السرى: سير الليل، يقال: سرى وأسرى.
قوله تعالى: ﴿سبحان الذي أسرى بعبده ليلا﴾ [الإسراء: 1]. يقال: سرى وأسرى لغتان قرئتا: ﴿فأسر بأهلك﴾ [هود: 81] و ﴿فأسر بأهلك﴾ بقطع الهمزة وبوصلها. وبهذا يرد قول من قال: إن سرى ليلا وأسرى نهارا، ولذلك قال: ليلا مع أسرى. وقيل: إن أسرى ليس من لفظ سرى، وإنما هو من لفظ السراة، وهي الأرض الواسعة ومنه قول الآخر: [من البسيط]
