وَمَعْلُومٌ أَنَّ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ الكُلِّيَّةَ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مَعْقُولَةً فَإِنَّهَا مَعْدُومَةُ العَيْنِ مَوْجُودَةُ الحُكْمِ كَمَا هِيَ مَحْكُومٌ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا نُسِبَتْ إِلَى المَوْجُودِ العَيْنِيِّ فَتَقْبَلُ الحُكْمَ فِي الأَعْيَانِ المَوْجُودَةِ وَلَا تَقْبَلُ التَّفَصِيلَ وَلَا التَّجَزِّي فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مُحَالٌ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنَّهَا بِذَاتِهَا فِي كُلِّ مَوْصُوفٍ بِهَا كَالإِنْسَانِيَّةِ فِي كُلِّ شَخْصٍ شَخْصٌ مِنْ هَذَا النَّوْعِ الخَاصِّ لَمْ تَتَفَصَّلْ وَلَمْ تَتَعَدَّدْ بِتَعَدُّدِ الأَشْخَاصِ وَلَا بَرِحَتْ مَعْقُولَةً
And it is known that these universal matters, even though they are intelligible, are nonexistent in entity [yet] existent in ruling property, just as they are ruled over when they are related to the concrete existent. So they receive the ruling property in the existent entities, yet they do not receive differentiation or division, for that is impossible for them. For they are, by their very selves, in each thing described by them, like humanness in each and every individual of this particular species: it has not been differentiated, nor has it become multiple through the multiplicity of individuals, and it has never ceased to be intelligible.

The ibnalarabi.com texts sometimes print other hands inside a commentary: Bālī Zāde's glosses inside al-Qāshānī («إضافة بالي زادة»), and notes by the modern editor (al-muḥaqqiq) or compiler (al-jāmiʿ). We cut these out of the commentator's own text and show them as separate entries, each labelled with its author and the line of the file it came from.
Arabic of the commentaries from the OpenITI digital texts (each comment links to its line); Bosnevî's Ottoman Turkish from our collation of two OCRs of the 1873 Istanbul print (each comment links to its page scan at HathiTrust); passages matched to the commentators' quotations automatically.English translations of the commentaries and of the passage are AI (Claude) and marked. Differences are computed by comparing the words each commentator quotes with our working text; they may reflect a different manuscript reading, a paraphrase, or an alignment error. About this text.
