1.
A thing desired, or wished for; (K;) as also رَغْبَةٌ: (Ham p. 501:) a thing of high account or estimation; that is desired, or wished for: plural رَغَايءِبُ. (A, Mgh.) You say, إِنَّهُ لَوَهُوبٌ, لِكُلِّ رَغِيبَةٍ, i. e. [Verily he is a liberal giver] of everything that is desired. (TA.) [And رَغْبَى has a similar meaning; for] you say also, أَصَبْتُ مِنْهُ الرَّغْبَى, i. e. I obtained from him abundance of what I desired. (TA.)
2.
A large gift: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) plural as above. (S, Mgh, Msb.) A poet (En-Nemir Ibn-Towlab, TA) says,
وَمَتَى تُصِبْكَ خَصَاصَةٌ فَارْجُ الغِنَى
وَإِلَى الَّذِى يُعْطِى الرَّغَايءِبَ فَارْغَبِ
[And when poverty befalls thee, then hope thou for competence, and to Him who gives large gifts humble thyself, and make petition]. (S, * TA.)
3.
And A large recompense that one desires to obtain [in the world to come] by prayer: (El-Kilábee, TA:) or that which is wished for by one who has large hope and who desires much: whence the prayer called صَلَاةُ الرَّغَايءِبِ [generally said to be a supererogatory prayer]. (TA.)
