muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُ·ـُيَفْعُلُmaṣdarرَغْبَةٌ رَغَبٌ رُغْبٌ

Core sense — he desired it, he coveted it; he made petition to him; it was widegenerated

1.1the [soul's] hoping largely, and desiring much—رَغَبُ النَّفْسِ

maṣdar رَغْبَةٌ and رَغْبَى [and apparently رَغَبٌ and the like, mentioned below].

He desired a thing — apparently in an absolute sense, and also strongly, eagerly, greedily, with avidity, excessively, or blameably; he coveted a thing, longed for it, or lusted after it.

1.1.1he desired it, he wished for it—رَغِبَ فِيهِ

maṣdar رَغْبَةٌ, رَغَبٌ, رَغْبٌ, رُغْبٌ, رُغْبَى, رَغْبَى, and رَغْبَآءُ.

he desired it, he wished for it—رَغِبَهُ

he desired it, he wished for it—ارتغب فيه

[I have no desire, or wish, for it]—مَا لِى فِيهِ رَغْبَةٌ

Also رُغْبَى and رَغْبَآءُ, in the same sense.

fear of you is better than love of you—رُهْبَاكَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ رُغْبَاكَ

رهباك here is a maṣdar prefixed to its object, and likewise رغباك.

It is also said to mean: being given something through fear of you is better than through desire for you. A proverb, like رَهَبُوتٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ رَحَمُوتٍ. Freytag explains it differently.

1.1.2he did not desire it, or wish for it—رَغِبَ عَنْهُ

He shunned or avoided it, abstained from it, or deliberately left it, gave it up, or forsook it.

1.1.3he made petition to him, asked him, sought of him, or demanded of him—رَغِبَ إِلَيْهِ

Maṣdar رَغَبٌ, رَغْبٌ, رُغْبٌ, رُغْبَى, رَغْبَى, رَغْبَآءُ, رَغْبَةٌ, رُغْبَةٌ, رَغَبَةٌ, رَغَبُوتٌ, رَغَبُوتَى, and رَغَبَانٌ.

he made petition to such a one for such a thing—رَغِبَ إِلَى فُلَانٍ فِى كَذَا

to God I humble myself and make petition—إِلَى ٱللّٰهِ أَرْغَبُ

Or: he prayed to him, or supplicated him, with humility, or with sincerity and earnestness; or he humbled himself and made petition to him.

Synonymous with أَضْرَعُ and إِلَيْهش أَرْفَعُ رَغْبَتِى [to Him I raise my humble petition].

[Fear should be of God, not of a creature; and petition and the like should be to Him]—الرُّهْبَى مِنَ ٱللّٰهِ وَالرُّغْبَى إِلَيْهِ

So Lth, under the article رهب.

See also another example in a verse cited under رَغِيبَةٌ.

1.1.4he held himself above, or superior to, him, or it—رَغِبَ بِنَفْسِهِ عَنْهُ

[Literally, he made himself not desirous of, or made himself shun, abstain from, or leave, him, or it; the ب having the same effect as in ذَهَبَ بِهِ and the like.]

I made such a one shun, abstain from, or leave this, disliking it for him—رَغِبْتُ بِفُلَانٍ عَنْ هٰذَا

1.2figurative · مجاز — inferredit (anything) was, or became, wide, or ample—رَغُبَ

Maṣdar رُغْبٌ and رُغُبٌ.

Or: strongly, excessively, or blameably desirous of worldly goods, and one who made himself abundant in them; or, as some say, large in his hopes and desiring much.

According to the T, رُغْبُ البَطْنِ means voracity; and رُغْبٌ by itself, as it occurs in a tradition, is explained as capaciousness of the belly together with voracity.

he was, or became, liberal, or bountiful, and large in opinion or judgement—رَغُبَ رَأْيُهُ

2:130

وَمَن يَرْغَبُ عَن مِّلَّةِ إِبْرَٰهِـۧمَ إِلَّا مَن سَفِهَ نَفْسَهُۥ ۚ وَلَقَدِ ٱصْطَفَيْنَـٰهُ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase their souls with folly? Him We chose and rendered pure in this world: And he will be in the Hereafter in the ranks of the Righteous.

4:127

وَيَسْتَفْتُونَكَ فِى ٱلنِّسَآءِ ۖ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِيهِنَّ وَمَا يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ فِى يَتَـٰمَى ٱلنِّسَآءِ ٱلَّـٰتِى لَا تُؤْتُونَهُنَّ مَا كُتِبَ لَهُنَّ وَتَرْغَبُونَ أَن تَنكِحُوهُنَّ وَٱلْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ ٱلْوِلْدَٰنِ وَأَن تَقُومُوا۟ لِلْيَتَـٰمَىٰ بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۚ وَمَا تَفْعَلُوا۟ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِهِۦ عَلِيمًا

They ask thy instruction concerning the women say: Allah doth instruct you about them: And (remember) what hath been rehearsed unto you in the Book, concerning the orphans of women to whom ye give not the portions prescribed, and yet whom ye desire to marry, as also concerning the children who are weak and oppressed: that ye stand firm for justice to orphans. There is not a good deed which ye do, but Allah is well-acquainted therewith.

9:120

مَا كَانَ لِأَهْلِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَعْرَابِ أَن يَتَخَلَّفُوا۟ عَن رَّسُولِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَرْغَبُوا۟ بِأَنفُسِهِمْ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ لَا يُصِيبُهُمْ ظَمَأٌ وَلَا نَصَبٌ وَلَا مَخْمَصَةٌ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَطَـُٔونَ مَوْطِئًا يَغِيظُ ٱلْكُفَّارَ وَلَا يَنَالُونَ مِنْ عَدُوٍّ نَّيْلًا إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُم بِهِۦ عَمَلٌ صَـٰلِحٌ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

It was not fitting for the people of Medina and the Bedouin Arabs of the neighbourhood, to refuse to follow Allah's Messenger, nor to prefer their own lives to his: because nothing could they suffer or do, but was reckoned to their credit as a deed of righteousness,- whether they suffered thirst, or fatigue, or hunger, in the cause of Allah, or trod paths to raise the ire of the Unbelievers, or received any injury whatever from an enemy: for Allah suffereth not the reward to be lost of those who do good;-

94:8

وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب

Nounمَرَاغِبُ1 sense

Core sense — things eagerly desired; things sought for one's subsistencegenerated

Literally, causes of desire; the singular, if used, is مَرْغَبَةٌ, a word of the same class as مَبْخَلَةٌ and مَجْبَنَةٌ and the like.

Hence: things that are eagerly desired, or coveted; synonymous with أَطْمَاعٌ, which also means soldiers' stipends, or allowances.

And things that are desired to be gained for subsistence, or sustenance; the same as مضطربات لِلْمَعَاشِ.

In the CK, the first of the two nouns in this explanation is مُضْطَرِبات; in two manuscript copies of the K it is written without the vowel signs. The right reading is clearly مُضْطَرَبَات, synonymous with مُكْتَسَبَات.

Freytag renders the explanation as: persons who are troubled and anxious about the means of living, taking this meaning from the rendering in the TK. Golius comes nearer to the truth, rendering it: things necessary for sustaining life; but he gives this explanation on the authority of J, who does not mention it, and he has put مَرَاغِبٌ for مَرَاغِبُ.
