How it is used

هَاتِ is a defective imperative verb: it exists only in the command form (هَاتِ to a man, هَاتِيَا to two, هَاتُوا to a group of men, هَاتِى to a woman, هَاتِينَ to a group of women), has no past tense (one does not say هَاتَيْتُ), and is never used prohibitively. Some grammarians trace it to أَتَى ('to come'), with the أ changed to هـ, though its pattern matches Form III. It should not be confused with the related exclamation هَيْتَ لَكَ ('Come!'), which occurs in Qur'an 12:23.
