رَجْمٌ signifies The
throwing, or
casting, of
stones: (S, K:) this is its primary meaning:
(S, TA:) you say,
رَجَمَهُ, aor.
رَجُمَ , 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.) ―
2-b2- Hence,
(S, TA,) The act of
slaying [

The slaying,
or
stoning, of the two married persons when they
have committed adultery]. (TA.) ―

batters, the ground], i. e., with his feet; which
implies commendation: (TA:) and so one says

يُرْجُمُ فِى الأَرْضِ. (S.) And
one says also,
جَآءَ يَرْجُمُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) [
He came

passing

another explanation below, in this paragraph:)
or
I will assuredly cast stones at thee, (Bd, Jel,)

and
conjecturing]; (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,

He
said conjecturally, [or
speaking of that which
was hidden from him, or

without evidence, and without proof. (Msb.) And

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

by me],
what
thou dislikest, or
hatest. (TA.) ―
