Root: رجف

Full Definition

المُرْجِفَانِ The basin and ewer (الطَّسْتُ وَالإِبْرِيقُ) [that are used for washing the hands before and after a meal]: because they produce a sound when one of them is knocked against the other: as though that sound told of the completion of the meal, and excited [the persons that had partaken thereof] to rise.
2 وَالمُرْجِفُونَ فِى المَدِينَةِ, in the Kur xxxiii. 60: see 4, in two places. [This art. is wanting in the copies of the L and TA to which I have had access.]
