Its root in the classical dictionaries
جاء يجيء ومجيئا، والمجيء كالإتيان، لكن المجيء أعم، لأن الإتيان مجيء بسهولة، والإتيان قد يقال باعتبار القصد وإن لم يكن منه الحصول، والمجيء يقال اعتبارا بالحصول، ويقال : جاء في الأعيان والمعاني، ولما يكون مجيئه بذاته وبأمره، ولمن قصد مكانا أو عملا أو زمانا، قال الله عز وجل: وجاء من أقصا المدينة رجل يسعى [يس/ 20] ، ولقد…
الجيم والياء والهمزة كلمتان من غير قياس بينهما. يقال جاء يجيء مجيئا. ويقال جاءاني فجئته، أي غالبني بكثرة المجيء [فغلبته]. والجيئة: مصدر جاء. والجئة: مجتمع الماء حوالي الحصن وغيره. ويقال هي جيئة بالكسر والتثقيل.
But the Hoopoe tarried not
Far: he (came up and) said:
"I have compassed (territory)
Which thou hast not compassed,
And I have come to thee
From Saba with tidings true.
Now when (the embassy) came
To Solomon, he said:
"Will ye give me abundance
In wealth? But that which
God has given me is better
Than that which He has
Given you! Nay it is ye
Who rejoice in your gift!
So when she arrived,
She was asked, "Is this
Thy throne?" She said,
"It was just like this;
And knowledge was bestowed
On us in advance of this,
And we have submitted
To God (in Islam)."
Until, when they come
(Before the Judgment-seat),
(God) will say: "Did ye
Reject My Signs, though ye
Comprehended them not
In knowledge, or what
Was it ye did?"
And there came a man,
Running, from the furthest end
Of the City. He said:
"O Moses! the Chiefs
Are taking counsel together
About thee, to slay thee:
So get thee away, for I
Do give thee sincere advice."
Afterwards one of the (damsels)
Came (back) to him, walking
Bashfully. She said: "My father
Invites thee that he may
Reward thee for having watered
(Our flocks) for us." So when
He came to him and narrated
The story, he said:
"Fear thou not: (well) hast thou
Escaped from unjust people."
Moses said: "My Lord
Knows best who it is
That comes with guidance
From Him and whose End
Will be best in the Hereafter:
Certain it is that
The wrong-doers will not prosper."
But (now), when the Truth
Has come to them from Ourselves,
They say, "Why are not
(Signs) sent to him, like
Those which were sent to Moses?"
Do they not then reject
(The Signs) which were formerly
Sent to Moses? They say:
"Two kinds of sorcery,
Each assisting the other .
And they say: "For us,
We reject all (such things)!"
Verily He Who ordained
The Qur-ān for thee, will bring
Thee back to the Place
Of Return. Say: "My Lord
Knows best who it is
That brings true guidance,
And who is in manifest error."
Then there are among men
Such as say, "We believe
In God"; but when they suffer
Affliction in (the cause of) God,
They treat men's oppression
As if it were the Wrath
Of God! And if help
Comes (to thee) from thy Lord,
They are sure to say,'
"We have (always) been
With you!" Does not God
Know best all that is
In the hearts of all Creation?
When Our Messengers came
To Abraham with the good news,
They said: "We are indeed
Going to destroy the people
Of this township: for truly
They are (addicted to) crime."
And when Our Messengers
Came to Lūṭ, he was
Grieved on their account,
And felt himself powerless
(To protect) them: but they said:
"Fear thou not, nor grieve:
We are (here) to save thee
And thy following, except
Thy wife: she is
Of those who lag behind.
