Full Definition

مُرَاغَمَةٌIII signifies The breaking off from, or quitting, another in anger: and the cutting off another from friendly, or loving, communion; cutting one, or ceasing to speak to him; or forsaking, abandoning, deserting, or shunning or avoiding, one: and the becoming alienated, or estranged; or the going, removing, retiring, or withdrawing, to a distance, far away, or far off, one from another: [or] راغمهُ signifies He left, forsook, abandoned, or relinquished, him, or separated himself from him, against his [the latter's] wish: or he broke off from him, or quitted him, in anger: and أَهْلَهُ He cut off his family from loving communion, or forsook them, or deserted them, against their wish. It is said in a trad., لِيُرَاغِمُ رَبَّهُ إِنْ أَدْخَلَ أَبَوَيْهِ النَّارَ, i. e. He will assuredly break off in anger from his Lord [if he cause his two parents to enter the fire of Hell]. And you say, رَاغَمَ فُلَانٌ قَوْمَهُ Such a one retired apart from his people, or party; or disagreed with them; or opposed them; and went forth from them; and cut them off from friendly, or loving, communion; or forsook them; and treated them, or regarded them, with enmity, or hostility.
2 And فُلَانٌ لَا يُرَاغِمُ شَيْئًا Such a one does not want, need, or require, and is not unable to attain, anything.
