Grammar Rules

Conjunction وَ (and)
۞ وَلَقَدْ (And verily) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Emphatic لَ (indeed)
۞ وَلَقَدْ (And verily) starts with لَ for emphasis — it's like saying "indeed!" or "certainly!".
We add "indeed" or "certainly" to show the emphasis.

Sahih International
