The commentators side by side
فَصُّ حِكْمَةٍ إِلَهِيَّةٍ فِي كَلِمَةٍ آدَمِيَّةٍ

فَلَا يَزَالُ فِي حِجَابٍ لَا يُرْفَعُ مَعَ عِلْمِهِ بِأَنَّهُ مُتَمَيِّزٌ عَنْ مُوُجِدِهِ بِافْتِقَارِهْ وَلَكِنْ لَا حَظََّ لَهُ فِي الوُجُوبِ الذَّاتِيِّ الَّذِي لِوُجُودِ الحَقِّ فَلَا يُدْرِكُهُ أَبَدًا فَلَا يَزَالُ الحَقُّ مِنْ هَذِهِ الحَقِيقَةِ غَيْرَ مَعْلُومٍ عِلْمَ ذَوْقٍ وَشُهُودٍ لِأَنَّهُ لَا قَدَمَ لِلْحَادِثِ فِي ذَلِكَ
So it [the cosmos] never ceases to be in a veil that is not lifted, even though it knows that it is distinct from the One who brings it into existence by its need. But it has no share in the essential necessity that belongs to the existence of the Real, so it never perceives Him. Thus, from this standpoint, the Real never ceases to be unknown with a knowledge of tasting and witnessing, because the temporally originated has no footing in that.

Licence: Public domain (1873 print); our OCR collation is ours. Each comment links to its page in the HathiTrust scan.
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.
