If you find your heart softer, your tongue more truthful, and your hand more just, that is its fruit.
وَجَدْتَ you find
Past 'you found', with '-ta' marking 'you'. In the condition it reads 'if you find'; here 'find X to be Y', so it expects an object plus a description.
فقاسوا فوجدوه أدنى إلى الأرض التي أراد،
They measured and found he was closer to the land he intended.
فَوَجَدُوهُ and found he
This is 'so' plus 'found' ('-u' = 'they', '-hu' = 'him') — 'so they found him...'. This verb of finding takes a second word saying what they found him to be. Verb, subject, and object all ride in one form.
فإذا وجدوا قومًا يذكرون الله عز وجل،
When they find a group remembering Allah, the Glorious and Majestic,
وَجَدُوا they find
A past verb 'found' with '-u' = 'they'; in the 'when' frame it reads as a present 'they find'. Its object follows. The subject is sealed in the verb.

A bare past verb with 'he' built in, the main action after the 'when' clause.

We found the scholars, may Allah have mercy on them, differed regarding them. It was said they are seven, citing the Prophet's saying: 'Avoid the seven destructive sins'.
وَجَدْنَا we found
A past-tense verb with a built-in 'we' subject, shown by its ending, 'we found'. No separate pronoun is needed; the plural speaker is carried in the verb's shape.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَدَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ خِفَّةً فَخَرَجَ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ
Then the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, felt a lightness within his self, so he went out between two men.
وَجَدَ he felt
A completed past verb, 'he felt/found', with 'he' inside; it resumes the main statement after the inserted blessing, taking the emphasized Prophet as its doer.
فَدَخَلَ فَوَجَدَ الْقِفََّ قَدْ مُلِئَ،
Then he entered and found that the basket had been filled.
فَوَجَدَ so he found
Again fa- opens the verb, linking the discovery directly onto the entering as the immediate next move. The 'he' doer is built into the verb itself.
فنأى بى طلب الشجر يوماً فلم أرح عليهما حتى ناما فحلبت لهما غبوقهما فوجدتهما نائمين فكرهت أن أوقظهما وأن أغبق قبلهما أهلاً أو مالاً،

فَوَجَدْتُهُمَا so I found them two
This stacks the connector fa- onto a past-tense verb plus the dual object -huma, 'so I found them two'. The fa- carries the story forward to his discovery, while the dual suffix marks the two parents as what he found.
