(Msb, art. هود.) مَجُوسُ was a certain man with small ears, who instituted a religion (K) for the مَجُوس, (TA,) and invited [them] to it : (K:) so says Az: he was not Zarádusht [or Zoroaster] the Persian, as some say, because he [Zarádusht] was after Abraham, whereas the religion of the مجوس is [more] ancient; but Zarádusht revived it, and published it, and added to it: (MF:) the name is arabicized, from مَنْجَ كُوش, or ميج كوش, or مِيخَ كُوش, (as differently written in different copies of the K, the first being the reading in the TA, and the last being that in the CK), the latter of which words signifies “ the ear,” [in Persian, but written with ك,] and the former meaning “ short. ” (TA.) المَجُوسِيَّةُ The religion of the مَجُوس [or Magians]. (S, K.) Mohammad said that the قَدَرِيَّة were the مَجُوس of his people, because the latter believed in two principles, light and darkness, and ascribed good to light and evil to darkness, and in like manner the قدريّة ascribed good to God, and evil to man and the devil.
