فَلَمَّا وُلِّيَ الْوِزَارَةُ ابْنُ الْقَصَّابِ
When Ibn al-Qassab was appointed to the ministry.
وَلَيَّ was appointed
A passive past verb 'was appointed / put in charge' — the man receives the appointing; an unnamed authority does it. Arabic marks the passive by internal vowel changes rather than a helper word, so the form sits close to its active twin but flips the roles.
