1764: 10046. Walijah (intimate friend/confidant): 1: Al-Qurtubi said regarding the Almighty's saying 'Walijah': It is an intimate confidant and someone who enters into one's affairs, derived from al-wuluj, which is entering. From this, the kennel into which wild animals enter is called a tawlaj. 'Walaja, yaliju, wulujan' is used when someone enters. The meaning is: an intimate affection [kept] apart from Allah and His Messenger.
Abu 'Ubaydah said: Everything you insert into something that is not of its nature is a walijah, and a man may be among a people while not being one of them, so he is a walijah.
