1.
Uncleanness, dirt, or filth: or an unclean, a dirty, or a filthy, thing: synonym قَذَرٌ: (S, A, Msb, K, TA: [in the CK, القَدَرُ is put by mistake for القَذَرٌ:]) or شَىْءٌ قَذِرٌ: (TA:) anything that is disliked, or hated, for its uncleanness, dirtiness, or filthiness: stink, or foul odour: according to Az, filth that comes forth from the body of a man: En-Nakkásh says that it is synonym with
نِجْسٌ; and it is said in the Bári' that sometimes they say الرَّجَاسَةُ وَالنَّجَاسَةُ, meaning that they make these two words synonym: (Msb:) it is also written
رَجِسٌ and
رَجَسٌ: (A, K:) you say رِجْسٌ نِجْسٌ, and رَجِسٌ نَجِسٌ; and IDrd says, I think that they also said رَجَسٌ نَجَسٌ: Pr says that when رجس is followed by نجس, the ج is with kesr; but when نجس is mentioned without رجس, the ج and ن are with fet-h. (TA.) You say also شَىْءٌ رِجْسٌ [An unclean, a dirty, or a filthy, thing]. (A.) And
مَرَّبِنَا جَمَاعَةٌ رَجِسُونَ
نَجِسُونَ, meaning, A company of unbelievers passed by us. (IAar and TA.) As used in the Qur'an, 6:125, Mujáhid explains الرِّجْس as meaning That in which is no good. (TA.)
