قَالَ الصدّيق وَقد اشْتَدَّ بِهِ القلق
The Truthful One, overwhelmed with anxiety, said.
وَقَدِ and indeed
'And' plus the particle 'qad' stressing a completed state, here opening a circumstantial clause — 'while indeed…'. The 'wa-' plus 'qad' marks a state attending the saying; its vowel shifts to '-i' before the next word.
فَدَخَلُوا بلد الْوَصْل وَقد حَاز ربح الْأَبَد
They entered the land of connection and gained the profit of eternity.
وَقَدْ and indeed
'And' plus 'qad', opening a circumstantial clause — 'having already'. The 'wa-qad' marks an accompanying accomplished fact.
قال بخير والحمد لله، وقد اشتريت دارًا بعشرة آلاف درهم
He said: I am well, praise be to Allah, and I have bought a house for ten thousand dirhams.
وَقَدِ and indeed
The connector 'and' fused to a certainty-particle, 'and indeed already', that stresses a past action is firmly accomplished. Placed before a past verb, it sharpens 'I have indeed done' versus a plain 'I did'.
وعلى عمر مخرج الرسول من دار الخيزران وقد طال ما خبي،
And upon Umar, who led the Prophet out from the house of Al-Khazeran, and indeed what was hidden lasted long.
وَقَدْ and indeed
This is wa- joined to a particle that marks the following past-tense verb as firmly completed and emphasized, like 'and indeed'. Its job is to assure the reader the state really came to pass, certifying the verb rather than just stating it.
وَهَذَا يتَعَلَّق بِهِ أُمُور جليلة قد بسطناها وشرحناها فِي غير هَذَا الْموضع
And concerning this, there are significant matters that we have expanded upon and explained elsewhere.
قَدْ that
This particle placed before a past-tense verb confirms and stresses that the action really happened, the sense of 'has indeed' or 'already'. It is not a relative word; its job is to certify the completion of the verb that follows.
وقد روى الطَّبَرَانِيّ فِي كتاب الدُّعَاء عَن النَّبِي قَالَ
And Al-Tabarani narrated in the Book of Supplication from the Prophet who said
وَقَدْ and indeed
This word joins the 'and' connector to the particle that stresses a past action really took place, the sense of 'and indeed'. Placed before a past-tense verb, it certifies the narration as established fact.
وَأما الْحزن فَلم يَأْمر الله بِهِ وَلَا رَسُوله بل قد نهى عَنهُ فِي مَوَاضِع
As for sadness, God did not command it, nor did His Messenger; rather, it has been prohibited in certain places.
قَدْ indeed
A particle, often 'indeed/already', that sits before a past verb to confirm the action really happened. Here it strengthens the contrast set up by 'rather', vouching that a prohibition did occur.
