ثُمَّ نَقُولُ فِي الحَقِّ تَعَالَى أّنَّ لَهُ عِلْمًا وَحَيَاةً فَهُوَ الحَيُّ العَالِمُ وَنَقُولُ فِي المَلَكِ أَنَّ لَهُ حَيَاةً وَعِلْمًا فَهُوَ الحَيُّ العَالِمُ وَنَقُولُ فِي الِإنْسَانِ أَنَّ لَهُ حَيَاةً وَعِلْمًا فَهُوَ الحَيُّ العَالِمُ وَحَقِيقَةُ العِلْمِ وَاحِدَةٌ وَحَقِيقَةُ الحَيَاةِ وَاحِدَةٌ وَنِسْبَتُهَا إِلَى العَالِمِ وَالحَيِّ نِسْبَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ وَنَقُولُ فِي عِلْمِ الحَقِّ أَنَّهُ قَدِيمٌ وَفِي عِلْمِ الإِنْسَانِ أَنَّهُ مُحْدَثٌ فَانْظُرْ مَا أَحْدَثَتْهُ الإِضَافَةُ مِنْ الحُكْمِ فِي هَذِهِ الحَقِيقَةِ المَعْقُولَةِ وَانْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا الارْتِبَاطِ بَيْنَ المَعْقُولَاتِ وَالمَوْجُودَاتِ العَيْنِيَّةِ فَكَمَا حَكَمَ العِلْمُ عَلَى مَنْ قَامَ بِهِ أَنْ يُقَالُ فِيهِ عَالِمٌ حَكَمَ المَوْصُوفُ بِهِ عَلَى العِلْمِ بِأَنَّهُ حَادِثٌ فِي حَقِّ الحَادِثِ قَدِيمٌ فِي حَقِّ القَدِيمِ فَصَارَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَحْكُومًا بِهِ مَحْكُومًا عَلَيْهِ
Then we say of the Real—exalted is He—that He has knowledge and life, so He is the Living, the Knowing. And we say of the angel that he has life and knowledge, so he is the living, the knowing. And we say of the human being that he has life and knowledge, so he is the living, the knowing. Yet the reality of knowledge is one, and the reality of life is one, and its relation to the knower and to the living is a single relation. And we say of the knowledge of the Real that it is eternal, and of the knowledge of the human being that it is newly originated. So consider what the attribution has originated by way of judgment in this intelligible reality, and consider this interconnection between the intelligibles and the concrete existents. For just as knowledge judges the one in whom it subsists, [requiring] that he be called 'knowing,' so the one described by it judges knowledge [requiring] that it be temporally originated in the case of the temporally originated and eternal in the case of the Eternal. Thus each of the two has come to be both that by which judgment is made and that upon which judgment is made.
ʿAbdallāh al-Bosnawī (Abdullah Bosnevî, d. 1054/1644)

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.
