It is only an oral tradition, and I am the source.

Dear Suhel,

I cannot find any reference for Egyptian Arabic, but I just happened
to stumble across one in Jordanian Arabic: Journal of Language and
Linguistics 2006 5/2, the article "The Pragmatics of Invitation Making
and Acceptance in Jordanian Society" by Mahmoud A. Al-Khatib (link:
http://www.shakespeare.uk.net/journal/5_2/al_khatib.htm).
On p. 286, you will find a dialogue where "ya reit" occurs twice, e.g.
(original transcription and translation):

?asif wallahi mašƔuul ʕindi miit šaƔlah w šaƔlah yareit bagdar
Sorry, by God, I'm busy.  I have a hundred of things to do. I wish I  
could!

bulbul
