زَاجِرٌ ذ [act. part. n. of 1]. ― -b2- [Hence,] كَفَى بِالقُرْآنِ زَاجِرًا (tropical:) [The Kur-án suffices as a chider, checker, restrainer, or forbidder]. (A, TA.) And الزَّاجِرُ (assumed tropical:) The exhorter, on the part of God, in the heart of the believer; i. e. the light shed into it, [or what we term the light of nature,] that invites him to the truth.
