And in the Kur [lxxii. 22], قُلْ إِنِّى لَنْ يُجِيرَنِى مِنَ ٱللّٰهِ أَحَدٌ Verily none will protect me against God.
2 اجار المَتَاعَ He put the household-goods, or commodities, into the repository, and so preserved them from being lost.
3 It is said [of God] in a trad., يُجِيرُ بَيْنَ البُحُورِ He makes a division between the seas, and prevents one from mixing with another and encroaching upon it.
