الدعاء كالنداء، إلا أن النداء قد يقال بيا، أو أيا، ونحو ذلك من غير أن يضم إليه الاسم، والدعاء لا يكاد يقال إلا إذا كان معه الاسم، نحو: يا فلان، وقد يستعمل كل واحد منهما موضع الآخر. قال تعالى: كمثل الذي ينعق بما لا يسمع إلا دعاء ونداء [البقرة/ 171] ، ويستعمل استعمال التسمية، نحو: دعوت ابني زيدا، أي: سميته، قال تعالى:…
قوله تعالى: ﴿دعوا الله﴾ [يونس: 22]، أي استغاثوا به. قيل: والدعاء كالنداء إلا أن النداء قد يقال إذا قيل: "يا" و "أيا"، وإن لم يضم معه اسم. والدعاء لا يكاد يقال إلا ومعه اسم المدعو نحو: يا فلان. وقد يقع كل منهما موقع الآخر، ويستعمل استعمال التسمية فيتعدى تعديتها لاثنين إلى ثانيها بجزء الجزء. قال الشاعر: [من الطويل]
