maṣdarمَجِىْءٌmuḍāriʿيَجِىْءُ

Core sense — he, or it, came, or was present; he brought it; he did a thinggenerated

1.1he, or it, came; or was, or became, presentجَآءَ

the most common form, though it departs from the general rule: by rule the maṣdar of a verb of the form فَعَلَ whose muḍāriʿ is of the form يَفْعِلُ is, if it begins with an augmentative م, مَفْعَلٌ. Some words besides مَجِىْءٌ depart from this rule by being of the measure مَفْعِلٌمَجِىْءٌ being originally مَجْيِئٌ — such as مَعِيشٌ, مَكِيلٌ, مَصِيرٌ, مَسِيرٌ, مَحِيدٌ, مَمِيلٌ, مَقِيلٌ, مَزِيدٌ, مَعِيلٌ, مَبِيعٌ, مَحِيصٌ, and مَحِيضٌ.

Other maṣdars are جَيْئَةٌ, which has the form of an ism waḥda but is used in an absolute sense, like رَجْفَةٌ and رَحْمَةٌ, and also جَىْءٌ.

Synonymous with أَتَى or حَضَرَ when said of a man and the like; or with حَصَلَ, meaning it came to pass, happened, took place, or occurred; it resulted; it ensued.

Er-Rāghib: it is used of ideal as well as of real substantives, so that إِذَا جَآءَ نَصْرُ ٱللّٰهِ [When the assistance of God shall come (Kur 110:1)] is a proper phrase, not a figurative one.

Sb mentions, on the authority of some of the Arabs, هُوَ يَجِيكَ for هو يَجِيْؤُكَ [he comes, or will come, to you], with the hemzeh suppressed; and he also mentions يَجُوْءُ as a dialectal variant of يَجِىْءُ, in art. جوأ.

Zeyd came, or was presentجَآءَ زَيْدٌ
I came with a good coming, or in a good mannerجِئْتُ مَجِيْئًا حَسَنًا
I came to Zeydجِئْتُ زَيْدًا
I went to him, or itجِئْتُ إِلَيْهِ
I came from the town, or countryجِئْتُ مِنَ البَلَدِ
I came from the presence of the people, or company of menمِنَ القَوْمِ

The verb is used both intransitively and transitively.

That is, مِنْ عِنْدِ القَوْمِ.

the rain came, or descendedجَآءَ الغَيْثُ
the order, or command, of the Sultán came, or arrivedجَآءَ أَمْرُ السُّلْطَانِ
I came with him, or it; I brought him, or it, with meجِئْتُ بِهِ

أَجَأْتُهُ has the same meaning.

praise be to God who brought youالحَمْدُ للّٰهِ الَّذِى جَآءَ بِكَ
praise be to God that you came, or have comeالحَمْدُ للّٰهِ إِذْ جِئْتَ

But one does not say الحَمْدُ للّٰهِ الَّذِى جِئْتَ; and in the same way you say الحَمْدُ للّٰهِ إِذْ كَانَ كَذَا, but not الحَمْدُ للّٰهِ الَّذِى كَانَ كَذَا, unless you say بِهِ or مِنْهُ or عَنْهُ after الذى.

he begot a child, or childrenجَآءَ بِوَلَدٍ

Like أَتَى بِوَلَدٍ.

1.1.1he brought about, did, or performed, a thing; and he said, or uttered, a thingجَآءَ بِشَىْءٍ

Like أَتَى بِهِ in both of these senses.

he did thus, or such a thingجَآءَ كَذَا
O Mary, you have done a thing until now unknown, a thing deemed strangeلَقَدْ جِئْتِ شَيْئًا فَرِيًّا

In the Kur 19:28. Bd. For another example, likewise from the Kur, see إِمْرٌ.

I did a good thingجِئْتُ شَيْئًا حَسَنًا
he produced a new saying, or new poetry, not modelled on anything before itجَآءَ بِالبَدِيعِ

In art. بدع.

he (a horse) performed, or fetched, run after runجَآءَ جَرْيًا بَعْدَ جَرْىٍ

In the K, in art. تأم. The more common form is جاء بِجَرْىٍ بَعْدَ جَرْىٍ.

Qur’ān 19:27 matched to Lane’s own quotation of it Lane cites “Kur xix. 28”
Qur’ān 19:27 Lane quotes this verse
فَأَتَتْ بِهِۦ قَوْمَهَا تَحْمِلُهُۥ ۖ قَالُوا۟ يَـٰمَرْيَمُ لَقَدْ جِئْتِ شَيْـًٔا فَرِيًّا

At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: "O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought!Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1.2it becameجَآء

Synonymous with صَارَ, like أَتَى.

the building became firm, strong, or compactجَآءَ البِنَآءُ مُحْكَمًا
what has your want become?مَا جَآءَتْ حَاجَتَكَ

So in all the copies of the K, with the noun in the accusative case. Er-Radee: the sense is مَا صَارَتْ, or "what was your want?", مَا كَانَتْ.

ما is here an interrogative, and the pronoun in the verb is made feminine because its khabar is feminine.

But some read حَاجَتُكَ in the nominative case, as it stands in the CK, meaning "what did your want become?", treating حاجتك as the subject of جاءت and ما as its khabar.

1.1.3

(Er-Rághib, TA.) Sb mentions, on the authority of certain of the Arabs, هُوَ يَجِيكَ [for هو يَجِيْؤُكَ He comes, or will come, to thee], with the hemzeh suppressed: (TA:) and he also mentions يَجُوْءُ as a dial. var. of يَجِىْءُ . (Id. in art. جوأ , q. v.) [As shown above,] جَآءَ is used intransitively and transitively. (Msb, MF.) say, جَآءَ زَيْدٌ Zeyd came; or was, or became, present. (Msb.) And جِئْتُ مَجِيْئًا حَسَنًا [I came with a good coming; or in a good manner]. (S.) And جِئْتُ زَيْدًا I came to Zeyd. (Msb.) And sometimes one says, جِئْتُ إِلَيْهِ meaning I went [as well as I came] to him, or it. (Msb.) And جِئْتُ مِنَ البَلَدِ [I came from the town, or country]: and مِنَ القَوْمِ , meaning مِنْ عِنْدِ القَوْمِ [from the presence of the people, or company of men]. (Msb.) And جَآءَ الغَيْثُ The rain [came, or] descended. (Msb.) And جَآءَ أَمْرُ السُّلْطَانِ The order, or command, of the Sultán came, or arrived. (Msb.) And جِئْتُ بِهِ (S, Msb, K) and أَجَأْتُهُ , both signifying the same, (S, K,) [I came with him, or it;] I brought him, or it, with me. (Msb.) And الحَمْدُ للّٰهِ الَّذِى جَآءَ بِكَ [Praise be to God who brought thee]; and الحَمْدُ للّٰهِ إِذْ جِئْتَ [Praise be to God because, or that, thou camest, or hast come]; but not الحَمْدُ للّٰهِ الَّذِى جِئْتَ : (S, TA:) and [in like manner] you say, الحَمْدُ للّٰهِ إِذْ كَانَ كَذَا ; but not الحَمْدُ للّٰهِ الَّذِى كَانَ كَذَا unless you say بِهِ or مِنْهُ or عَنْهُ [after الذى ]. (ISk, TA.) [Hence, جَآءَ بِوَلَدٍ He begot a child, or children; like أَتَى بِوَلَدٍ . And جَآءتْ بِهِ She brought him forth; gave birth to him; like أَتَتْ بِهِ . And جَآءَ بِمَعْنًى It (a word) conveyed, or imported, a meaning.] [ جَآءَ بِشَىْءٍ also signifies He brought to pass, did, executed, performed, or effected, a thing: and he said, gave utterance to, or uttered, a thing: like أَتَى بِهِ in both these senses.] And جَآءَ كَذَا He did thus, or such a thing. (TA.) Hence, [in the Kur xix. 28,] لَقَدْ جِئْتِ شَيْئًا فَرِيًّا (TA) [Verily, O Mary, thou hast done] a thing hitherto unknown; a thing deemed strange. (Bd. [See another ex. voce إِمْرٌ , likewise from the Kur.]) And جِئْتُ شَيْئًا حَسَنًا I did a good thing. (Msb.) And جَآءَ بِالبَدِيعِ He produced a new saying, or new poetry, not after the similitude of anything preceding. (TA in art. بدع .) And جَآءَ جَرْيًا بَعْدَ جَرْىٍ (K in art. تأم ) or [more commonly] جاء بِجَرْىٍ بَعْدَ جَرْىٍ (M in that art.) [He (a horse) performed, or fetched, run after run]. جَآء is also syn. with صَارَ , like أَتَى ; as in the saying, جَآءَ البِنَآءُ مُحْكَمًا The building became, or came to be, firm, strong, or compact. (Kull p. 11.) [And hence the phrase,] مَا جَآءَتْ حَاجَتَكَ , (M, K,) thus in all the copies of the K, with the noun in the accus. case; i. e. What became, or has become, thy want? syn. مَا صَارَتْ ; (M, K;) or What was thy want? syn. مَا كَانَتْ : (Er-Radee, TA:) ما being here an interrogative, and the [implied] pronoun [in the verb] being made fem. because its predicate is fem.: but some say حَاجَتُكَ , in the nom. case, [as it is in the CK, meaning What did, or has, thy want become?] regarding حاجتك as the subject of جاءت , and ما as the predicate of this verb. (TA.) See also 3.
Form 3 · maṣdarمُجَايَأَةٌ2 senses · 1 main

Core sense — the act of facing, or being opposite; and the act of coincidinggenerated

3.1the act of facing, or fronting, or being opposite; and the act of coincidingجَايَأَ

The headword is the maṣdar of the verb; جِيَآءٌ is used in the same sense.

he faced me, or was opposite to me, at a short distanceجَايَأَنِى مِنْ قُرْبٍ

Said of a man.

he passed by me in front of me, or opposite to meمَرَّ بِى مُجَايَأَةً
I coincided with such a one in his comingجَايَأْتُ فُلَانًا
if you had passed beyond this place, you would have met with rain, or coincided with its comingلَوْ جَاوَزْتَ هٰذَا المَكَانَ لَجَايَأْتَ الغَيْثَ
3.1.1he vied with me, or strove to surpass me, in frequency of coming, and I surpassed him in itجَاآنِى فَجِئْتُهُ

So in copies of the S, and in copies of the K as from the S; but in the TA, as from the S, جَآءَأَنِى, said to be with two hemzehs, which is clearly wrong.

Muḍāriʿ أَجِيْؤُهُ.

The first verb, of the measure فَاعَلَنِى, is said to be a mistake for جَايَأَنِى فجئته, since it has a weak letter ى for its middle radical and ء for its last, not the reverse; so what J says is not allowable unless it is a case of transposition. What F and Sgh give is the form according to rule, while J's is what has been heard from the Arabs, as ISd has pointed out; and rule is not to be regarded when it goes against classical usage.
