وإنْ كانَ خاتَمُ الأَوْلِياءِ تابِعًا في الحُكْمِ لِما جَاءَهُ بهِ خاتَمُ الرُّسُلِ مِنَ التَّشْرِيعِ فَذلكَ لا يَقْدَحُ في مَقامِهِ ولا يُناقِضُ ما ذَهَبْنا إِلَيْهِ فإنَّهُ مِنْ وَجْهٍ يَكونُ أَنْزَلَ كما أنَّهُ مِنْ وَجْهٍ يَكونُ أَعْلى وقدْ ظَهَرَ في ظاهِرِ شَرْعِنا ما يُؤَيِّدُ ما ذَهَبْنا إِلَيْهِ في فَضْلِ عُمَرَ في أسارى بَدْرٍ بالحُكْمِ فيهم وفي تَأْبِيرِ النَّخْلِ فما يَلْزَمُ الكامِلَ أنْ يَكونَ لهُ التَّقَدُّمُ في كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وفي كُلِّ مَرْتَبَةٍ وإنَّما نَظَرَ الرِّجَالُ إلى التَّقَدُّمِ في رُتَبِ العِلْمِ بِاللهِ هُنالِكَ مَطْلَبُهُم وأمَّا حَوادِثُ الأَكْوانِ فلا تَعَلُّقَ لِخَواطِرِهِمْ بِها فَتَحَقَّقْ ما ذَكَرْناهُ
And even if the Seal of the saints is a follower, in [matters of legal] ruling, of the revealed law that the Seal of the messengers brought to him, that does not impair his station, nor does it contradict what we have maintained. For from one respect he is lower, just as from another respect he is higher. There has appeared, in the outward [sense] of our revealed law, something that supports what we have maintained: in the superiority of ʿUmar concerning the captives of Badr, regarding the ruling about them, and in [the matter of] the pollination of the palm trees. So it is not necessary for the perfect one to have precedence in every thing and at every rank. The men [of God] have looked only to precedence in the ranks of knowledge of God; that is where their quest lies. As for the occurrences of engendered beings, their thoughts have no attachment to them. So realize what we have mentioned.

al-Qāshānī
﴿وإن كان خاتم الأولياء تابعا في الحكم لما جاء به خاتم الرسل من التشريع فذلك لا يقدح في مقامه ولا يناقض ما ذهبنا إليه ، فإنه من وجه يكون أنزل كما أنه من وجه يكون أعلى ، وقد ظهر في ظاهر شرعنا ما يؤيد ما ذهبنا إليه في فضل عمر في أسارى بدر بالحكم فيهم في تأبير النخل ، فما يلزم الكامل أن يكون له التقدم في كل شيء وفي كل مرتبة ، وإنما نظر الرجال إلى التقدم في رتب العلم باللَّه هنالك مطلبهم . وأما حوادث الأكوان فلا تعلق لخواطرهم بها فتحقق ما ذكرناه﴾

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.
