Form 1فَقَدَهُ1 sense

muḍāriʿـِيَفْعِلُmaṣdarفَقْدٌ

Core sense — he found it not, he lost it, he lacked itgenerated

1.1it was not found, was lost, was not seen—فُقِدَ

maṣdar فَقْدٌ, فِقْدَانٌ, فُقْدَانٌ, فُقُودٌ, and افتقدهُ.

He found it not, lost it, did not see it; he missed it, or failed to find or see it; it was absent from him, or he did not have it, lacked it, or wanted it. Synonym عَدِمَهُ.

Er-Rāghib: الفَقْدُ has a more special meaning than العَدَمُ, this latter being the opposite of الوُجُودُ, whereas الفَقْدُ, as maṣdar of فُقِدَ, though often used to mean being non-existent, properly means that the thing is absent from the range of perception by sense, so that its place is not known.

he who seeks will not find—مَنْ يَتَفَقَّدْ يَفْقِدْ

It is related of Abu-d-Dardà that he said this, meaning: one who seeks after good in mankind will not find it, for he saw good to be rare in mankind; or one who seeks to acquaint himself with the circumstances of men will not find what will please him.

4.1may God cause you to lose every relation, or every loved and loving relation—أَفْقَدَكَ ٱللّٰهُ كُلَّ جَمِيمٍ
