ود1 وَدَّهُ, first Pers\. وَدِدْتُ, (S, M, L, Msb, K, &c.) and وَدَدْتُ, (Ks, Z, K,) [but most disallow this] aor. ـَ inf. n. وُدٌّ and وِدٌّ and وَدٌّ, (S, M, L, K,) of which three forms the first is the most common, (MF,) and مَوَدَّةٌ, (S, M, L, K,) or this last is a simple subst., (Msb,) and مِوَدَّةٌ (CK and some MS. copies of the K) and مَوِدَّةٌ, (accord. to some other copies of the K, this and the next preceding deviating from the common forms of inf. ns., TA,) and مَوْدِدَةٌ (M, Kz, K) and مَوْدَدَةٌ, (TA,) but these last two are allowable only in poetry, and deviate from constant rule, the former doubly, (Kz, MF, TA,) and وِدَادٌ and وَدَادٌ and وُدَادٌ, (M, L, K,) the first of which last three forms is the most common, (MF,) and وَدَادَةٌ (M, L, K) and, accord. to some, وِدَادَةٌ and وُدَادَةٌ, (MF, TA,) and, as in a copy of the K esteemed of good authority, مَوْدُودَةٌ, (TA,) He loved, or affected, him, or it, (S, M, L, Msb, K,) i. e. any means of attaining or doing good. (Az, M, L.) The form وَدَدْتُ is disallowed by the Basrees who hold it to be erroneous: and Zj says, We know that Ks did not mention وَدَدْتُ without having heard it; but he heard it from him who was no authority. (T, L.) b2:  أَوْدِدْهُ, an imp. form [of ↓ أَوَدَّهُ], without idghám, accord. to the dial. of El-Hijáz, occurs in a trad., meaning Love thou it, or affect it. (L.) b3:  وَدِدْتُ لَوْ تَفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ. and وَدَدْتُ لَوْ أَنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ, (S, L,) aor.  as above, inf. n. وُدٌّ and وَدٌّ and وَدَادَةٌ (S, L, Msb) and وَدَادٌ (S, L) or وِدَادٌ, (T, in TT,) I wished that thou wouldest do that. (S, L.) b4:  وَدِدْتُ لَوْ كَانَ كَذَا I wished that it had been so. (Msb.) b5:  وَدِدْتُ الشَّىْءَ I  wished for the thing. Fr says, This is the more approved form; but some say وَدَدْتُ: in both cases the aor.  is يَوَدَّ only. (L.) [Respecting the latter form of the pret., see above.] This is a secondary signification of the verb. (TA.) 3 وادّهُ, inf. n. مُوَادَّةٌ and وِدَادٌ, He loved, or affected him, being loved, or affected, by him. (Msb.) 4 أَوْدَ3َ see 1.5 تودّدهُ He attracted to himself his love, or affection. (IAar, L, K.) b2:  تودّد إِلَيْهِ He manifested, or showed, love, or affection, to him. (L, Msb, K.) 6 هُمَا يَتَوَادَّانِ, (S, L,) inf. n. تَوَادٌّ, (K,) They  two love, or affect, each other.

(TA) and the second used alike as masc. and fem. (S, L, Msb.) b3:  Also, ↓ وُدٌّ and ↓ وُدُودٌ and ↓ مِوَدٌّ, (K,) also written ↓ مَوَدٌّ, (MF,) A man (TA) loving  much; having much love or affection; very  loving or affectionate. (K, MF.) b4: Pl. أَوْدَادٌ, (L, K,) pl. of وِدٌّ, (TA,) and also a pl. [of وُدٌّ] in the second of the above senses; (K;) and وَدَادٌ, [pl. of وَدٌّ or وَدِيدٌ] in the first of the above senses; (L;) and أَوُدٌّ, (S, L, K,) pl. of وُدٌّ (TA) in the second of the above senses; (K;) or of وِدٌّ; (S, TA;) and أَوْدٌّ, (L, K,) [an irreg. pl., or quasi-pl. n., upon which I find no remark,] in the first of the above senses, (L,) or the second; (K;) and وُدَّادٌ, pl. of وَادٌّ; (Kz;) and أَوِدَّآءُ, (S, L, K,) pl. of وَدِيدٌ (TA) in the first of the above senses, (L,) or in the second; (L;) and أَوِدَّةٌ, (K,) also pl. of وَدِيدٌ (TA) in the second of the above senses; (K;) and وُدَدَآءُ, pl. of وَدُودٌ (S) in the second of the above senses, (S, K,) [and the third]; and وَدِيدٌ is also mentioned as a pl. in the second of the above senses in the K; but this is probably a mistake for وِدَادٌ. (TA.) b5: IAth says, that ↓ وُدٌّ, used as an epithet, is for ذُو وُدٍّ; but وِدٌّ does not require ذو to be understood, being syn. with صَدِيقٌ. (L.) وَدٌّ: see 1, and وِدٌّ. b2:  وَدٌّ and ↓ وُدٌّ (the former is the more common, L) A certain idol (S, L, K) which pertained to the people of Noah, and then to Kelb, and was at Doomet-el-Jendel: (S, L:) or a certain good man, who lived between Adam and Noah, and of whom, after his death, was made an image, which, after a long time, became an object of worship; like سُوَاعٌ and يَغُوثُ and يَعُوقُ and نَسْرٌ, mentioned therewith in the Kur, lxxi. 22 and 23: (Bd:) and the former, a certain idol belonging to Kureysh, also called أُدٌّ. (L.) b3:  بِوَدِّكِ By thy Wedd! meaning the idol so named. (L.) A2:  وَدٌّ A wooden pin, peg, or stake; i. q. وَتِدٌ: (S, K:) of the dial. of Temeem; (IDrd;) or of Nejd: as though they made the ت quiescent and incorporated it into the د. (S.) وُدٌّ: see 1, and وِدٌّ, and وَدٌّ. b2:  بِوُدِّى أَنْ يَكُونَ كَذَا I wish that such a thing may be. In the following saying of the poet, أَيُّهَا العَائِدُ المُسَائِلُ عَنَّا وَبِوُدِّيكَ لَوْ ثَرَى أَكْفَانِى[O thou visitor of the sick, inquiring respecting us, wishing that thou mayest see my graveclothes], the kesreh of the د is lengthened for sake of the measure. (S, L.) وَدُودٌ: see وِدٌّ. b2:  الوَدُودُ, as an epithet applied to God, The loving towards his servants, (IAmb, L,) or, towards those who obey: (Beyd, lxxxv.14:) or He who regards with approbation his righteous servants: or He who is beloved in the hearts of his saints.
