[Golius, reading أَوْحَيْتُ for أَوْجَبْتُ, the explanation in the S, has rendered حَتَمَ as signifying “ inspiravit: ” and the next explanation given by him, i. e. “ indicavit, ” is a misprint for “ judicavit. ”]) Or حَتَمَ عَلَيْهِ الأَمْرَ, aorist and verbal noun as above, signifies He made the thing, or affair, or event, to be absolutely, or decisively, or irreversibly, necessary, requisite, or unavoidable, for him to do, or to suffer.
