The student: Why was the term *wali* used along with *nasir*, when the *wali* is the *nasir*?
The Shaykh : No, the *wali* is the one who takes charge of affairs, but he may not be able to defend, whereas the *nasir* is able to defend. So they have no *wali* who brings about good, nor any *nasir* who repels evil.
