Meaning: bitter · Also translated as: salty
قال تعالى: هذا عذب فرات وهذا ملح أجاج
وأما الهمزة والجيم فلها أصلان: الحفيف، والشدة إما حرا وإما ملوحة. وبيان ذلك قولهم: أج الظليم: إذا عدا، أجيجا وأجا، وذلك إذا سمعت حفيفه في عدوه. والأجيج: أجيج الكير من حفيف النار. قال الشاعر يصف ناقة:
Verses 1–3 of 3
It is He Who has Let free the two bodies Of flowing water: One palatable and sweet, And the other salt And bitter; yet has He Made a barrier between them, A partition that is forbidden To be passed.
Surah Al-Furqan, verse 25:53Nor are the two bodies Of flowing water alike,— The one palatable, sweet, And pleasant to drink, And the other, salt And bitter. Yet from each (Kind of water) do ye Eat flesh fresh and tender, And ye extract ornaments To wear; and thou seest The ships therein that plough The waves, that ye may Seek (thus) of the Bounty Of God that ye May be grateful.
Surah Fatir, verse 35:12Were it Our Will, We could make it Salt (and unpalatable): Then why do ye not Give thanks?
Surah Al-Waqi'ah, verse 56:70
