Full Definition

أَجَاءَهُIV He made him, or it, to come.
2 [Hence,] أَجَأْتُهُ i. q. جِئْتُ بِهِ: see 1.
3 أَجَأْتُهُ إِلَيْهِ I compelled him, constrained him, or necessitated him, to have recourse, or betake himself, to it; or made him to want it, or be in need of it: in the dial. of Temeem, أَشَأْتُهُ. (TA in art. شيأ.) It is said in a prov., شَرٌّ مَا يُجِيْؤُكَ إِلَى مُخَّةِ عُرْقُوبٍ [It is an evil thing that compels thee to have recourse to the marrow of a hock]; for, as As says, the عرقوب contains no marrow, and only he who cannot obtain any [other] thing is made to want it. And it is said in the Kur xix. 23, فَأَجَآءَهَا المَخَاضُ إِلَى جِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ And the motion of the child in her womb compelled her to betake herself to the trunk of the palm-tree.
