What Lane calls the noun and predicate is here called the topic and comment. | When wajada is used in this ditransitive way, it is being used as a “verb of the heart” (that is what أفْعَالُ القُلُوبِ means in the quote), and the predicate must fit the reality, as shown on [http://www.learnarabiconline.com LearnArabicOnline], which is quoted below (wajada is the 2<sup>nd</sup> verb from the bottom).
