1 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.) ― -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 إِِذَا 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: (TA:) and so one says of a horse; (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. (Lh, K, * TA.) [See also 8.] ― -b4- (tropical:) The act of cursing. (K, TA.) ― -b5- (assumed tropical:) The act of reviling. (K, 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. (Msb.) [See also رَجَبَهُ.] ― -b6- (assumed tropical:) The act of driving away; expelling; putting, or placing, at a distance, away, or far away.

(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:) [Speaking conjecturally of that which is hidden, or unknown; as indicated in the S and TA: or] conjecturing in a case hidden from them. (Jel.) One says also, قَالَ رَجْمًا بِالغَيْبِ, i. e. (assumed tropical:) He said conjecturally, [or speaking of that which was hidden from him, or unknown by him,] without evidence, and without proof. (Msb.) And صَارَ رَجْمًا لَا يُوقَفُ عَلَى حَقِيقَةِ أَمْرِهِ (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.

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: (S:) [and it is said that] القَبْرَ ↓ رَجَمَ , (K, TA,) aor. رَجُمَ , inf. n. رَجْمٌ, (TA,) signifies عَلَّمَهُ, (K,) i. e. He put a tombstone to the grave: (TK:) or he placed upon the grave رِجَام [a pl., like رُجَم, of رُجْمَة]: (K:) or, 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. ” (TA.) 3 مُرَاجَمَةٌ  [in its primary acceptation] is The mutual throwing, or casting, of stones; or the vying, or contending for superiority, in the throwing, or casting, of stones.

(TA.)

6 تراجموا بَالحِجَارَةِ  They threw, or cast, stones, one at another; or vied, or contended for superiority, in throwing, or casting, stones, one at another: (S, TA:) and ↓ ارتجموا signifies the like of this.

Q. 1 تَرْجَمَ كَلَامَهُ  He interpreted, or explained in another language, his speech. (S.) See art. ترجم. رَجْمٌ  , an inf. n. [of 1, q. v.], used as an appellative, (Bd in lxvii. 5,) A thing that is thrown, or cast, like as is a stone: pl. رُجُومٌ. (Bd ib., and K.) Hence, in the Kur (ubi suprà), وَجَعَلْنَاهَا رُجُومًا لِلشَّيَاطِينِ And we have made them things to be cast at the devils; meaning shooting stars: [see also رُجُمْ:] or, as some say, we have made them to be [means of] conjectures to the devils of mankind; i. e., to the astrologers.
