وصّى: وصّاه أو وصّى إلى فلان أو به في (محيط المحيط): (عهد إليه وفوّض إليه أمره). (القرآن 126:2 و 145:6. الخ. الميداني في الجريدة الآسيوية 5:1:1838، الكالا، بقطر): فوّض ب: أمر ب، فرض على، ألزم ب (أوصاء وأوصى بالرفق بفلان، أو بالعناية به: وصاه في دعوة حزج عليه أي شدد عليه بأمرها، وصيته عليك أو وصيته بحقك أو هو موصى فيه من فلان مكلف من فلان بمهمة ... وصاني أن أسلّم عليك وكذلك فلان بمهمة .. وصاني أن أسلم عليك وكذلك وصى أحداً على أن. وفي (القلائد 6:55): أن توضع في قبرها ووصى مَنْ ينظر في أمرها؛ وصى الحارس على أن ...
وكذلك الأمثلة التي وردت في (محيط المحيط: ومعجم (أبي الفداء) و (بقطر): (كلّف وأعطى الأمر بتنفيذ إحدى المهام): والمثال الذي ضربه (المقري 23:320:2): وجعل والده يوصيه عليه. (في بداية الأمر كنت قد ترجمت الكلمة بأوصى إلا أنها يحتمل أن تكون وصّى). وهناك أيضاً وصّى إن في (معجم أبي الفداء): ومات يعقوب وأوصى إلى يوسف أن يوقفه مع أبيه أسحق. وفي (دي ساسي كرست: 10:79:1): وأوصانا أن لا نخفيه على الفقراء.
وصّى: أمر، أعطى الأمر إلى العامل - وعلى سبيل المثال - وصّى الخياّط على بدلة أو الخياط يعمل بدلة.
وصّى: فوّض إلى، وكَّل ب (الكالا).
وصّى: كتب وصية، أوصى (بقطر): وصّى ل أو إلى فلان وبه أي ترك له، بوصية، شيئاً (بقطر، م. المحيط، معجم الماوردي، معجم التنبيه، عبّاد 9:44:1) بعد أن وصى بما خلف وكذلك أوصى لما خلّف أي تصرف بما يملك عن طريق الوصية. وفي (محيط المحيط): (وصّاه واليه بكذا توصية وأوصاه وإليه ايصاء عهد إليه وفوّض إليه أمره. وفلان لفلان بكذا ملكه إياه بعد موته). (معجم أبي الفداء، معجم التنبيه).
وصّى إلى ووصّى إلى أو لفلان أو ب، ل أو على الآخر، تشير إلى مَنْ اختاره الموصي لكي ينفذ الوصية على أمواله وأطفاله. وفي (محيط المحيط): (وصى فلان إلى فلان جعله وصياً يتصرف في ماله وأطفاله بعد موته واليه بماله جعله له، وبولده استعطفه عليه.). (فوك) معجم التنبيه (مملوك 110:2:2): وصى بعد ذلك كله عند وفاته إلى المأمون لأبنه). وكذلك وصاه على ابنه، أي كلفه أن يكون وصياً على أبنه، وأوصاه هنا هي بمعنى وصّاه وفقاً (لمحيط المحيط ومملوك 1:1 ومعجمي البيان والتنبيه، وفوك).
وصّى: أنّبَ، وبّخ corriger, sermoncer, sermoncer ( فوك) (الكالا). وكذلك المعنى في أوصى (فوك).
وصّى: أشار، أنذر، أخبر averter, indiquer, enseigner ( الكالا).
وصّى: أزال ضلاله desabuser, detromper ( الكالا).
أوصى: أنظر إلى المرادفات الأربعة لمعنى أوصى في وصّى. أوصى إلى فلان: (أخبار 108:7): أوصت البربر إلى بني ميمون إذ ملت الحصار والقتال إنّا سننهزم غداً بالناس إذا نشبت الحرب فليبق علينا. وفي (145:9): فأوص إليه لم يتقدم عندنا خيرة .. الخ. وفي (حيّان 60): وأوصى إلى هشام يقسم بالله لئن بدر من الولد والقائد إلى أخي شيء أكرهه لآخذن بثأري فيك (جاءت كلمة هشام في المخطوط، خطأً، بعد كلمة والقائد)؛ وهناك مثال لأوصى ب: (محمد بن الحارث232): فدخل العباس على الأمير الحكم وسأله أن يوصي إلى القاضي بالتخلي عن النظر وأن يكون الأمير الناظر بينه وبين خصمه؛ إن تعبير أوصاه إلى فلان بأن كلّفه بأن يقول كذا. وفيه فدعى الأمير بفتى له - وأوصاه إلى مصعب بن عمران بأن يتخلا عن النظر.
تواصى النبت: في (محيط المحيط): ( .. والأرض اتصل نباتها) (وربما قالوا تواصى النبت إذا اتصل).
استوصى: في (محيط المحيط): (واستوصى به خيراً استيصاء، أي قبل وصيته فيه وانتصاب (خيراً) على المصدر أي استيصاء خير). أما المثال الذي ورد في (كليلة ودمنة 8:198) فقد بنى خيراً مع الفعل على المجهول في (وأمر بالغراب أن يحمل إلى منازل البوم ويكرم ويستوصى به
خيراً).
وَصِيّ: (في محيط المحيط): (وصى فلان إلى فلان جعله وصياً يتصرف في ماله وأطفاله. بعد موته واليه بماله جعله له. وبولده استعطفه عليه). (مملوك 237:1:1 و 109:2:2) وعن الوصيّ tutcur انظر (فوك، الكالا). لذا حمل الأمام على لقب الوصي لأنه كان المنفذ لوصية الرسول (صلى الله عليه وسلم)؛ ويدعى كذلك خير الوصيين (مملوك 1:1). ويجب أن نتجنب ما ذهب إليه (دي ساسي) وأساء متابعته فيه (فريتاج) في أن يكون الوصيون الأئمة السبعة.
وصى: يتم قاصر Pupille ( مرسنج 16:22) لو صحت ترجمة الناشر في (32، رقم 102).
وصية والجمع وصايا: وهذا الجمع هو لمعانيها كافة مما يستدعي تصحيح ما جاء عند (فريتاج) (لذا ينبغي تصحيح ما ذكره في معجمه)؛ وتجمع على وصيات أيضاً عند (الكالا وفوك).
وصية: في (محيط المحيط): (اسم من الإيصاء وتستعمل مصدراً لأوصى). وفي معجم (أبي الفداء): وملك بعده أخوه بوصية من سابور له بالملك.
وصية: توصية (بقطر، الكالا) أمر يلتزم به حارس أو بواب (بقطر). ترتيب نسق، نظام ordre ( الجريدة الآسيوية 5:1:1838 دي ساسي كرست 188:2، محمد بن الحارث 232): فلما أدى الفتى الوصية (المقري 3:28:2): وأفعل معه ما تقتضيه وصيتي به، أي وفقها وكذلك وصية في حق كاتب العرض: حاشية a pastille، توصية في أسفل أو حاشية مذكرة (بقطر)؛ في (محيط المحيط): (وصايا الله تعالى ما ألزم به عباده وأوجبه عليهم أمراً كــأكرم أباك وأمك ونهيا كلا تقتل) (بقطر): وصايا الله العشر أو العشر وصايا: العشر كلمات (بقطر)؛ وقد ترجمها (نيرجما والكالا) إلى وصية؛ و (بقطر) حكم، تعلم، قاعدة Pre و epte؛ وإلى مهمة يكلف بها فلان لفعل الشيء الفلاني (بقطر).
وصية: أمر، عمل يكلف به فلان لأجل شخص آخر قصداً (بقطر).
وصية: في (محيط المحيط): (الوصية شرعاً تمليك مضاف إلى ما بعد الموت أي إيجاب شيء من مال أو منفعة لأحد بعد الموت. وعند المحدثين أن يوصي الراوي عند موته أو سفره لشخص معين بكتاب يرويه.).
