Uncleanness, dirt, or filth: or an unclean, a dirty, or a filthy, thing: syn. قَذَرٌ: (S, A, Msb, K, TA: [in the CK, القَدَرُ is put by mistake for القَذَرٌ:]) or شَىْءٌ قَذِرٌ: anything that is disliked, or hated, for its uncleanness, dirtiness, or filthiness: stink, or foul odour: accord. to Az, filth that comes forth from the body of a man: En-Nakkásh says that it is syn. with
نِجْسٌ; and it is said in the Bári' that sometimes they say الرَّجَاسَةُ وَالنَّجَاسَةُ, meaning that they make these two words syn.: it is also written
رَجِسٌ and
رَجَسٌ : you say رِجْسٌ نِجْسٌ, and رَجِسٌ نَجِسٌ; and IDrd says, I think that they also said رَجَسٌ نَجَسٌ: Pr says that when رجس is followed by نجس, the ج is with kesr; but when نجس is mentioned without رجس, the ج and ن are with fet-h. You say also شَىْءٌ رِجْسٌ [An unclean, a dirty, or a filthy, thing]. And
مَرَّبِنَا جَمَاعَةٌ نَجِسُونَ, meaning, A company of unbelievers passed by us. As used in the Kur vi. 125, Mujáhid explains الرِّجْس as meaning That in which is no good.
2 Any action that is disliked, or hated, for its uncleanness, dirtiness, or filthiness: a sin, or crime: so in the Kur v. 92, and vi. 146: an action that leads to punishment: as رَجْسٌ signifies “ vehemence of sound, ” [see 1,] رِجْسٌ seems to mean an action the mention whereof is evil, and highly evil: sometimes it signifies a thing that is unlawful, or forbidden: and unbelief: infidelity: and doubt: so in the Kur xxxiii. 33.
