Full Definition
وَارِثٌ
An heir: pl. وُرَّاث and وَرَثَةٌ.
2 It is said in a prayer أَللّٰهُمَّ أَمْتِعْنِى بِسَمْعِى وَبَصَرِى وَٱجْعَلْهُ الوَارِثَ منِّى [O God, cause me to enjoy my hearing and my sight, and make it survive me: or,] make it to continue with me until I die. Or, accord. to another relation, which substitutes وَٱجْعَلْهُمَا for واجعله, make them both to continue with me, sound, until I die. Or, as some say, what is meant is the continuance and strength of those two faculties in old age, so that they may survive all the other powers: so says ISh. Some say, that by سَمْع is meant the remembering of what is heard, and the acting according thereto; and by بَصَر, the being admonished by what is seen, and the light of the heart, whereby one escapes from perplexity and darkness to the right course.
3 الوَارِثُ He who remains after the creatures have perished. He remains after everything beside Him has perished; and thus, what was the property of mankind, his servants, returns to Him.
