(Msb.) ― -b2- See كَلَامٌ مُوجَبٌ -A3- مُوجِبٌ A name of the month المُحَرَّمُ (K) 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.] (K.) ― -b2- أَللّٰهُمَّ اـِنِّى أَسْأَلُكَ مُوجِبَاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ [O God, I ask of thee those things which will procure thy mercy!].
