ـِ Verbal.Noun فَقْدٌ and فِقْدَانٌ and فُقْدَانٌ and فُقُودٌ; and
; He found it not, lost it, saw it not, [missed, or failed of finding or seeing, it,] it was, or became, absent from him, or he had it not, was destitute of it, was without it, lacked it, or wanted it, syn. عَدِمَهُ; but accord. to Er-Rághib, الفَقْدُ has a more special signification than العَدَمُ, this latter being the contr. of الوُجُودُ; [whereas] الفَقْدُ [as Verbal.Noun of فُقِدَ, though often used as meaning the being non-existent, properly] signifies the thing's being absent from the range of perception by sense so that its place is not known. [فُقِدَ signifies It was not found, was lost, was not seen, &c.] It is related of Abu-dDardà that he said, مَنْ يَفْقِدْ, [lit. He who seeks will not find,] meaning he who seeks after good in mankind will not find it; for he saw good to be rare in mankind: or he who seeks to acquaint himself with the circumstances of men will not find what will please him.
