Classical Arabic - English Dictionary

وَجَدَهُ, aor. يَجِدُ and يَجُدُ, (Ṣ, L, Mṣb, Ḳ,) the latter of the dial. of the tribe of 'Ámir (Ṣ, L, Mṣb) Ibn-Saasa'ah, (MF,) and without a parallel (Ṣ, L, Mṣb, Ḳ) in verbs of this class, (Ṣ, L, Mṣb,) the و in it being dropped because it falls out in the original form of the aor., (Mṣb,) both of which forms are said by several authors to apply to the verb in all its significations, though F seems to restrict the latter to two significations, (TA,) inf. n. وُجُودٌ (Ṣ, L, Mṣb, Ḳ) and وِجْدَان (L, Mṣb, Ḳ,) and إِجْدَانٌ, (IAạr, L, Ḳ,) in which the و is changed into ء, (L,) and وَجْدٌ and وُجْدٌ and جِدَةٌ; (L, Ḳ;) and وَجِدَهُ, aor. يَجِدُ; (Ḳ;) but this form of the verb is not found in the lexicons, [the Ḳ only accepted,] (MF,) in the sense here assigned to it; (TA;) 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; (F, in the Ḳ and in the Basáïr, on the authority of Abu-l-Kásim El-Iṣbahánee;) namely, a thing sought, sought for or after, or desired; (Ṣ, L, Ḳ;) and simply a thing. (L.) وُجُود is of several kinds. It is The finding, &c., by means of any one of the five senses: as when one says وَجَدْتُ زَيْدًا [I found, &c., Zeyd]: and وَجَدَتُ طَعْمَهُ, and رَائِحَتَهُ, and صَوْتَهُ, and خُشُونَتَهُ, [I found, or perceived, &c., its taste, and its odour, and its sound, and its roughness]. Also, The finding, &c., by means of the faculty of appetite, [or rather of sensation, which is the cause of appetite:] as when one says وَجَدْتُ الشِّبَعَ [I found, experienced, or became sensible of, satiety]. Also, The finding, &c., by the intellect, or by means of the intellect: of which kind is one's knowing God: and here it should be observed, that وجود attributed to God is simple knowledge: (Abu-l-Kásim El-Iṣbahánee, cited in the Basáïr:) وَجَدَ ٱللّٰهُ, wherever it occurs, means God knew. (Er-Rághib, Z, &c.) i. e., in the Ḳur-án. (TA.)

وَجَدَ [He found, in the sense of] he knew [by experience]. (A, TA, &c.) [In this sense, it is a verb of the kind called أَفْعَالُ القُلُوبِ; having two objective complements; the first of which is called its noun, and the second its predicate.] Ex. وَجَدْتُ زَيْدًا ذَا الحِفَاظِ I [found, or] knew Zeyd to possess the quality of defending those things which should be sacred, or inviolable. (A.) Used in this sense, as doubly trans., its inf. n. is وَجْدَانٌ (Akh) and وُجُودٌ. (Seer.) It is also used as singly trans., as syn. with عَلِمَ. (TA.)

When وَجَدَ signifies he found, or lighted on, a thing after it had gone away, its inf. n. is وِجْدَانٌ. (IḲṭṭ.)

وَجَدَ الضَّالَّةَ, (Ṣ, A, Mṣb,) aor. يَجِد (Mṣb) and يَجُدُ, (MF,) inf. n. وَجْدَانٌ (Ṣ, Mṣb) and لَمْ أَجِدْ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ بُدًّا (Mṣb) [He found the stray beast].

لَمْ أَجِدْ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ بُدًّا, for which one also says لَمْ اجدِ, I found no means of avoiding, or escaping, that. (Ḳz, TA.)

He strengthened him after weakness; like آجَدَهُ. (Ḳ.) [But see what immediately precedes.]

اوجدهُ, (inf. n. إِيجَادٌ, TA,) He (God) made it; meaning, created it; originated it; caused it to be or exist, or to come to pass; brought it into existence (Ṣ, L, Mṣb, Ḳ) from a state of nonexistence, (Mṣb,) not after the similitude of anything preëxisting. (TA.) وَجَدَهُ in this sense is not allowable. (Ṣ, L, Ḳ.)
