def.2 A wild bull going forth from land to land, or from country to country.
2 Hence, النَّاشِطَاتُ, as used in the Kur, lxxix. 2, meaning The stars [or planets] going forth from one sign of the zodiac to another: or it means the stars that rise, then set: or the angels that draw forth the souls like as the bucket is drawn forth from the well: or the angels that loose the soul of the believer gently: or the believing souls that are brisk, lively, sprightly, or active, at death: or, as some say, [too fancifully,] the angels that ratify events; from نَشَطَ العُقْدَةَ, q. v.; and as this signifies the tying of a knot which is easily undone, the thing's easiness to them is thus notified.
