Full Definition
جَرَسٌ
[A bell;] a thing well known; the thing that is hung to the neck of the camel &c., and that makes a sound: or, accord. to some, the [little round bell called] جُلْجُل: and also that which is struck [to make it sound]: the thing that is struck by the Christians at the times of prayers: pl. أجْرَاسٌ. It is said in a trad., لَا تَصْحَبُ المَلَائِكَةُ
رُفْقَةً فِيهَا جَرَسٌ [The angels will not accompany an assemblage of persons journeying together among whom is a bell]: the reason is said to be, because it guides others to them; for Mo- hammad liked not to let the enemy know of his approach until he came upon them suddenly.
