Forms in the Quran
رَجْمًۢا×1
Its root in the classical dictionaries
الرجام: الحجارة، والرجم: الرمي بالرجام.
قوله تعالى: ﴿فاستعذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم﴾ [النحل: 98] بمعنى المرجوم الملعون المطرود وقيل: هو بمعنى راجم لأنه يرجم غيره بالشر. وأصل الرجم: الرمي بالحجارة، وهي الرجام. ثم يستعار في الشتم والقتل أقبح قتلة؛ قال تعالى: ﴿لئن لم تنته لأرجمنك﴾ [مريم: 46] أي أقولن فيك قولا سيئا. وقيل: لأقتلنك شر قتلة أو لأخرجنك أو لأطرحن…
They said: "O Shu’aib!
Much of what thou sayest
We do not understand!
In fact among us we see
That thou hast no strength!
Were it not for thy family,
We should certainly
Have stoned thee!
For thou hast among us
No great position!"
(Some) say they were three,
The dog being the fourth
Among them; (others) say
They were five, the dog
Being the sixth,—doubtfully
Guessing at the unknown;
(Yet others) say they were
Seven, the dog being the eighth.
Say thou: "My Lord
Knoweth best their number;
It is but few that know
Their (real case)." Enter not,
Therefore, into controversies
Concerning them, except
On a matter that is clear,
Nor consult any of them
About (the affair of) the Sleepers.
The (people) said: "For us,
We augur an evil omen
From you: if ye desist not,
We will certainly stone you.
And a grievous punishment
Indeed will be inflicted
On you by us."
