لَمْ يَأْتِ رَجُلٌ بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ إِلَّا أُوذِيَ،
No man came with what you brought except that he was harmed.
يَأْتِ — come. A present-shaped verb pulled back to past meaning by the 'lam' before it, hence 'came / did come'. That 'lam' also trims its ending into the jussive (the clipped form), which is why the final vowel drops away. Its subject 'a man' follows in the usual verb-first order.
