muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُ·ـُيَفْعُلُmaṣdarرَجَلٌ رَكَبٌ رَجْلٌ

Core sense — he went on foot, having no beast to ride; it (hair) was wavygenerated

1.1he went on foot, having got down from his beast—ترجّل

maṣdar رَجَلٌ and رُجْلَةٌ, or the latter is a simple noun. He (a man) went on foot on a journey, by himself, having no beast to ride, and so went on his feet; or he kept going on foot — so says AZ, and Ks says the like; or he was, or became, strong to walk, or go on foot.

Used in the present day as meaning he got down from his beast.

they dismounted, in war or battle, to fight—ترجُلوا
he (a man) went on his legs, or feet, to get what he wanted—ارتجل
1.1.1he (a man) was, or became, large in the رِجْل [i. e. leg, or foot]—رَجِلَ

the is like رَكِبَ. Omitted in some copies.

1.1.2he had a complaint of his رِجْل [i. e. leg, or foot]—رُجِلَ

Omitted in other copies. El-Fárisee mentions the second verb in this sense, and it is also given on the authority of Kr.

It is like عُنِىَ and رَجِلَ, maṣdar of the first رِجْلَةٌ and of the second رِجْلٌ [so in the CK; but by the rule of the K they should be رَجْلَةٌ and رَجْلٌ, since neither is expressly said to have kesr; or the second may correctly be رِجْلٌ, as رَجِلَ is said to be like عَلِمَ, whose maṣdar is عِلْمٌ].

1.1.3he was, or became, affected in his leg, or foot, by something he disliked—رَجِلَ مِنْ رِجْلِهِ
1.1.4he (a beast, such as a horse) had a whiteness in one of his رِجْلَانِ [i. e. hind legs or feet], without a whiteness in any other part—رَجِلَ

.

1.2it was, or became, wavy, or somewhat curly—رَجِلَ

. Said of hair: of a quality between lankness and crispness or curliness, neither very crisp or curly nor very lank, but between the two.

1.3he, or it, hit, or hurt, his رِجْلِ [i. e. leg, or foot]—رَجَلَهُ

as in similar verbs. Omitted in some copies of the K.

1.3.1he suspended the sheep, or goat, by its hind leg or foot—رَجَلَ الشَّاةَ

Or, according to the O and the Mufradát, رَجَلَ الشَّاةَ بِرِجْلِهَا and ارتجلها.

Or the meaning is عَقَلَهَا بِرِجْلَيْهِ [apparently he confined its shank and arm together with his feet, pressing his feet upon its folded fore legs while it lay on the ground], or, as in the M, بِرجْلِهِ [with his foot].

1.3.2she (a woman) brought forth her child feet first, the legs coming out before the head—رَجَلَتْ وَلَدَهَا

in the copies of the M written رَجَّلَتْ with teshdeed.

1.4he sent the young one with her to suck her whenever it wanted—رَجَلَهَا

Said of the mother of a young camel..

Also أَرْجَلَهَا.

I left the young camel with his mother to suck her whenever he pleased—أَرْجَلْتُ الفَصِيلَ

In one of my copies of the S رَجَلْتُ, which appears from what follows to be a mistake.

So says ISk, and he cites as an example: [Fat, and well nourished: he was left with his mother to suck her when he pleased, until he was weaned]

shāhid
مُسَرْهَدٌ أُرْجِلَ حَتَّى فُطِمَا

See also رَجَلٌ below, where it is explained as though a quasi-maṣdar of أَرْجَلْتُ in the sense assigned to it here, or maṣdar of رَجَلْتُ in the same sense.

1.4.1he (a young camel, or a lamb, kid, or calf) sucked his mother—رَجَلَ أُمَّهُ

.

1.4.2the stallion-horse passed the night leaping the mares—بَاتَ الحِصَانُ يُرْجُلُ الخَيْلَ

رَجَلٌ also means the stallion's leaping the mare, as maṣdar of رَجَلَ.

الخيل is omitted in the O.

1.4.3he had intercourse with the woman—رَجَلَ المَرْأَةَ
1.5

[Golius says that رَجُلَ means he was a man and of manly spirit, giving this on the authority of J, and that رُجْلَةٌ is its maṣdar; but it seems that he found الرُّجْلَةُ incorrectly explained in a copy of the S as مَصْدَرُ رَجُلَ instead of مَصْدَرُ الرَّجُلِ. ISd says expressly that رُجْلَةٌ and its synonyms (explained below) are among those maṣdars that have no verbs.]

Core sense — the leg, from the root of the thigh to the foot; the foot; a swarm of locustsgenerated

1figurative · مجاز — inferredthe limb with which the man walks—رِجْلُ الإِنْسَانِ

The leg of a human being and of a bird, and the hind leg of a quadruped; in each of these senses the opposite of يَدٌ. The part from the root of the thigh to the sole of the foot of a man and of any animal.

Or the foot of a man, and of a bird, and the hind foot of a quadruped: it means this in many instances, though generally it is as explained above; and sometimes, by a synecdoche, it is used in a still wider sense, as explained below. Of the feminine gender. Plural أَرْجُلٌ; Sb knew no other plural, the plural of paucity being used here also as a plural of abundance.

the hind leg is a thing for which no retaliation or fine is taken—الرِّجْلُ جُبَارٌ

Literally: the hind leg, or here perhaps the leg or foot absolutely. If a beast in motion treads on a man with its رِجْل, there is no retaliation or fine; but if the beast is standing still in the road, the rider is responsible, whether it strikes with a يَد or a رِجْل.

El-Kumeyt says: [Your dominion among the people has bound with a bond not to be undone the man who desires transgression within its scope]

صَرَّ رِجْلَ الغُرَابِ مُلْكُكَ فِى النَّاسِ عَلَى مَنْ أَرَادَ فِيهِ الفُجُورَا

1.8figurative · مجاز — inferredthe lower curved extremity of the bow—رِجْلُ القَوْسِ

The upper curved extremity is called its يَد; or it is the part below its كَبِد. According to AHn, it is more complete, or perfect, than its يد.

According to IAar, when the string is braced, أَرْجُلُ القَوْسِ means the upper parts of the bow and أَيْدِيهَا its lower parts, the former being stronger than the latter; and he cites the saying: [Would that the bows were wholly of what are called أَرْجُل]

shāhid
لَيْتَ القِسىَّ كُلُّهَا مِنْ أَرْجُلِ

He says also that the two extremities of the bow are called its ظُفْرَانِ, its two notches its فُرْضَتَانِ, and its curved ends its سِئَتَانش; after the سئتان come the طَائِفَانِ, and after the طائفان the أَبْهَرَانِ; and the portion between the ابهران is its كَبِد, this being between the two knots of the suspensory.

Aboo-Bekr gave us the half of a roasted sheep, or goat, divided lengthwise, and I divided it into shares except its shoulder-blade—أَهْدَى لَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ رِجْلَ شَاةٍ مَشْوِيَّةٍ فَقَسَمْتُهَا إِلَّا كَتِفِهَا

Of the feminine gender.

Said in a tradition of 'Áïsheh. She called the half thus by a synecdoche; or she meant the leg with what was next to it — for مما يَلِيهَا in the O and TA I read بِمَا يَلِيهَا — of the lateral half; or she alluded thus to the whole of it, as one does with the term رَأْس.

In another tradition the رِجْل of a wild ass is mentioned as a gift, meaning one of the two lateral halves; or, as some say, the thigh. It is also explained as meaning the whole, but this is a mistake.

1.12figurative · مجاز — inferred

Also the half of a رَاوِيَة [or pair of leathern bags, such as a camel carries, one on each side], of wine, and of olive-oil.

1.13figurative · مجاز — inferred

Some apply it to a pair of trousers or drawers; رِجْلُ سَرَاوِيلَ occurs in this sense in a tradition, for رِجْلَا سَرَاوِيلَ, like زَوْجُ خُفٍّ and زَوْجُ نَعْلٍ, whereas each is properly زَوْجَانِ, since the سراويل are articles of clothing for the two legs. This is what is meant by the saying in the K and in the O that الرِّجْلُ also signifies السَّرَاوِيلُ [apparently for مِنَ السَّرَاوِيلِ الطَّاقُ].

1.14figurative · مجاز — inferred

Also a swarm, or numerous assemblage, of locusts; or a detached number of them.

One says رِجْلُ جَرَادٍ and رِجْلٌ مِنْ جَرَادٍ; it is masculine and feminine: a plural without a proper singular, like عَانَةٌ (a herd of wild asses), خِيطٌ (a flock of ostriches) and صُِوَارٌ (a herd of wild bulls or cows). Plural أَرْجَالٌ, and so in the next two senses.

1.15figurative · مجاز — inferred

And hence, by likeness to that: an army; or a numerous army.

no, the precedence belongs to me—لَا بَلِ الرِّجْلُ لِى

Also precedence. Abu-l-Mekárim: when the files of camels are collected together, an owner, or attendant, of camels says:

And they contend for it, each unwilling to yield it to the other. So says Abu-l-Mekárim. Plural أَرْجَالٌ, and so in the senses that follow.

1.19figurative · مجاز — inferred

And distress; straitness of the means of subsistence, or of the conveniences of life; a state of pressing want; misfortune, or calamity; and poverty.

Also a man who sleeps much; feminine with ة.

2.1

And a man such as is called قَاذُورَةٌ [which means foul in language; evil in disposition; one who does not care what he does or says; very jealous; one who does not associate as a friend with others, because of the evilness of his disposition, nor alight with them: see قذر].

Core sense — a young animal left with its mother to suck; a stallion sent among maresgenerated

See رَاجِلُ, first sentence.

2

And see also رَجِلٌ, in two places.

3a lamb, kid, or calf sent with its mother to suck her whenever it pleases—بَهْمَةٌ رَجَلٌ

It is also explained as follows, as though a quasi-maṣdar of form 4 in a sense given in the first paragraph on the authority of the S and O, or maṣdar of رَجَلَ in the same sense: the sending, or leaving, of a lamb, kid, calf, young camel, or colt with its mother, to suck her whenever it pleases. But I rather think this a loose explanation of the meaning implied by رَجَلٌ used as an adjective.

Also رَجِلٌ; or, as the K indicates, sucking, or that sucks, its mother. Plural أَرْجَالٌ.

3.1

Also a horse, that is, a stallion, sent upon the خَيْل [meaning mares, to leap them]. In like manner one says خَيْلٌ رَجَلٌ, apparently used as a plural meaning horses so sent, or خَيْلٌ رَجِلَةٌ; perhaps it should be رَجَلَةٌ.

Nounرَجُلٌ5 senses · 2 main

Core sense — a man, a male human being; a woman's husband; strong and perfectgenerated

1two witnesses of the people of your religion—شَهِيدَيْنِ مِنْ رِجَالِكُمْ

رَجْلٌ is a dialectal variant, or, according to Sb and El-Fárisee, an ism jamʿ [but apparently of رَاجِلٌ, not of رَجُلٌ]; Abu-l-Hasan calls it a plural.

A man, as meaning the male of the human species; the opposite of اِمْرَأَةٌ; applied only to one who has reached puberty and manhood, or from the time he is born and afterwards also.

Plural رِجَالٌ [applied in the Kur 72:6 to men and to jinn (or genies), like نَاسٌ and أُنَاسٌ, and likewise a plural of رَاجِلٌ and of its synonym رَجْلَانُ], and رجَالَاتٌ, said by some to be a plural of a plural, and رَجْلَةٌ (in the CK رِجْلَةٌ, which is a mistake, as what follows shows), of the measure فَعْلَةٌ with fet-h to the ف — though this is properly an ism jamʿ — said to be the only instance of its kind except كَمْأَةٌ, which, however, some say is an ism waḥda like others of the same form belonging to collective generic nouns, used as a plural of paucity instead of أَرْجَالٌ (Sb, Ibn-Es-Serráj), because they assigned to رَجُلٌ no plural of paucity, not saying أَرْجَالٌ [nor رِجْلَةٌ]; and رَجِلَةٌ, mentioned by AZ as another plural, though this too is an ism jamʿ, of which Abu-l-'Abbás holds رَجْلَةٌ to be a contraction; and رِجَلَةٌ and أَرَاجِلُ; and another ism jamʿ is مَرْجَلٌ.

رَجُلٌ also signifies a woman's husband.

a man and his wife—رَجُلَانِ
a woman—رَجُلَةٌ
she was like a man in judgment—كَانَتْ الرَّأْىِ

Predominance is thus given to the former.

Er-Rāghib: a woman who is, or affects to be, or makes herself, like a man in some of her qualities or states.

Said of 'Áïsheh in a tradition, with رَجُلَةَ, which confirms this last explanation. [See also مَرْجَلَانِيَّةٌ.]

The diminutive of رَجُلٌ is رُجَيْلٌ and رُوَيْجِلٌ, the first regular, the second irregular, as though it were the diminutive of رَاجِلٌ [but it seems that رُوَيْجِلٌ is properly the diminutive of رَاجِلٌ, though used as that of رَجُلٌ].

he is a man unequalled, or that has no second—هُوَ رَجُلُ وَحْدِهِ

So IAar, in the L under وحد.

a little man unequalled—رُجَيْلُ وَحْدِهِ

Probably meaning the opposite.

the little man prospers if he speaks truth—أَفْلَحَ الرُّوَيْجِلُ إِنْ صَدَقَ

Said in a tradition.

Lane cites “Kur lxxii. 6” — Flügel numbering, not yet mapped
1.1

Also one much given to sexual intercourse; used in this sense by the Arabs of El-Yemen; and some of the Arabs call such a one عُصْفُورِىٌّ.

1.2

And the same as رَاجِلٌ.

1.3I passed by a man whose father is strong and perfect—مَرَرْتُ بِرَجُلٍ رَجُلٍ أَبُوهُ

And perfect, or complete, in bodily vigour or the like (in the CK, والرّاجِلُ الكَامِلُ is wrongly put for والراَجل والكامل); or strong and perfect, or complete. It sometimes has this meaning, as an adjective.

When it is so used, Sb allows the genitive case here, though the nominative is more common.

He says also that when you say هُوَ الرَّجُلُ, you may mean that he is perfect or complete, or you may mean any man that speaks and walks on two legs.

2

In the CK, شَعَرٌ رَجُلٌ is wrongly put for شَعَرٌ رَجْلٌ; and in the same, رَجُلُ الشَّعَرِ as synonymous with رَجِلُ الشَّعَرِ is apparently a mistake for رَجْلُ الشَّعَرِ, though 'Iyád mentions it in this sense. See the paragraph that follows.

If We had made it an angel, We should have sent him as a man, and We should certainly have caused them confusion in a matter which they have already covered with confusion.

23:25
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌۢ بِهِۦ جِنَّةٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا۟ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

(And some said): "He is only a man possessed: wait (and have patience) with him for a time."

23:38
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا وَمَا نَحْنُ لَهُۥ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ

"He is only a man who invents a lie against Allah, but we are not the ones to believe in him!"

36:20
وَجَآءَ مِنْ أَقْصَا ٱلْمَدِينَةِ رَجُلٌ يَسْعَىٰ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱتَّبِعُوا۟ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

[ رَجُلٌ also signifies A woman's husband: and the dual] رَجُلَانِ [sometimes] means A man and his wife; predominance being thus attributed to the former. (IAar, TA.) And رَجُلَةٌ signifies A woman: (S, K:) or, accord. to Er-Rághib, a woman who is, or affects to be, or makes herself, like a man in some of her qualities, or states, or predicaments. (TA.) It is said of 'Áïsheh, (S, TA,) in a trad., which confirms this latter explanation, (TA,) كَانَتْ الرَّأْىِ , ↓ رَجُلَةَ , (S, TA,) meaning She was like a man in judgment. (TA. [See also مَرْجَلَانِيَّةٌ .]) The dim. of رَجُلٌ is رُجَيْلٌ and رُوَيْجِلٌ : (S, K:) the former reg.: (TA:) the latter irreg., as though it were dim. of رَاجِلٌ : (S, TA:) [but it seems that رُوَيْجِلٌ is properly the dim. of رَاجِلٌ , though used as that of رَجُلٌ .] One says, هُوَ رَجُلُ وَحْدِهِ [He is a man unequalled, or that has no second], (IAar, L in art. وحد ,) and رُجَيْلُ وَحْدِهِ [A little man (probably meaning the contrary) unequalled, &c.]. (S and L in that art.) And it is said in a trad., أَفْلَحَ الرُّوَيْجِلُ إِنْ صَدَقَ [The little man prospers if he speak truth] (TA.)

(M, TA.) [In the CK, شَعَرٌ رَجُلٌ is erroneously put for شَعَرٌ رَجْلٌ : and, in the same, رَجُلُ الشَّعَرِ , as syn. with رَجِلُ الشَّعَرِ , is app. a mistake for رَجْلُ الشَّعَرِ ; but it is mentioned in this sense by 'Iyád:] see the paragraph here following.

Core sense — going on foot; strength to walk; manhood, manlinessgenerated

1may God give you a beast to ride, and so relieve you from going on foot—حَمَلَكَ ٱللّٰهُ عَنِ الرُّجْلَةِ

The going on foot; the act of the man who has no beast to carry him; a maṣdar of رَجِلَ: see form 1, first sentence.

Or it means strength to walk, or go on foot, and is a simple noun; and also excellence of a دَابَّة [meaning a horse, ass, or mule] and of a camel in enduring long journeys. Az says he has heard no verb belonging to it in this sense except by implication in the adjectives رَجِيلَةٌ, applied to a she-camel, and رَجِيلٌ, applied to an ass and to a man.

رِجْلَةٌ, with kesr, means force, or strength, of walking or going on foot; and so does رَجْلَةٌ. In the K it is then added, “or with damm, strength to walk, or go on foot”; but evidently we should read “and with damm”, in agreement with the M, where the order of the two clauses is the reverse of that in the K.

One says also مِنَ الرُّجْلَةِ, that is, relieve you from the state of the man who has no beast.

he has strength to walk, or go on foot—هُوَ ذُو رُجْلَةٍ
1.1

And the state, or condition, of being a رَجُل [or man, or male human being; generally meaning manhood, manliness, or manfulness]; also رُجُولَةٌ and رُجُولِيَّةٌ and رَجُولِيَّةٌ and رُجْلِيَّةٌ, of the class of maṣdars that have no verbs belonging to them.

And, in a horse or beast, a whiteness, or the having a whiteness, in one of the رِجْلَانِ [i. e. hind legs or feet], without a whiteness in any other part; also تَرُجِيلٌ. This is disliked, unless there is in him some other similar وَضَح.

So says Er-Rāghib: the waters pour into it, and it holds them. On one occasion he says the رِجْلَة is like the قَرِيّ: it is wide, and people alight in it. He says also that it is a water-course of a plain, or soft, tract, such as is ملباث, or, as in one copy, مِنْبَات [which is apparently the right reading, meaning productive of much herbage].

الرِجْلَةُ also means a species of the plants called حَيْض.

It is said to be called الحمقآء because it grows only in a water-course — that is, the wild sort; see حمق. Hence the saying أَحْمَقُ مِنْ رِجْلَةٍ [explained under حمق], meaning this بَقْلَة.

See also رَجِيلٌ.

Plural رَجَّالَةٌ [or rather this is an ism jamʿ], written by MF رِجَالَةٌ on the authority of AHei, but the first is right; and رُجَّالٌ; and رَجْلٌ, mentioned above as said by Sb to be an ism jamʿ, like صَحْبٌ and رَكْبٌ, and occurring in the Kur 17:66 — all of رَاجِلٌ; and رِجَالٌ, of رَجْلَانُ and of رَاجِلٌ [but more commonly of رَجُلٌ]; and رَجْلَي, of رَجْلَانُ; and رَجَالَي, of رَجِلٌ or of رَجْلَانُ; and رُجَالَي; and رُجْلَانٌ, which is of رَاجِلٌ or of رَجِيلٌ; and رِجْلَةٌ [a plural of paucity], written by MF رَجَلَةٌ, and if so, of رَاجِلٌ, as كَتَبَةٌ is the plural of كَاتِبٌ; and رَجْلَةٌ [but this is an ism jamʿ, mentioned above as of رَجُلٌ]; and أَرْجِلَةٌ, which may be the plural of رِجَالٌ, which is the plural of رَاجِلٌ; and أَرَاجِلُ, which may be the plural of the plural أَرْجِلَةٌ; and أَرَاجِيلُ.

To the plurals mentioned in the K are to be added رِجَلَةٌ, which is of رَجُلٌ; and رُجَّلٌ, like سُكَّرٌ; and the ism jamʿ forms رُجَّالَي, called by MF an irregular plural, and رُجَالٌ, said by MF to be extraordinary, of the class of رُخَالٌ; and رَجِيلٌ, said to be an ism jamʿ like مَعِيزٌ and كَلِيبٌ.

Az says: I have heard some of them say رَجَّالٌ as meaning رَاجِلٌ; its plural is رَجَاجِيلُ.

رَاجِلَةٌ and رَجِلَةٌ are applied in the same sense to a woman, and so is رَجْلَي [feminine of رَجْلَانُ, like غَضْبَي, feminine of غَضْبَانُ]; and the plural of the first is رَوَاجِلُ and رِجَالٌ and رَجَالَي.

Qur’ān 17:64 the verse Lane’s citation points to, and it uses this root
وَٱسْتَفْزِزْ مَنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ مِنْهُم بِصَوْتِكَ وَأَجْلِبْ عَلَيْهِم بِخَيْلِكَ وَرَجِلِكَ وَشَارِكْهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَمْوَٰلِ وَٱلْأَوْلَـٰدِ وَعِدْهُمْ ۚ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا

"Lead to destruction those whom thou canst among them, with thy (seductive) voice; make assaults on them with thy cavalry and thy infantry; mutually share with them wealth and children; and make promises to them." But Satan promises them nothing but deceit.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

And a comb.

1.2

Also, and مَرْجَلٌ, this last on the authority of IAar alone: a sort of garment of the kind called بُرْد, of the fabric of El-Yemen. Plural as above, مَرَاجِلُ, with which مَرَاحِل, occurring in a tradition, is said in the T, under رحل, to be synonymous; and بُرْدٌ مِرْجَلِىٌّ means the same as مِرْجَلٌ.

It is said in a proverb: [Recently your بُرْد was of the sort called مِرْجَلِىّ]

shāhid
حَدِيثًا كَانَ بُرْدُكَ مِرْجَلِيَّا

— that is, you have only recently been clad with the مَرَاجِل and used to wear the عَبَآء; from which it appears that the مِرْجَل may be so called because worn only by full-grown men. So says IAar.

It is said in the M that ثَوْبٌ مِرْجَلِىٌّ is from الممرجل [i. e. المُمَرْجَلُ, perhaps a mistranscription for المَرْجَلُ]. But مُمَرْجَلٌ means a sort of garments, or cloths, variegated, or figured, similar to the مَرَاجِل, or similar to these in their variegation or decoration, or their figured forms, as Seer and others explain it. Sb therefore holds the م of مَرَاجِلُ to be an essential part of the word, and hence Seer and the generality of authors also say that it is a radical, though Abu-l-'Alà and some others hold it to be augmentative.
