Its root in the classical dictionaries
الإتيان: مجيء بسهولة، ومنه قيل للسيل المار على وجهه: أتي وأتاوي ، وبه شبه الغريب فقيل: أتاوي .
تقول: أتاني فلان إتيانا وأتيا وأتية وأتوة واحدة، ولا يقال: إتيانة واحدة إلا في اضطرار شاعر، وهو قبيح لأن المصادر كلها إذا جعلت واحدة ردت إلى بناء فعلها، وذلك إذا كان الفعل على فعل، فإذا دخلت في الفعل زيادات فوق ذلك أدخلت فيها زياداتها في الواحدة، كقولنا إقبالة واحدة. قال شاعر في الأتي:
Behold, he saw a fire:
So he said to his family,
"Tarry ye; I perceive
A fire; perhaps I can
Bring you some burning brand
Therefrom, or find some guidance
At the fire."
"So go ye both to him,
And say, "Verily we are
Apostles sent by thy Lord:
Send forth, therefore, the Children
Of Israel with us, and
Afflict them not:
With a Sign, indeed,
Have we come from thy Lord!
And Peace to all
Who follow guidance!
"But we can surely produce
Magic to match thine!
So make a tryst
Between us and thee,
Which we shall not fail
To keep—neither we nor thou—
In a place where both
Shall have even chances."
"Throw that which is
In thy right hand:
Quickly will it swallow up
That which they have faked
What they have faked
Is but a magician's trick:
And the magician thrives not,
(No matter) where he goes."
He said: "Get ye down,
Both of you,—all together,
From the Garden, with enmity
One to another: but if,
As is sure, there comes to you
Guidance from Me, whosoever
Follows My guidance, will not
Lose his way, nor fall
Into misery.
Their hearts toying as with
Trifles. The wrong-doers conceal
Their private counsels, (saying),
"Is this (one) more than
A man like yourselves?
Will ye go to witchcraft
With your eyes open?"
"Nay," they say, "(these are)
Medleys of dreams!—Nay,
He forged it!—Nay,
He is (but) a poet!
Let him then bring us
A Sign like the ones
That were sent to
(Prophets) of old!"
Nay, We gave the good things
Of this life to these men
And their fathers until
The period grew long for them;
See they not that We
Gradually reduce the land
(In their control) from
Its outlying borders? Is it
Then they who will win?
We shall set up scales
Of justice for the day
Of Judgment, so that
Not a soul will be dealt with
Unjustly in the least.
And if there be
(No more than) the weight
Of a mustard seed,
We will bring it (to account):
And enough are We
To take account.
