زَاجِرٌ

Full Definition

زَاجِرٌ [act. part. n. of 1].
2 [Hence,] كَفَى بِالقُرْآنِ زَاجِرًا [The Kur-án suffices as a chider, checker, restrainer, or forbidder]. And الزَّاجِرُ The exhorter, on the part of God, in the heart of the believer; i. e. the light shed into it, [or what we term the light of nature,] that invites him to the truth.
3 الزَّاجِرَاتُ, in the Kur xxxvii. 2, means The angels who are the drivers of the clouds.
4 زَاجِرٌ also signifies A diviner; because, when he sees that which he thinks to be of evil omen, he cries out with a high, or loud, and vehement, voice, forbidding to undertake the thing in question.
5 أَبُو زَاجِرٍ The crow; because one augurs by means of it.
