▪ Jeffery1938: »The Sura [74] is an early one, and in this passage [74:1ff] the Prophet is urged to magnify his Lord, purify his garments, and flee from the wrath to come – wa’l-ruǧza fa-’hǧur. | It is usual to translate the word as ‘abomination’ or ‘idolatry’ and make it but another form of riǧz, which occurs in ii:56, vii:131, etc. (cf. LA, vii, 219; Rāġib, Mufradāt, 186, and the Commentaries). | There was some feeling of difficulty about the word, however, for Zam[aḫšarī] thought the reading was wrong and wanted to read riǧz, instead of ruǧz, and al-Suyūṭī, Itq, 311, would explain it as the form of riǧz in the dialect of Huḏayl. | It seems probable, however, as Bell, Origin, 88, and Ahrens, Muhammed, 22, have suggested, that the word is the Syr rūgzā ‘wrath’, used of the ‘wrath to come’, e.g. in Matt, iii, 7.1 . (Fischer, Glossar, 43, says Aram rūgzâ.)«

raǧaz رَجَز

√RǦZ 
n.
 
name of a poetical meter – WehrCowan1976
 
▪ »The proper meaning of the word is ‘tremor, spasm, convulsion (as may occur in the behind of a camel when it wants to rise)’. It is not clear how this word became a technical term in prosody. The other etymological meaning of raǧaz ‘thunder, rumble, making a noise’, may perhaps be taken into consideration. In that case, there might be an allusion to the iambic, monotonous and pounding rhythm of these poems (cf. ka-mā samiʕta raǧaza ’l-ṣawāʕiq, ʔAbū Nuwās, ed. E. Wagner, ii: 299; for the etymology, see also T. Fahd, La divination arabe, Leiden 1966: 153-8)« – M. Ullmann / W. Heinrich, art. »Radjaz«, in EI².
