Definition Al-muwjb

Al-muwjb according to Dustur al-'Ulama (Al-Ahmadnagari)

The active participle of obligation is the opposite of the one with free choice, who if he wills does and if he does not will does not do. Thus, he is the one from whom an act must emanate without intention or will, such as radiation from the sun and burning by fire. The passive participle of it is the effect of the agent acting out of necessity. The difference between the agent out of necessity and the requirement-maker is that the requirement-maker is prior while the agent out of necessity is posterior, as understood from the Talwih when it says: The difference between them is that the requirement-maker is prior in the sense that the thing is good then the command relates to it, necessarily because the command relates only to what is good. And the agent out of necessity is posterior in the sense that the command obligates its goodness by virtue of being the execution of what was commanded, and that is not conceived except after the arrival of the command regarding it.
