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.
"Behold! thy sister goeth forth
And saith, "Shall I show you
One who will nurse
And rear the (child)?
So We brought thee back
To thy mother, that her eye
Might be cooled and she
Should not grieve.
Then thou didst slay
A man, but We saved thee
From trouble, and We tried
Thee in various ways.
Then didst thou tarry
A number of years
With the people of Midian.
Then didst thou come hither
As ordained, O Moses!
"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!
They said: "Never shall we
Regard thee as more than
The Clear Signs that have
Come to us; or than
Him Who created us!
So decree whatever thou
Desirest to decree: for thou
Canst only decree (touching)
The life of this world.
So We inspired him
(With this message): "Construct
The Ark within Our sight
And under Our guidance: then
When comes Our command,
And the fountains of the earth
Gush forth, take thou on board
Pairs of every species, male
And female, and thy family—
Except those of them
Against whom the Word
Has already gone forth:
And address Me not
In favour of the wrong-doers;
For they shall be drowned
(In the Flood).
Then sent We Our apostles
In succession: every time
There came to a people
Their apostle, they accused him
Of falsehood: so We made
Them follow each other
(In punishment): We made them
As a tale (that is told):
So away with a people
That will not believe!
Those who brought forward
The lie are a body
Among yourselves: think it not
To be an evil to you;
On the contrary it is good
For you: to every man
Among them (will come
The punishment) of the sin
That he earned, and to him
Who took on himself the lead
Among them, will be
A Penalty grievous.
Why did they not bring
Four witnesses to prove it?
When they have not brought
The witnesses, such men,
In the sight of God,
(Stand forth) themselves as liars!
but the Unbelievers,—
Their deeds are like a mirage
In sandy deserts, which
The man parched with thirst
Mistakes for water; until
When he comes up to it,
He finds it to be nothing:
But he finds God
(Ever) with him, and God
Will pay him his account:
And God is swift
In taking account.
But the Misbelievers say:
"Naught is this but a lie
Which he has forged,
And others have helped him
At it." In truth it is they
Who have put forward
An iniquity and a falsehood.
