The idea

When you stop on a word whose second-to-last letter is a long vowel, that vowel stretches — two, four or six counts, your choice, kept consistent. This madd exists only because you stopped; in continuation it is just a natural madd.

Madd ʿāriḍ

مَدّ عَارِض لِلسُّكُون
The rule
A madd letter before the last letter of a word you stop on — 2, 4 or 6 counts.
How it sounds
Stretched when you stop on the word (your choice of length — kept consistent).
How often
0 occurrences across the Ḥafṣ ʿan ʿĀṣim text of the Qurʾān — mechanically derived from the Uthmani marks, not hand-counted.

Rule spans are computed from the Uthmani combining marks on the quran-uthmani text (Tanzil.net) in the recitation of Ḥafṣ ʿan ʿĀṣim. Where to stop (waqf) is interpretive and is taught, never auto-asserted. How we count →
