الولاء والتوالي: أن يحصل شيئان فصاعدا حصولا ليس بينهما ما ليس منهما، ويستعار ذلك للقرب من حيث المكان، ومن حيث النسبة، ومن حيث الدين، ومن حيث الصداقة والنصرة والاعتقاد، والولاية النصرة ، والولاية: تولي الأمر، وقيل: الولاية والولاية نحو: الدلالة والدلالة، وحقيقته: تولي الأمر. والولي والمولى يستعملان في ذلك كل واحد منهما…
الواو واللام والياء: أصل صحيح يدل على قرب. من ذلك الولي: القرب. يقال: تباعد بعد ولي، أي قرب. وجلس مما يليني، أي يقاربني. والولي: المطر يجيء بعد الوسمي، سمي بذلك لأنه يلي الوسمي.
