Root entry · 1 derived lemma

1 جَاآءَ جاآء , aor. يَجِىْءُ, inf. n. مَجِىْءٌ (S, Msb, K, &c., [the most common form, but] deviating from the general rule [respecting inf. ns. of this class], for the inf. n. of a verb of the form فَعَلَ having its aor. of the form يَفْعِلُ is [accord. to the general rule, if commencing with an augmentative م,] مَفْعَلٌ, though some words, beside مَجِىْءٌ, deviate from this rule by being of the measure مَفْعِلٌ, [for مَجِىْءٌ is originally مَجْيِئٌ,] as مَعِيشٌ and مَكِيلٌ and مَصِيرٌ and مَسِيرٌ and مَحِيدٌ and مَمِيلٌ and مَقِيلٌ and مَزِيدٌ and مَعِيلٌ and مَبِيعٌ and مَحِيصٌ and مَحِيضٌ, S, * TA) and جَيْئَةٌ (S, K, of the form of an inf. n. of un., but used as an inf. n. in an absolute sense, like رَجْفَةٌ and رَحْمَةٌ, S, TA) and جَىْءٌ, (K,) He, or it, came; or was, or became, present; syn. أَتَى; (S, K;) or حَضَرَ, said of a man [&c.]; (Msb;) or حَصَلَ [meaning it came, came to pass, happened, took place, betided, befell, or occurred; it resulted; it ensued; &c.]; and it is used in relation to ideal, as well as real, substantives; so that اـِذَا جَاآءَ نَصْرُ ا@للّٰهِ [ When the assistance of God shall come (in the Kur ex. 1)] is [not a figurative but] a proper phrase. (Er-Rághib, TA.) Sb mentions, on the authority of certain of the Arabs, هُوَ يَجِيكَ [for هو يَجِيْؤُكَ He comes, or will come, to thee ], with the hemzeh suppressed: (TA:) and he also mentions يَجُوْءُ as a dial. var. of يَجِىْءُ. (Id. in art. جوأ, q. v.) [As shown above,] جَاآءَ is used intransitively and transitively. (Msb, MF.) say, جَاآءَ زَيْدٌ Zeyd came; or was, or became, present. (Msb.) And جِئْتُ مَجِيْئًا حَسَنًا [ I came with a good coming; or in a good manner ]. (S.) And جِئْتُ زَيْدًا I came to Zeyd. (Msb.) And sometimes one says, جِئْتُ اـِلَيْهِ meaning I went [as well as I came ] to him, or it. (Msb.) And جِئْتُ مِنَ البَلَدِ [ I came from the town, or country ]: and مِنَ القَوْمِ, meaning مِنْ عِنْدِ القَوْمِ [ from the presence of the people, or company of men ]. (Msb.) And جَاآءَ الغَيْثُ The rain [ came, or] descended. (Msb.) And جَاآءَ أَمْرُ السُّلْطَانِ The order, or command, of the Sultán came, or arrived. (Msb.) And جِئْتُ بِهِ (S, Msb, K) and ↓ أَجَأْتُهُ, both signifying the same, (S, K,) [ I came with him, or it; ] I brought him, or it, with me. (Msb.) And الحَمْدُ للّٰهِ الَّذِى جَاآءَ بِكَ [ Praise be to God who brought thee ]; and الحَمْدُ للّٰهِ اـِذْ جِئْتَ [ Praise be to God because, or that, thou camest, or hast come ]; but not الحَمْدُ للّٰهِ الَّذِى جِئْتَ: (S, TA:) and [in like manner] you say, الحَمْدُ للّٰهِ اـِذْ كَانَ كَذَا; but not الحَمْدُ للّٰهِ الَّذِى كَانَ كَذَا unless you say بِهِ or مِنْهُ or عَنْهُ [after الذى]. (ISk, TA.) [Hence, جَاآءَ بِوَلَدٍ He begot a child, or children; like أَتَى بِوَلَدٍ. And جَاآءتْ بِهِ She brought him forth; gave birth to him; like أَتَتْ بِهِ. And جَاآءَ بِمَعْنًى It (a word) conveyed, or imported, a meaning. ] ― -b2- [جَاآءَ بِشَىْءٍ also signifies He brought to pass, did, executed, performed, or effected, a thing: and he said, gave utterance to, or uttered, a thing: like أَتَى بِهِ in both these senses.] And جَاآءَ كَذَا He did thus, or such a thing. (TA.) Hence, [in the Kur xix. 28,] لَقَدْ جِئْتِ شَيْئًا فَرِيًّا (TA) [ Verily, O Mary, thou hast done ] a thing hitherto unknown; a thing deemed strange. (Bd. [See another ex. voce اـِمْرٌ, likewise from the Kur.]) And جِئْتُ شَيْئًا حَسَنًا I did a good thing. (Msb.) And جَاآءَ بِالبَدِيعِ He produced a new saying, or new poetry, not after the similitude of anything preceding. (TA in art. بدع.) And جَاآءَ جَرْيًا بَعْدَ جَرْىٍ (K in art. تأم) or [more commonly] جاء بِجَرْىٍ بَعْدَ جَرْىٍ (M in that art.) [ He (a horse) performed, or fetched, run after run ]. ― -b3- جَاآء is also syn. with صَارَ, like أَتَى; as in the saying, جَاآءَ البِنَاآءُ مُحْكَمًا The building became, or came to be, firm, strong, or compact. (Kull p. 11.) [And hence the phrase,] مَا جَاآءَتْ حَاجَتَكَ, (M, K,) thus in all the copies of the K, with the noun in the accus. case; i. e. What became, or has become, thy want? syn. مَا صَارَتْ; (M, K;) or What was thy want? syn. مَا كَانَتْ: (Er-Radee, TA:) ما being here an interrogative, and the [implied] pronoun [in the verb] being made fem. because its predicate is fem.: but some say حَاجَتُكَ, in the nom. case, [as it is in the CK, meaning What did, or has, thy want become? ] regarding حاجتك as the subject of جاءت, and ما as the predicate of this verb. (TA.) ― -b4- See also 3.
