maṣdarإِتْيَانٌmuḍāriʿيَأْتِى آتِيهِ يَأْتُو

Core sense — he came; he came to him; he brought him; he did, or performed, itgenerated

1.1he came; and I came to him, or was present at it, namely a placeأَتَا

in the dialect of Hudheyl, يَأْت, without ى; also أَتَيْتُهُ. In the imperative some of the Arabs say تِ, suppressing the ا, as is done in خُذْ, كُلْ and مُرْ.

or this is a simple noun; and إِتْيَانَةٌ, which should not be used as an ism waḥda maṣdar except by a bad poetic licence; and أَتْىٌ, أُتِىٌ, إِتِىٌ and مَأْتَاةٌ.

The muḍāriʿ is يَأْتُو; and there is also أَتَوْتُهُ, muḍāriʿ آتُوهُ. For this reason we assign most of the words mentioned in art. اتو to this article as well.

[For the meaning of أَتَى, this verb and جَآءَ are synonymous according to the authorities indicated: some try to distinguish them, but contradict one another in doing so; the slight distinctions between them are best seen by comparing the examples here with those in art. جيأ.]

Er-Rāghib: the proper, or primary, meaning of الإِتْيَانُ is coming with ease.

1.1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredhe lay with her, namely a woman, or his wifeأَتَاهَا

An expression in the Qurʾān 26:165 comes from this.

literally, he came to her. Synonymous with جَامَعَهَا.

Qur’ān 26:166 approximate — somewhere between 26:20 and 26:189 Lane cites “Kur xxvi. 165”
1.1.2he came to the people; and hence, he claimed relationship to the people though not one of themأَتَى القَوْمَ

[See أَتِىُّ in art. اتو.]

1.1.3he brought him, or it; he made a man, or a thing such as property, to comeأَتَي بِهِ

[See also Form 4; and see below for other meanings of أَتَى when made transitive by means of بِ.]

he begot a child, or childrenأَتَى بِوَلَدٍ
she gave birth to himأَتَتْ بِهِ

Aboo-Is-hák: the words in the Qurʾān 2:143, أَيْنَمَا تَكُونُوا يَأْتِ بِكُمُ اللّٰهُ جَمِيعًا, mean: wherever you are, God will bring you all back to Himself.

he adduced a proofأَتَى بِبَيِّنَةٍ

on this sense See also Form 3.

1.1.4he entered into, engaged in, or occupied himself with the thing or affair; he did, or performed, itأَتَى الأَمْرَ

Also أَتَى بِهِ in the same sense.

he committed the crime, sin, or offenceالذَّنْبَ

Likewise بَالذَّنْبِ.

and they do not enter into, or engage in, prayer, except when they are heavy, or sluggishوَلَا يَأْتُونَ الصَّلَاةَ إِلَّا وَهُمْ كُسَالَى
he engaged in, or committed, that which was excessively foul or evilأَتَى الفَاحِشَهَ

In the Qurʾān 9:54.

[Also بِالفَاحِشَةِ: see the Qurʾān 4:23 and 65:1.]

he said, or did, what was good or excellent; he said, or did, wellأَتَى بِالجَيِّدِ مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ فِعْلٍ

See art. جود.

he (a horse) performed, or fetched, run after runأَتَى بِجَرْىِ بَعْدَ جَرْىٍ

See art. تأم and elsewhere.

Qur’ān 4:20 approximate — somewhere between 4:2 and 4:20 Lane cites “Kur iv. 23”
Qur’ān 4:20 the verse Lane’s citation points to, and it uses this root
وَإِنْ أَرَدتُّمُ ٱسْتِبْدَالَ زَوْجٍ مَّكَانَ زَوْجٍ وَءَاتَيْتُمْ إِحْدَىٰهُنَّ قِنطَارًا فَلَا تَأْخُذُوا۟ مِنْهُ شَيْـًٔا ۚ أَتَأْخُذُونَهُۥ بُهْتَـٰنًا وَإِثْمًا مُّبِينًا

But if ye decide to take one wife in place of another, even if ye had given the latter a whole treasure for dower, Take not the least bit of it back: Would ye take it by slander and manifest wrong?Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1.5and the enchanter shall not prosper where he is, or wherever he may beوَلَا يُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَى

It is also said to mean that wherever the enchanter is, he must be slain; such is the doctrine of the lawyers.

In the Qurʾān 20:72; explained as حَيْثُ كَانَ; and: where he comes; or حَيْثُ أَتَى بِسِحْرِهِ, where he comes with his enchantment, or where he performs his enchantment.

Qur’ān 20:69 matched to Lane’s own quotation of it Lane cites “Kur xx. 72”
Qur’ān 20:69 Lane quotes this verse
وَأَلْقِ مَا فِى يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوٓا۟ ۖ إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا۟ كَيْدُ سَـٰحِرٍ ۖ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلسَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَىٰ

"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."Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1.6he, or it, became, or came to beأَتَى

Z mentions this use, in the sense of صَارَ; it is like جَآءَ in the saying جَآءَ البِنَآءُ مُحْكَمًا.

the building became firm, strong, or compactالبِنَآءُ مُحْكَمًا
1.1.7the threatened punishment ordained of God has approached, so do not desire to hasten itأَتَى أَمْرُ آللّٰهِ فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوهُ
such a one was approached by an enemy who had come in sight of himأُتِىَ فُلَانٌ

In the Qurʾān 16:1; that is, its coming has approached.

Like عُنِىَ.

you are approached, O such a oneأُتِيتَ يَا فُلَانٌ
the enemy came to them, or came down upon them, overcoming themأَتَى عَلَيْهِمُ العَدُوُّ

Said when someone is warned of an enemy that has come in sight of him.

MF observes that أَتَى, when made transitive by means of عَلَى, seems to imply the meaning of نَزَلَ.

Lane cites “Bd in xviii. 40” — a commentary, not the verse; no modern number is given
1.1.8figurative · مجاز — inferredhe destroyed him, or itأَتَى عَلَيْهِ

And also أَتَاهُ, as will appear below.

time, or fortune, destroyed himأَتَى عَلَيْهِ الدَّهْرُ

From إِتْيَانُ العَدُوِّ.

but God brought destruction upon them from where they did not reckon, or expectفأَتاهُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ حيْثُ لَمْ يَحْتَسِبُوا
but God removed their building from the foundations and demolished it upon them, so destroying themفَأَتَى اللّٰهُ بُنْيَانَهُمْ مِنَ القَوَاعِدِ
he brought it to an end; he made an end of it; he consumed it; he exhausted it; he reached the end of itأَتَى عَلَيْهِ

Qurʾān 59:2, where destruction is meant. Es-Semeen.

Qurʾān 16:28.

Said of a thing; for instance, of what was in a bowl, or of what was in a vessel; like فَرَغَ مِنْهُ. Or it is the same as مَرَّ بِهِ, which may be rendered he went away with it; but as an explanation of أَتَى عَلَيْهِ this has another meaning, given below.

destruction came to such a one from the quarter where he felt secureأُتِىَ فُلَانٌ مِنْ مَأْمَنِهِ
property belonging to such a one perishedأُتِىَ عَلَي يَدِ فُلَانٍ
he is taken away, or carried off, and overcomeيُؤْتَى دُونَهُ
hence the trial, or affliction, came in upon youمِنْ هٰهُنَا أُتِيَتْ

A poet says

shāhid
أَتَى دُونَ حُلْوِالعَيْشِ حَتَّى أَمَرَّهُنُكُوبٌ عَلَي آثَارِهِنَّ نُكُوبُ

, meaning [Misfortunes, in the footsteps of which were misfortunes,] took away [what was sweet, of life, and rendered it bitter].

So I find it written, but I think the last word should be أُتِيتَ, to agree with an earlier phrase from the T.

he missed his object in respect of such a thing by laying hold upon it when it was not fit to be laid hold uponأُتِىَ مِنْ جِهَةِ كَذَا
the man was deceived, or deluded, and his sense became altered to him, so that he imagined to be true what was not trueأُتِىَ الرَّجُلُ

The verb here is in the passive form.

Like عُنِىَ.

1.1.9he, or it, passed by him, or over himأَتَى عَلَيْهِ

Synonymous with مَرَّ بِهِ; said, for instance, of a period of time.

a year passed over him; he became a year oldأَتَ عَلَيْهِ حَوْلٌ

See art. حول and elsewhere.

1.1.10

For أَتَتِ النَّاقَهُ and مَا أَحْسَنَ أَتْىَ يَدَى هذِهِ النّاقَةِ, see art. اتو.

Hence an expression in the Kur xxvi. 165. (TA.) 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 .] أَتَي 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.)

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] أَيْنَمَا تَكُونُوا يَأْتِ بِكُمُ اللّٰهُ 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. 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.

(M.) Z mentions that أَتَى occurs in the sense of صَارَ [He, or it, became; like as we sometimes say, he, or it, came, or came to be]; like جَآءَ in the saying, جَآءَ البِنَآءُ مُحْكَمًا . (Kull.) [So you say, البِنَآءُ مُحْكَمًا The building became, or came to be, firm, strong, or compact.] The saying, in the Kur [xvi. 1], أَتَى أَمْرُ آللّٰهِ فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوهُ means [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 فُلَانٌ [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.)

(Bd in xviii. 40.) Hence, أَتَى عَلَيْهِ [and أَتَاهُ , as will be seen by what follows,] He destroyed him, or it. (Bd ubi suprà.) And hence, from إِتْيَانُ العَدُوِّ , (Mgh,) أَتَى عَلَيْهِ الدَّهْرُ Time, or fortune, destroyed him. (M, Mgh, Msb, K.) Destruction is meant in the Kur [lix. 2], where it is said, فأَتاهُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ حيْثُ لَمْ يَحْتَسِبُوا [But God brought destruction upon them whence they did not reckon, or expect]. (EsSemeen, TA.) And it is said in the Kur [xvi. 28], فَأَتَى اللّٰهُ بُنْيَانَهُمْ مِنَ القَوَاعِدِ , i. e. But God removed their building from the foundations, and demolished it upon them, so that He destroyed them. (TA.) أَتَى عَلَيْهِ also signifies 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 Destruction came to such a one from the quarter whence he felt secure. (TA.) And أُتِىَ عَلَي يَدِ فُلَانٍ Property belonging to such a one perished. (T.) And يُؤْتَى دُونَهُ He is taken away, or carried off, and overcome. (TA.) A poet says, 1 meaning [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,] Hence the trial, or affliction, came in upon thee. (Mgh.) And أُتِىَ مِنْ جِهَةِ كَذَا , with the verb in the passive form, 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 , 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.
