Example sentence
اذا كان الذين قد انتدبوا للرد على الفلاسفة قد حاروا ولحقتهم كسفة،
If those who set out to refute the philosophers were confused and affected by gloom,
وَلَحِقَتْهُمْ and affected them
The verb 'overtook / befell' wears a feminine ending here because its doer, the 'gloom' coming next, is a feminine noun — the verb agrees back with it even though that subject arrives afterward. The attached '-hum' is the object, 'them', the people overtaken.

ثُمَّ لَحِقَ الْنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ بِغَارٍ
Then the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and Abu Bakr took shelter in a cave.
لَحِقَ took shelter in
A past verb with 'he' inside it, opening the new stage; here it means took to / reached (a refuge). Arabic sets it before its compound subject, so it stands complete before 'the Prophet ... and Abu Bakr' are named, the two together being who took shelter.
