Full Definition

مَزْجَرَةٌ [A cause of زَجْر, i. e. chiding, &c.: a noun of the same class as مَبْخَلَةٌ &c.; pl. مَزَاجِرُ]. A poet says, مَنْ كَانَ لَا يَزْعُمُ أَنِّى شَاعِرُ فَلْيَدْنُ مِنِّى تَنْهَهُ المَزَاجِرُ i. e. [He who will not assert that I am a poet, let him approach me:] preventing causes forbid him. And one says, ذِكْرُ ٱللّٰهِ مَزْجَرَةٌ لِلشَّيْطَانِ [The remembrance, or the mention, of God is a cause of driving away the devil].
