1 رَجْمٌ ذ signifies The throwing, or casting, of stones: (S, K:) this is its primary meaning: (S, TA:) you say, رَجَمَهُ, aor. رَجُمَ , inf. n. رَجْمٌ, (S, Msb, TA,) He threw, or cast, stones at him; or pelted him with stones: (S, TA:) or he struck him, or smote him, with رَجَم, meaning stones: (Msb:) and رُجُومٌ is syn. with رَجْمٌ, as an inf. n.: thus some explain the saying, in the Kur [lxvii. 5], وَجْعَلْنَاهَا رُجُومًا لِلشَّيَاطِينِ [ And we have made them for casting at the devils; meaning shooting stars, which are believed to be hurled at the devils that listen by stealth, beneath the lowest heaven, to the words of the angels therein: but see other explanations below, voce رَجْمٌ].

(K, TA.) One says, رَجَمَ بِالغَيْبِ (assumed tropical:) He spoke of that which he did not know. (Ham p. 494.) And رَجَمَ بِالظَّنِّ (Z, TA) (assumed tropical:) He spoke conjecturally: (MA:) or he conjectured, or opined. (Bd in xviii. 21.) Hence, قَالَهُ رَجْمًا (assumed tropical:) He said it conjecturally. (Z, TA.) Hence also, (TA,) رَجْمًا بَالغَيْبِ, in the Kur [xviii. 21], (S, TA,) (assumed tropical:) [ Speaking conjecturally of that which is hidden, or unknown; as indicated in the S and TA: or] conjecturing in a case hidden from them. (Jel.) One says also, قَالَ رَجْمًا بِالغَيْبِ, i. e. (assumed tropical:) He said conjecturally, [or speaking of that which was hidden from him, or unknown by him, ] without evidence, and without proof. (Msb.) And صَارَ رَجْمًا لَا يُوقَفُ عَلَى حَقِيقَةِ أَمْرِهِ (assumed tropical:) [ It became a subject of conjecture, the real state of the case whereof one was not to be made to know ]. (S, TA.)

2 رجّم القَبْرَ ذ , inf. n. تَرْجِيمٌ, He placed upon the grave رُجَم [meaning large stones, to make a gibbous covering to it]. (TA.) It is related in a trad. of 'Abd-Allah Ibn-Mughaffal, that he said, لَا تُرَجِّمُوا قَبْرِى, i. e. Place not ye upon my grave رُجَم; meaning thereby that they should make his grave even with the ground, not gibbous and elevated: the verb is thus correctly, with tesh-deed: but the relaters of trads. say, ↓ لا تَرْجُمُوا قبرى: (S:) [and it is said that] القَبْرَ ↓ رَجَمَ, (K, TA,) aor. رَجُمَ , inf. n. رَجْمٌ, (TA,) signifies عَلَّمَهُ, (K,) i. e. He put a tombstone to the grave: (TK:) or he placed upon the grave رِجَام [a pl., like رُجَم, of رُجْمَة]: (K:) or, accord. to Aboo-Bekr, لَا قَبْرِى ↓ تَرْجُمُوا means Wail not ye at my grave; i. e. say not, at it, what is unseemly; from الرَّجْمُ signifying “ the act of reviling. ” (TA.)
