وَجَبَ, inf. n. وَجْبَةٌ, It fell to the ground. (TA.)

وَجْبَةٌ does not signify a single act; but is an inf. n. in an absolute sense, unrestricted to the signification of a single act: ex. وَجْبَةُ الشَّمْسِ The falling of the sun, in setting. (TA.)

فَإِذَا وَجَبَتْ جُنُوبُهَا [Ḳur. xxii. 37,] is said to signify And when their sides fall down upon the ground: or and when their souls depart, and they fall down. (TA.)

[And I said to him, Let not thine eye weep; for by my own hands is occasioned what I experience, now that my death has come to pass]. By موجب he means مَوْتٌ. (TA.)

[See also وَجْبَةٌ, which seems to be a third inf. n. of the verb in this sense.]

(TA.)

For a fuller explanation, see its syn. حَقَّ. [In the science of the fundamentals of religion, It necessarily was or existed; was a thing of which the nonexistence could not be mentally conceived: as is the essence of God. (Ibr. D.)]

[وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ كَذَا, or أَنْ يَفَعَلَ كَذَا, Such a thing, or the doing of such a thing, was binding, incumbent, or obligatory upon him; was unavoidable to him; lay on him; was his necessary, or indispensable duty: or was binding, incumbent, or obligatory upon him, by God's express appointment, so that he would be punished for neglecting it: and it was that which should be preferred and approved.

(Freytag, Arab. Prov. i. 156)].

وَجْبَةٌ A falling with a sound, or noise, such as that produced by the fall of a wall or the like: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) [see 1, where it is given as an inf. n. unrestricted to the signification of a single act:] or the sound of a thing falling (Ḳ) and producing a sound such as above mentioned. (TA.)

وَجَبَهٌ An eating but once in the course of a day and night: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) or an eating but once in a day until the like eating in the following day: (Ḳ:) an inf. n. (Lḥ) [restricted to the signification of a single act]: you say, فُلَانٌ يَأْكُلُ وَجْبَةً Such a one eats but once (T) in the course of the day and night. (AZ, Ṣ.) [See also صَيْرَمٌ.]

In a trad. respecting the expiation of an oath, it is said, يُطْعِمُ عَشَرَةَ مَسَاكِينَ وَجْبَةً وَاحِدَةً [He shall feed ten poor men with a meal sufficient for a day and a night]. (TA.)

When a person has finished doing this, one says to him قَدِ ٱسْتَوْفَيْتَ وَجِيبَتَكَ [Thou hast taken the whole of what was due to thee of the thing purchased and taken by thee in the manner above described].

Accord. to [the Imám] Aboo-Ḥaneefeh, وَاجِبٌ [in matters of religion] is not so strong a term as فَرْضٌ: [and so may be rendered incumbent, or obligatory; or that which is a necessary, or indispensable, duty; yet not so decisively or manifestly shown to be such as that which is termed فرض:] or, accord. to Esh-Sháfiʼee, these two terms are syn., signifying [binding, incumbent, or obligatory, by God's express appointment, as] a thing for neglecting which one will be punished: and واجب signifies that which should be preferred and approved; thus explained by El-Khattábee as occurring in the following trad.: غُسْلُ الجُمْعَةِ وَاجِبٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُحْتَلِمٍ The ablution prescribed to be performed on Friday is an act which every one who has experienced a nocturnal pollution should prefer and approve. (TA.)

فِعْلٌ وَاجِبٌ [A verb expressing an event as a positive fact] is such, for instance, as in the phrase بَيْنَمَا أَنَا كَذَا إِذْ جَآءَ زَيْدٌ [while I was thus, or in this state, lo, or behold, Zeyd came]. (Ṣ, L, art. اذ.)

مُوجَبٌ An effect; that which is produced by an operating cause; a result; a consequence. (Mṣb.)

[كَلَامٌ مُوجَبٌ, lit. An affirmed sentence; i. q. مُثْبَتٌ as contr. of مَنْفِىٌّ; virtually the same as كَلَامٌ مُوجِبٌ↓, an affirmative sentence.]

[مَوْجِبٌ A place where one falls down and dies; where one dies].

خَرَجَ القَوْمُ إِلَى مَوَاجِبِهِمْ, i. e. الى مَصَارِعِهِمْ; The people went forth to the places where they should be prostrated; [or, as implied in the Ṣ, where they should full down and die; or where they should die]. (Ṣ.)

مُوجِبٌ [andمُوجِبَةٌ↓] A cause; an efficient; that which produces, or effects, anything. (Mṣb.)

See كَلَامٌ مُوجَبٌ

مُوجِبٌ A name of the month المُحَرَّمُ (Ḳ) in ancient times. (TA.)

مُوجِبَةٌ A great sin for which one deserves punishment [in the world to come]: (TA:) or a great sin, and also an act of great goodness, which makes [the punishment of] hell, or [the reward of] paradise, the consequence thereof [unless followed by repentance, &c.] (Ḳ.)

أَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّى أَسْأَلُكَ مُوجِبَاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ [O God, I ask of thee those things which will procure thy mercy!]. (TA, from a trad.)
