Core sense — he became, or assumed, a body; he became corporealgenerated

5.1

الجَسَدُ is like تجسّم from الجِسْمُ.

[It apparently means he became, or assumed, a جَسَد or body; he became corporeal, or incarnate; and this is how late writers, and present-day usage, take it. But تجسّم generally means he became corpulent. According to the TA, تجسّد, said of a man, is like تجسّم. According to the KL, the former means he became possessed of a body; according to the PS, he became corporeal, or corpulent.]

Core sense — the body of a human being, jinnee, or angel; saffron; bloodgenerated

1she is beautiful in respect of bodyإِنَّهَا لَحَسَنَةُ الأَجْسَادِ

The body, with the limbs, [or whole person,] of a human being, of a jinnee, and of an angel. El-Bári'.

El-Bári': it is applied only to the body of a rational animal, and to no body that is nourished with food except that of a human being; but it is applied to the body of every rational creature that neither eats nor drinks, such as the jinn and the angels. [The jinn, however, are commonly believed to eat and drink.]

Or, according to ISd, it seems to be applied figuratively to a body other than that of a human being: the [golden] calf of the Children of Israel cried, but did not eat or drink, [and so it is termed جسد]; and in the Kur-án [7:146 and 20:90] جَسَدًا stands in place of عِجْلًا, or it may be meant for ذَا جَسَدٍ. [But see another explanation of جسدا as used there, below.]

Or جَسَدٌ means the same as بَدَنٌ [which is generally held to mean the body without the head, arms and legs]. The plural is أَجْسَادٌ.

Lh mentions this saying, as though the singular of the plural so used were applied to every separate part.

2

Saffron; and so also جِسَادٌ, or a similar dye.

It also means a similar dye, red or intensely yellow; or bastard saffron, عُصْفُرٌ, and the former word means this too.

The headword has this meaning too, as does مُجْسَدٌ, blood being likened to saffron.

on this sense Or dry blood.

on this sense The plural of the first is as given above.

2.2a red golden calfعِجْلًا جَسَدًا

Some say this is the meaning in the Kur-án, in the two verses mentioned above.

Qur’ānic occurrences جَسَد
7:148
وَٱتَّخَذَ قَوْمُ مُوسَىٰ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ مِنْ حُلِيِّهِمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهُۥ خُوَارٌ ۚ أَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّهُۥ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمْ وَلَا يَهْدِيهِمْ سَبِيلًا ۘ ٱتَّخَذُوهُ وَكَانُوا۟ ظَـٰلِمِينَ

The people of Moses made, in his absence, out of their ornaments, the image of calf, (for worship): it seemed to low: did they not see that it could neither speak to them, nor show them the way? They took it for worship and they did wrong.

20:88
فَأَخْرَجَ لَهُمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهُۥ خُوَارٌ فَقَالُوا۟ هَـٰذَآ إِلَـٰهُكُمْ وَإِلَـٰهُ مُوسَىٰ فَنَسِىَ

"Then he brought out (of the fire) before the (people) the image of a calf: It seemed to low: so they said: This is your god, and the god of Moses, but (Moses) has forgotten!"

21:8
وَمَا جَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ جَسَدًا لَّا يَأْكُلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ خَـٰلِدِينَ

Nor did We give them bodies that ate no food, nor were they exempt from death.

38:34
وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا سُلَيْمَـٰنَ وَأَلْقَيْنَا عَلَىٰ كُرْسِيِّهِۦ جَسَدًا ثُمَّ أَنَابَ

And We did try Solomon: We placed on his throne a body (without life); but he did turn (to Us in true devotion):
