القَبْرَ,
inf. n. تَرْجِيمٌ, He placed upon the grave رُجَم [meaning large stones, to make a gibbous covering to it]. (
TA.) It is related in a
trad. of 'Abd-Allah Ibn-Mughaffal, that he said, لَا تُرَجِّمُوا قَبْرِى, i. e. Place not ye upon my grave رُجَم; meaning thereby that they should make his grave even with the ground, not gibbous and elevated: the verb is thus correctly, with tesh-deed: but the relaters of trads. say, ↓ لا تَرْجُمُوا قبرى: (

TA,) signifies عَلَّمَهُ, (
K,) i. e. He put a tombstone to the grave: (

accord. to Aboo-Bekr, لَا قَبْرِى ↓ تَرْجُمُوا means Wail not ye at my grave; i. e. say not, at it, what is unseemly; from الرَّجْمُ signifying “ the act of reviling. ” (
