ورث: الْوَارِثُ: صِفَةٌ مِنْ صِفَاتِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَهُوَ الْبَاقِي الدَّائِمُ الَّذِي يَرِثُ الخلائقَ، وَيَبْقَى بَعْدَ فِنَائِهِمْ، وَاللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، يَرِثُ الأَرض ومَن عَلَيْهَا، وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْوَارِثِينَ أَي يَبْقَى بَعْدَ فَنَاءِ الْكُلِّ، ويَفْنى مَن سِوَاهُ فَيَرْجِعُ مَا كَانَ مِلْكَ العِباد إِليه وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ.
