رَجِيمٌ

Root: رجم

Full Definition

رَجِيمٌ and مَرْجُومٌ Thrown at, or cast at, with stones. The former is said to be applied to the devil because he is cast at (مرجوم) with [shooting] stars. [In the MA, رَجُومٌ , as well as رَجِيمٌ, is explained as signifying Stoned: but it is probably a mistranscription for مَرْجُومٌ.]
2 Slain [in any manner, but generally meaning put to death by being stoned]. لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ المَرْجُومِينَ, in the Kur [xxvi. 116], is explained as meaning Thou shalt assuredly be of those slain in the most evil manner of slaughter: or the meaning is, of those smitten with stones: or, reviled.
3 Also the former, Cursed, or accursed; and in this sense, i. e. مَرْجُومٌ بِاللَّعْنَةِ, applied to the devil.
4 And Reviled; [and so مَرْجُومٌ , as shown above;] and in this sense, also, said to be applied to the devil: and so in the two senses here following.
5 Driven away; expelled; put, or placed, at a distance, away, or far away.
6 And Cut off from friendly or loving communion or intercourse; forsaken; or abandoned.
