maṣdarوَجْدَانٌ وُجْد وَجْدٌ وُجُودٌmuḍāriʿيَجِدُ يَجِد يَوْجَدُ

Core sense — he found it; he became rich; he was angry; he grieved; he loved hergenerated

1.1I found Zeydوَجَدْتُ زَيْدًا

Muḍāriʿ يَجِدُ and يَجُدُ, the latter of the dialect of the tribe of ʿĀmir Ibn-Ṣaʿṣaʿah, and without a parallel in verbs of this class, the و in it being dropped because it falls out in the original form of the muḍāriʿ. Several authors say that both forms apply to the verb in all its meanings, though F seems to restrict the latter to two meanings.

Maṣdar وُجُودٌ, وِجْدَان, and إِجْدَانٌ, in which the و is changed into ء, and also وَجْدٌ, وُجْدٌ, جِدَةٌ, and وَجِدَهُ.

Also, but this form of the verb is not found in the lexicons, [the K only accepted,] in the sense assigned to it here.

He found it; lighted on it; attained it; obtained it by searching or seeking; discovered it; perceived it; saw it; experienced it, or became sensible of it. Said of a thing sought, sought for or after, or desired, and also simply of a thing. F, in the K and in the Baṣāʾir, on the authority of Abu-l-Kāsim El-Isbahānee.

وُجُود is of several kinds. It is the finding by means of any one of the five senses.

I found, or perceived, its tasteوَجَدَتُ طَعْمَهُ
I perceived its odourرَائِحَتَهُ
I perceived its soundصَوْتَهُ
I perceived its roughnessخُشُونَتَهُ
I found, or became sensible of, satietyوَجَدْتُ الشِّبَعَ

Also the finding by means of the faculty of appetite, [or rather of sensation, which is the cause of appetite].

God knewوَجَدَ ٱللّٰهُ

Also the finding by the intellect, or by means of the intellect; of which kind is one's knowing God. Here it should be noted that وجود attributed to God is simple knowledge. Abu-l-Kāsim El-Isbahānee, cited in the Baṣāʾir.

Er-Rāghib, Z and others: wherever it occurs, that is, in the Qur'ān, it means God knew.

1.1.1[he found, in the sense of] he knew [by experience]وَجَدَ

Used in this sense, as doubly transitive, its maṣdar is وَجْدَانٌ and وُجُودٌ. (Seer.)

It is also used as singly transitive, with the same meaning as عَلِمَ.

[In this sense it is a verb of the kind called أَفْعَالُ القُلُوبِ, having two objective complements; the first of these is called its noun, and the second its predicate.]

I [found, or] knew Zeyd to defend those things which should be held sacred, or inviolableوَجَدْتُ زَيْدًا ذَا الحِفَاظِ
1.1.2

When وَجَدَ means he found, or lighted on, a thing after it had gone away, its maṣdar is وِجْدَانٌ.

1.1.3[he found the stray beast]وَجَدَ الضَّالَّةَ

Muḍāriʿ يَجِد and يَجُدُ; maṣdar وَجْدَانٌ and لَمْ أَجِدْ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ بُدًّا.

1.1.4I found no means of avoiding, or escaping, thatلَمْ أَجِدْ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ بُدًّا

One also says لَمْ اجدِ. (Kz)

1.1.5he became possessed of wealth, or property; he became richوَجَدَ

Or he had a competence, or enough; he was in no need, without wants or with few wants, so as not to be poor afterwards; and he gained, acquired, or earned wealth. (Explanations of the Fs.)

Also وَجَدَ فِى المَالِ (Fs) and وَجَدَ المَالَ وَغَيَرَهُ; maṣdar وُجْد, وِجد, وَجْدٌ, جِدَهٌ, وِجْدَانٌ, and وُجُودٌ.

[the possession of money hides the weakness of judgment of the weak in judgment]وِجْدَانُ الرَّقِينِ يُغَطِّى أَفَنَ الأَفِينِ

Hence this saying of the Arabs.

1.2he was angry with himوَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ

(Fs), and يَجُدُ and وَجِدَ, as heard by Fr from certain of the Arabs. (Kzz)

Maṣdar مَوْجِدَةٌ (Fs), by some pronounced مَوْجَدَةٌ, and وَجْدٌ, جِدَةٌ, وِجْدَانٌ, and وُجُودٌ. (Fr, Kzz)

Or he was angry with him with the anger that comes from a friend.

1.3he loved himوَجَدَ بِهِ

.

he loved herوَجَدَ بِهَا
he loved her passionately, or fondlyتوّجد
he has a love, or a passionate or fond love, for herلَهُ بِهَا وَجْدٌ
1.4he grieved; he mourned; he sorrowedوَجَدَ

. ('Eyn, Fs, S, L, Msb, and others.)

Also وَجِدَ (El-Hejeree); this last is the only form mentioned in the K, but the former is the only one generally known. Also وَجُدَ.

I grieved for such a oneوَجَدْتُ بِهِ
I mourned, or sorrowed, for such a oneتوجّدت لَهُ

Ibn-Hishām El-Lakhmee says that in this sense وجد is not transitive: [that is, it takes a preposition].

1.5it existed; it came into existence from a state of nonexistenceوُجِدَ

.
