The commentators side by side
فَصُّ حِكْمَةٍ نَبَوِيَّةٍ فِي كَلِمَةٍ عِيسَوِيَّةٍ

فَإِذَا تَعَلَّقَ المَجْرُورُ بِـ بِتَنَفُّخٍ فَيَكُونُ النَّافِخُ مَأْذُونًا لَهُ فِي النَّفْخِ وَيَكُونُ الطَّائِرُ عَنِ النَّافِخِ بِإِذْنِ اللهِ وَإِذَا كَانَ النَّافِخُ نَافِخًا لَا عَنْ الإِذْنِ فَيَكُونُ التَّكْوِينُ لِلطَّائِرِ طَائِرًا بِإِذْنِ اللهِ فَيَكُونُ العَامِلُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يَكُونُ فَلَوْلَا أَنَّ فِي الأَمْرِ تَوَهُّمًا أَوْ تَحَقُّقًا مَا قَبِلَتْ هَذِهِ الصُّورَةُ هَذَيْنِ الوَجْهَيْنِ بَلْ لَهَا هَذَانِ الوَجْهَانِ لِأَنَّ النَّشْأَةَ العِيسَوِيَّةَ تُعْطِي ذَلِكَ وَخَرَجَ عِيسَىٰ مِنَ التَّوَاضُعِ إِلَىٰ أَنْ شَرَّعَ لِأُمَّتِهِ أَنْ يُعْطُوا۟ ٱلْجِزْيَةَ عَن يَدٍ وَهُمْ صَـٰغِرُونَ وَأَنْ أَحَدَهُمْ إِذَا لُطِمَ فِي خَدِّهِ وَضَعَ الخَدَّ الآخَرَ لِمَنْ لَطَمَهُ وَلَا يَرْتَفِعُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَا يَطْلُبُ القِصَاصَ مِنْهُ
So if the prepositional phrase is attached to 'you breathe' [tanfukhu], then the breather is one granted permission to breathe, and the bird comes to be from the breather by God's permission. But if the breather is breathing not by permission, then the engendering of the bird as a bird is by God's permission, and in that case the governing word is 'it becomes' [yakūnu] (Q 3:49). Were it not that there is, in this matter, either imagining (by supposition) or realization, this form would not have admitted these two aspects. Rather, it has these two aspects because the Jesus-configuration [al-nashʾa al-ʿīsawiyya] grants that. And Jesus went so far in humility that he legislated for his community that they 'pay the jizya out of hand, being humbled' (Q 9:29), and that if one of them is slapped on his cheek, he should offer the other cheek to the one who slapped him, and not raise himself against him, nor seek retaliation from him.

فَإِذَا تَعَلَّقَ المَجْرُورُ بِـ بِتَنَفُّخٍ فَيَكُونُ النَّافِخُ مَأْذُونًا لَهُ فِي النَّفْخِ وَيَكُونُ الطَّائِرُ عَنِ …Ibn Turka

Missing here: Dāwūd al-Qayṣarī: no text for chapters 15–27. The OpenITI barzakh file (and the ibnalarabi.com pages it was copied from) repeats chapter 14 in their place; a usable copy of the print has not yet been found.
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.
