قَدْ وَصَلَ الْمُسَافِرُ
The traveler has indeed arrived.
With a past-tense verb, qad can highlight that an event has actually occurred. This is its verifying, and potentially emphatic, function.
Not every use of qad necessarily carries the same force. With an imperfect verb it may, depending on context, convey other nuances such as infrequency or frequency. Its place in the list of emphatic devices concerns particularly its verifying use.
