Full Definition

رازمIII He remained, stayed, or dwelt, long in the house, or abode.
2 رازم بَيْنَهُمَا He conjoined them two; [as, for instance, two kinds of food, by taking them in immediate succession:] he mixed them. You say, رازمت الإِبِلُ The camels mixed two pastures. And رازمت الإِبِلُ العَامَ The camels pastured upon the حَمْض [or salt, or sour, plants] one time, and خُلَّة [or sweet plants] another time, this year. [In the case of a man,] مُرَازَمَةٌ in eating signifies the making a consecutive, or successive, connexion [between two things]; كَمَا يُرَازِمُ الرَّجُلُ بَيْنَ الجَرَادِ وَالتَّمْرِ [like as when the man makes a consecutive, or successive, connexion between the eating of locusts and that of dates; or makes locusts and dates consecutive, or successive]: or مُرَازَمَةٌ in relation to food signifies the making an interchange, by eating one day flesh-meat, and one day honey, and one day dates, and one day [drinking] milk, and one day [eating] bread without any seasoning or condiment, and the like; not keeping continually, or constantly, to one thing: or the intermixing the [acts of] eating with thanks, and the mouthfuls with praise; by saying, between the mouthfuls, Praise be to God: or the mentioning God between every two mouthfuls: or the eating the soft and the dry or tough [alternately], and the sweet and the sour, and the unseasoned, or disagreeable in taste, and the seasoned: agreeably with all of these interpretations is explained the saying of 'Omar, إِذَا أَكَلْتُمْ فَرَازمُوا: as though he said, [When ye eat,] eat what is easy and agreeable to swallow with what is unseasoned, or disagreeable in taste: or mix ye, in your eating, what is soft with what is rough, or harsh, or coarse: or make ye praise to follow [your eating].
3 مُرَازَمَةُ السُّوقِ means The purchasing in the market less than what will make up the full quantity of the loads.
