أَلَا تَرَىٰ الذَّاتَ الخَارِجَةَ عَنْ هَذَا الحُكْمِ كَيْفَ جَاءَ فِيهَا الغِنَىٰ عَنْ العَٰلَمِينَ فَلِهَٰذَا خَرَجَ العَالَمُ عَلَىٰ صُوْرَةِ مَنْ أَوْجَدَهُمْ وَلَيْسَ إِلَّا النَّفَسُ الإِلَهِيُّ فَبِمَا فِيهِ مِنَ الحَرَارَةِ عَلَا وَبِمَا فِيهِ مِنَ البُرُودَةِ وَالرُّطُوبَةِ سَفُلَ وَبِمَا فِيهِ مِنَ اليُبُوسَةِ ثَبَتَ وَلَمْ يَتَزَلْزَلْ فَالرُّسُوبُ لِلْبُرُودَةِ وَالرُّطُوبَةِ أَلَا تَرَىٰ الطَّبِيبَ إِذَا أَرَادَ سَقَىٰ دَوَاءً لِأَحَدٍ يَنْظُرُ فِي قَارُورَةِ مَائِهِ فَإِذَا رَآهُ رَسَبَ عَلِمَ أَنَّ النَّضْجَ قَدْ كَمُلَ فَيَسْقِيهِ الدَّوَاءَ لِيُسْرِعَ فِي النُّجْحِ وَإِنَّمَا يَرْسُبُ لِرُطُوبَتِهِ وَبُرُودَتِهِ الطَّبِيعِيَّةِ

Do you not see how, concerning the Essence, which stands outside this ruling property, [the scripture] has come with [the statement of its] independence from the worlds [cf. Q 3:97; 29:6]? For this reason the cosmos came forth upon the form of the One who brought them into existence, and that is nothing but the divine Breath. Through the heat that is in it, it rose upward; through the coldness and moisture that are in it, it descended; and through the dryness that is in it, it stood firm and was not shaken. So settling (sedimentation) belongs to coldness and moisture. Do you not see the physician: when he wishes to give someone a medicine to drink, he looks into the flask of his urine (literally: his water). When he sees that it has settled, he knows that the ripening [of the humours] has been completed, so he gives him the medicine to drink, so that it may hasten toward a successful [cure]. And it settles only because of its natural moisture and coldness.

al-Jandī

﴿وبما فيه من اليبوسة ثبت ولم يتزلزل ، فالرسوب للبرودة والرطوبة ، ألا ترى الطبيب إذا أراد سقي دواء لأحد ، ينظر في قارورة مائه ، فإذا رآه رسب ، علم أنّ النضج قد حصل ، فيسقيه الدواء ليسرع في النجح ، وإنّما رسب لرطوبيته وبرودته الطبيعية ، ثمّ إنّ هذا الشخص الإنساني عجن طينته بيديه وهما متقابلتان وإن كانت كلتا يديه يمينا ، فلا خفاء بما بينهما من الفرقان ، ولو لم يكن إلَّا كونهما اثنتين أعني اليدين ، لأنّه لا يؤثّر في الطبيعة إلَّا ما يناسبها ، وهي متقابلة فجاء باليدين﴾

يشير رضي الله عنه : في كلّ ذلك إلى أنّ التقابل في الأمر الواحد من جهتين مختلفتين موجود ومشهود ، وأنّ الطبيعة التي لها التضادّ والتقابل عامّة الحكم في الصور الأسمائية والكونية ، ولولا أنّ في حقيقة الحق قبول كلّ ذلك ، لما وجدت هذه المتقابلات منها . ولأنّ في طبيعة البشر جمعا بين المتقابلات توجّه الحق في إيجاده باليدين المتقابلتين ، وهما الفعل والانفعال اللذين في حقيقتي الربّ والمربوب ، والإله والمألوه في الذات ، أو الجلال والجمال ، واللطف والقهر في الإلهيات ، وكل ذلك مشير إلى التقابل في الأصل ، فافهم . قال رضي الله عنه

two Hands, and they face one another, even though both His Hands are 'right,' yet there is no hiding the distinction between them. Even if there were nothing [to indicate duality] except that they are two - I mean the two Hands - for nothing affects nature except what corresponds to it, and nature is composed of opposites, so He brought [him into being] with the two Hands] - he, may God be pleased with him, indicates in all of this that opposition (taqābul) within a single thing from two different aspects exists and is witnessed, and that the nature which possesses contrariety and opposition has universal application in the Namely-forms and the cosmic forms. Had there not been, in the reality of the Real, acceptance of all this, these opposites would not have been found from Him. And because in human nature there is a combining of opposites, the Real directed His bringing [man] into existence by the two opposing Hands, which are action and reception (al-fiʿl wa-l-infiʿāl) found in the two realities of the Lord and the lorded-over, the Divinity and the one-made-divine, within the Essence; or Majesty and Beauty, Gentleness and Severity in the divine matters - all of this pointing to opposition in the very origin. So understand. He, may God be pleased with him, said

Jāmī

﴿ألا ترى الذات الخارجة عن هذا الحكم كيف جاء فيها الغنى عن العالمين؟. فلهذا أخرج العالم على صورة من أوجدهم، وليس إلا النفس الإلهي. فبما فيه من الحرارة علا، وبما فيه من البرودة والرطوبة سفل، وبما فيه من اليبوسة ثبت ولم يتزلزل. فالرسوب للبرودة والرطوبة. ألا ترى الطبيب إذا أراد سقي دواء لأحد ينظر في قارورة مائه، فإذا رآه راسا علم أن النضج قد كمل فيسقيه الدواء ليسرع في النجح. ثم إن هذا الشخص الإنساني عجن طينته بيديه وهما متقابلتان و إن كانت كلتا يديه يمينا فلا خفاء بما بينهما من الفرقان، و لو لم يكن إلا كونهما اثنين أعني يدين﴾

لا الذات من حيث نوره وأوضحه بقوله

two hands, which are mutually opposed; and even though both His hands are a "right hand," there is no hiding the distinction between them—I mean merely their being two, i.e., two hands—] not the Essence in respect of its light; and he clarified this by his saying:

There is no doubt that at the level of annihilation—which is the station of essential Oneness (al-aḥadiyya al-dhātiyya)—the Names are not in opposition, since they are not then determined, let alone in opposition to one another. (For this reason), i.e., the annihilation of the Essence from the two worlds —

ولم يجئ في حق الذات الداخلة في حكم التقابل الغني عن العالمين . قال الشيخ رضي الله عنه : ( فلهذا ) أي فلأجل كون التقابل حاصلا في الحضرة الاسمائية

— whereas this independence from the worlds was not applied to the Essence insofar as it enters under the governance of mutual opposition. The Shaykh, may God be pleased with him, said: (for this reason) — i.e., because mutual opposition occurs within the Presence of the Names

Ibn Turka

﴿خرج العالم على صورة من أوجدهم﴾

فإنّها مستغنية عن نسبة الإيجاد ( وليس ) الموجد

For it (the Essence) is independent of the relation of bringing-into-existence; and the Bringer-into-existence is none other...

Jāmī

﴿خرج العالم على صورة من أوجدهم﴾

أورد ضمير ذوي العلم تغليبا أو بناء على أن الكل ذو العلم في نظر أهل الكشف . ( وليس ) الموجد

He used the pronoun proper to possessors of knowledge/intellect, either by way of predominance (taghlīb), or on the basis that everything is a possessor of knowledge in the view of the people of unveiling. (And there is) none that gives existence

Bālī Zāde

﴿خرج العالم على صورة من أوجدهم﴾

أي العالم ( وليس ) من أوجدهم إل

i.e., the cosmos, (and there is none) who brought it into being except

al-Qāshānī

﴿إلا النفس الإلهي﴾

والضمير المنصوب في أوجدهم للعالم باعتبار أعيانه على التغليب

The accusative pronoun in 'brought them into existence' (awjadahum) refers to 'the world,' with respect to its entities, by way of predominance [treating the plural as referring to persons].

Ibn Turka

﴿إلا النفس الإلهي﴾

فعلم من هذا الفرق بين نفس الحقّ المتّصفة بالنفس وبين ذاته . وكأنّك قد نبّهت في المقدّمة أنّ من الجلالة ما يلوّح عليهما تلويحا بيّنا فلا نعيده . وليس في الوجود بمراتبه ظاهرا وباطنا إلا النفس الإلهي

From this the difference is known between the Breath of the Real, characterized by the soul (nafs), and His Essence. And you have been alerted, as it were, in the Introduction that certain divine names clearly indicate both of these, so we need not repeat it. There is nothing in existence, in its degrees—manifest and nonmanifest—except the Divine Breath (al-nafas al-ilāhī).

Jāmī

﴿إلا النفس الإلهي﴾

لأن الذات البحت لها الفناء عن نسبة الإيجاد ، وليس إيجاد النفس الإلهي للأشياء إلا ظهوره بصورها فليس في الوجود مراتبه ظاهرا وباطنا إلا النفس الإلهي

For the pure Essence has annihilation from the relation of giving existence, and the giving-existence of the Divine Breath to things is nothing but its own manifestation in their forms; so in existence, in all its levels—manifest and nonmanifest—there is nothing but the Divine Breath

Bālī Zāde

﴿النفس الإلهي﴾

فخرج العالم يتقابل بعضها بعضا فالطبيعة والعالم والنفس الإلهي يقتضي كل واحد منها التقابل ( فبما ) أي فبسبب الذي ( فيه ) أي حاصل في النفس الإلهي

So the cosmos emerged with some of its parts mutually opposed to others; thus Nature, the cosmos, and the Divine Breath each necessitate mutual opposition. (So by that), i.e., by virtue of what, (is in it), i.e., exists in the Divine Breath

﴿من الحرارة﴾

بيان لما ( علا ) ما ( علا من العالم كالنار والهوى وبما فيه من البرودة والرطوبة سفل ) من العالم ما سفل كالتراب والماء فتقابل من العالم بعضا بالعلو والسفل لتقابل طبيعتها بالحرارة والبرودة فخرج العالم على صورة النفس الإلهي من التقابل . قال الشيخ رضي الله عنه

— an explanation of what (rose high); whatever rose high in the cosmos, such as fire and air, and by virtue of what is in it of coldness and moisture, (sank low) whatever in the cosmos sank low, such as earth and water. So part of the cosmos became opposed to another part by height and lowness, due to the mutual opposition of their natures by heat and cold. Thus the cosmos emerged in the form of the Divine Breath as regards mutual opposition. The Shaykh, may God be pleased with him, said

al-Qāshānī

﴿وبما فيه من الرطوبة والبرودة سفل﴾

في الصورة الكائنة من آخر العالم قال الشيخ رضي الله عنه

In the form that came to be from the furthest part of the world. The Shaykh, may God be pleased with him, said:

﴿وبما فيه من اليبوسة ثبت ولم يتزلزل فالرسوب للبرودة والرطوبة ألا ترى الطبيب إذا أراد سقى دواء لأحد ينظر في قارورة مائه ، فإذا رآه رسب علم أن النضج قد كمل فيسقيه الدواء ليسرع في النجح ، وإنما يرسب لرطوبته وبرودته الطبيعية﴾

النضج عند الأطباء تهيؤ المادة للاندفاع ، ولا يسهل الاندفاع إلا بالسيلان الذي هو بالرطوبة ، والتسفل والنزول الذي هو بالبرودة ، فإذا رسب في القارورة علم أن الخلط سهل الاندفاع . ولهذا قالت الأطباء : إن القوة الدافعة لا يتمكن على فعلها إلا بمعونة البرودة ، والمقصود أن النفس الذي هو الوجود الواحد يقتضي التقابل بما يستلزمه من الجهتين المختلفتين في الأمر الواحد ، وهو الطبيعة المقتضية للأمور المتضادة . قال الشيخ رضي الله عنه

fluid, and if he sees it settle [into sediment], he knows that ripening/maturation (al-nuḍj) has become complete, so he gives him the medicine to hasten its efficacy? It settles only because of its natural moisture and coldness.] Ripening (al-nuḍj), according to physicians, is the readiness of the matter for expulsion; and expulsion is not facilitated except by flowing, which is through moisture, and by descending and sinking, which is through coldness. So if it settles [as sediment] in the vial, one knows that the humor is readily expelled. For this reason the physicians said: the expulsive faculty (al-quwwa al-dāfiʿa) cannot carry out its action except with the aid of coldness. The point is that the Breath, which is the one existence, necessitates mutual opposition through what it entails from the two different directions within the one single matter - namely Nature, which necessitates mutually contrary things. The Shaykh, may God be pleased with him, said:

Bālī Zāde

﴿وبما فيه من اليبوسة ثبت ولم يتزلزل فالرسوب للبرودة والرطوبة ألا ترى الطبيب إذا أراد سقى دواء لأحد ينظر في قارورة مائه ، فإذا رآه رسب علم أن النضج قد كمل فيسقيه الدواء ليسرع في النجح ، وإنما يرسب لرطوبته وبرودته الطبيعية﴾

( فيما فيه ) أي في النفس الإلهي ( من الحرارة على ) ما علا من العالم كالنار والهواء ( وبما فيه من البرودة والرطوبة سفل ) من العالم ما سفل كالتراب والماء فتقابل بعض العالم بعضا بالعلو والسفل لتقابل الطبيعة ، فخرج العالم على صورة النفس الإلهي من التقابل اهـ بالى . فظهر أن الرسوب الرطوبة والبرودة ، والإسراع للدواء ، فاختلف العالم بالكيفيات المختلفة في الطبيعة من كل الوجوه فافهم

(by virtue of what is in it), i.e., in the Divine Breath, (of heat, what rose high) of the cosmos rose high, such as fire and air, (and by virtue of what is in it of coldness and moisture, what sank low) of the cosmos sank low, such as earth and water. So part of the cosmos became opposed to another part by height and lowness, due to the opposition of Nature; thus the cosmos emerged in the form of the Divine Breath — end of citation from Bālī [al-Mawlā]. Thus it becomes clear that settling belongs to moisture and coldness, and hastening belongs to the medicine; so the cosmos varies by the differing qualities within Nature in every respect — understand this

أي قارورة مائية ذكر الضمير لاستواء التذكير والتأنيث في قارورة أو باعتبار تعلقه لأحد ( رسبا علم ) الطبيب

i.e., the vial of his water — the pronoun is made masculine because of the equivalence of masculine and feminine in "vial," or in consideration of its connection to "someone," (settle, the physician knows)

Ibn Turka

﴿ألا ترى الطبيب إذا أراد سقى دواء لأحد ينظر في قارورة مائه ، فإذا رآه رسب علم أنّ النضج﴾

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.
