📖 Lane's Lexicon (Root: اتي)

[1] أَتَى , aor. يَأْتِى, (Msb,) and, in the dial. of Hudheyl, يَأْت, without ى; (S;) and أَتَيْتُهُ, (T, S, M, Msb, K,) [aor. آتِيهِ;] and in the imperative, some of the Arabs say, تِ, suppressing the ا, like as is done in خُذْ and كُلْ and مُرْ; (IJ, M;) inf. n. إِتْيَانٌ, (T, S, * M, Mgh, Msb, K,) or this is a simple subst., (Msb.) and إِتْيَانَةٌ, (M, K,) which should not be used as an inf. n. of un., unless by a bad poetic licence, (Lth, T,) and أَتْىٌ (T, S, M, Msb, K) and أُتِىٌّ and إِتِىٌّ and مَأْتَاةٌ; (M, K;) He [or it] came; (Msb;) and I came to him, or it; (S, M, Mgh, * Msb, K;) or was, or became, present at it, namely, a place: (Mgh:) as also أَتَا, aor. يَأْتُو; (Msb;) and أَتَوْتُهُ, (T, S, M, K), aor. آتُوهُ: (S:) for which reason, we assign the generality of the words mentioned in art. اتو to the present art. also. (M.) [Accord. to the authorities here indicated for the signification of أَتَى, this verb and جَآءَ are syn.: some attempt to distinguish them; but contradict one another in so doing: the slight distinctions that exist between them will be best seen by a comparison of the exs. in this art. with those in art. جيأ:] accord. to Er-Rághib, the proper [or primary] signification of الإِتْيَانُ is The coming with ease. (TA.) ― 2-b2- أَتَاهَا, (Mgh, Msb,) inf. n. إِتْيَانٌ, (Msb,) [lit. He came to her,] means (assumed tropical:) he lay with her; syn. جَامَعَهَا; (Mgh, Msb;) namely, a woman, (Mgh,) or his wife. (Msb.) Hence an expression in the Kur xxvi. 165. (TA.) ― 2-b3- أَتَى القَوْمَ [He came to the people: and hence,] he asserted his relationship to the people, not being of them. (Msb.) [See أَتِىُّ in art. اتو.] ― 2-b4- أَتَى بِهِ [He came with, or brought, him, and it; or] he made him (a man), and it (a thing, such, for instance, as property), to come. (Kull.) [See also 4: and see, in what follows, other significations of أَتَى trans. by means of بِ. Hence, أَتَى بِوَلَدٍ He begot a child, or children. And أَتَتْ بِهِ She brought him forth; gave birth to him.] Accord. to Aboo-Is-hák, the meaning of the words in the Kur [ii. 143 {148}] أَيْنَمَا تَكُونُوا يَأْتِ بِكُمُ ٱللّٰهُ جَمِيعًا is, Wherever ye be, God will bring you all back unto Himself. (M.) [You say also, أَتَى بِبَيِّنَةٍ He adduced a proof.] See also 3. ― 2-b5- أَتَى الأَمْرَ [He entered into, engaged in, or occupied himself with, the thing, or affair: and, as also أَتَى بِهِ,] he did, executed, or performed, the thing, or affair; (M. K;) and in like manner, الذَّنْبَ, [and بَالذَّنْبِ,] the crime, sin, or offence. (M.) It is said in the Kur [ix. 54], وَلَا يَأْتُونَ الصَّلَاةَ إِلَّا وَهُمْ كُسَالَى, meaning And they do not enter into, or engage in, prayer, unless when they are heavy, or sluggish. (TA.) And you say, أَتَى الفَاحِشَهَ, [and بِالفَاحِشَةِ, (see Kur iv. 23 {22} and lxv. 1,)] He entered into, engaged in, or occupied himself with, [or he did, or committed,] that which was excessively foul or evil. (TA.) And أَتَى بِالجَيِّدِ مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ فِعْلٍ [He said, gave utterance to, uttered, or expressed, or he brought to pass, did, or effected, what was good, or excellent; he said, or did, well, or excellently]. (Msb in art. جود.) And أَتَى بِجَرْىٍ بَعْدَ جَرْىٍ[He (a horse) performed, or fetched, run after run]. (S in art. تأم, &c.) ― 2-b6- وَلَا يُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَى[in the Kur xx. 72 {69}] means حَيْثُ كَانَ [And the enchanter shall not prosper where he is, or wherever he may be]; (M, Bd, K;) and where he cometh: (Bd:) or حَيْثُ أَتَى بِسِحْرِهِ[where he cometh with his enchantment; or where he performeth his enchantment]: (Jel:) and it is said to mean that where the enchanter is, he must be slain: such is the doctrine of the lawyers. (M.) ― 2-b7- Z mentions that أَتَىoccurs in the sense of صَارَ [He, or it, became; like as we sometimes say, he, or it, came, or came to be]; like جَآءَin the saying, جَآءَ البِنَآءُ مُحْكَمًا. (Kull.) [So you say, أَتَى البِنَآءُ مُحْكَمًاThe building became, or came to be, firm, strong, or compact.] ― 2-b8- The saying, in the Kur [xvi. 1], أَتَى أَمْرُ آللّٰهِ فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوهُmeans [The threatened punishment ordained of God hath approached: therefore desire not ye to hasten it:] its coming hath approached. (TA.) [And in like manner,] أُتِىَ فُلَانٌ, like عُنِىَ, means Such a one was approached by the enemy come in sight of him. (K.) أُتِيتَ يَا فُلَانُ[Thou art approached &c., O such a one,] is said when one is warned of an enemy that has come in sight of him. (Sgh, TA.) And أَتَى عَلَيْهِمُ العَدُوُّmeans The enemy came to them, [or came down upon them, for, as MF observes, أَتَىwhen trans. by means of عَلَىseems to imply the meaning of نَزَلَ,] overcoming, or overpowering, them. (Bd in xviii. 40.) ― 2-b9- Hence, أَتَى عَلَيْهِ[and أَتَاهُ, as will be seen by what follows,] (assumed tropical:) He destroyed him, or it. (Bd ubi suprà.) And hence, from إِتْيَانُ العَدُوِّ, (Mgh,) أَتَى عَلَيْهِ الدَّهْرُ(tropical:) Time, or fortune, destroyed him. (M, Mgh, Msb, K.) Destruction is meant in the Kur [lix. 2], where it is said, فأَتاهُمُ ٱللّٰهُ مِنْ حيْثُ لَمْ يَحْتَسِبُوا(assumed tropical:) [But God brought destruction upon them whence they did not reckon, or expect]. (EsSemeen, TA.) And it is said in the Kur [xvi. 28 {26}], فَأَتَى ٱللّٰهُ بُنْيَانَهُمْ مِنَ القَوَاعِدِ, i. e. (assumed tropical:) But God removed their building from the foundations, and demolished it upon them, so that He destroyed them. (TA.) أَتَى عَلَيْهِalso signifies (assumed tropical:) He caused it to come to an end; made an end of it; consumed it; [devoured it;] exhausted it; came to, or reached, the end of it; namely, a thing; (Kull;) as, for instance, what was in a bowl; (K in art. جردم;) and what was in a vessel; (K in art. جرجب;) like فَرَغَ مِنْهُ: (ISd cited in the TA in art. نكش:) or i. q. مَرَّ بِهِ[which may be rendered he went away with it; but this, as an explanation of أَتَى عَلَيْهِ, has another meaning, which see in what follows]. (Kull.) And one says, أُتِىَ فُلَانٌ مِنْ مَأْمَنِهِ(assumed tropical:) Destruction came to such a one from the quarter whence he felt secure. (TA.) And أُتِىَ عَلَى يَدِ فُلَانٍ(assumed tropical:) Property belonging to such a one perished. (T.) And يُؤْتَى دُونَهُ(assumed tropical:) He is taken away, or carried off, and overcome. (TA.) A poet says, أَتَى دُونَ حُلْوِالعَيْشِ حَتَّى أَمَرَّهُ نُكُوبٌ عَلَى آثَارِهِنَّ نُكُوبُ meaning (assumed tropical:) [Misfortunes, in the footsteps of which were misfortunes,] took away [what was sweet, of life, and rendered it bitter]. (TA.) One says also, مِنْ هٰهُنَا أُتِيَتْ, [so I find it written, but I think that the last word should be أُتِيتَ, agreeably with a preceding phrase from the T,] (assumed tropical:) Hence the trial, or affliction, came in upon thee. (Mgh.) And أُتِىَ مِنْ جِهَةِ كَذَا, with the verb in the passive form, (assumed tropical:) He missed [his object in respect of such a thing] by laying hold upon it when it was not fit to be laid hold upon. (Msb.) And أُتِىَ الرَّجُلُ, [also] like عُنِىَ, (assumed tropical:) The man was deceived, or deluded, and his faculty of sense became altered to him, so that he imagined that to be true which was not true. (TA.) ― 2-b10- أَتَى عَلَيْهِ is also syn. with مَرَّ بِهِ[meaning He, or it, (as, for instance, a period of time,) passed by him, or over him]. (Msb.) You say, أَتَى عَلَيْهِ حَوْلٌ[A year passed over him; or he became a year old]. (S, K, Msb, in art. حول; &c.) ― 2-b11- أَتَتِ النَّاقَهُ, and مَا أَحْسَنَ أَتْىَ يَدَىْ هٰذِهِ النّاقَةِ: see art. اتو.
