The walker moves quickly, he moves quickly and he moves quickly, from the roots of 'daraba' and 'nasara', with 'naslan', with fatha, and 'naslan' and 'nasalan', with haraka in both: he hastened, and Al-Jawhari limited it to 'yansulu', with kasra, and from it is His saying, the Almighty: 'To their Lord they will hasten', Abu Ishaq said: meaning they emerge with speed.

وفي الحديث: أنهم شكوا إلى رسول الله صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلم الضعف فقال: عليكم بالنسل، قال ابن الأعرابي: وهو الإسراع في المشي، وفي حديث آخر: أنهم شكوا الإعياء، فقال: عليكم بالنسلان، وقيل: فأمرهم أن ينسلوا، أي يسرعوا في المشي.

And it was said: the origin of 'nasalan' is for the wolf, then it was used for others, and in Al-Asas: the wolf hastened: it moved swiftly, as it is said: 'insalla' in its run, which is exiting with speed, like the shedding of feathers, and this is metaphorical.
