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, present—جَآءَ
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 مَفْعِلٌ — مَجِىْءٌ 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 present—جَآءَ زَيْدٌ

أَجَأْتُهُ has the same meaning.

praise be to God that you came, or have come—الحَمْدُ 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.

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 فَرِيًّاAt 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 became—جَآء
Synonymous with صَارَ, like أَتَى.
the building became firm, strong, or compact—جَآءَ 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.

, aor. يَجِىْءُ , inf. n. مَجِىْءٌ (S, Msb, K, &c., [the most common form, but] deviating from the general rule [respecting inf. ns. of this class], for the inf. n. of a verb of the form فَعَلَ having its aor. of the form يَفْعِلُ is [accord. to the general rule, if commencing with an augmentative م ,] مَفْعَلٌ , though some words, beside مَجِىْءٌ , deviate from this rule by being of the measure مَفْعِلٌ , [for مَجِىْءٌ is originally مَجْيِئٌ ,] as مَعِيشٌ and مَكِيلٌ and مَصِيرٌ and مَسِيرٌ and مَحِيدٌ and مَمِيلٌ and مَقِيلٌ and مَزِيدٌ and مَعِيلٌ and مَبِيعٌ and مَحِيصٌ and مَحِيضٌ , S, * TA) and جَيْئَةٌ (S, K, of the form of an inf. n. of un., but used as an inf. n. in an absolute sense, like رَجْفَةٌ and رَحْمَةٌ , S, TA) and جَىْءٌ , (K,) He, or it, came; or was, or became, present; syn. أَتَى ; (S, K;) or حَضَرَ , said of a man [&c.]; (Msb;) or حَصَلَ [meaning it came, came to pass, happened, took place, betided, befell, or occurred; it resulted; it ensued; &c.]; and it is used in relation to ideal, as well as real, substantives; so that إِذَا جَآءَ نَصْرُ ٱللّٰهِ [When the assistance of God shall come (in the Kur ex. 1)] is [not a figurative but] a proper phrase. (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.
